I want to use the full screen. I want the notch to cover some of the information. Any ideas if possible on T-Mobile 10.0.3 ?
I've tried myself and can't seem to get full screen on Netflix, Amazon prime video,and chrome. If I would have known about this ahead of time I would of got a 7 pro
I have the 7 Pro as well. Full screen immersive on all apps. It's an incredible phone... I like the 7T flat edges though.
Full immersive mode is dependent on the apps, have the 7PRO, but only YouTube will work on full screen, TV and other stuff have black bars on each side. I returned the PRO coz I hate the curved

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.
Hi,

If you mean literally full screen, you can't. We have a weirdo aspect ratio that isn't fully supported.

I doubt it but you can try.
i m also looking for a solution for this... this really shows that Android isnt optimized for an immersive fullscreen experience. which is a bummer with the new 18:9 displays and bezels getting smaller and smaller..
It becomes very apparent when using iphone x - iOS is designed to give a much more immersive feeling - no nav bar and only transparent status bar. Apps by default literally fill the entire screen - where do we ever have this? We only get this in certain situations for media and games, thats it. rest of OS is not really immersive.
i installed "Granular Immersive Mode" app to get rid of status bar in select apps and it already makes a big difference. i would recommend this for everyone.
I also experimented with "Swipe Home Button" to get rid of nav bar and really fullscreen apps, but there is no good way to maintain BACK button and RECENT button.
but that still leaves things like 18:9 video in Chrome which is just not possible. ah well.
Use Samsung's browser. That one offers support for video scaling by stretching or cropping.

thanks for suggestion, but not the version i found in the app store, at least not for the 2 pages i just tried. maybe i missed something..
either way, i rather wanted to make the general point about Android here ...
Yes, you need to activate the Video Assistant (or something similarly called) from its extensions list. Then it should be working fine. I just checked it using the official version of the browser (beta is a bit older).
Can u provide me the extension name
Men this browser is awesome. Solution for all issue. Recommended. It have all you need in super amoled and ratio 21:9
As mention in the title, I have been looking for a way to get apps to take advantage of the entire screen. Most games (Hearthstone, Cosmic Express, etc.) have a black bar at the bottom even when immersive mode is active. I have used apps such as Granular and Nav Bar Hidder to force immersive mode which does work for some apps but not for every app.
Other android phones such as the LG V30 and the Samsung S8/Note 8 have a feature where they force apps to run full screen with no black bar. I know custom ROMs could fix this problem by porting the feature and I have been looking around a ROM that has this feature, with no luck.
Does anyone know of a fix or a ROM that could help?
I think the apps need to be updated to take advantage of the 18:9 screen.
That's how it looks.

I measured it, the navigation bar hight is 168 pixels and the black area hight 202 pixels. So I would say on the unfilled area, the developers are to blame because they have not optimized the apps for 2:1 screens.

Funny thing is that this phone doesnt auto centered the screen when using an app that havent optimised for 2:1 aspect ratio,
Example, game will use left area of the screen, leave a big black unused space on the right.
Sometimes the "stock" thing in pixel make the phone actually dumber,
My S8 do better handling this situation.

I agree samsung's solution is better for this issue, should have been common sense by google to do the same.
Honestly the aspect ratio is the only thing that really pisses me off about the screen. Colors, tint, blah blah blah...I don't care about. The fact that many app developers still haven't gotten off their asses to fix this aggravates me to no end. I'd much rather have the 5.5" screen of the Pixel XL in a supported format then a larger device with a 6" screen that triggers my OCD.
I found a problem with some apps that run exclusively in landscape mode, the notch are is not used.
I, unlike others, am a fan of the notch, and I always want to use the full real estate of the screen. Even the launcher refuses to use that zone while in landscape mode... And while most people hate the notch, remember one thing... we are rocking IPS not OLED... so while the notch is off, you can still see light bleed from it, which for me, it's annoying as hell.
Is there a way to force apps to use that zone while landscape? I came across discussions from essential phone and oneplus and they can natively (because customization level) force apps into full screen mode.

This Magisk module will do it.

It's a system-wide toggle though, not a per-app toggle.
Hello,
I have a problem with my Redmi Note 8 Pro ever since the Android upgraded to 10.
Some games, for me specific township, are optimized for fullscreen mode and I can not change it.
I want to turn off the fullscreen for this game (and maybe others) even if they say it's optimized.
The problem is that with fullscreen mode on it kinda zooms into the game, icons normally flush to the sides are now a small fingers width from the sides away. I had the same problem with Android 9 but there I was able to turn off the fullscreen mode
Is there a way to do it, turn off fullscreen mode, through developers mode?
A downgrade form Android 10 to 9 pie is my last resort if there's no other way.
Please Help
