It was pronounced to be an rotation lock switch, but it didn't make it into the final product. Don't know why though, for me it would come quite handy sometimes...

Probably because the initial design was to include Gingerbread but now Honeycomb has been chosen which already has a software screen lock

All android versions (at least 2.1+, not sure about earlier versions) have software screenlock in settings-> display. But a hardware button is more universal to use, no matter whats on your screen right now.

+1.. tap the time in honeycomb, and then Settings on the little tray pop-up. one of the options in the bigger list is to lock the screen orientation

I found these pictures on kmart's transformer page . Look how weird this one is .

[Q] Camera Problem - Stripes With Colors

I bought this device recently and noticed that when taking pictures with applications i get distorted pictures with stripes. But when using built-in application for taking pictures, everything is normal.
Please take a look at picture below:

Nice curtains!....where did you get them??
Afraid that this doesn't happen to me, what do you mean by "taking pictures with applications?" I only use the camera application.

Smart Measure and Little Photo are applications i used so far and found same problem in both. Something tells me other applications will be no different.

Have the same problem sometimes... like in that program that makes the people fat

Open your camera app, go into settings, and turn off wide screen picture aspect ratio. Exit camera app.
Now when you use other applications does it still do this?

Tried that, tried turning features off, changing ISO etc. but all this did nothing.

Same problem here. Some other camera apps work though.

Have you tried booting in safe mode and seeing if there is any difference?

lol. Sorry couldn't resist! Not sure what you mean by safe mode. Do you mean recovery?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA Premium App

yep same here! When using the FatBooth App i get the curtains. But when using the standard photo app it's all ok. Also tried a lower resolution and the widescreen off, no difference...

Safe Mode did not help, will wait for HTC's response. Also there was one picture that looked normal when i was browsing gallery, but when i tapped on it to view it in full screen the "curtains effect" appeared. Weird...

Colors seem washed out, unsaturated

Anybody else have the colors look a little washed out? I tried vivid and standard colors, but barely see a difference between the two. Maybe my S5 has just spoiled me.

The OPO does not use a Super AMOLED device so colors seem different, blacks are more grays. You can adjust it accordingly by using the custom presetting
Try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54321008&postcount=6
Adjust the settings around till you get it the way you want it.

The S5 is oversaturated, that's probably why this display seems washed out to you, it's a more natural colour balance.

I had the worst problem coming from a note 2 to a nexus 5. I put the nexus and the opo next to each other tonight and the displays look the same. Is just how a IPS display is.

Try these settings. Looks pretty close to my GS5.

When I have my brightness maxed out and the option to increase brightness in sunlight turned on I see this as well.

It's because most displays these days exceed the sRGB color space, and Android doesn't use color spaces, so colors are generally mapped to the full gamut of the phones' displays instead of trying to match sRGB. The OPO's color is actually VERY accurate compared to most phones out there (a major reason why I got it vs the Sony Z3). Just needs to warm up the white balance a bit.

Blank space at bottom of wallpaper in portrait mode

No matter what wallpaper I select for my P900 I get a blank area in the bottom part of the screen. This occurs with Nova Launcher and TouchWiz. Does anybody have any ideas? Thanks

Can you post the screenshot of your problem ? Home + Power buttons will take the screenshot.

You can verify this problem by connecting. To TV via HDMI adapter or screen mirroring . If the display is fine on TV, the problem may be from LCD. Try to reconnect LCD cable to see if it fixes the problem

Did you try a different wallpaper? (Not a different image, a different app). Like for instance the wallpaper module from Quickpic? Or a live wallpaper?

Live wallpapers seem to be fine. I tried several 1920x1200 jpg files but they all have the same problem in portrait.

I see your problem and it's normal. Picture is best fit in landscape position, you can not force it fit in portrait without distortion.
That's why you have blank space as your tablet adjust picture to fit the screen when you rotate position.
It's the same like your 4X6 picture taken in portrait mode, used as wall paper. You will see blank space in landscape mode as the picture can not fit to the entire screen.

Well, there's your problem right there. The screen resolution for this device is 2560x1600. You're missing 660x400 pixels.

I just checked with my PC the size of the jpg file I'm using as wallpaper in the attached screenshot & it's 4128x3096 so the blank space issue doesn't seem to be related to the size of the file.

On further checking this fault is present with all stock wallpapers on my tablet apart from the live wallpapers which are fine.
Sent from my SM-P900 using Tapatalk

Problem solved. With TouchWiz launcher you need to adjust the cropping of the wallpaper and it fills the screen in landscape and portrait. With Nova Launcher there is no crop setting but the way round it is to choose the wallpaper when you are already in portrait mode.

as you can see i manged to get the second screen work with the main screen as one big screen using these tow apps
control screen rotation
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ahapps.controlthescreenorientation&hl=en_US
and
screen shift
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sagar.screenshift2
simply you have to use (control screen rotation) so you can rotate the screen by 180 degree and open screen shift and apply this sittings
you can make a profile using screen shift app so you only get the full screen while using a specific app
the only problem with this method is the touch screen get shifted up-word so its not accrued
but you can watch movies using netflix or any media player

niceeee

That's really nice, but you forgot to specify that you need root to get this working

I found out about another way of accessing the "full screen". If you enable the 3 tap zoom in the settings and tap the screen 3 times, then it will go into full screen and you can actually see that we don't have two screens but only one.

Wonder what the code says for this operation and if it could be used to merge the two screens permanently???

Yeah we need to wait for a Dev to see this and try it out
Furthermore, I was wondering about the marketing of this phone. I recall that it's been advertised as a phone with 2 screen's. Now, this obviously does not have 2 screens but more of a "notch". Does that make it false advertising??
I honestly feel kinda cheated by HTC. This also makes creating custom ROMs so much more complicated as it's not a second screen that Devs can just leave out, but a notch with a rather weird placement, that has to be implemented somehow.

If we do get official pie update from HTC, then I believe that has support for notches built in, so perhaps this may not be as big a problem as we think!?
