Ok so I'm in love with this XZU. I've been playing with it since I got it Wednesday. But I keep having this annoying problem. Anytime I double tap the screen, even if I'm typing a text message or watching a video. The screen zooms in and a thin blue border goes around the screen while zoomed in. and it doesn't want to zoom out until I press home.
It's really annoying because it happens when I press the delete key too fast when I'm trying to erase text.
Anyway to disable this?
Have you activated "Magnification gestures" in Settings->Accessibility?

Lol I guess I did somehow . Thanks a lot it was driving me crazy.
It seems like the most annoying things are usually a simple fix but I somehow manage to overlook them EVERY TIME!

Weird. I think this is on most android tablets not just prime.
EDIT: Thanks for point it out guys! So this is a feature. If you tap on the sides it will scroll towards that direction. So its like a quick tap and scroll without really scrolling. Like what ready2mosh said, paddle shifters lol. Sweet I like this feature.

thats because your tapping the edge of the screen . its not picking up the slide motion
Hi, Whats the Agenda and Calendar widget you are using?
Thanks
There is nothing wrong with this, if you look at the left and right side when you tap or swipe over the screen, there are 2 light blue lines. If you tap in those areas the screen is told to move to that side, and since you are barely swiping across the screen, it cannot register that you are swiping, but only tapping.
Swiping motion is for the middle of the screen, edges are for flip control. Think of it as paddle shifter on F1 cars, much easier to shift (change page) with paddle than a stick(swiping).

Not true. I can replicate this in the app drawer too.
EDIT: NM you guys are right. If I tap on the corner it goes back and forth. Even i the app drawer. Thanks. I love this new quick paddle shifters hidden trick.

How do we take a screen shot without swiping the screen? This gesture idea is horrible, and I always swipe the screen to the next view while doing so....
Any help?
Thanks

Hold home button and power together for a few seconds

You know that you don't have to swipe right-to-left, and that left-to-right works as well? Also going slower seems to help.
Couldn't see anything obvious (like a way to map the double-top-tap gesture) so I guess your only recourse is Play store and a 3rd party screen capture app.
Thanks.. The hold power and home works. I tried earlier but didn't hold long enough... Gs2 was quicker.. But it works.... Thanks.

Good to see you can still take screenshots the old way. Wasn't to keen on the swipe idea.
When a new text message message comes in, it shows up on the lockscreen. There's a way to touch something on the lockscreen to take you straight to that message. I did it a few times but i can't figure out what i did. I know you can swipe up from the messaging icon at the bottom, but that just takes you to the messaging app, not the one that's being shown...
Its so frustrating... I know there's a way... A tap in the right spot, a swipe in the right spot... i just can figure it out..
I think i may have figured it out...
I think it may be a double tap.
Double tap doesnt work for me...
What does work, is a single tap on the mesage notification on the lock screen.....
That opens up a huge lined box underneath. .....
Swipe in that box, it takes you right to that message. ....even if you have other message threads.
Good luck

I get a huge white box, but otherwise the same.
After you tap the notification box ,then you swipe inside the huge box. .
Straight to the message.
Good luck
Yeah im struggeling with this crap too. Uncle Sam needs to improve this so its more user friendly.

On my s4 running stock rooted mdk, I use the native gallery app to view photos and am always annoyed by the preview strip of thumbnails obscuring the bottom of the frame when viewing a single picture full screen. I'm not sure how this got activated, but I can find no way to turn it off, and searches haven't helped. Anyone have a solution?

Doesn't work. I can tap a thumbnail and navigate to that picture, or double tap the current one to zoom in. But single tap, or tap-and-hold, does nothing, not on my S4, anyway. I tried just about everything that seemed intuitive before posting this question.

Not sure if it'd work but maybe try clearing data on Gallery?

Must be a problem with your setup. The strip will go away on its own after a few seconds or if you tap the screen. Pretty sure there is no setting for this.
Data wipe and reboot availed nothing, but good suggestion, and thanks for confirming that this is abnormal behavior. I haven't really messed with the system apart from rooting MDK and freezing the OTA processes so I don't lose my unlocked bootloader...so I'm not sure what I did that would've messed up the gallery. But if I finally get round to installing a 4.4.x ROM, perhaps the problem will go away.
I constantly open my phone to check the time, hit the home key one handed and look at time on lock screen. But now I'm holding my phone by the bottom right corner and have dropped the phone before while trying to reach up and press the side button to close... it's a pain.
Sure I can sit there and wait for timeout, or I can put it back in my pocket, in which case it might "swipe open" and be doing all kinds of things while in there.
Wouldn't it be cool to look at the time and just click something, like the home button again, or the 'back button' and have the phone close again??
Anyone know how?

Are you rooted? If so using the home or back button could be possible via smali edit. If your not rooted, I can write an app that will show a square (size determined by you) that will show on your lock screen. When you tap this square, it will shut off the screen, tapping and moving your finger on the square will move the square. Square is removed once unlocked.

You can reassign one of the capacitive keys (e.g. "back button") to turn the display off with an Xposed framework module. And there are legions of apps that do similar actions if you do a search.
Even better IMO is to use a lock screen app like Dynamic Notifications which can automatically show you the time when you pull it out of your pocket and automatically turn off the screen as you put it back in a pocket. Without pressing any keys at all. It does this by using the proximity sensor and it works very well indeed.

They may not be running xposed. Therefore an xposed module may not work. Secondly, all lock screen apps suck. Also, if it's using the proximity sensor to turn on the display from your pocket, it's draining additional battery.

All lock screens suck? Your objectivity is astounding. No subjective bias there whatever. The idea is to provide options to the OP, not cater to your idiosyncrasies.
The battery draw for the suggested app is tiny, much less than most apps that do not poll the proximity sensor and you have no idea if the OP may or may not wish to use an Xposed module.

No lockscreen app can provide the same amount of security as the default lockscreen. Therefore, it sucks. I can and have gotten around all popular lockscreen apps on the play store. Yes, the idea is to provide options to the OP, but make them good options and practical options.
