hello to all the users.can someone help me with my xda executive.it does not play the movie in full screen mode.if i do click on the full screen mode picture area remains small and the screen around is black.
Hi Amit2arora,
have you checked the screen size of the video itself? Chances are that if it's already been letterboxed (meaning black bars on the top and bottom), then the bars will remain visible when you switch to full screen mode.
hi
unless the files is ATLEAST vga sized like 640x480 it will come as you have described... i think someone found a solution for the non 640x480 sized videos to work full screen on our vga devices...
if anyone remembers the link please post it here...

I cannot seem to find the answer to what i have a question on, i see so many cool wallpapers and i dont know how to get them to run on my HD whilst TF is active. Seems I can only get my today screen to reflect the photo i select if i turn OFF touch flo, no good. Support? Thanks
Set the wallpaper via the setting menu on TouchFlo3D rather than the settings for the Today screen.
yes, bt doing so yeilds a low quality picture. any idea how we can set a high resolution pic (800x480) as the background to actually use the screen's full potential?

it is possible but the only way of doing it is a complex hack which is rather time consuming and the results are not perfect. if you would like me to write up the instructions i will do so when i get back on my pc. (browsing on my phone atm) the hack involves inserting pngs into system files and hex edits.
I've created a theme with a high quality wallpaper which you can find here
Does anybody using Netflix have the enlarge/full screen button on the bottom right side of their Nexus 7 while watching videos in Netflix? Every tablet I have had, which means nearly every popular tablet made, has had the ability to expand 4:3 videos to full screen ( a necessity on smaller 7" - 8" screens if you ask me) via a small button (four opposed arrows pointing diagonally) located next to the total video time on the lower right portion of the screen.
For some reason, it is missing on the Nexus 7 for me in both stock or PA roms. I have tried changing the DPI & the resolution, but no matter what I do, the enlarge/full screen soft button just won't appear while watching Netflix.
Anybody have a fix for this? Anybody have that button showing? Try playing a 4:3 video like Star Trek DS9 on your N7 & let me know if you have an expand screen button in your Netflix app.
Slingplayer, Xfinity, MX player etc...aside from Google Play movies, I have not found a video app that uses the full 6" screen. Slingplayer and Xfinity leave what looks to me to be over 1/4" of the screen on the right side blacked out. Is this universal or an issue with my phone? Is there a setting somewhere I haven't found to force full screen for video?
I am completely stock 8.1 at the moment...I don't think I should have to do something via adb like forcing immersive mode for something like being able to use my whole screen to watch video???
thanks for any and all input
I think this has to do with the apps themselves being updated to support the aspect ratio. As of now some apps support it and others dont, in time they will update.
It's likely because our screen is 1440 pixels x 2880 pixels (an 18:9 ratio). Most video conform to the regular 16:9 ratio. Because our screen is slightly wider than traditional, there are basically three options:
- Leave empty space as unused on the left/right side of the screen, which is default for most video apps that would otherwise be full screen. The video remains properly proportioned.
- Stretch the video to fill the screen. This would cause slight distortion on the video.
- Zoom the video to fill the screen. This causes you to lose a tiny bit on the top/bottom of the image, and might result in a tiny tiny bit of loss-of-clarity. But the video remains properly proportioned and unskewed. You can zoom in on YouTube videos with a pinch gesture to see this in action.
I'm sure that some more apps will likely adapt similarly to YouTube, but it may take some time.
Does anyone else experience this? When I go from portrait to landscape, this white bar appears on the bottom of the screen. It goes away when I tap the screen. I have searched and searched but no answer. I've factory reset, done everything it still shows up. Even across roms. It happens on oos as well as every other room I've tried. Please help!
Yup, experiencing the same, no solution so far.
Also another one: app refuses to go into landscape mode after a first launch when video is loaded (it does on main screen etc). I have to press the full-screen button to go into landscape and then it works normally with gyro sensor.

Just do a pinch to zoom gesture and the bars are disappearing.
Is has to do with the screen ratio.
I have this bug / feature only when the video quality is not HD.
I thought that the video is getting smaller because it looks sharper then on 480p
BTW: what phone are you using? It doesnt look like an oneplus 3.
Then why are you posting this glitch on this area of the forum?

It is a screenshot from the YouTube app. He's watching a video about the Pixel, on the OP3 and as you can see, the white bar is on the screen.
