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.
Hi
As the title says, I sold my iPhone X and got the new Pixel 2 XL, and I love it. It is truly amazing. But how ever.. There is some features that I miss. - Sinces android is like an open world compared to Apple I do hope some of you might know how to solve my "problems"
Here they are:
1. Are you able to get rid on the Navigations bar at the bottom AND get the iPhone swipe gestue? Left for back, Right for forward and Up for homescreen, and while on homescreen up will go into the menu (where all my apps are listed)? And also while the keybord still working perfectly in every app when the Navigation bar is hidden? Is that possible? With my iPhone X I could switch between apps while draggin left of right on the bottom at my screen, and also if i swipe up and hold a bit, all my open apps where listed. Is that possible to get on Pixel 2?
2. I've heard alot about burn in. At the moment I am using an Live wallpaper default by Google. (The earth spinning around). Its black - does that have any effect on burn in, or is it only white colour I have to be careful of?
3. On my iPhone I could see my notifications on my apps. (A lille red number), my Pixel 2 doesnt show this, am I able to see that? For Facebook, messenger ect.
This is my first android, so bar with me and my stupidly questions lol
Thanks for your time

For me, it's kind of hard to understand exactly what you are talking about since I don't use my iPhone that often. But I'll play around to see if I can answer #1. But burn in I wouldn't worry about unless you get it. Then return the phone for a free replacement if it happens. I think that issue has been resolved for the most part. That you might want to visit the XL forum for and I'll link that for you below.
#3. I believe they are called "badges" on the iPhone. It is a very nice feature which we don't have on a stock system. I think there are some third party apps in the play store for that but you can search under notify apps or something like that. Maybe even Google can help out on that. I did see some references to it and there is something called Nofityer Unread Count app but I've not tried it.
Here ya go, but do a search on screen burn in before you ask. People get a little touchy around here sometimes if it's been answered dozens of times.

1. If you root your phone, there are ways to remove the navbars... and if you use a custom launcher (such as Nova Launcher), you can set gestures on the home screen. As for systemwide gestures... you would need a gesture app such as https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.phoenixstudios.aiogestures&hl=en
Perhaps ask around here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/70jkag/android_launcher_with_iphone_x_like_gestures/
2. Personally never had an issue although I am using Pixel 2.
3. If you use Nova Launcher.. there is the option to show "Notification Badges" with 3 options -- Dynamic Badges (generated badge icons from your notification content), Dots (which shows a dot on the icon in the corner), and Numeric Badges (which shows the unread count of notifications for the app on the icon -- requires TeslaUnread addition)
Quoting a post I found on another forum:
If you display static content on it for an extended period of time like on a store unit or on-screen buttons, then it will burn-in. Not quite as quickly as some have stated, and certainly not as quickly now compared to older OLED panels, but it's still an issue. For instance, the Galaxy S6 edge store units I've seen have suffered from pretty bad burn-in after a year of service, as they're powered on for almost the entire day at maximum brightness without the screen going to sleep. That's an extremely high-wear situation and a phone won't go through that sort of usage pattern (screen on 24/7 at max brightness) in the hands of consumers, maybe even for its lifetime.
Which brings me to this. Consumer units will suffer much less drastically compared to store units. They'll last for years with normal usage, though exceptions such as some Nexus devices with OLED panels exist. In most cases, however, you should be fine. I still have a 4 year old Galaxy S3 with the original display and it hasn't burned-in yet. Very impressive.

Personally I've had a Samsung Galaxy S (the original one), S4, S5, S6, S7 Edge in the past, and none of these devices suffered from screen "burn in". My Pixel 2 is supposed to arrive tomorrow and I'm not gonna worry about the screen burn in issue. I think people are being way too paranoid about this.
We might want to wait for the OP to respond. Could be some trolling going on here.

The xl communities has found immersion mode hacks so he is best to ask there to see those ways of removing the navbar. It's not really discussed in this forum.

Best you can do with stock firmware is dots rather than numbers. Try Settings | Apps & Notifications | Notifications | Allow notification dots

You mean the best you can do with stock apps, not firmware. Third party launchers such as Nova can give you numbers without any need to root.
The notification badges on iOS are just a bandaid solution to their compete lack of notifications in the status bar. On Android, no matter which app you have open, you can always see if you have a notification waiting for you without swiping down from the status bar or going to the home screen to scan for badges.
My best advice to the OP is to avoid making your Pixel look and act like an iPhone. You're only holding yourself back from all the awesomeness that Android has to offer.

