I’ve had a Wyze Windows Cam for about a month, and it has worked as expected. It is running on a Moto G 2025 smartphone, on Android 16. But a few days ago, any “large” view started displaying a white bar at the bottom, over the Wyze logo and date-time stamp. In more detail, most portrait views di…

Today’s 3.22.0.973 (September 16, 2026) update fixed this problem.

Note that submitting a log won’t do anything without opening a ticket to go with it. It just goes into a black hole and gets discarded after a while. Try clearing the app cache (within the wyze app and also within android settings for the wyze app). If that doesn’t help, maybe uninstall and reins…

Strange, haven’t noticed it on my OGs (or v4 of Panv3s). I’m running the 3.21.1.962 on Android 14. Maybe it is related to certain screen resolutions.

Just checked one of my OGs and there is a white bar on the right side when in landscape mode. Been there for a little while, didn’t even think anything of it. But nothing covering the bottom or top and it isn’t covering the video (video is the same size it always was, just a bit of the black that …

There have been a number of UI issues with the android 3.21 update: Favorites tab freezing (just fixed with 3.21.1.962) Black/white bars depending on Dark/Light Mode. Thermostat screen displaying in a larger font. They may be converting the Android app from Java to Kotlin/Jetpack Compose UI … if …

[image] TerryL: They may be converting the Android app from Java to Kotlin/Jetpack Compose UI … if this is true probably will see more UI issues in the short term but hopefully a more modern app interface in the long term. Soon enough Claude will be writing the whole app.

I was going to try going back to an older version of the app from before the problem started. But, on trying to install 3.18.0.918 (July 23, 2026), I get the warning that there is a “version conflict” and that I need to “first uninstall the installed one.” What will I lose by doing this? Will I h…
