Hello all,
Does anyone know how to make landscape orientation work through HDMI? When I rotate the phone to landscape, the image on the screen rotates but uses the same screen real estate as the portrait on my tv, it is just at a 90 degree rotation.
I would love to actually use my phone to watch videos on the TV screen
Thanks
It's gotta be your tv or tv settings. Mine works flawlessly.

I just got the same problem, and it was fine before, I just recently switched build.prop files though, so it may be why

So I was messing with my x10's camera again and for some reason, it's not rotating to portrait.. How come? I'm using prerooted GB btw..
yeah, not only you. the camera after the GB update doesn't rotate at all.
its still better than what they originally intended though (to give us the stock android camera)
Guys, what i did notice, is even tho the camera doesnt rotate into portrait, when you snap the picture it automatically saves as a portrait. Did you notice that?

Yes, it's just the UI that doesn't change, probably because screen-rotation is CPU intensive and would slow the camera. It's still capturing in portrait so no big deal.
Sorry to bump up old thread, but i managed to rotate it twice, accidentally.
First time was i launch it from the FB app, i manage to use it in portrait mode.
The second time i managed to do it was yesterday, i manage to rotate it 3 side, left and right, plus one side in portrait mode. But now i cant get it to rotate again
=(
On stock rom though.
If you hold the phone upright in the camera app and press one of the volume buttons, it rotates to portrait.
Hey guys, I was recently at a football game and the girl in front of me had a Droid, idk which one it was, but it had a slide out keyboard. Anyways, when she slid out the keyboard / rotated to landscape, the entire screen rotated with a beautiful animation. On all 5 of my android devices, when I switch to horizontal mode, it just jerks to landscape mode, no animation whatsoever. How do I achieve this animation? Its hard to describe through text, but it is identical to the iPhones auto rotate animation.

When I hook up my prime in r my 720 p TV everything works great, shows the whole screen. But when I hook it up to my 1080p screen it cuts off the outer edge if the screen all the way around. Thick enough to barley see the apps icon on the home screen. But it also does this on my Acer a 500, so I think it is a android issue. Is there a setting that I have never seen before to fix this?
Also I made sure its not the zoom, wide or stretch feature on the TV

this is an issue with your TV enabling overscan of the HDMI image. on my panasonic plasma TV i had to troll through the advanced picture settings and change the "HD Size" to "Size 2". i don't know why panasonic makes this the default but that's how it goes. once that setting was made the display was a perfect 1080p crop. changing zoom/wide/stretch doesn't solve this problem because all that does is adjust how a sub-1080p image is presented on the 1080p surface.

My TV used to do the same, it's as he says: find overscan, give it the boot!
Hi.
Yes, i have, I9300, i bought multimedia stand for note II and it works like charm. One small problem. Screen resolution of my monitor is 1200x1600, and what resolution S3 has - you know. Is there any way or program that will change screen resolution after connection S3 with monitor to the 1200x1600? It looks not good when S3 give me his native resolution, all blurry and crappy view on the monitor.
Stand has 3x USB, 1xHDMI, 1x3.5jack, and place to connect charger that has 5V 2A. For curious ones i have bought that device here that is Polish shop but pictures you can see there.
Anybody know is there any way to make that phone use 1200x1600 screen resolution after connection to that base?
Oh, one more question, that base make phone to use landscape mode, but when i use skype, or camera, it works in normal mode, and screen is blinking till my camera is running. When i turn my camera off - phone is using FULL SCREEN MODE!! The same situation is in youtube app and when i am watching movies. It uses screen resolution that my monitor has.
Anybody can help me with that?
Nope, there's nothing you can do with hdmi resolution -plenty of similar posts but none I've read found a solution. Can't make any sense of your second question.
Oh, sorry, it`s hard to me to translate that straight from polish ok i try again: Camera. For example: When my cellphone is connected to that base, and i`m using skype, when i turn on my front or back camera, person who i talking to view me on side, like 90 degrees to left. Cellphone is forced to use landscape mode on that base and only camera is working normally (neutron music player too ;P )
Another fact that normal screen is not on full screen, on top and bottom there is black stripe - i understand why. And skype, youtube or other movies is using fullscreen mode.
Other soft for s3 supporting that connection to base?
I don't believe I've seen this addressed but if so, my apologies.
I'm having an issue typically with games in landscape mode. The screen will invert and when I rotate the tablet 180 degrees to get it right, it'll immediately rotate and flip upside-down again. I've played with preventing auto rotation and forcing it to only use landscape, but it still gives me issues. This is with games in both the stock Kindle OS as well as with a separate launcher in the flashable GAPPS environment.
Anyone else having this issue or have a fix?
Thanks
Actually just saw this being talked about in the "[ROM] thor-gapps-rom" discussion under the development forum.

Try "Smart Rotator" app, and/or lock the screen orientation using the notification toolbar BEFORE you run the game.

Locking the screen by the notification bar does not work in some cases.
Best way is to use an app called ADAPTIVE ROTATION LOCK, it has an adaptive mode whenever the screen change the orientation, a small button appears and the screen orientation only changes when you hit the button or else it will go away.
The app has a pro version in which allow you to set the default orientation PER APP, I set all my games to Landscape and it works flawlessly.
