Is there a way to crop out the screen edges? - OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers

is there a way to crop the screen edges so that i can see games and everything with flat edges instead?
any type of android screen cropper tool/app will be appreciated if they exist.
THANKS in advance!

I don't understand your reasoning for purchasing a device with a waterfall screen if you have no intentions on utilizing it

I completely understand your frustration, I bought tipping point when I was bored just to see what it was like and it's a good little quiz game.
However the bottom and top part of the game is cropped off.
So yep, I know what you mean, I think perhaps changing aspect ratio may help.... Or maybe changing resolution.
Could complain to 1+
Or even ask the developer to accommodate your screen, we can't be alone with this as waterfall screens are quite common..

Good luck finding a high end device today without a waterfall edge screen.
I honestly prefer flat square 16:9 but they are quite extinct.

I remember phones that lets you ply game and force phones down to 1080p 16:9 but they all removed that option like taking a step back in technology.
Is it that hard for them to add an option in display below the full screen to have 16:9?
The only app i found that can do such a thing is screen shift in the ply store. Needs root but i will try it.
Lets you choose resolution per app as well

I'm with you guys on preferring a flat screen but I have to admit, one benefit of a curved screen is edge gestures are way more comfortable/satisfying compared to swiping on a flat screen!

No not at all, some Devs will give this option. Most video players do..
Just a case of asking for it, you may even be able to edit a config file for what it outputs

Anyone else's screen like this?

Did anyone else notice how the screen can be kinda grainy? its only really noticable if your kinda close to the screen and most noticible on text in a web page or something thin. Is it normal for OLEDs or is something wrong with my phone
I can at least confirm that compared to the G1, the Nex1 screen is insanely oversaturated and the contrast is really high. You might also be noticing that in many applications lazily designed for smaller screen dimensions, raster graphics are being scaled up, which causes nasty artifacting (text and pure vector apps should be okay, though).
And now that you mention it, if I hold the phone *really* close to my face, the dot patterns are a little more visible than on a non-OLED.
][
i know for a fact the oversaturation is normal. OLED displays show much more saturated colors than LCDs because of their design. Im talking specifically about the grainyness meaning how edges look kind of dotty its hard to explain with words lol. Its usually not noticible unless you hold it up close to your face or youre specifically looking for it.

Those are called pixels.. put your nose to any LCD screen and you'll see the same..
It's because some things just weren't built for the higher res screen the N1 sports compared to other Android devices, that and the screen has a significantly sharper image than any other phone I've looked at.
Yeah, you can tell some apps and widgets werent designed for hi-res, this phone is blowin me away so far though, I love my G1 and mytouch but they got nothin on this beast

You're seeing it more because of the nature of the OLED screen methinks, everything is much more pronounced, which is why it creates such a nice picture.
im asking if YOU are noticing it lol
Yea, if I look really really really really close I can sort of see it, nothing to worry about though
like how close? youre making it sound like youre using an electron microscope or something. I can begin to notice it about half a foot away!
sorry if i sound nit-picky I payed 530$ and want to make sure my phone is perfect (especially since im probably gonna void my warranty and unlock the bootloader)
If my nose is almost touching it I can see the pixels somewhat, depends what application I'm looking at though.
i can just imagine all of you guys just stilling there putting this nexus one up to your noses and having someone walk in and yell "WTF are you doing?!"
... blueman did you notice this as well or no
unfortunately my nexus one is still somewhere in between Moutain View and Vegas.
Melt, I can see what you're talking about but I don't really notice it unless I'm looking for it or like someone else said I hold it right next to my face, but I can't tell what you're freakin out about cause as a whole my display looks damn amazing.
why are people so paranoid about things?
cause these things cost 530$ + tax.
the grainyness you're seeing is probably upscaled images from 3rd party applications. Since the Droid and Nexus one both have super high res screens, some applications graphics wont fit properly, and the phone will resize them without re-rendering it.
Kinda like trying to print a 1 megapixel image on a billboard, it will turn into giant pixels.
The stock android apps should look fine though. So far I've been very pleased with the display and how things look.
hope this helps. I work a lot with graphics.

Now you got me curious. I can notice the pixel grain (especially on gradient backgrounds) at about 5" or closer. I am slightly nearsighted, though.

