Hello,
Recently purchased the M5 8.4 and I wish to use a sun hood with it.
However, it seems there are only 8.0" sun hoods available.
Some of the important icons are obscured by the sun hood.
Is it possible to restrain the screen width of the app? To make the rendered image just a little narrower in portrait.
Losing some screen off top and bottom would not be a problem if this is the only option.
It's for use with one app - X-hubsan.
I'm not an experienced android user.
If there's a more appropriate place to ask please let me know.
Thanks.

Has anyone found an app or method to stretch the comic page to completely fit the screen? When I choose "fit to screen" it has large black spaces on either side. I am looking for a way to utilize all my screen space without it shrinking the comic down to the size of say, the Nook Tablet. I guess the image would have to be stretched somewhat. Anyone know what i'm talking about ?
I haven't tried on the Touchpad yet, but on my Nook I would always use the "fit to width" option, then there is just some vertical scrolling needed. Of course, that has a smaller screen too so I would need to read in landscape mode and scroll for each row of panels. It still worked pretty well though.
I bought my touchpad just to read comics on. If your describing what I think you are, its because most comics are not the exact size of the screen so when your in portrait mode there's about a half inch of blank space so its just black. If you stretched the comic it would probably look weird.

That was one of my reasons for buying a TP too.
On PV for example, when you choose "actual size" it spreads past the left/right borders I would just love it to stay when it hits them so I can utilize all my screen space and not have to scroll. It would be stretching the image I guess but it doesn't look weird because I can do it if I zoom manually, but I have to do so for every page, thus, scrolling. I am not sure if there are other issues such as resolution complicating the problem. It's like the cropping issue on wallpapers - I just don't have the knowledge to identify what the problem is exactly. The correct borders aren't being detected. It seems to happen on every app. The "fit to screen" function thinks the black space is part of the comic.
It's not a huge deal I would just love to find a method to stretch the image to fit perfectly. Would gladly pay for it.
I use comic rack and when it's in landscape mode and I put it on single page, the page fits automatically width wise, doesn't go past. I just scroll up and down, don't need to go left/right to see cut off images. It's that what you're trying to achieve? Same thing goes with PV for me. Width wise the page fits

Perfect viewer works very well for me for all of the comics I've read. I fit to width and just have to touch to scroll once to get the last inch or so and then to turn the page. Works great with the TP as there seems to be minimal distortion of the panels with its aspect ratio.
Yes that is what I am using (fit to width). It is almost perfect but yeah, you gotta tap the page to get the extra height.
I am guessing this is some technical problem, as I have yet to see any reading app that can fill the page on both the width and height exactly. Yet, when I read PDF magazines on Perfect Viewer, it squeezes the image into the screen and I can read it easily.
Maybe it's the comic resolution or something (though I have tested multiple).
I don't see it not fitting vertically an issue. If everything did fit on the page sometimes the words would be too small to read. I use the TP in landscape mode all the time, I like viewing pages that way better.

Most of this was I answered above, recently referencing how PV delas with PDF's, squeezing it onto the screen.
Can't fathom reading comics in landscape mode as this would make them even bigger than most physical comics, and only allow you like 1 strip per read.
I was really happy with my LG G5, until after a week or so, I noticed that the screen actually seems to have problems with "fast" change of movement. And I am really annoyed at this point by it, because I compared it with other devices of mine, and it's not that bad on these older devices. For example my old phone, a Samsung Galaxy S3, doesn't have this issue at all.
You can easily notice it in the Android settings (use list view). When you now slowly move up/down with your finger, you see that all fonts have a "ghost-effect" (get blurry) of not properly refreshing in time. There is a bit of border / re-draw affect around each word on the screen.
You will notice it also for example on the app store scrolling down / up, or in an app drawer (if you have a launcher with app drawer) and scroll through the app list.
On my phone i have no ghosting or problems with fast change of movement. There is a website called "testufo" where you can test your display for ghosting and FPS.
Hello,
Iam planing to Upgrade my Car Infotainment System.
I want to integrate an ultra wide Display with an Display Ratio of 21:6
And operate it with an Android Board Like an Odroid xu4
As the Display is ultra wide i want to permanently Display 2 apps at the same time next to each Other. These Apps should be displayed in a fixed Layout (one App Covers 2/3 of the width and the Other 1/3)
as the Layout should be fixed and i want the Apps displayed next to each Other right from Startup iam searching for a way to achiev this.
I need a way to permanently "Split"/devide the Screen and a way to start on These splitted Screen halfes an App on Startup.
Is there Any way to achiev this?
I hope for some ideas.
With Kind regards.
Hi,
Got my 20 Pro on Friday and so far I'm relatively pleased with it. There seem to be a few teething issues.
In-screen fingerprint scanner
- Doesn't work 100% of the time for me. More like 70% of the time.
- I find it less usefull than one on the rear. With a scanner on the rear you can use it to pull down the notifications whatever screen you might be in. ie I can be in the Browser and still pull the nitifications down with a swipe. I haven't found a way of doing that on the 20 Pro without coming out of the active app?
Some apps are not working?
- Just crashes straight away?
Gesture navigation
- coming from a Xiaomi it is clear where Huawei took their inspiration from. But it simply does not work as smoothly. Flicking up form the bottom should just take you home with a flicker of the previous apps coming up. Just a little thing but hey!
EMUI Desktop question
I also have a Mat 10 Pro on which I use the Desktop application extensively and it works very well. However with the 20 Pro the displayed resolution is much lower, as if it reduced from wqhd to hd? Is there a way around this? It is actually making it pretty useless.
Apps:
Are you talking about native apps? As they should have been thorough benchmarked against Pie 9.0 before being released on a phone. If its apps from Nougat or Oreo, then there's a possibility those apps require updates for suitability on the new OS.
Fingerprint:
Are you using the same pressure for each tap? Have you tried unregistered and re-registering your finger print again (touch different areas of your finger around the sensor area)?
EMUI Desktop:
Can you explain what is wrong with the resolution of FHD using desktop EMUI? Lower res (at least not under 720p HD) is good to prolong battery life...what sort of work are you doing (do you really need 2K resolutions? How did you find battery life with full res quality on M10P?