Except the Pixel 2 suffers burn in on the navigation bar as well... try a grey background or white or dark blue, you'll see it. I have 2 Pixel 2's and a 2XL in the family and they all suffer burn in of differing degrees

Not seeing that on the Pixel 2 with a white background. Is it severe enough to be annoying or distracting to you?

Hi,
Am i the only one that is having issues/problem in watching stories on Instagram? They're too large/big for the screen. It seems a Instagram bug but it's really annoying..
Anyone else?
Me too
i've the same problem...maybe dipend in screen ratio?
Yepp, Instagram has to publish an update
Yup! Its freakin irritating.
Are you guys in notch AND fullscreen mode. or just notch no fullscreen, or notchless? Or does it not matter, and problem exists in all 3 scenarios?
IG stories works fine for me?
Sent from my ONEPLUS A6003 using Tapatalk
For me when I open an Instagram story, after the opening animation, I can see it slightly getting cropped
If the problem is that the stories are cropped by the notch go to display, full screen mode and scroll down to Whatsapp. For whatever reason Whatsapp is set automatically in full screen mode, if you select default no more cropping.

i have the same problem.
looks like IG is just overstretched off the screen.
Also the stretch seems like happening at the sides not at the top were the notch is.
Any solution for this?
same problem for me, also with Samsung S8 before Oneplus 6
Has there be any update on this?
It's like IG is upscaled and stretched to fit in the screen. However, parts of it are outside of the screen.
It's working for me..
But I noticed when I share stories in Instagram, the picture clarity is becoming low.. idk why..
tried uploading stories using both insta camera and op camera.. it's same.. camera clarity is becoming worse..
Anyone else having the same issue.?
Ig still doesn't support 19:9 phtots that's the reason the 16:9 stories of your friends look unscaled and vice versa. If you want your stories to appear perfect take pictures in 16:9 ratio thru the google camera or any other 3rd party app.
Guys we have to report that as much as we can (count wise), instead of discussing it here u can report the issue directly in the play store, the problem with oneplus is the number of selleings is not as much as the other gaints, means developers will care less about us, let ur voice be heard
Fixed for Honor 10

Hide Notch and use navigation bar instead of screen.
my vid how i did it.
Using the navigation bar instead of gestures fixes it.
Same here. Oneplus 6 screen ratio is too narrow than the other phones, so the sides get cropped from others stories. Also in other phones the top and bottom portions get cropped of my stories

That's not a solution, it's a workaround.
Use navigation bar and what display size?
I have this problem too. Nothing is fixing it.
It seems that google pixel 3 xl have a developer option for it, i wonder if we can see this kind of option in the future for all phones, it would be great, in fact it would fix the notification issues that its currently the mi8 and the poco f1 have because of the notch.
https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/10/10/can-turn-off-pixel-3-xl-notch-developer-options/
Notifications are already being looked at.
Yes, I m also thinking that, poco have very wide notch, even with notification icons beside notch is clumsy..
It would be nice if we can completely disable notch area and show notification under notch.
You can actually already disable the notch on Poco F1 by going to Settings - Full Screen Display - Hide Notch.

the notch implementation by xiaomi its just not good enough, the notification its not working well, and to be honest i rather have the whole extra mm screen disable completely and have that bezel but i can have back all notifications and normal status bar

You should post this on miui forum or tweet to jai mani. Its actually a nice idea. Plus our notch is not giant like pixel 3xl, so it won't be a problem if we disable that part completely!

Hi to all.
Happy with my Fold 2. Would be extremely happy if I could make one mod without root:
If apps (and UI if possible) would behave as if though there was no punch hole!
I'm not talking about the setting to change the aspect ratio of an app.
Some apps don't work properly even if you do that.
Any way to just make the phone work like it had no camera at all at the front (of the big screen)?
Please keep in mind that a)I'm not a programmer , just a user
and b)I don't want to root my device.
Thanks in advance

This is what you want, very easy to enable. The video shows the Note 20 Ultra but it also goes for the Z Fold 2.

Thanks for your reply my friend but that's exactly what I want to avoid in the first place.
I want all apps and ui to use Full Screen without a black bar.
In other words all apps to use all the screen real estate like there is no camera there. Most games and apps do that but not all and browser also leaves that part blank when in landscape mode.
I know it can be done but I don't know how

You can download multistar together with tasker and autotools. Should give you the desired result without the needs of root.
