Just moved from a P3XL to P5, and realized I can no longer double tap to zoom in/out whilst in camera app. Is there some setting I've missed? I was previously not using gestures to navigate on the P3XL.
This makes me rather angry, as I'd come to rely on that setting. I don't even think the double tap does anything. What a waste!

please answer some questions if you cant answer them all...
1. I saw there is a mod that makes the htc logo the menu button....does that also make the black bar go away in apps that have the black bar?
2. during gaming or swiping can you accedently press the back button? for example swiping from screen to back button activates it or not? (does it require a tap, or will a swipe suffice?)
3. how much does the GPU eat. how many hours could i play modern combat 4 for example? an average of time would be enough.
4. can i zoom in during recording slow motion videos?
i currently own a galaxy S4 wich has desame camera features....but all need to be set before you make the photo. the htc one just makes the photos and then after making them you can select those functions like drama shot and eraser wich is very nice.
the thing that i dont like on the htc one is a smaller screen size and afraid i will tab the back button every time.
1. With 4.2.2 you have the option to remove the menu bar, you can make it so that if you hold the home button, it acts as a menu, and swipe the home up for Google Now, and double tap home for recent apps. its in Settings/Display & Gestures
2. never had any accidental back button presses during gaming.
i cant answer the other two

thanks! have you tried to swipe from game/screen to back? will it activate it?
maybe is there a way to only make that button work doing a double tap?

1. The black bar will still be there on 1.2x ROMs, but with the 4.2.2 ROMs now circulating, it is removed by default.
2. I have never accidentally swiped until it hit the back button, but if you're having issues with that you can just turn the phone the other way round so that the buttons are on your left instead of on your right (assuming you're right handed)
3. I have not played MC4 (just bought it today), but it can play Asphalt 7 for about 3-4 hours before it rolls over and needs a charge.
4. You won't want to do any zooming of any kind on camera phones, cos it's digital zoom. Optical zoom is achieved when the lens in the camera move to give you a closer view, but digital zoom just enlarges the pixels on your screen and looks fantastically ugly.
I am not sure if it was the 4.2.2 update but when I play games now my touches don't register UNLESS I long tap it and/or slide my finger slightly. If I just tap the screen it won't recognize anything. This only happens in games..... all other apps are fine.
Also, when I double tap the screen in my games it allows me to zoom in? Since when?
Anyone have this problem?
EDIT: I've found my problem.... I had magnification gestures turned on under settings > accessibility.
This new feature on 6.0.1 does not work on my phone, despite several restarts, safe mode activation, etc. Will not do software repair for now- too much hassle.
Am I the only user who has this problem? Seemed like a nice idea: after double tap to wake, now double tap to sleep!

Are you using the Home launcher?
This was a Concept feature, I'm not sure if it was in the full release. But, if it did, you need to double-tap on an empty area of the homescreen in Home.
I am sure it's a final release feature: the option to toggle it on or off appeared in my home screen settings menu after downloading 6.0.1.
And yes, I know how to activate it: double tap empty space on home screen.
Any Z3 Compact owner reading this whose double tap to sleep works?
Tap To Sleep in 6.0.1: Issue Solved
Just figured it out: while in "tap to wake" I can use many different intervals (i.e. time between the two taps) to activate the function, "tap to sleep" will only accept a precise interval to work: if I double tap just 50 milliseconds too fast or too slow, it will not work.

Well, I suppose that makes sense. Must be frustrating to get that timing right, though..
HI, you need to long press on your home screen and then you get it selected with everything what's there. When you see this that you an remove or add items to your home screen there will be either a setting icon or a plus icon on the bottom that you need to click on. This will show a menu where if you scroll down will give you the option to activate "double tap to sleep" feature. Sony could have put the double tap to wake up and sleep mode in one place ……
Hi,
I have a short question - is it possible to customize fingerprint scanner gestures in the P10? Is there a mod or something to do that? I can't stand current selection, single tap should always be 'home'. My perfect set of gestures would look like this:
single tap - 'home'
swipe left - 'back'
swipe right (or up) - 'multitasking/recent apps'
swipe down - pull down the shortcut panel
tap and hold for 0,5 sec - screen off
double tap - toggle between recently used apps (P8 had this! Even bare bones Android has such function)
Give Tasker a try. I don't know, if it's working and if it won't make problems with the EMUI settings, but you can give it a try.
I have to say, that a swipe for everytime I want to go back would be very annoying. I was 9 years on iPhone before I got my P10 and had to get use to it, but know it's like an automatism.
Not going 'home' after tapping the "home" button is much more annoying. Besides the 'back' button is usually on the left side so swiping left is the closest thing.
I asked on the Tasker forums and one of the users said that it requires TouchTask plugin (for Tasker). We'll see.
Were you able to customize the gestures? Did tasker work? I don't use Google app (disabled it) and think there should be a remap feature... Should not be that hard to do...
Hi,
I'd like to implement a camera shortcut other than the stock one with the volume rocker, as that is really awkward when trying to adjust volume.
On LineageOS and stock Samsung S7 software, you can set double press home to launch the camera. On most android phones you can use a double press of the power button.
Can either of these things be activated on the P20 Pro through and app or module?
I really miss that feature.
A workaround would be using for example "Edge Gesture" . You can configure different gestures on the edges to open up the Camera App or any other App. For example whenever I hold the right display edge for 1s, it will open up the camera.
I would also be interested in a solution involving physical buttons. But at least you won't miss the shot so easily anymore.
Hi,
I'd like to have a shortcut on my homescreen to e.g. pro-mode and monochrome. Alas, when long-pressing the camera app symbol, it only gives me choices I don't want. Is there any way to get other camera modes as shortcuts apart from those?
greetings