Hi, thanks for your answer.
You might well be right about the apps, some of them probably need updating to Pie. However, I'm having an issue connecting Android Wear notifications. There is a Wear Alert saying saying it needs aces to Notifications, which it has. When I click on the the link Wear just closes down. All the settings are correct and the watch (Huawei W1) is paired. So that's...annoying
I have deleted the fingerprints and re-registered them, it might be about 80% successful now. But it is more the loss of functionality which is a shame. A physical fingerprint sensor can be used to swipe down notifications much more easily. But hey ho.
The desktop just looks really zoomed in on the m20p compared to the m10p. Is there a way of zooming out? Unusable otherwise.
I think I might sell the m20p and get the Mi Mix 3, it has a physical fingerprint sensor, gestures work seamlessly for all launchers including Nova (really don't like the Chinese UI's - EMUI, MIUI etc...) and it has no notch.
Wait for build 122 if you aren't already on it. Widely discussed in multiple threads here...might fix one or more of your problems RE: wear/apps and the consistency of fingerprint. Cannot help you with Desktop function just yet.

I can't get desktop mode to work. Is it a specific cable I need? I use a USB-C to HDMI that works fine with my Note 9, but nothing at all happens.
Also, is there a way to use Wireless Projection to a Chromecast? Or any other tips on how this works...

I have taken some screenshots (attached) to illustrate the issue I am having with the m20p (first) as opposed to the m10p (second).

I think it's a DPI not a resolution difference. Yes, I also find the lower DPI (larger fonts and elements) annoying. EMUI Desktop needs to have customization options.

Yes, you are right DPI, not res. It seems like a retrograde stepp to me.

The front fingerprint reader works 99% of the time for me. I find you simply have to press harder on it than a standard finger print reader. The pulling down the notification shade with the scanner is probably one of the least used features on any phone to be honest "shrug". Back readers are just so clumsy. Using my note now is like going back to the 80's in back to the future haha.
Flicking up with gestures on standard launcher works perfectly. It is the non standard launchers that will require updating.
As for the desktop mode, it's most likely down to your TV or a required update on the Mate. Also make sure you have the resolution on the phone set manually to the resolution you want.

Hmm, each to their own views on useful functionality. Personally, I find the ability to pull notifications down whilst using the phone, holding it with one hand and not having to close any apps useful. More so with the m20p since there is already an unlocking mechanism on the front.
No doubt it is non standard launchers causing the issue with gestures, but I can only say that they work perfectly on Xiaomi devices and Nova.
The irritation with the desktop is that the m10p displays fine on the same monitor. Some kind of dpi issue.

Samsung DEX is way better than either the m20p or m10p in terms of desktop environment on a smartphone. Checkout the various options for the screen resolution for the desktop on Samsung DEX.
has anyone managed to fix the resolution issue with desktop mode yet?
This is one of the main reasons I bought the mate 20 x and if the resolution isn't going to be fixed then I might be going to samsung unfortunately
Hey,
So hoping someone can point me in the right direction here,
My use case is the following:
I will be using an android smart TV to feed into a projector. Normally it will be an 80" projection, however when I am watching network TV I would like to reduce the size of the projection to a smaller size (lets say 50").
So to do this I would like to be able to tell the Android TV to only 'draw' the bottom centre of the screen, so for example if the normal projection is 4k I would like to draw a 1080p picture in the bottom middle and have the rest of the picture essentially 'off'. An alternative would be to just send a black image to the rest of the picture but still only have the active part of the screen in the bottom middle.
Is this possible, and if so what should I be looking for?
