Solutions for UI & Text scaling issues

My best attempt so far at a universal workaround is live now. It's working on 3 test devices I am using:

1. Samsung S20 FE - Correctly detects UI is oversized, downscales accordingly


2. Samsung A52s - UI is also downscaled / corrected


3. Huawei P30 Pro - UI is not touched as it's already correct

This solution is extremely efficient, should not impact performance on any devices and should also work whether you use the latest webview or not on these devices. It will leave it alone whenever it can't detect a scaling issue and downscale it whenever it detects that it is oversized.

I am aware of one small problem which is on devices that require their UI to be rescaled tooltips appear misaligned, and I'll look in to that, but the important thing is that the UI is consistent across all devices and webview versions again.

Hi Alessandro, please try again now. I have attempted to detect the issue in another way. It looks like the S10 lite was bypassing the old check (only just). If it works, then I will apply it to the forum and resume work on tooltips.

I just released another variation on this, can everyone clear cache and check that the UI is the correct scale?

The Samsung S20 was a unique case where the UI was smaller than it should be but the text was larger, so I've tried to scale both up and down as needed now to get every phone looking identical. My three test devices look as close to identical as I'm going to get it.

The forum should be looking better on the Samsung devices now.


I was worried this would happen on some other devices... could you share a screenshot? This is the challenge with trying to create a universal solution.

EDIT: also, what version of the app are you using?

EDIT2: I've added extra sanitizing of the font size changes, so they should not change by more than 30%.

Thanks. Before the changes, can you remember if your cash balance used to overlap with the menu button at all? Or were the fonts in the UI particularly large?

Also, have you tried doing another cache clear? From Profile pic (top right) -> Settings -> Clear cache

Just in case, I've just removed the code that checks for this as it won't impact the fixes for all the Samsung users but will let us isolate what is causing the small text.


If you clear cache again, the issue still persists? Do you have any screenshots from before today's patches that I could compare the UI against?

I have to leave now but I will keep working with you on this. I will get José to talk to you to see if we can bring you in to our discord server where we could work on this more easily.

I will get the issues with these devices resolved either tonight or tomorrow. Thanks for the reports.

Please always attach screenshots if possible, it helps to understand what needs to be done.