It's a moronic comparison of two entirely different technologies.
Google isn't paying anything to the big techno blogs sites so what do you expect?
I've seen articles ranging from explaining how Google steals all your dataz and kills your dog to how google is bribing carriers and phone manufacturers to adapt android. The only thing you should do is to utilize your own judgement and get used to tech sites being like this. This isn't going to change anytime soon.
As I understand it the phone has the pixels it says it does it just doesn't utilize them properly, it also doesn't utilize RAM properly, I think it could also utilize the 5mp camera and 1ghz processor better.
The point is that the phone seems like it was rushed to the market and I believe a lot of the problems can be addressed with software updates. I just hope Google finishes whatever is taking all of their time so that the issues can be addressed. But I do think that so many of the issues can be resolved and this phone can truly become a "superphone". The nexus is taking a lot of well deserved criticism lately but Android has the ability to respond and improve the nexus/android experience without hardware overhaul, and I believe that's very shiny silver lining...
There's always some problem with every device. The only problem with nexus one is that it has no major issues, just minor ones which are being highlighted by iPhone lovers. AMOLED is a new technology, so things are different.
so he created some stippled greyscale pictures that produce artifacts because of the way the pixels are arranged on the N1 screen.
so what? like who looks at stippled greyscale pictures using their N1 anyway?
I also took a picture of some of the status bar icons using a digital camera in macro mode and my screen does not look like his picture of the 3g icon at all.
Its all about how the eye perceives images, forget that pseudo science. The AMOLED screen on the N1 is the best screen I have seen on any phone, black levels are incredible and contrast is good.
text is readable at a smaller font size than other phones.
If the N1s screen does have faults in the implementation of AMOLED then we can expect even better screens in the future using that technology, but as of today it is the best IMHO
Ha!

Beautiful display I could care less how the 480x800 res comes about. Everything looks amazing

To be fair, many of us do recognize the fuzziness of the text and the article explains why that is happening. Perhaps a better statement (whether or not the tone of the article supports it) would have been "Your N1 has a beautiful sharp display that wows people, but the text seems a little fuzzier than you would expect for such a nice screen. Why the difference?"
I think the text can look a lot better with the right tweaks to the text rendering code, but either they tried and didn't get it right or they simply haven't created AMOLED-specific text rendering routines yet.
I'm sorry, but I'm not seeing this fuzzines of which ye speak.
I don't see the fuzzyness either.... and I got the best vision a human has... I read the bottom smallest lines at the eye doctor....
But whatever
Edit... after closely looking at it I see on the right of words a little fuzzy look, all I got to say is.... Bwahahahaha lame, I don't give a ****... nexus one is beautiful Lmaooo picky people...
Haters gonna hate.
This is so funny. I work in a design oriented field. While I do not plan on designing on the phone (probably would if the right apps come out!), I do use it to show and review design work. This phone does everything I need it to do. If it's good enough for me and my clients I'm guessing it is good enough for most. Hate on.

HTC One Sharp panel digitiser issue

As we all know HTC One cam with 3 types of screen
those are JDİ c_1, JDİ c_2 ans Sharp panel
it was kind of wierd that all new phones have in cell touch technology where touch sensor integrated in screen, advantages with that slimmer phone, brighter screen and less reflection.
HTC chose old fasion but issue with that especially on sharp panel digitiser visible and its whe you notice annoys you.
What am I supposed to be noticing here?
I think he's talking about those lines. Personally, i consider that a viewing angle issue.
As someone who returned his phone twice for aesthetic reasons, this one would not bother me.

If it is those lines, then it isn't a Sharp panel issue in particular, mine doesn't have this. Just checked.

You need to angle it correctly with sunlight(only) to be able to see it. It won't show up on artificial lights.

Thanks. Just tried this and it was INCREDIBLY hard to see the lines, but they were there. I couldn't even make out the screen anymore since I had to put it directly in the sun in a retarded angle. Would not have noticed this in a million years. Maybe it's worse on some screens, on mine it's a non issue
No lines with JDI_C2 panel

This is a pointless thread adding negativity to a phone with probably the best screen in the market. I had both JDI and Sharp. It is visible in both, maybe Sharp a little more but i have already mentioned the benefits of this panel.

For those having the issue, are these lines only visible when outdoors in bright light and holding the phone at an unusually sharp angle? Can you see the lines when viewing the phone from a normal angle? You can see where I'm going with this.

I'm not pretty sure though... Mine is a samsung JDI screen and I can see the lines when phone is facing direct sunlight and looking in a 120 degree angle Anyways I don't use my phone like that and it's not a bother to me. Honestly I just noticed it 3 times since getting the phone.
You can see the lines clearly in the sunlight. Like you normally hold your phone, they go away if you angle it more towards yourself. They are a huge flaw. I have never seen any phone have this crap
I have owned
S2, s3, optimus g, Xperia s, HTC one x, lumia620
I can only see them when the screen is turned off, and holding the phone in a way no one uses their phone... And then it is barely noticeable. The One X had this as well.
My biggest issue, however, is that when I hold the phone at a certain angle and focus my eyes differently, I can see my reflection. I hope warranty covers the reflection issue :crying:

I too noticed lines and also noticed a small purple burn in image on my screen. My phone is less than a Month old and I have had plenty of high end phones that do not share the HTC ONEs screen problems that I have experienced thus far. The phone is great, and I do not feel people should be scared of other people who make sharp comments negating their honest views. I hate closed minds. I applaud everyone who expresses their individual problems with a device they paid top dollar for. Just because we highlight certain areas of a phone does not mean we are not credible in our complaints.

I second this flaw. Don't let people tell you this is natural. Neither my iPhone or Galaxy S4 has showed these lines and if they did I would comment. I can also see mine at a correct viewing angle in outside sunlight. I should note I love my HTC ONe. I share no brand "fan boy" feelings.

The benefits (since you asked):
1. Best brightness value
2. Best viewing angles
3. Most accurate color display/calibration
4. Highest pixel density (marginal, I know, but the numbers are what they are)
5. Most natural white temperature
All of these confirmed through various reviews/comparisons of current android phones. I can also personally attest to these through my own comparisons with numerous phones side by side. This does not include iphone 5 which is better still in most of these categories.
So the point made (and a very valid point I would say) was that if we have to deal with this insignificant "problem" to have a better display in most other senses, for me that's a no-brainer. No one in these threads seems to accept that yes, it's normal for this phone. Maybe that's not ideal for some for whatever reason and that's totally fair, lucky them there's other excellent phones to choose from. Everyone has their own priorities

Pure Ergonomic genius

The sad thing about ergonomics done well is that nobody notices! Whereas, if you screw something up so that a product is unusable, everyone notices. So I thought I'd sing the praises of the bezel design of the Nook HD+, which just struck me the other day.
See, I had read some (non-mainstream) review of the HD+ where the reviewer was griping because he didn't like the looks of the raised bezel around the screen on the Nook HD+. He thought the glass should extend across the face, like it does on my Galaxy Tab 2.
But have you noticed that, when you're holding the HD+ in your hand, that you aren't sending false touches to the screen? I've read that Apple had to put some software in the iPad to mitigate this. Others in the Android world (like, with the Galaxy Tab 3, simply gripe that they can't hold their Tablets in portrait mode without constantly causing a page flip due to a false touch.
But that raised bezel on the HD+ is subtle. It keeps your fingers away from the screen just enough so that there are no false touches!
Doesn't require any software. Doesn't require any leaning (how to hold the tablet.) Brilliant!
Yeah I like it too.
The only thing is it does not allow slide in gesture. Though that doesn't seem to be something that's used in android (it is used plenty in ios)
Unfortunately, b&n is so poorly run and their market share so small they're not going to get much props or respect for what they get right.
well done b&n, indeed.

Now imagine if you will, this device with a genuine Tablet UI. Near Nirvana until Google decided to do us all a favor.
Yes the bezel does help in holding the tablet...though I am scared of gripping it too hard!
Excellent industrial design overall...at the current selling price, I would rate it better than any other tablet (based on price/performance or price/features ratio)...more so after installing CM11
.....A light sensor and a front camera would have killed the competition (at negligible cost to manufacture)

Their loss, our gain. I bought my HD+ (CPO) for $120 a few weeks ago from Fry's Elec. Before that, I was hankering for an HP Slate 8 Pro, with it's 4:3 aspect ratio screen. But HP wants almost 3 times as much for their 8 Pro, and it has a fatal flaw!
I wish I had bought a HD+ for $99 on Black Friday, but the xda developers (and the CM developers) weren't as far along with ROM development as they are now. There was the brick bug problem with TRIM and it didn't seem like it would work. But now that all that's behind us, if prices dip again, I might buy a second one. I don't know that anyone is ever going to make a 3:2 screen again, even tho it's close to the "golden ratio" and arguably the best AR for tablets. (Okay, the guy says Apple got it right with 1.6. But for moving maps in airplanes, 1.5 is better. )

I'm confused. In Google Play, I can come from the left outside, off the bezel, and "slide in" to open the left slide out menu. Is that a "slide in" gesture? Or is a "slide in" gesture something else? I've never used iOS, so I don't know.

You're right. A flat bezel does make the slide in gesture a bit easier. But I think nook makes the right trade-off.
I also think the curved edge makes the nook more comfortable to hold. In the tech review game, however, it's all about looking cool and how many mm thick you can get down to, so nook loses again.
I only wish that B&N had also gone off the beaten path w.r.t. aspect ratio and picked 4:3 instead of 16:10. I think 4:3 is a lot better for web, email, reading, and even games (on small screen). That's 80-90% of what I do with a tablet. The only thing wide screen is good for is watching tv/movies. But that's what I have my big screen tv for.

Not to nitpick but this is 3:2 ratio. At least the HD+ is.
I do agree that for pretty much ANYTHING other than media consumption 4:3 is the way to go. Even then, 16:9 shows aren't too bad.

