Hi,
Not sure if this is an Android issue or specific to the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge but only 2 digits show to indicate actual speed, ie @ 130 Kph only 13 Kph is visible.
Landscape or portrait same issue, any ideas?
Cheers |

Hi,
Not sure which setting, puts a 2 digit limit on the speed indicator. I’m sure 3 figures used to be visible, but not any more.
CamerAlert burned into the screen is great in the UK, though I now use a different Android app for Kph and to get round the “zones of dangererousness” issue in France.
Let me know if you find the 2 to 3 digit setting.
Thanks. |

I've provided a link to a screenshot of when I was on the HS2 from Ashford to StPancras.
At times it goes parallel to a road with speed cameras so I thought I'd give it a whirl:

Because it shows the 3 digit 131, top left, in red  _________________ Satnav:

.........at 249 kph on another app, CameraAlert shows as 24 kph.
I'll clear the cache, app' is getting a bit buggy. |

Back in the old memory banks I'm sure we've had this reported before but I can't remember what the outcome was. _________________ Satnav:

My Samsung S10 is only showing 2 digits, must try and find the above settings
Turned off zoom but where is the font size ?
Got it, main phone 'font and style' setting.
Must remember that next time I'm on the HS1 doing ~140mph _________________ Satnav:
