Is Pinch-to-Zoom stock on the Google maps app? or is my only option rooting the phone?
Why doesn't it work on the Eris (with 1.5) but works on my neighbors Hero?
View 7 Replies View RelatedSo I just picked up my Eris yesterday. For the most part it is working great right now but a couple things are a little annoying.
First, pinch zoom isn't working in the Google Maps app. Should it? Works great in the browser when surfing the web but not in maps for some reason.
Second, it clicks at me. For example, I'll hit the red power/call end button when I'm done using it to turn off the display. Then I'll set it down on the table or something and it makes these little intermittent click sounds just sitting there. After 5 minutes or so it stops. It isn't constant, just a couple clicks ever 10-30 seconds for a little bit then stops.
Is anyone else having extremely glitchy pinch to zoom on their Google map?
Double tap to zoom in works. I have Traffic Layered. My pinch to zoom is working for everything else like Sense UI.
What would cause the pinch too shrink and stretch to zoom fail on this stock camera app?.. it has only happened since the 2.1 leak .

Update: An XDA dev has made a permanent solution for Desire froyo ROMs. If anyone's interested you can follow his thread to see if it'll work on an Evo.

Update: A commenter on my Youtube video has found a fix!
On non mobile versions of sites when you zoom in it doesn't lock with the screen size and adjust the text accordingly. Even if you select the fit to screen option. Or am I doing it wrong?

View 11 Replies View RelatedIs that true? If so, that's a serious flaw for me because I resize text instead of using my reading glasses, constantly. I really don't want to have to keep scrolling back and forth to read larger text. Darn. What were they thinking?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI think I read somewhere that the hardware is multi-touch capable.. so, pinch to zoom should be do-able with software, yes? Does anyone know (for sure) if the upcoming Android 2.1 release will bring that to the Moment?
View 25 Replies View RelatedI've had my Desire for about a week end enjoyed pinch to zoom in many applications over the first few days. Somehow the feature was disabled or removed and I struggle to enable it again. Other threads mentioned an update followed by a reboot. I'm not aware of any OS updates and I've done several reboots without any change to the issue. Also, these threads seemed to be US related and about other and slightly older phones.
HTC Desire, firmware 2.1-update1, baseband 32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11, software 1.15.405.4, Vodafone Ireland network, no visible branding, not rooted

View 2 Replies View RelatedI just wanted to know if there is some kind of class to use the multitouch features of android 2.1. Specifically I am trying to implement pinch-zoom and was wondering if I always have to measure the distance between two touch events and calculate the zoom level on my own?

Unfortunately, this isn't working on HTC devices (HTC Hero, etc) with Android 2.1. Any ideas on how I can disable pinch-to-zoom in this browser? Works fine on the iPhone.
Just saw this in the Market Place. HEAT theme for the Dolphin browser supports pinch-zooming!
Initial tests show it works great..
My one gripe about the phone is solved.. all is well in the world again.
So i left my phone somewhere yesterday in a drunken stupor and have no idea where it is...
Is there anyway I can access my phone's location online like through google maps or something?
When I try to pinch zoom in, it sometimes zooms out twice as hard.

When I try to pinch zoom in or out, it sometimes just moves the map.
With sometimes I mean, every time I'm in google maps all 3 of those problems occur more than it works normal.

how can I get the optimum zoom level for the MapController in order to focus the middle of both points, but also have them on the map.
The whole thing should work at different screen resolutions. Sorry for asking that silly question, I know thats not very difficult, but at the moment my head is boiling..
Can someone please tell me how to use the zoom option on my ally?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI noticed that about 35% of the time when I try to pinch/zoom it flat out doesn't work. The little +/- are there and double tapping works just as it did pre-update.
Is this happening to anybody else? Most of the time its perfectly fine but when it doesn't work it acts pretty much like it did before the update.
I noticed my pinch to zoom isnt working today when surfing the web. Anyone else having this problem? Any thing I can do to fix it?
