How can i change screen resolution only in height? - General Questions and Answers

Hello, I have Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ which the sensor at the bottom does not work. (Picture for example). I wonder if it is possible to change the resolution only in height? I tried to change the resolution via adb and change it up and down and I just want the lower part to go up and the upper part to stay the same.
Phone is not rooted.

[Q] How do you deal with Portrait HDMI Mirroring?

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.

[Q] Prepping Android stick for car

Hi
I'm in the process of installing a Android-stick in my car by HDMI to display on the original 7" screen and controlled with a touch-plate overlay.
That part is done and its working, but with such a low res screen (800x480 native) with stick running 720p the menus and text become unreadable even in "huge" mode. This i was able to more or less fix by using an app "Resolution Changer" which allows for changing resolution and DPI.
Problem is that icons will start to overlap/cut eachother if tweaked too muuch and app names disappear, also the standard android menu and statusbar remains tiny.
My biggest problem now, after trying a different launcher, this one with a "windows 8" kind of layout, all icons are on top of eachother and I cant switch launcher back or find the icon for settings or Resolution Changer.
Hope anyone have tips on how to solve it other than reflashing, well, Its not a biggie, but would prefer not to.

Why my camera screen isn't covering whole screen?

The screenshot is in the attachment. I am on D80020y and just rooted my phone and used textdroider to change the DPI to 400. Is that causing this?

grey lines at top of the screen with pure black wallpaper

So recently i started to notice that in my home screen (touchwiz or other launchers) at the top of the screen there is some grey lines it is best visible if i use a black wallpaper and set the brightness to the maximum. This doesn't show anywhere except on the home screen. I tried other wallpapers, and if i look at it in the gallery or turn on ultra power saving mode there is no grey lines.(my device is galaxy s6)
Does anyone know what it is? Or how to fix it?
(i hope you guys can understand me sry for my english)
So, if you switch to your pictures and images gallery, the lines disappear?
Did you drop your device on the floor or did it incurred any damages lately?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It's a common issue. It's stupid Touchwiz/Samsung system which creates a small overlay at the top of Homescreens (any launchers) & lockscreens. In gallery etc, it's perfectly black since no overlay.
I don't think there is a fix. U can use a slightly greyish instead of full black wallpaper. It's not a big problem though
Oh i understand. Thank you for help. I was thought my phone has a problem.
Sometimes the grey lines can appear in Samsung mobiles if you use a bad launcher or a theme which is not compatible with the phone. You can try updating to a new version and see if fixes the problem, or use a light gray wallpaper as already suggested. Another couple of things to try... take a screenshot of your phone and test it on your laptop to see if the lines are still there. If not then it could be a problem with the screen itself. It's also worth restarting your phone in Safe Mode as this mode only runs with pre-installed apps. If you don't see the lines then an app could be your culprit
