As those who have mirrored their Transformer's screen before over HDMI, you all know the bottom 80 pixels of the 1280x800 resolution screen are cut off. In landscape, this is as ideal as it gets to display 720p video and avoid the software buttons.
In portrait mode it's a different story though. You're now cutting off 80 pixels of game/app on the left side and displaying your buttons/status bar. Is there a way I can change the screens resolution (not LCD density) so applications that only run in portrait will respect the 80 missing pixels? Or make my tablet output 1280x800 so I'm not missing anything on screen?
Alternatively, is there a way to force these apps to be landscape? The majority of these apps in question actually play in Landscape, but set the screen to portrait for some reason. Thanks for any suggestions.
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

Hi everyone,
I've recently bought a Oneplus 7 Pro and to my shame I did not read beforehand that it does not have a notification LED.
I've also seen that the pulsating lines on the sides of the screen only appear when Ambient Display is on.
Sadly I am not a fan of Ambient Display and also do not want my phone lighting up each time I get a notification, I prefer it to remain more subtle
Does anyone know if there is any App that would trigger those lines for notifications but without requiring Ambient Display? (maybe running without it as an accessibility service and thus having permissions also on the lockscreen?)
Thank you!
