Help Zooming Pictures 911 HELP

TOZZ

Lurker
I got my new Galaxy S5 fro Metro PCS and everything works fine, but when I open Facebook and try to double tap on a picture to Zoom or pinch to zoom, the magnification is little, nothing like my S3, I can zoom into detailes with my S3, but the S5 wont.
Also when using Team Viewer, the screen wont zoom.
Zooming is ok with Whatsapp, Browser, Gallery but Facebook and Team Viewer are not. I reset the phone to factory 3 times and still the same thing. Looked for Options but nothing.

Help please, I might have a bad phone.
 
Have you tried zooming into the same picture with the S3 and with the S5 at the same time? Or different ones/different days?
If you looked at different pictures (or on different days), it is possible that facebook may have compressed the picture to the point where zooming in is not going to have much to zoom into.

Yes I did and the S3 does zoom in a lot more than than the S5. Is this normal on the S5 ?
 
I don't think that is normal. The fact that this problem is occurring only with some apps makes me think that it is app specific. Sorry, I don't have a solution for you.
