Broken DPI scaling on EMUI9 - Huawei P10 Guides, News, & Discussion

Hello.
May someone be interested. EMUI9 have broken DPI scaling, minimal width option in Developers settings working only on apps (some internal also) but lockscreen, notifications or icons (on the top, and launcher) still became large.
Attached screen shows quick settings panel with minimal width 530 dp in Dev settings.
Additionally, after phone reboot, it is reverting to default values (423 dp if chosen smallest screen size in settings).
Huawei agent told me that for sure it is bug, not feature.
I sent ticket to Huawei, maybe they fix this but i think we can raise up chance by mailing more from you...
What i checked, issue is not linked to P10, i.e. P20 Pro or Mate 20 series running on EMUI9 also have the same issue.
Regards.

Yes, bootloader is locked and it is my first phone which i don't want to root, because some bank apps are unable to pay via NFC when phone is rooted/unlocked.
It does not change nothing, official software should be done enough for end users, bugs like scaling is unacceptable...

After 3 weeks i've got answer from Huawei regardin DPI scaling.
What R&D said ? "We recommend using default values" ! I've expect any ETA or confirmation about issue but one more time Huawei shows that they only want moneys, not happy customers...
My first and last Huawei...

Everything is super huge when using the default settings - that's really not good news. They made it unfortunately worse.

Oh boy just got the update on honor 8 pro. The problem with dpi scaling is driving me nut. Want to smash the device against the wall. Anyone found a fix?

You should report to google developers
xposed framework
app settings add on
you could change the dpi/font, etc for that specific app which is the only solution i can think of for now
Mine looks completely normal.

I second this. Tablet mode for the new gmail app is awesome.

Yup, same here, but we're running at 400 DPI, while OP is running at 320. Still weird that the text is so small compared to 400 DPI, though.
OP, what's your system font size set to?

Ohh! My Font settings was "smallest" and one option on the gmail setting was somthink like "adjust mail to fit screen" (translated from my phone language) was checked. Changing the system font size make it readable again. Thanks to all, Cheers!!!

what DPI settings have you used?
After upgrading gmail on my phone, I also noticed straightaway how small the font was; hardly usable. On my tablet, it is fine. I went into accessibility settings, changed it to large; this fixed it, but across the whole system, large fonts are not great.

I had the same setting: "Auto-Fit messages". Now I have turned it off, and it is much better. However, the previous version worked fine with the same setting.
There is still the issue of too much wasted space on the new version. Maybe it is my normal initial reaction to such a big change, but so far, I find it a step backward on phones (tablets are ok).

If you could just help install and try to clone it to see if it works with a picture would help...as it decides whether I will buy it. Thanks

Hello all , I am really close to buy the phone but I want to ask about one vital functionality which I am not sure if the Poco supports it. So can you test if poco can have "any" two apps in split view? Also, there is an option in the developers secret menu which you choose "enable all apps to be resizabe" then reboot, and test again if now it works.
I would really appreciate if anyone test and tell me.Thanks.

Split screen is supported, not all apps though
I found the setting in developer options, enabled, rebooted but the apps that weren't supported earlier could not be used in split screen still.
Hope this helps.
Thanks exactly what I wanted to know. So you checked the settings"" enable all apps to be resizabe"" the rebooted and after did you verify if that option was enabled (ticked) after the reboot?In the picture it is not ticked.
Some Xiaomi phones allow that but some not. It will be strange if this powerhouse can't do that but Redmi Note 5 Pro can!

Yes, settings on - reboot - tried split screen
I switched the settings off after the apps did not work in split screen.
Have access to a redmi note 5 pro, will try there too.

Thanks , my nephew has the Note 5 AI (same like pro) and it alows all apps to be in split view. That's a real bummer for me as I want it for job purposes.

Hi, is there also a fastboot Version available?
Want to Flash with mi Flash comming from Xiaomi.eu and do a lock all bat thing.
Thanks
Yep!
Everything is working as i can see for such a quick time, even VoLTE and VoWiFi works and phone seems somehow smoother.
For now, excellent!
I too think the MIUI11 Android 10 feels a bit smother! It's going to take some time to get use to all the notification icons that all of a sudden clutters the notification bar! Think I have to disable some, or all!
VoWiFi and VoLTE works fine here too not a single thing so far to complain about after a couple of hours use.
after this update my usb tethering working no more..
solved.

