Video window up in "portrait" mode - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I just realize that in mode "portrait", the video stands in the top of the screen. Not on the centre !
I also tried in MXVideo but it's the same.
No problem when rotate in landscape !
any idea ?
PS : I tried to make a screenshot but when sliding my hand on screen, the video comes back in center !!!

same problem here !

I Just realized that I have also the same problem in YouTube..
Anyone have an idea?
From Tapatalk SGS3

anyone ?

it happens sometimes not always
its most likely a software problem that samsung will fix with the next update

Also experiencing this. It is really frustrating. Went from stock unrooted to rooted CM 9.1 when this started to appear. Any ideas on what specifically is causing this and what are the options for a fix?

In YouTube, it's like that. Fullscreen for landscape and video at top and description, related and comments in the bottom for portrait.

[Q] youtube full screen w/o having screen rotate on??

hi just wondering if it's just me or others r having this issue. to get youtube to go full screen I need to have screen rotate on. coming from sgsII all you had to do was turn the phone and u didn't need rotate turned on. maybe I'm missing a setting
if there is a workaround or fix I would to hear about it
I have auto roate off and I just had to double tap the video. On my Evo I could press down and hold on the video and hit the maximize icon that popped up.
I tried double tapping... I'm on youtube version 4.0.8e if that helps and I'm on stock i747 rom
anyone?
Happens with ICS on the Sprint SGS2 as well. Seems to be a TouchWiz issue because CM9 rotates like it should. Not sure if there's a workaround other than waiting for CM9 to make its way here.

Same here!
I'm using Apex Launcher but i don't know if touchwiz is doing something in the background. Double-touch doesn't work neither.
it might just be with youtube 4.0.8e... anyone else having this problem?

Auto Rotation problem

Hello guys. My new S2 has a problem. When i activate Auto rotation it only works in landscape mode, but when i try to put it in portrait it doesn't work, no matter what position i rotate my phone in. I think the problem is the accelerometer sensor. How can i fix it?

The first thing for me to try is always a factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik and do full reset. 9 times out of ten this has fixed issues for me.
If it doesn't work then you can go into test mode on your phone and test the accelerometer. Open dial pad and dial *#0*#
That'll give you some idea if it's the accelerometer

dude plz helppp......................I have to keep auto rotate off.:crying::crying:
It will rotate Landscape, but won't return to portrait.
It wil flip Landscape on one side and Landscapeon the other side, but won't do portrait, till auto rotate is turned off.
Anybody have any suggestions on how to fix this?
I guess I could whack it and start over, but that blows! That would at least tell me something I guess.
It's really irritating. And I dont wat to do helpppp....:crying::crying::crying:

You both have to provide your ROM details.
Anyways, if you guys are running CM9, CM10 or any AOKP based Roms, then the instructions below should solve your problems:
1. Goto settings - Display
2. Under ROTATION, enable every option you find there.
All should be well if you the simple instructions.
If you have any more questions, do let me know

I'm on AOKP JB 4.2.2 MR1- Build 5 with my GT-i9100. When I try auto rotate after a reboot it works. 10 minutes later it won't work anymore but after some time it might work again and after that it's stuck in one position again. Calibrating my device doesn't help and I can't find anything else in settings that could help. Thanks in advance.
Bump, sorry if this is annoying but I want to respond in main AOKP channel, can't do it as I'm a ''junior'' member. I just need my answer

I have the same problem! Have officially 4.1.2. Any suggestion i will appreciate because it is so annoying and making me desperate.
Just to mention, in Camera mode, it is flipping normally from Landscape to Portrait and contrary.
my camera can`t stop rotating even with rotation and motion turned off.. i snap a picture holding the phone straight(portrait) and the pictures come randomly...one is upside down , the other is sideways. And i have the same problem with different roms? now i`m with alliance rom 7.3 and before that i was with chamelion rom

I have exact same problem.Have you found the solution?
Perhaps recalibration can sort this out.

An easy fix for me on rotation issue
Hey i had the same issue as well, and i followed some of the other instructions in trying to wipe my cache and factory reset to fix the isse, nothing happened my sensors were still off when i tested it and i could put it to landscape, but i could not get it back to portrait. and i also tried some other suggestions as well. Finally i decided i was going to live with it until i found this app call (auto rotate widget) by jason hull, i would post a link but i just registered.
Some how this app fixed my phone and all i did was install it, i never touched any of the settings and now my sensors are back to normal and the phone is rotating perfect now.

Add camera ics from the play store. It might solve your problem.

Anyone having issues with Firefox browser?

I'm having some screen issues with Firefox. Sometimes the bottom of the screen goes black and the tabs at the top disappear. By using split screen mode I can repair this but it does seem to come back regularly. Strangely enough I can replicate this behavior by using the volume down button (wtf?) when a video is playing on a website. It seems some kind of screen resolution thing, in Firefox it's reported as 1195x747x24 but in Chrome I see 1205x753x24.
Is anyone else having these screen issues with Firefox, and am I right in thinking that it is Firefox that somehow gets the resolution wrong and that that's the cause? Why its also related to the volume button is beyond me.

I don't know the answer, sorry, but curious if you've tried the jelly (for lineage) browser? You can find the apk by searching xda if you didn't know.
I ask about that because jelly is using the system html rendering, so it may work and be very minimalist. Aside from that, and hope u don't mind my asking, why not use apps when available? I'd expect the app for netflix etc to be able to function no issues. If not, there should be support from them. But ff not playing a video properly? not sure there's much support available for that?
Have you automatic screen resolution adjustment checked or free form mode activated (as indicated by me in that thread) via adb?
(When free form was activated I realized similar behavior in free form apps)
I found out that Firefox beta doesn't have this issue, so I presume whatever it is it'll be fixed in the next release of Firefox.
Screen issue is fixed now with the update., Firefox working the way it should now.
I presume other screen issues with video playing like people have reported with vlc will also be fixed.
