[Q] Firefox for Android displayed resolution issue - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This issue has been bothering me for some months, now, and what few possible fixes I have found out there seem to not work to varying degrees. So, the issue I'm noticing is on my Asus TF300T, if I display a page under Chrome, the page displays properly formatted for my screen's resolution and everything fits correctly. However, if I load the same page in Firefox, regardless of how I have zoom settings configured, or layout.css.devPixelsPerPx in about:config, the most I can make Firefox do is display a page with the correct resolution once. The moment I navigate away from a page, or refresh, or quit and relaunch the browser, pages load in lower resolution once again, despite the setting in about:config still being set as desired.
Here are some screenshots to help illustrate what I mean
Chrome:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Firefox(Pale Moon to be exact):
So, my question is, does anyone have any other ideas as to how to figure this out and get Firefox to display pages as Chrome does? I know, I know, 'just use Chrome' but I actually am not a fan of how Chrome works for a number of things, also no extensions whatsoever, and all of my main PCs run Firefox, so sync is key.
Thanks for any suggestions you guys may offer and for taking the time to read this.

Bump.
I'm guessing nobody has any ideas or suggestions around this one, eh? It's a shame, too, cuz I'd love to be able to use my tablet as an actual computer and without getting my browsers to sync properly, it's the only obstacle remaining.

[APP][2010-02-06]Google Voice Visual Voicemail

I've developed a finger friendly application that allows you to access your Google Voice mailbox right from your handset. Right now, it's pretty simple and just lets you see who called and when and play the voicemail but I'm planning on adding more features such as starring, marking items as read, and transcriptions pretty soon (right now it is 'read only' per say).

Under the white boxes is people's names. It cross references the phone numbers with those in your address book to display by name instead of just the phone numbers. Some caveats/requirements... it utilizes the Silvermoon project for the GUI and therefore requires OpenGL support. It will "work" without OpenGL however it will be rather slow. Also, it saves the configuration and voicemails to \Storage Card\GoogleVoice so it requires a storage card to be present.

Let me know what you think and what sort of features you'd like to see as well as any bugs.
Looks nice. Thanks!
Awesome Thanks!!
It's work just a bit slow
This is a great app, hope RustyGrom can improve the performance of it. Thanks!
I am running this on my Touch Pro2.. Works pretty good. Still some issues with the screens, but over all a great app. If I can help beta test I would love to help.
And thank you very much for your hard work.
This is almost exactly what I've been looking for... however, on my TP2, all I get is a black screen with the soft buttons on the bottom.
Have you ever used Skype for Windows Mobile? Their mobile visual vm inbox is EXACTLY what I want to do with GV... But if I could get this app to work, it would be start...

Tv friendly launcher?

So i got a MK802 android 4.0 USB stick and have it set up on my bedroom tv.
I can choose and tweak, to use a setup with Android settings as a big phone a regular phone or a tablet. But i was hoping that there was something like a TV launcher. I have found a project on github (see link below) but have no idea if it will work on 4.0 or even if it is what i am looking for.
I was hoping someone knew of a tv friendly launcher.
For example i really like the look of something like this:

It would be way more useful for my purpose, than the standard android os.

I have not seen it yet, but maybe someone could help me by compiling an APK from this:
https://github.com/rharter/Android-TV-Launcher
As far as i can tell from reading,it seems to be somewhat what i am looking for.
Don't take this the wrong way but did you explore the github page you linked to?
There is a compiled version in its bin files section with the word debug in the filename and it does work. At least on gb as I just installed and checked before replying.
It simply shows every app on the device but in one easy to navigate strip across middle of the screen but download it and see if it is what you need

Oh my thats embarrasing. But thanks.
I wrote the developer but he sadly gave up on the project. I would love to just to be able to select which apps that shows up in the launcher. Thqt should be a small adition to add an app drawer and a selction of which apps to appear in the launcher. Oh well.. My search continues. I just don't have any idea where to go from here

Best book reader or trick for landscape/portrait mode

Hey there!
It would be awesome if the available ereader apps would display 2 pages in portrait mode. Most of them do it but in landscape only.
No matter what rotating apps and tricks I have tried I cannot get the apps to be in 'landscape' while the phone is in portrait mode. Everything seems to affect system and app at once.
Does anyone know of a book reader that has 2 pages in portrait mode I can stretch across both screens (I have the workaround installed) or a rotating trick?
Thanks folks!
Unrelated: update and normal gestures finally! Woot!
Use Libera https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.foobnix.pdf.reader, you can all so download the pro version for free on F-droid. There is an option while reading to display two pages at once. If you use that with the widescreen mode app it will work.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thank you very much! After trying 15 or so you just give up and ask! Haha
Thanks again!
Hallos, I am not sure how this relates to Ereaders but i noticed that in some games the landscape mode turns in the wrong way.
I use Control Screen rotation to corrects these issues and it worked very well for me. It can be found here:

I just use it when i need it. hope this helps.

How to remove horizontal camera hider on LG K51s??

So I recently acquired an LG K51s, because my old Sony broke due to water penetration.
One annoying thing I really dislike about the phone (apart from the rubbish skin LG uses), is the simple fact when I go into horizontal mode the phone cuts off part of the top screen to make it look seamless (because it has a hole-punch camera cutout).
Now I really don't mind the camera, provided I can use the 6.55" 20x9 720p screen. So I'd like to know, if there a way I can permanently disable it? I know Nova launcher and YouTube can somehow bypass it and use the whole screen.
Thanks in advance!

So this is kinda useless. But I'll keep trying nonetheless!
I suspect the problem is with com.android.systemui. I have managed to extract the APK and will be looking around to see if I can somehow disable a custom setting in System UI Tuner. If that doesn't work I may have to edit it manually and see if I can overwrite it, somehow...

Settings app giving me the stupid black bar (horizontal)
Same issue in Chrone as in the Settings app (horizontal)
But any app that plays videos (in my case it's YouTube) has the option to remove the black bars (horizontal)
Why is no one giving me ANY useful input?
I can even upload the 90mb systemui apk if, anyone has the knowledge and experience to go through it.
Mods, what the on earth is going on???

Question Why do I have this strange logo in the bottom of my phone?

Hello,
I have this strange red eyes crossed logo at the bottom of my phone. It is there only when I use internet (Duckduckgo). I use the stock ROM.
It wasn't here before, the only thing I can think of is that I debloaded Google Play services (among many others things). Also, I use AnySoftKeyboard.
Thank you for your time!

It's not a strange logo. It is an icon of the DuckDuckGo internet search engine, one of the best deep web search engines and perfectly valid for any normal use. If you do not want it, uninstall the app and you will stop seeing it.

As for the eye that you comment on, it is simply in case you want to keep what you write hidden in case you have someone nearby that you do not want them to see, if you press it you will see ****** instead of the normal letters
Thank you a lot for your answer!
Don't worry, I wasn't talking about DuckDuckGo, I love this browser and it is the only one that I use. I was talking about the red eyes logo, sorry I wasn't clear.
For the eyes, it only appears on DuckDuckGo, so I thought it wasn't a property of AnySoftKeyboard. I pressed on it and nothing happened... As long as it is not harmful, it is fine...
EDIT: It is just the Incognito mode of AnySoftKeyboard, long press enter and you have settings. I didn't know it existed and pressed it without knowing!
ok good luck my friend
