Does anyone have the issue where landscape mode zooms in too much? It happens in games, YouTube on chrome, and in the YouTube app sometimes. Any fix for this?
Edit: the fix for the YouTube app is to pinch inwards to view original instead of fill, but that doesn't help with games or videos in chrome
Are you using guesters?
I have had this issue with Facebook lite in messages I had to tap reply further up to fix it
It is odd that this is the first time noticimg this maybe because q was built more for guestures control I noticed it after turning off guesters and moving back to the soft buttons the guestures was too unreliable even on the lowest sensitivity.

I am using gesture navigation. Turning it off doesn't fix YouTube's fill on chrome. But it does seem to fix it in one of my games. I honestly prefer gesture navigation though.

Is there any way to set which way is landscape for apps that force landscape? I like to use headphones when I'm playing games on it. Games like GTA3 and bards tale force landscape so that the headphone jack is on the lower left, in just the perfect spot to be right in the way of my left hand.
It bugs me enough that I often wind up playing with no sound.

in the settings menu - Display - Rotation - pick the degrees of rotation that you want to allow.
This only partially works. I have all four rotation options enabled, but certain apps that force landscape, force 90 (Sketchbook is one). I know I had tried flipping it over on GTA3 once previously, and it didn't work, but I tried it this morning, and it worked. That was on AOKP, and this morning was CM9.
Sketchbook still forces 90 and won't work in 270.

Hi all, I've had this tablet for about 2 weeks now. Before I received it, I assumed that I would set up my home screens for landscape mode and go Tablet UI right away. But as time goes by I find myself using portrait mode a lot more, whether or not it be setting up my launcher or using apps (with the exception of watching videos, of course).
What do you prefer?

I use portrait mode for most thing but web browsing and videos. Its real nice having the option

Portrait is so much easier to type and see text with since there's more text listed than landscape. I also find it LOADS easier to type with my thumbs in portrait mode.
I'm finding the typing a lot easier as well with two thumbs and the ability to swipe as well.
I use landscape for videos, portrait for everything else
Portrait for almost everything except YouTube.
I am 50-50 so far. I like landscape for web surfing and videos, portrait for reading and replying to messages. I should find an alternative keyboard to make thumb typing a little easier.

Get on the SwiftKey Flow beta. It's great on this device in either mode. Just change it to separate thumb mode while in landscape.
I'm about 50 50. I like using landscape and with the 4.2 keyboard it's pretty easy to type... for me

With my iPad I use portrait all the time probably because its big and heavy but with my nexus 7 I use landscape for almost every thing. I think because its pretty small and I feel I get more on the screen that way, plus I get to see all of the wallpaper on my home screen too

Landscape 99% of the time here... I could never find any advantages of using it in portrait - folks say that it's easier to type, but the keyboard is much smaller in portrait mode, which makes it harder to type in my opinion (much easier to hit the wrong key by accident).
Very interesting that it seems most folks prefer portrait.
Of course my case caters to landscape mode too, so that may play a big part as to why I use landscape mode most of the time...

the problem in landscape mode is the navigation bar that the bar is always on front.
That reduces the screen and make it too small.
I would like to have the choice to put the navigation bar at the side in landscape mode.
Does it possible ?
I find in landscape you can't see much, when the keyboard pops up it takes most of the screen and is so hard to view and type at the same time.

I usually use apex (sometimes nova) launcher, when you keep it in landscape (or portrait) only, you can maximize the area available. But then youre not able to use the other way ...

the problem with apex is the portrait / lanscape compatibily.
you can have a big desktop on landscape but the icons will disappears when switching to the portrait mode.
That's very annoyoing and this fix should be a basic feature !!

Is there any launcher capable of having icons arranged differently in portrait and landscape modes?
90% portrait
Both

True, but N7 screen width in portrait mode is same size as ~4" phone landscape.
In landscape, I can't type comfortably, because I guess I have quite short fingers and my thumbs can't reach the keys in the middle of the screen.
I use it mostly in portrait (my homescreen is arranged for portrait), I also browse in portrait mostly, because of exact thing Apple was bashing N7 on their iPad mini release (those extra pixels on iPad mini) - there's too much stuff on top and bottom, making visual area small (in chrome you can't hide address bar, like on stock phone ICS browser (it hides automatically when you scroll down the web site).
I find it more comfortable to hold in portrait, and it's easier to read stuff too (books are portrait after all).
I use landscape for videos and games (and stupid new skype).

Both ways but I guess its in Portrait most often.
I've been noticing it showing up everytime I use Netflix. It's a vertical line on portrait mode. Only fix is reboot the device. Anybody having the same problem? Thanks!

I've once seen a vertical line in landscape mode, not in portrait. I terminated the app and it was fine after. I think it's related to the bigger graphical glitche where half the screen freezes. On mine actually, that line was cut out and then displayed somewhere else on the screen, on another line.

You're right, it's in landscape mode. Anyways it doesn't really shows a lot. Thanks!

Also experiencing pixel line
I think it's something to do with Netflix as well. No other apps, and restarting works. Killing the app by swiping it out of recent apps does not work.
Can't see a pixel line on mine in any app. Running stock rooted themed with minimal mods.
Try watching a YouTube video or use Google maps with picture in picture enabled then try to change apps via recents button or tapping a notification. For me on the US unlocked Note 9 whenever I do this it reduces to picture in picture but goes to the home screen instead of switching to whatever app selected from recents or notification. If I turn off PIP in the app settings it behaves normally. And the Note 8 does not do this for me. Anyone else getting this result?

I just tried it with YouTube. It worked just fine for me. I'm on the N960F (Exynos) though. But at least I can confirm it doesn't appear to be ALL Note 9 devices. Perhaps it's a Snapdragon issue, or something that's just impacting U.S. models (for some reason). Or maybe it's just your phone. [emoji53]

Interesting find, unsure if it's just a bug or a screen issue.
When I have done uniformity tests everything is fine, however today I have noticed that when I used Huawei Video, the background where you can select video's from. There was different shades throughout the screen, but once I pulled down the notification draw and swiped it away the screen went back to one natural shade. This keeps happening, but I've only noticed it with this video application.

Right one is after restarting the application.
(That's not a green line down the left it's just the way that the photo is taken)

Does the same in youtube dark mode when scrolling through the comments. Most likely a bug with the display driver that isn't properly rendering greyish colours.
I'll check YouTube, I use vanced which doesn't seem to have any issues.

Yeah I think vanced dark mode is pure black while stock youtube is grey.
I have the Dark Theme on Vanced which is the same as the official YouTube. Both are ok, have no issues. Google messages and Zetatorrents are Dark with no issues.
Just seems to be the Huawei Video which is mainly after you have started a video.

Try open YouTube, play a video. Watch it full screen landscape mode for a few seconds. Then rotate back to portrait then scroll to comments. The effect then sometimes shows itself. It's a bit hit and miss which is why I think it's a driver problem and not the actual display.

Yes down the right side in both apps has a lighter gradient.

I removed the Power genius application from the system using adb shell pm uninstall--user 0 com.huawei.powergenie
Now I don't have any problems with the screen having any gradients of the background colour. This seems to have fixed the issue. As well as the screen dimming in manual brightness mode.
