Some apps launch and stick to portrait mode, has this something to do with device being a tablet?

I think some developers are concentrating on the market of phones and leaves aside the tablets (this is only my opinion). So there are apps to force the landscape mode.

I'm rooted and Xposed so this is not a problemfor me. I use a module called "OwnOrientation" to force those apps to use landscape mode. For none rooted users there are some apps In google play store to forces those apps to use landscape mode.
Nova Launcher works fine.
So basically tablet can in a way be the worst of both worlds. Not a phone and a not a laptop. Lol.

Im sorry for sounding silly, Im relatively new to the world of tablet computing. I was merely expecting a tablet to be in principle similar to my Samsung S7 but bigger LOL.

For some reason quite a few apps seem to be only taking up half the screen. Sprint Locator for example only on half top of screen. Antone else getting this problem?
Yep, I think the resolution isn't supported
Download spareparts from the market and open then uncheck compatibility mode and restart. Then try your apps again.

Its merely a resolution issue....no worries

I can name two more apps with this problem, ibird pro and newsroom. There are more and more phones with the higher resolution so I figure it will get fixed eventually.

I know why it lag,
Forgive me if I say anything wrong.
First, it is a mid-low end phone. If I'm right,it don't have a or a dedicated gpu. And the processor clock is around 600-800mhz? (Can't find this processor information)
And without a gpu, games can't load well.

This is true. Your device is actually a low end device. Having only 128mb - 179mb (accessible) ram (which is a major factor) would cause lag.
Go launcher is a Ram hog! It doesn't bother the gaming performance on my G2. I suggest try a different launcher so you can get more ram. I'm just taking a wild guess.

Hi everyone,
I used LG2 for quiet some times. I found that the knock on feature is very handy. Anyone could found any app that resemble that?
You've posted in the wrong section, but the only one I could find (I only searched for two minutes) was the whole G2 launcher that includes the knock on feature. It looks like it works on most phones, but you're also forced to use the ugliest and worst launcher in the world.
You must be rooted and you can download it here:

I just tried that, by pushing apps with right permissions in system/app, but it doesn't work.
I don't know if there's a switch to turn that on or off, but as far as I'm concerned, it doesn't work at all, it's just a simple launcher with no functions at all...

Double tap to wake is a function of the kernel. It has been around long before the G2 in custom kernels (i.e. HTC One with Bulletproof kernel). It is on the Z tablet and a shame Sony did not bring it to the Z Ultra.

I just use Screen Off app from the Playstore. Why should I double tap if I can just single tap it's app icon to make the screen sleep and lock?! To wake it is another thing though. I tested some kernel back then with my SG Note II that do that (touch screen to wake) but it was buggy!
So, it would be if we could find this feature in Google Play (with or without root). I am willing to donate for this feature. Especially the phone is big, would be nice if we can turn on the screen without having to pick up the phone from the table.

There are at least 10 options to turn the screen off, and only half of them require root.
The cool thing to do would be turning the screen ON, or better yet, having the possibility to turn it on and off with two taps on the screen.
If you ever try an LG G2 you will know why that would be cool.
I personally use GMD gesture and turn the screen off pinching three fingers, that's really showing off with all my colleagues and friends...
Sent from my C6833 using Tapatalk 2
Well after using this device, a double tap gesture is not that required and maybe introducing additional issue considering its size and weight distribution in the hand. Plus with the flip case it comes with, turn off and on based on proximity sensor is the more elegant way to run this beast. I made my self a tasker script for that and i love it all the more

You know, I really don't seem to get the grip of Tasker. I install it once in a while, try something, nothing ever works, I give up and uninstall it.
I would really like a full guide on this neat program.
I bet you could even make a task for waking up/putting to sleep the phone by a tap on the SmartWatch 2 (a user made a Tasker extension for it here on XDA)...

Just search for "wave2wake" in the PlayStore app...
Works for me, but it's way too sensitive. And sometimes it just won't notice when I wave.
I say it definitely needs more development, but seeing that since I installed it (yesterday) it already received an update, I also say we're in good hands.

Thanks for this. Tried it and it works. But I went for Every Cover as I'm using a flip cover and it'll be good to make the screen on/off when i close/open it.

Just installed it and it seems to work.
I have the US998 on 20H, unlocked with TWRP, rooted with Magisk 19.1. Whenever the TWRP flashable version of 20H was released, I upgraded from 20G. For some reason my games are now lagging, where the screen will pause for half a second then resume animations. I've tried game mode which will lower the frame rate and resolution but it's not a solution. This happens in other apps too, but is especially noticeable (and annoying) in games.
As best I can tell, this started a few weeks ago, but I can't link it to anything specific. In the recent past I've gone to 20H, I believe Magisk was incremented, and the games have updated as well. Is there a graphics setting that may cause the half second bloop? I'm ready to wipe and restore, if I thought there was a chance it might fix it.
Nobody experienced this? Is this a general android question rather than specific to this phone?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-nfs-injectorv1-t3857231
You could try this magisk module. I would look into recently installed apps running in the background. For instance, I have the Neutron app installed and sometimes I can see it scanning for new media in notifications. What'sapp location icon occasionallly appears in the status bar for a split second even though I haven't used its location service in days. I won't turn either of them off since I use them both but I'm sure Neutron slows my phone down.

I didn't get around to wiping. At this point, whatever updates one of my games had last week seemed to eliminate it from that game (PaD). I also uninstalled some old games that I didn't realize weren't working anymore. I don't think I'm in dire need of a wipe at this point.
