So I watch videos while laying in bed a lot. You obviously want to watch the video in Landscape so you want the phone to orientate to your head not to gravity. I'm looking for a way to stick the screen so it goes into Landscape while in the Youtube app or whatever. If anyone could help it would be much appreciated.

Hey guys quick question for you.
I download youtube videos on my computer and load them up on the GNote and watch the clips using the stock player.
Sometimes when I select the next clip I want to watch, it would play a video that I captured using the GNote. Does this happen to anybody else or is it just me? Also, is there are way to default the screen orientation to landscape?
I could use MX Player or Doubletwist, but I like the stock player because you could lock the screen. This function is vital because I hold the phone with my thumb pressing the softkeys on the bottom.
As always, thanks.
What about flipping the phone around so your thumb is resting on the top of the phone, by the carrier logo? Then you don't have to lock anything. The area is just as wide as the area used by the buttons so there is plenty to hold on to. Just keep your thumb to the left of the logo and not to the right so you don't cover up the sensors.
Right now, when you connect the Galaxy S III to a TV, it'll display the video in whatever orientation the S3 is currently in. For example, when you hold the phone vertically, it shows up as portrait on the TV (with black spaces on either side), and when the phone is held horizontally, the TV displays landscape video.
Since I have a screen that can rotate, I want to make it so that the video that the Galaxy S III displays will always fill the screen. As in, when the S3 is held vertically, the video it displays fills the whole screen without the black spaces (if you were watching it on a TV, it would appear sideways).
Is this possible? I know that on the iPhone there's an app on Cydia called Landscape TV Out, which always outputs the video in landscape (thus filling the screen). That's what I'm looking for.
If an app is possible but it doesn't exist, I'm willing to pay for one to be made.
To clarify, I've attached two pictures that show what the S3 outputs by default and what I need it to look like in portrait.
I've searched through the GT-i9300 and SGH-i747 source code, but I haven't found anything (maybe I'm not looking for the right thing?)
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

hi all,
is there a way to tweak the camera setting so that if i record videos vertically, it'll still capture what it would if you were to hold the phone horizontally? or an app which can enable that??
i'm asking because it's quite annoying when i record a video holding the phone vertically, i have to use a program to rotate the video to watch it upright on my computer...also makes the video weird once i rotate it because the video is now long and skinny instead of wide screen.
i know some of you may say i can just simply hold the phone horizontally...the thing is sometimes i forget and also i find it more comfortable holding the phone vertically.
or is this a physical limitation of the camera lens??
any help would be much appreciated.
If you wanted widescreen in vertical you would need to crop. The sensor is a rectangle, so its not so much the limitation of the lens as its if the sensor. With cropping you lose a lot of detail and resolution. So even if you found an app like that, it would still have to crop.

i seee..so it's a restriction with the hardware.
thank you for the info! appreciate it.
sucks because sometimes when i go to concerts, holding the phone vertically will allow me to record over the person in front of me if they're taller.

Hello guys!
The topic is still actual. The camera sensor is big enough these days to record full HD landscape video while a phone is holding vertically. So, does anyone know a camera app which can do it?
Thanks a lot!
if the sensor is square, its just retarded software that wont simply rotate the image. the only reason this is not the default is greedy shareholders. a rectangular sensor is cheaper than a square one and they dont care about user experience
Does anyone know how to keep the lockscreen videos from zoning in when I apply any of the videos I've cut down they zoom in way close which make the quality go. Down immensely is there a way to. Keep that from happening
