When browsing photos (e.g. In WhatsApp or Google Photos) if I zoom in, then tap the screen to bring up the android hardware buttons at the bottom of the screen, the picture returns to it's unzoomed state.
This problem is really part of the larger problem that tapping to bring up the android hardware buttons causes the screen to resize and place the buttons underneath it, when a much better solution would be to overlay the buttons onto the existing screen. Does anyone know if any part of these issues can be changed / solved?
this is known issue and it has been fixed in EMUI 9.0

Hi,
Several apps I have tried (maybe ~10% of them) only have portrait mode. This is a problem if you have a TV you can't rotate.
I wonder if anyone has any ideas of how to write, say, a background service that detects if it's displaying in portrait mode, and then shrinks the screen view and flips it 90degrees (so essentially you have a portrait screen that is now the correct way up, with black screen on either side). You can't tell it to display in true landscape because that's hard-coded into the app, so it is better to just rotate the portrait display. However this is a hard thing to do as the screen display is very low-level... but does anyone have any ideas of how to accomplish that?
I've done some searching, but of course Android has never really faced this problem before. Android has either been on a rotatable mobile device, or it's been on a GoogleTV where everything is landscape...
If so, that would open up more apps for Q-compatibility...
Hello everyone, I am new to the forums and new to the S3 (only been mine for almost a week) and I rooted it once, unrooted (using 9300XXBLFB_I9300OXABLFB_BTU.zip firmware, probably a bit outdated since it had added a brightness slider in the status bar menu, and changed brightness to color in browser, no big deal). Anyways, the small problem (most likely software) is that when I go to camera, and then to gallery (using the shortcut on the lower-left side) and then get out of the gallery, the 8MP sensor seems to have a black bar on the lower side when holding vertically, or the right/left side when held at corresponding horizontal positions. Easy fix for this would be to just close and relaunch the camera app, but it happens every time. No matter what launcher I use as well.
Had anyone else encountered this "problem" or glitch? And is there a way to permanently fix it?
Hi, everyone!
I had to flash my phone because one day it got stuck in the boot logo. I didn't have the ROM backed up since I was not planning to mess with the phone's software in any way.
I own a Star N800+. Sadly, I couldn't find a suitable ROM anywhere. So I followed @cybermaus ' advice (find a ROM for a phone that has same processor, same memory, same buttons, same screen type and resolution, same sensors, same camera -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36326293#post36326293) and decided that Star/Ulefone N9770 had to have the same hardware. So I flashed a couple of ROMs for N9770 into my N800+ and each one worked great (that is, camera, gps, wifi, g-sensor, buttons where all working) but the screen was rotated upside-down. I mean, every single thing that gets diplayed on the phone from boot logo, to android menu, to every app, to the image from the camera are shown rotated upside-down but in order to operate the phone you have to tap as if you were viewing it right. For example, to tap on the upper-left corner of the image you have to tap on the lower-right corner of the phone's display.
Mi guess is that even if both phones may have the same hardware, there should be some parameters that are not the same for both models. Could anyone, please, give me a hint on this matter?
Here is my phone info:
Star N800+
MT6577 processor,
bootloader came unlocked from factory,
Android version e1909c_v77_jbl_9p017_6628
Baseband version MAUI.11AMD.W12.22.SP.V15
Camera Aptina A-pix MT9p017
Build.prop settings

Update:
I tried to change ro.sf.hwrotation in /system/build.prop from 0 to 180. Some people reported this will rotate lcd display while keeping touchscreen settings. Nothing happened in my device.
Hi,
I'm trying to screen cast from a Nexus 4 to a large screen TV (using a PTV3000). I want to put the TV in portrait mode and have the screen case occupy the entire screen, however I don't seem to find a way to accomplish this. When the phone's orientation is vertical (portrait) it assumes the TV is in landscape orientation and the phone screen is displayed small in the middle of the TV with black space on the sides.
After doing some searching it seems that this behavior can only be changed with a custom ROM, however I haven't been able to pinpoint where in the AOSP tree this behavior can be changed. Any suggestions are much appreciated.
Thanks!

Did you ever get the full screen to work?
Hi ,
I noticed an issue with the display of my Nokia 7.1
the edges of the display look cropped, I mean that text or photos look cut off.
1- the screenshot in the first photo from facebook app shows obvious cropping on the left side (the word Sony)
2-second screenshot from eBay app, see the word lens is missing the letter S
3-third screenshot from Instagram stories, both emoticons are cropped.
4-the last photo shows a screenshot on the left with cropped green leaf,
and on the right, a screenshot sent to me from the account owner the leaf is not as cropped as what I see .
my display size in display setting is on Default !
I contacted Nokia support through the app in the phone, they asked me to do a soft reset, reset app preferences.
nothing solved the issue,
any suggestion, are you facing the same issue ?
My understanding is that this is caused by the aspect ratio (this phone is 18:9). A lot of apps have not been updated on Android to support this natively, which is why you see the cut off edges on images in things like Instagram or Snapchat.
I agree fully with Ansago. I see this in eBay and Instagram (not to the extremes your screenshots show but it is there) and I was also under the impression that it is the long form factor of the screen not playing well with cell padding in the app designs. I tried to alter a lot of settings like display size and keyboard height but nothing was changing the text wrap cut off when I found a few examples. I think because it is limited to so few apps that it is on the app programmers to fix the issue.
