One of the best features of KitKat is the immersive mode.. Where the navigation bar and notifications bar are hidden when not needed.. Like watching videos or playing games or reading pdf etc.....
Well it's working on my phone in watching videos only.. It hides nav bar and notifications bar.. But in games and pdfs it only hides notifications bar and keeps the nav bar.. My question is.. Is that normal, or it's a bug or something?

Hi,
Not all apps support immersive mode .
If I'm not wrong ezPDF Reader supports immersive mode for PDF reading and Dead Trigger 2 is a game that supports it, my update still didn't arrive so I can't test in my Z1, but on my Nexus 10 those two have immersive mode working .

Hello all,
When I view Html5 videos from browsers (Dolphin, Boat) in the landscape mode, the video control bar and the menu bar bounce up and down. It is very annoying. It happens because the video control bar is about to hide and it makes the menu bar pop up. So, both bars hide and popup alternately. Please advice.
Yes its irritating. I use a ROM with expanded desktop function with power button. Not a real solution' but a workaround.

I want to add that this problem happens when setting the user agent as iPhone or iPad on the browsers.

It works fine but the usual stuff about keyboard and what not. I could see it being quite good in pro mode if you select apps that don't really require a keyboard only. I don't think it's worth using for me as I use my phone to write things, so having to many all make the keyboard appear is not worth the effort. Works fine though

I didnt get your point bro..keyboard???
I installed on one of my frends xperia z3...it freezes after some time and then no buttons are available.sometimes buttons are available but didnt work.ultimately I have to reboot the device..any issues with anyone??
I use "all in one gestures" to hide the nav bar. I've set it up like this: swipe up from the bottom right or left corner enables/disables immersive mode. That is the most efficient way to quickly hide the nav bar or bring it back when you need the keyboard that I've found. Does not require root!
It's also possible to use other gestures of course. Does not replace GMD gesture control (which requires root), but it's something!

Yes. You select gesture and set it to activate Fullscreen. When you perform the gesture you enter immersive mode. It's nice because you can quickly disable it when you need the keyboard.
I have noticed some apps the nav bar disappears amd I have a full screen viewing experience. Others do not. Is there any way to force other apps to run with a hidden nav bar without rooting?

Yes it does indeed hide the nav bar on the programs you want it to but it has many undesired side effects. Mainly, not being able to call up the keyboard when needed after clicking a text entry point. You have to swipe up to expose the Nav bar and then it will show. Also, some games won't even launch unless you first swipe up the nav bar to launch game. Also if you are using a custom launcher, and you use a dock with a folder editor program, the shortcuts will not appear until you swipe up the nav bar. Some programs like Pandora and Maps do not display correctly and will be distorted until you expose the Nav bar. I have had the Pro version for months and the developer has not offered any update to it at all, so buyer beware. Cheap enough not to be to upset but it's not a perfect solution.
Hello
I've got a rooted SM-T715 and I'm trying to find a solution how to either change the colour of the statusbar or completely hide it because I've had screen burn-in on all my AMOLED devices so far (Galaxy S2, Galaxy Note 1, Galaxy Note 2) and the place where it shows the most is always the statusbar. Since the statusbar is often black it doesn't wear as much as the rest of the screen and after a year or so that area will be brighter than the rest of the screen and is visible when you use it in landscape mode.

Use a 3rd party launcher that allows you to hide the status bar.

Thanks, but I believe that will only hide the status bar while on the "desktop". Once you start up an app like Facebook for instance the black status bar will be there again.

Since the display is 16:10, you are unlikely to notice any screen burn in as most videos will letterbox at the top. Most of the time that status bar is always visible in all apps, and the ones that hide it are usually videos which mostly are 16:9.

I have two apps that can hide the status bar. Nova launcher only hides the status bar on the home screen as you said but GMD Gesture Control has an auto hide action which works on all screens. I use GMD for immersion mode plus many other gestures plus launcher pop-ups which also work no matter which app is displaying.

Thank you Sammy... this was EXACTLY what I was looking for!!
I purchased GMD Gesture Control and now with a simple gesture inside any app I can toggle the statusbar on/off.
Thanks again Sammy... you made my day! :good:

If you don't mind messing with ADB, there are a few apps on play store.
Granular Immersive Mode - Apps on Google Play
Immersive mode the way you like it. For the apps you want it.
play.google.com
System UI tuner I think is better. He was in the LG V30 forums and is highly respected.
I like my 3 button navbar but like to hide it in certain apps. Haven't gotten around to it yet.
