Hi,
I have just tried a Xoom in a shop. At the bottom and the top of the screen there were status bars. Is it possible to move these bars to the side of the screen or hide them fully? They take a lot of screen area mainly in landscape position. Web browsing does not look comfortable with this screen setup.
No, you cannot hide the status bar in Honeycomb (and neither in ICS iirc) per default: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=15408
There are apps for that though: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.hanhuy.android.hsbm
This app will not work on ICS
BTW what are the benefits of Honeycomb and ICS over older Android releases? Effective usage of widescreen is not...
The Xoom does run completely in widescreen - it has a 16:10 display, like most laptops, that bottom portion is "extra" space for the status bar, just like on a "Windows" laptop, that bottom space is used to display on-screen controls when watching a movie, etc., so that the actual movies and such are displayed in true 16:9 without any distortion. All "real" Android tablets are like this.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
My problem is with web browsing and/or text reading. The status bars leave only a narrow but unnecceassary long bar for reading. Ipad has 4:3 screen without bottom status bar. Much more natural.
Why can not be moved the status bar to the left or right side of the screen like taskbar in windows?
Why not run in portrait mode if needing to scroll much

Is anyone having display issues with the bottom 3 pixel rows?
It's not entirely annoying.
The whole display is shifted up 3 pixels. (not the physical display)
The 3 rows of pixels on the bottom stretch out the image.
You can see what I mean if you use the ChargerBar application.
By sending the bar to the bottom 1px in height, the bar is stretched out by 3px.
Then send the bar up to the top and it disappears.
You would have to increase the height of the bar by 3px.
Here's a video of the issue.

Keyboard on my s6 edg is burned in, is there any way to try to fix it.
Can I use AMOLED Burn-in fixer, or it is only for status and navigation bar?
Hello, I have a Galaxy S7 930F and I would like to know how I can add the screen capture icon and another to record the screen to the notification bar, I saw in customrom that they have it but I do not know how to add them. The Samsung Galaxy S7 Exynos I have it updated to Oreo. Thank you!
On my s10e, the edge notification works but only does 1 round of the screen and then stops. Ho do I can get edge notification to continue glowing until I unlock the phone?
I think i saw an app in on the play store called always edge or something like that
