On my s4 running stock rooted mdk, I use the native gallery app to view photos and am always annoyed by the preview strip of thumbnails obscuring the bottom of the frame when viewing a single picture full screen. I'm not sure how this got activated, but I can find no way to turn it off, and searches haven't helped. Anyone have a solution?

Doesn't work. I can tap a thumbnail and navigate to that picture, or double tap the current one to zoom in. But single tap, or tap-and-hold, does nothing, not on my S4, anyway. I tried just about everything that seemed intuitive before posting this question.

Not sure if it'd work but maybe try clearing data on Gallery?

Must be a problem with your setup. The strip will go away on its own after a few seconds or if you tap the screen. Pretty sure there is no setting for this.
Data wipe and reboot availed nothing, but good suggestion, and thanks for confirming that this is abnormal behavior. I haven't really messed with the system apart from rooting MDK and freezing the OTA processes so I don't lose my unlocked bootloader...so I'm not sure what I did that would've messed up the gallery. But if I finally get round to installing a 4.4.x ROM, perhaps the problem will go away.

On my old Dell Streak, and my Asus Transformer, I can zoom in on text until it was a comfortable size and double click it. This word wraps the text to the size of the screen.
I can't seem to do this on my beautiful new SGS2 The menu option "Auto fit pages" doesn't appear to work this way (although it is better than nothing)
Is there a way?
If u do search you'll definitely find answer in forum. I use Dolphin HD browser which does it with no probs.

I use Dolphin and it doesn't do it. Neither on any other application. So what's the solution?
On my old HTC it worked on anything I did it on.
I don't think that there's a solution for this (at least in the stock browser that I use), though I'm fine with the 'Auto-fit pages' option on.
What you're asking for is exactly what "Auto-fit pages" is for, and it works perfectly for me. I can only guess that something is different between our devices (branding changes, different FW versions etc..)
Despite being overkill for such a small issue, is trying a different ROM out of the question?
Solved it by enabling Pinch-zoom button. That is the -/+ that shows up in the bottom right of the browser when you touch the screen.
Strangely you have to use this and zooming with your fingers won't work as stated by this thread.

Pinch-to-zoom doesn't do it, but double tapping to zoom in/out does.
Double tapping won't get the zoom you require it will zoom to fit the screen.
Try enabling Pinch in Dolphin browser. It works and is already enabled in stock browser.

Not true. It zooms to suit the "Default zoom" setting.
The first attachment is normal viewing, and the second is after I double-clicked the top left of the article. As you can see, the text is reformatted to fit the screen (not the other way round), and it is more than large enough to read. This is with default zoom set to medium.
I know this is an old thread, but I found it by searching for a solution for this problem as I now have a Note with the same issue, on ICS.
I think it's Samsung’s fault. It worked perfectly on my Galaxy nexus.
however, the good news is that there is a solution.
Download ICS browser+ from Google Play. Its great.

You have to double click twice... First double click = zoom, second double click is text refllow.
After the second double click you can pinch and zoom to any desired level and the text will reflow accordingly :good:

Tried it but it won;t work. I did the automatically text reflow too option too and when I zoom in just past the screen it automatically zooms out.
Even if I do a double tap it automatically zooms out.
Maybe it's my firmware. I'm on stock "I9100XWLPD". Could you or anyone else that got this working let me know which "exact" stock firmware you have so I can give that a try?...
^ Tried 3 other Stock ROMS this morning and no dice with this working on ICS Browser+.
Which exact Stock ROM versions are you guys getting this to work on?...
Is there anyway to dismiss the row of thumbnails once you're inside an album in the gallery app?
I remember those thumbnails used to go away once you tap on a picture on the S3, but now they're there all the time.
Swipe to the left?

single tap does nothing. Double tap zooms in the picture, with the bottom row of index remaining on screen.

I misunderstood your post then.
Initially you see a list of albums, then once you go in the album you see the column on the left. Swiping to the left gets rid of that.
But once you go into a picture, you see the row you're talking about.
On my phone it disappears after 3-4 seconds, or when I do a single tap in the middle of the picture for example.

I see, from your signature, that you have a Note 2, and the behavior that you're describing is the expected one. The row of index should go away once you've tapped on the picture, or it'll go away after a few seconds. I've had many android devices, and all of them do that, except on my S4. So I was wondering if there's any way to resolve it.

I'm using the S4 now and that's the behavior on there.
Maybe try a reset? Data wipe?

I see... may I ask if you have flashed any ROM? I'm on Hyperdrive RLS2, maybe that's the problem.
Hi,I linked the thread that I started asking the same question, on page 1. I am on Hyperdrive and this is happening to me, so maybe it is the problem?
For me though, doesnt really matter anymore as I have bought Camera and Gallery JB+, which are superior (other than losing a few of the Samsung app features). These replace the stock apps and act just as the normal JB apps. No issues like this exist that I can see.
Maybe grab the gallery apk from the stock ROM if you are also running Hyperdrive ROM, but that may or may not fix the issue.
Also, if you use the stock gallery and camera apps, they will be cut off and weird looking if you happen to decrease your DPI in the build.prop like I did (I just went from 480 to 460 and even that causes a column of gallery albums to get cut off). Again, using Gallery JB+ fixed this for me as well.