Everything just beautifully works!

Really good job Xiaomi :highfive:!
Can someone check if Miracast works please?
Just installed update. All good for now.
What i hate is that there is still no app drawer option so i am forced to use Nova Launcher Prime. Still better than stock as i need app drawer.
They should give option for app drawer in stock launcher.
Edit: is it just me or autobrightness is still not fixed?
Still goes to minimum in dark.

Had this too, i disabled the GSM alphabet in sms settings and seems to fix the problem.
At least for me
Just installed this update, personally I think everything regarding the design looks worse than before. There's a bit of lag in almost every transition/animation. Checked the camera, photos come out blurier now than before and it seems the phone takes longer than before to process the shots, even for the easiest ones. I guess I'll see how it develops and maybe reset my phone because as of right now it looks and feels like crap.
Hi, just updated to the latest Miui via OTA, what should i after it?
Cleaning just cache will be ok, or i need to do a full data wipe?

The minimum at dark environment is adjustable with a second slider under Settings, Display, Screen brightness. Adjust upwards.

Yeap, that did the trick. Sms is working now.
Do you maybe know why it's failing with GSM Alphabet turned ON?
Perhaps this will help.

The only bug I found so far is with one handed mode. When you switch from one side to another it jumps to the middle of the screen for a second
Anyone managed to do the Miracast (cast) work??
Chrome runs like **** after this update, lots of stutter and framedrops. Xiaomis own browser runs smooth and even Microsoft Edge!

Enabling additional settings in the stock camera.

Enabling additional settings in the "standard" camera.
1. Using any file manager (for example, "Explorer"), go to the DCIM folder on the internal memory, then to the Camera folder .
2. Create a folder called Lab_options_visible .
Thank you.
Does anyone know what exactly does turning on the Internal Magic Tools do?
I can't tell a difference.
What does it do?

Doesn't seem to work. Did you just open the settings in the camera or is there an extra menu somewhere?

Strange. Works fine on my Mi Note Pro Global.
I can confirm that's working on pro version global
I find these useless tho
I've figured out that you have to use the built in file manager, don't know why.

Hello,
It is supposed to enable some internals tools to increase image quality.
Regards.
PD. At first attempt I failed because I created the new folder inside DCIM, but it should be in DCIM/Camera. @MacGuy2006 said it, but i forgot to read that part
Please tell me what is the option for Dual camera?

it's for touch focus timeout,
some other setting details :
MFNR => Multi-frame noise reduction
SR=> automatic scene optimization
Dual SAT => camera takes picture with dual camera and then combines them in one picture (every camera shoot's in her best optical range)
Anti banding option is i believe to remove bands caused from power lines (lights) and freq. in which they operate (60 Hz, 50 Hz or auto)
Confirming that this works with the Global update to Android 10.
There is a new option at the bottom, in Chinese. Does anyone know what it is?

Thank you, I think this was an old menu item. There is another Chinese item and that's the one that I'm wondering about.
Is there an option to simply save the preferences?
I always have to change back the flash to auto and change the slow motion back to 240 fps.
Hi! God some points!
1)Have some issues with focus on my camera after enable and disable those features. Now when i open the camera, it needs some time to focus, or not focus at all. Dont know if it has to do with those features.
2)Any idea in simple words what those options do, cause in reality i cant understand any difference.

90Hz would be a killer Feature
Google Rewards
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.paidtasks&hl=en_US
If you want a Free Version:
Download Termux
Type 'su'
Type 'settings put global oneplus_screen_refresh_rate 0'
Done!
AutoHz works well adjusting the refresh rate on a per-app basis while avoiding unnecessary battery drain, unlike using the ADB command.
Would it be possible to make such an app for oppo find X2 pro
how to be sure that the frequency varies?

You can set the refresh rate for any specific app to the fixed value you want (60Hz or 120Hz) or leave it on default. I use it for apps like Vivaldi Browser, which somehow only runs at 60Hz in default mode and scrolling isn't nearly as smooth as in Google Chrome. You can force 120Hz with AutoHz and get fluid 120Hz scrolling in any app, even if it doesn't natively support it. Same goes for the official YouTube app, which for me somehow only runs at 60Hz by default.
Hope I could give you an idea of the benefits. If you don't have any apps that seem like they don't run or scroll at 120Hz with 120Hz mode selected in your device settings, you pretty much won't need it anyways.
