Normally, I have tabs and menu symbol at the top of the screen when using Browser. However, sometimes - I think when I close an existing tab - it switches to full screen mode and I don't know how to see my tabs again. There is not full screen switch in quick controls on the side of the screen.
How do I switch between full screen mode and tabbed mode?
Also: how do I get to my home page?
Edit: I'm talking about stock ICS browser.

Does the lte have the ability to view the home screen in landscape mode?
Not by itself. If you use an MHL adapter or the Media Link, it goes landscape, but thats it.
1) Download "rotation locker" from the Play Store
2) Open the app, when the popup menu appears HOLD DOWN on Auto
3) The app will vanish and should remain running in the background (see your notification?)
4) Landscape Rosie!
Be sure to disable for camera as it makes it a weird rotation! Mileage will vary on other apps.
Hello. I've got a Nexus 7 rooted with the most recent version of SmoothROM on it. I'd like to use the tablet in a sort of kiosk mode. Right now I'm using a combination of the full!screen app and by enabling Quick Controls from the Labs menu in the stock browser. This gives me the fullscreen I need by removing control buttons, etc, and the Quick Controls removes the URL and forces the browser into a full screen mode. To access the settings you touch anywhere on the right or left edge of the browser and a menu instantly pops up. That is where my problem is. Is there anyway to delay that pop up? Ideally I'd like to have to hold it for a few seconds before it pops up. Even just having it activate in only one spot would be nice.
Any idea if this is somehow possible?
Thanks
I built an html-based seating chart app for use in my classroom. I need to view the seating chart in fullscreen landscape mode for the duration of the class. I've been using Chrome on Android and I have some problems. The first is that the address bar takes up too much screen real estate, and it seems the only way to make it go away is to scroll down the page. So I added some space on the page above the seating chart and put a jump link at the top of the page. But still, when my screen turns off and I turn it back on, it automatically rotates into portrait mode and jumps back to the top of the page. Any ideas for a good solution? I have control of both the web html and my phone, so there should be lots of options. Maybe a browser on Android with a fullscreen option?
I stumbled on this trick by accident, i could not get the dual screen to open any apps in windowed mode until i installed Sentio desktop on the phone, the app opens in landscape mode only and can display across both screens, if you add app shortcuts to the top of the screen and click on them, those apps will open in windowed mode on the dual screen. Sentio will crash in the background on the dual screen and goes to recent apps, but the windowed apps stay open on top.. works nicely if you want to multitask in landscape mode like using your main screen for the keyboard and pop back and forth between apps on the dual screen.
Just install

Anyone else having trouble with gesture navigation when using full screen apps?
Sometimes when I start a video on YouTube in full screen mode, switch temporarily to a messaging app and then come back to the video, the gesture navigation is all messed up. Lower part (short side of the phone) of the screen doesn't register touch so I can't get out of full screen in YouTube and the thin white bar is not where it should be on the longer side (which is now supposed to be the bottom), but instead it is on the short side which should also be my "back" gesture now.
This is very annoying as trying to swipe 'back' now gets me to the home screen and I am unable to hit three dots or the full screen button in YouTube.
I am not using auto-rotate, but I am using Sony Side sense and obviously gestures to navigate. Rotating the phone 180 degrees and back seems to fix it. It's like the phone forgets how it should be oriented when I switch between an app that is in portrait mode and landscape mode
Anyone else out there with these kind of issues or am I alone with this?
I've also experienced this and have found no fix. If I go to recent apps and re-enter the app from there a couple times, it fixes itself but that's all I've found.