I get "false touches" on my HD+ a lot. So much so that sometimes I have to turn the screen off and back on to get it to register a real touch. I think it has to do with the metal sides conducting bioelectricity. So the bezel may be great, but it certainly doesn't serve much purpose aside from comfort in holding the device.

Agreed, 4:3 seems to me to be the best form factor for a tablet overall. I've actually always been curious about this. Is there any consensus out there on why Android manufacturers mostly go with 16:10 instead? Do they just want to be purposefully different to the iPad, or are they making an educated assumption of some sort that a majority of users will use their tablets mostly for watching video?

I think maybe originally it was just to be different from apple. But this was one thing Steve Jobs got right.
to me a lot of apps just feel better in 4:3. Take gmail. Pretty much the same app on ios and android in term of basic layout and functionality. But it looks more proportionally pleasing on my ipad than the nook. The message list is less cramped vertically, with right amount of white space. The message pane feels right, not too wide and short. Probably has something to do with the golden ratio and all that.
I can't find any 4:3 android tablet that isn't from a no name Chinese manufacturer. ditto Windows metro. The whole widescreen thing started when movie makers wanted to differentiate from tv. then HDTV came along and wanted to more closely resemble the movies (and differentiate from SD). They should've thought twice about replicating widescreen in a small multi-purpose hand held device.

Permanent screen burn in artefacts after some hours in chrome.

Everybody should check their screens for burn in artefacts. as you can see my screen is f****d.
i've also provided a picture with higher contrast so the artefacts are more visible.
to check if your screen is affected.
enter a dark room,
use max brightness,
and turn it vertically in playsotres gray Background.
Wow, Can anyone else confirm this ?
If it really has a pathetic design flaw like this, then I am cancelling my order.

Wow, Can anyone else confirm this ?
If it really has a pathetic design flaw like this, then I am cancelling my order.

You're kidding right?
You do know that regardless of the company (samsung, Apple, OnePlus etc), having a dud is normal right? There is always a percentage that will have issues from fabrication or imperfections in material.
This includes screens, batteries, SoCs and memory among others.
All you have to do is return if you're the unlucky person to get the 1 bad one out of a thousand.

Everybody should check their screens for burn in artefacts. as you can see my screen is f****d.
i've also provided a picture with higher contrast so the artefacts are more visible.
to check if your screen is affected.
enter a dark room,
use max brightness,
and turn it vertically in playsotres gray Background.

replace your phone! i did it too. got a new one
All amoled screens can get screen burn. Be careful with static images for more than an hour at a time. Try changing it up.
Do different refresh rates increase the chance of a burn in issue?
I have screen burn where finger print logo shows... Not buying a Nubia again
Reason why i dont want to use the aod and auto screen on is disabled. Static images is never good for any screen.

Yes, they don't.
The OP was in a TG group with me with over 500 members. We also have other TG groups and he is the only one I know who had it.
I hope you know that the manufacturing process is not perfect and is a lottery.
Thats why there's always an expected failure rate of components.
Regardless of the quality of screens, they will have several failures and those devices will be used by someone who'll say I'll never buy xyz again
The problem is no manufacturer is guaranteed to avoid this phenomenon.

If the screen is defective due to materials or manufacturing process, it doesn't matter if its made out of diamonds it will fail after a day, week or month.
Screen burn-in after 2 weeks may not necessarily mean that the company made fake or low quality screens.
For example, company A may have 2 out of a thousand screens have burn-in within the first two weeks of release. Then subsequently, have 7 more burn-ins in the next 3 years. That's a 10/1000 failure rate = 1%
While company B will not have burn-ins in the first year but have 14 in second year and 23 in the third year. That's a 37/1000 failure rate =3.7
So, to know if a company's device screens are good, we shouldn't try to know how soon but rather, how many?
That will tell us if it's an exception or a rule.

BTW, all underscreen fingerprint displays have a sort of mark where the FP sensor is which sometimes is evident.
To know if you truly have a burn-in, use the many apps on playstore to view that area especially in grey, use both max & min screen brightness then take a picture with another phone and post here.
*note that burn-ins aren't visible via screenshot. So you need to take picture/video with another phone.

BTW, did you Google?
There are ROG 3s that got screen burn-ins after a days use. Just 1 day! .
Based on your analysis, I think the ROG 3 makes the worst screens ever. Even worse than RM5G (which got screen burn-in after weeks).
Also, when you Google, there are more complaints about screen burn-in on ROG 3 than RM5G.
People should never buy Asus ROG again lol.
BTW, I'm unbiased.
Check my comments here on ROG 3 forum months ago when someone had a screen burn-in. I told him the same I told you.
