Is there a video player that will play full screen without showing the status bar on the buttom? Both rock player and vital player do not hide the status bar.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
i use mobo player, and have the same issue.
I'm wondering the same thing. The stock video player hides the navigation buttons and puts tiny dark dots in place of them and hides the clock, but the bar is still there. I assume there is probably a way to do the same in a 3rd party app if it is programmed correctly for honeycomb. Still, it would be nice if there was a way to hide it all together, and then show it if you touch the screen in video player mode.
Most of the movies I watch can't be played by the stock player.

has anyone tried Pandora KM Player?
If you play the video through MyNet the staus bar will disappear and display 4 small faint dots, hardly noticeable. Also on the bottom left of the player there is a light glow which I thought was light bleed but on closer inspection seems to be part of the player background.
It's impossible (and will likely remain so) to fully hide the system bar in Honeycomb since you'd be stranded in the current app without it*. Developers can use setSystemUiVisibility() to "dim" it, but totally removing it is impossible.
*Less vital (and a bit of a derail), you'd also open up a security risk by being able to hide the bar. A malicious app could go full-screen, spoof the system bar, and trick the user into going "back" into a fake browser or such, at which point they'd steal their passwords. This is the same reason Flash shows an "Esc to exit full screen" on the desktop.

Iirc the 3.1 software will allow more flexibility over the status bar behavior, here's hoping. It is problematic that the navigation buttons are in the system bar though, lets hope they can get something workable as that bar effectively makes the 800 pixels not so 800.

The real question is: Why do people have 16:10 videos? Because unless you are bothered by 3 small dots on the black part of the video, why does it matter?

During the UI talk at IO an attendee asked if there was any way to get rid of the status bar. The reply was a hard no.

That really sucks. I hope it gets sorted soon its really annoying especially when trying to use the transformer to show off pics, it just looks shoddy with the system bar at the bottom.

I agree. Maybe an auto hide taskbar like in windows?
I dont know why it really bugs some of you. It doesnt really bother me, when it dims the buttons it isn't even noticeable.

As others have mentioned, the problem is that it takes up valuable screen real estate (~7.5%)
The reason to want it gone/hidden is simple.
Display =16:9
if Movie=16:9 then
simple math.
Yeah, but the display is 16:10, not 16:9.

And what about everyting else? PDFs, comics, photos (most are 4:3 or 3:2). They should have left one physical button for showing/hiding the bar. The way it is now - it sucks. I don't mind in only in portrait mode because there is enough space on the bottom then anyway.

They specifically mentioned "Lights Out" mode which allows you to hide the icons which turns the ones on the bottom left into glowing dots (as seen in gallery view). I understand that this still does not allow you to truly use 800 vertical pixels, but it is an improvement and it is a change related to the system bar.
Here is the video:

I took hold of my transformer yesterday and love every aspect of it bar one.
The one issue that means I'm probably going to send it back is the Honeycombs inability to hide the system bar.
I really only purchased the tablet to use as a portfolio device (I'm a photographer). I wanted to take advantage of the high resolution screen to show off my images at 1280x800 but the system bar sits on top of everything totally ruining the look of images/video. Not being able to hide the system bar is a huge oversight by the Honeycomb developers and sadly probably means I'm going to have to switch to a bloody I-pad 2, which I would prefer not to do.
Does anybody know of any tricks to hide the system bar?
I dont have my transformer/honeycomb yet but when i look at images/videos on my xperia mini pro using the gallery app they are full screen.
You can try using LauncherPro because it has a 'hide notification bar' setting in the preferences. Not sure if it just works for the homescreen or all apps.

There are apps that let you force full screen mode.
Also I use it for showing my portfolio and the default gallery fades the icons. Besides I can tell you showing your portfolio on this generally is not a good idea, unless its just a quick show, don't ever use it for interviews.

I've seen the hiding of the icons but it still leaves a large black bar across the bottom of the screen. The images need to fill the screen.
Why is it not a good idea to use this as a portfolio apart from the system bar problem?
Also I've tried a few other launchers ADW and Launcher pro neither of them can hide the system bar.

