[sp1a.210812.016.f926u1ues1dvg3] a few months ago both worked. now when i try to dex to my fire-tv or roku i see the butterfly-flower background image with app icons on the top left of the television screen. i used to press the recent apps overlay button and there was a 4th button to use as a trackpad (no more). so i cant run any apps on the t.v.
also smart view no longer mirrors my cellular-telefones screen. when it first connects i see my fone screen/widgets on the t.v. for half a second and then immediately the screen flashes to the butterfly-flower background image (no app icons but a small white dot on the bottom rite). i can cast videos but i cant mirror. i tried opening email app on my fone and selecting app cast but it makes the email app into a smaller window on my fone but no change on the t.v.

There is an app out there called Toddler Lock that my daughter likes to play with. It makes shapes and colors on the screen, but does not respond when the menu, home, back and search buttons are touched. When this app is open, it requires a touch pattern to exit the app. Simply touching each of the 4 screen corners going clockwise exits the app.
Is there a video player that has any kind of feature like this? Is there any standalone app that disables the touch screen with the long press of a softkey or gesture?

Act 1 Video Player (paid app)
It can lock the screen at the press of "L" or TrackBall/TrackPad/OJ
mVideoPlayer also has this feature when you press the camera button it locks the touchscreen and all softkey buttons (except Home).
Unfortunately neither of those will play .avi files. Most of my library is in .avi.
I'll start to convert them to mp4 since they seem to be the more popular forrmat.
So I don't know if anyone knows this or use the tumblr app a lot. But as for those who do use it, you realized that the app is only in portrait mode and no landscape. That bothered me a lot cause it is weird holding the Note 10.1 portrait, but that's just me. Anyways I found out you can actually make the app work in portrait mode with our Multi Window Manager from the app store. Sadly you need to use the pro version to do this. But for those who have the pro version like me you can make an app shortcut via Mult Window and set the app in landscape mode. All you have to do is:
1.) Long press the Home Screen
2.) Go to Shortcuts
3.) Scroll down the the App Multi Window Manager Shortcut
4.) Check on custom size
5.) Set the Length or the first one to 770
6.) The second one should be 1280
7.) Save it
8.) And Voila the Tumblr app is now in landscape mode
------------------------------------------------------------------------
FYI- This works on any other app that only has portrait view like Instagram, only app I could not get to work was the Cnet app.
I am not sure if this is connected, but after doing this once, Tumblr app now starts in ugly mode: half of screen - menu (left side), half of screen - posts, videos...(right side)
Even after deleting MWM
Here's screenshot

Are you holding that in portrait mode? This is meant for landscape.
EDITED:
Sorry! This all happened because of last update
Can we allow users to remove the black bar at the top when playing full screen?
In this way, subtitle can be displayed fully in the widened black bar at the bottom, rather than half in the pictures and half in the black bar.

You can move video upside of the screen.
Check Menu > Display > Settings > Controls > Gestures > Zoom and Pan.
And then you can move video output to any direction by dragging video image with two fingers. (Just like Gallery picture dragging gesture)
Is this possible to move video on the tv box that doesnt have a touchscreen? With a mouse or a keyboard shortcut?

We are already planning to add more controls to TV screen.
Kindly be patient till it's ready to be rolled out.
I have been aware of multitasking by holding down the app manager button, but in the process of playing today with Chrome I realized that if you hold on to the top right edge of the screen just past the options menu and drag down to the center of the screen you will resize the app into a window. I tried this with other multitasking apps and it worked. It's cool too that they get minimized into chat head like circles if you return to the home screen and can have more than 2 running. Just wanted to share this in case that people weren't aware if it.

Recently, after booting from regular or Safe Mode, the phone does not get to the PIN lock screen. Instead there's a rectangular screen in the middle surrounded by black space. That middle screen consists of 3 sets of screens that are accessed by swiping up or down.
One screen set consists of different clocks that can be accessed by swiping right or left of each image.
Another screen consists of a Notifications status screen. There is no left-right swiping for that screen.
Another screen consists of the music player interface that plays tunes via the player controls. There is no left-right swiping for that screen.
A phone call screen pops up when someone calls and we can accept the call and talk.
However, we can't consistently get to the PIN lock screen or the regular phone interface to access apps. We've tried removing the battery and booting in Safe Mode, but none of that makes a difference. However, the lock screen occasionally appears if we keep making attempts to move the phone to different positions.
After removing the lock screen we can pull down notifications but still can't get to the Home screen by pressing the Home button. I was intermittently able to access the phone screens long enough to take some screenshots of the offending window that is blocking the Home screen.

Any ideas on how we can get the phone back to normal operation will be appreciated. Thanks.
[Solved]
I think the problem was due to the Pouch Mode feature, which allows some app features such as notifications to appear after pulling the phone out of a pocket or pouch.
Connectivity -> Pouch Mode was enabled. The pre-Home screen problem went away after I disabled it.
Also I have the same problem