Can Gallery JB+ sync picasa albums?
I believe so but not 100% sure. I don't see why not, it acts just like stock JB app in every way.

yikes, i'm at a lost then. Clearly I'm not the only person with this problem, and I do know how to use the gallery app, since I have an S3 and a Galaxy Nexus right next to me, and they behaves as one would expect.

Do you have Lightflow or an app that needs accessibility access? Then that might be the culprit. I deselected Lightflow and my gallery app could go full screen without having the top and bottom bars. It's a Tradeoff if we want to use those apps.

Disable Lightflow's accessibility and Gallery app goes back normal.

I remember reading somewhere on these forums that Lightflow activates the Talkback feature. Then that got me thinking when I selected multiple photos and I heard the talkback speak. I thought that Lightflow could be the problem and tried it out and boom. I received my answer.
Hi,
Im sure most of you will look at it as a stupid question
But im an android noob, so sorry in advance.
My question is this:
When I'm trying to play a flash video on my HTC one internet browser I don't have the option to make it play in full screen.
The best I can do is flip the phone to landscape and try to fit the video to my screen.
Is there anyway to force it to play in full screen or to at least show a button to do so?
Maybe I'm missing some sort of update to be able to this natively?
Thanks in advance.
Press the button that says full screen just like you would on a computer
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
I don't have that button.
It only shows up on Chrome browser.
But not in the default internet app, nor in Firefox
Any time there's a flash video it should look exactly like it does on the computer so unless you post pictures of what you're talking about I can't really help you

before you start the video their was 4 choices at the bottom to view in Auto/HD/high/low-rez
choose HD turn phone on it's side and scroll down a little its full screen now.
I also found in the stock browser you have to enable flash in the settings and it also went full screen with a double tap on the screen
I don't know how it shows on your screen, but even when choosing HD it's still the same.
Native app is even worse, all the touch controls seem corrupt.
Just wanted to add that its been like that since day1.
And that's even after doing a clean flash of 4.3 about 2 weeks ago.

native browser is not bad but the controls are strange on GameSpot

Yup, tapping the lower right corner in the native app worked just fine and went full screen.

I get "invalid post id" when trying to edit OP to [solved]
So sorry if this has already been discussed but when I take a screenshot on my phone, whether it be pressing power and volume at the same time, or using the other 2 options to take a screen shot, I don't get that thumbnail image where you can select options to edit the picture, scrolling screenshot, etc.
I've searched everywhere for options, but can't find any answers online.
I see the thumbnail pop-up for literally a split second where no human can possibly select an option. The only other photo app I have installed on my phone is QuickPic but I don't think that's causing it.
Can anyone help me with this issue? The phone is only 3 weeks old and pretty stock in terms of apps on it. I keep everything very simple. Non-root of course, no mods whatsoever.
thank you in advance!

It got broken 2 updates ago for me. Broke the floating bar I was using as well. I'm using an alternate until they fix their broken updates or I just get sick of all these bugs
Did you turn your animations all the way off. If so you won't see the thumbnail with the options.

Pretty much as far as I can remember since there has been options added and a window popup made rather than just a notification for a screen shot. AOSP ROMs that I have developed for call for a window animation value, and unless it is set for a hard coded value, it will default to what the system window animation value is.

My issue is the screenshot will save, the SS will show in the notification pull down, but the edit option doesn't do anything anymore. Only share and delete work from the pull down. This is since the June 1 security patch. That patch also broke my floating bar for screenshots, screen recording, crop etc. I am having to use a 3rd party floating bar that constantly turns itself off when the phone goes in deep sleep. Even have the battery saving turned off for it. Why would they break such an important feature.

Hm, that I am not sure as my edit button for a screenshot from the notification works fine. Also all my options in floating bar are working fine. If you can get me a logcat of when you select the edit option and may be able to tell you why.

For sure. Let me go see now. Crap, no root. Forgot I gotta do the whole adb thing. This might take me a minute, got some drama happening here at home. Thanks
It's quite annoying. I cannot access the menu bar anymore. Looks like the first cm of the screen cannot be accessed.
If I go to settings, I can use it. In other apps, such as WhatsApp it's not accessible. It happened after the restart when it updated Android to v12.
Does anybody know a workaround?
To be more precise, the upper part of the screen can't be accessed. If I rotate the screen into landscape mode, it's fine. I can also not click buttons or text on the upper screen area. It's about 1 cm from the top. Everything else from down there works.
And as I said in my original post. If I open an app, the upper screen area works as well, so it's not a hardware issue.

Do you use an app like Energy Bar? I reset my phone for the same issue and whe reinstalling each app I found it was Energy Bar causing the issue, I guess because it requests screen overlay permissions?