It's good for a quick show at lets say a get together, but for an interview or client the screen really isn't big enough to see the details for most people. Maybe you can because you're used to it, but other people tend to have trouble with it.

haven't looked at specific gallery apps that do it but I know a few other apps I use that can do it.
EDIT: The use of the tablet for portfolio needs is from experience by the way an instance where I did find it useful if I went to some launch party or similar to show it to people or when I'm touching base with clients to give them a rough idea of what it will look like (wireframes and such), I do photography and graphic design by the way.
Sadly I think I am going to have to accept defeat on this.
I'm sure someone will create a launcher that can hide the System bar in the future but I don't want to wait around for that to happen.
I'ts such a shame as otherwise it's a lovely tablet but with the system bar in the way the images will only ever be 1280 x 700 with a black line across the bottom.
I can not find any apps that force full screen they all leave the system bar in place.
Quick Pic was brilliant in fullscreen in Android 2.2 but Honeycomb has rendered it less effective.

The 3.1 SDK was just announced and provides developers with control of the visibility system items such as the bar. I suspect in a few weeks this will no longer be an issue.

In the end it's more do you want android or iOS.
I do however own an iPad 2 and I gotta say the transformers screen is equal in quality, and has an edge over the iPad even with the black bar due to resolution and size.
I'm having issues with the system bar too. I'm trying to create a PDF brochure/demo but the 50px bar ***** up the full zoom mode as the PDF pages are 1280x800.
I'm using ezPDF - does anyone know an alternative which can force full screen mode and hide the system bar?
never ceases to amaze me what people whine about
Just because it doesn't matter to you doesn't make it unimportant.

true, however, returning a device that is 3 weeks old, with brand new firmware, because 50pixels worth of the screen is displayed when you are demo-ing photos is a tad ridiculous. Demoing hi-res photography on 1280x800 10'' screen is already ridiculous, but i digress. How much extra detail is the client really going to experience from 50 pixels worth... come on now, its just plain ol' *****ing. And the smooth reference of 'well the ipad2 doesn't do that' rubbed me the wrong way. Ipad2 is a great device, maybe the OP should return his TF and get the ipad2
I bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab recently and was seriously bummed out to see the retarded behavior of the photo gallery.
The built-in gallery works right on my Samsung Android phone. And it hits all the right notes on my Galaxy Tab 7" as well. Just as it did on my ipad.
Honeycomb gallery is extremely dumb. It just makes me mad every time I have to use it.
I guess I'll have to just write my own. Watch for it on Android Market in a few weeks. I might as well start taking feature requests and name suggestions for the app.

Yes usb or I can send you a copy of my save with me on the second Island, some guns and some money. Currently that is what I can do.
EyeRelax is a quick and easy way to keep your eyes healthy. Taking a break every so often while using your phone is important and can help prevent eye strain, and EyeRelax lets you do just that. Specify how long you want your breaks to be, and how far apart they are, hit the start button, and EyeRelax will give you a heads up when it's time to take a break. If you want to take an early break, just shut off your screen and it will be automatically recognized by EyeRelax. A progress bar runs discreetly in your notifications for a convenient way to check how long you have. EyeRelax runs quietly in the background, allowing you to get your work done until it's time to rest your eyes.

Someone needs to create an app like this for Xposed!
Looks great! How does it warn you when you're near the 30 minute mark? Will it be possible to play a sound when the timer is at 30 minutes / just before it goes off?

The app will vibrate and post a notification 30 seconds before break and show the dialog when it's time for a break.
I've a suggestion for a future build... A "computer" option, where the timer can run in the background, and then give a notification after 30 minutes, then again after the 30-second break. (Or whatever time values one might change it to). For those of us that spend lengthy amounts of time staring at a large computer screen.
This app has potential, keep up the good work.
looks good, thanks for sharing

Is it available for android 2.3.6??

This, I actually thought I would want it for this then arrived to see it was for using mobile device. Handy for many but myself I don't spend that much continuous time staring at phone, usually gets broken up with breaks cause I am mobile while using it thus forced breaks. Computer is a problem for long stretches no breaks here though.
Now thats very useful app. :good:

bubble cloud supports icon sets so you could choose to use apple's icons if you could find the icon set. Anyhow, do the icons resize themselves based on usage or are they static?
