Videos are always played in landscape mode - Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers

Noticed that few videos are always getting played in landscape mode and doesn't play in portrait mode even if I rotate the device. Tried several players and its the same behavior. Its a bit annoying when using with one-handed mode on train.
Any ideas how to fix this problem?

I too would like the Huawei Video app to play videos in portrait mode and not just landscape mode.

If you open a video and click on the square inside a square top right corner it will open up in portrait mode PIP on your home screen.

thanks, but i'm looking for some kind of hack for default video player, not a different media player.

Anyone actually prefer portrait over landscape?

I know the 'intended' way of holding the device is primarily in landscape, but more often than not, I find myself holding the device tallways, in portrait. It's great for browsing and upscaled apps actually feel quite good. Anyone else on the same boat?

I find myself using portrait about the same amount as landscape.
On my Nexus 7, I liked Portrait more then Landscape for non-gaming related matters. Not quite so on my Nexus 10 though... the extra weight isn't too nice, and it even seems to slide in my hands a bit.
I would prefer the buttons to stay where they are in portrait mode permanently, as that's what I'm used to on my s2
I've only had it a few hours and landscape seems to be winning out atm
I use portrait for Web pages, and magazines and documents and most apps
Landscape for games and videos

Landscape everything here, portrait just feels to cramped to me

Agreed!
Does it feel too heavy and uncomfortable in portrait?
For me, portrait mode feels better for internet browsing, magazine reading and news reading than landscape. You just see more browsing in portrait than in landscape (although it is typically smaller).
I use portrait sometimes when browsing the web. Some websites just don't work properly in landscape (scale to fit width and I can't zoom out)
Pretty mixed varying on site or app that I'm using. I prefer typing in portrait.
I use landscape exclusively unless I'm browsing the web, in which case I feel like portrait definitely allows me to see more of the websites I'm on. Also when I'm reading in the kindle app I'll go portrait.

Landscape everything except ebooks and magazines for me. Web browsing is a zillion times better in landscape IMO.
I use mine in potrait 99% of the time. I find that with the high resolution, potrait works better and allows me to see more of the web page, and I surf / read 99% of the time.
Landscape just seem too cramp these days.

Not if you're holding it right
Nexus 7 is better in portrait unless your gaming... Nexus 10 isn't too comfortable in portrait for me.
Always landscape but I read comics in portrait mode.
I like it but the volume buttons are backwards when you're in portrait.

90% of my use is in portrait as a browser, email, google voice ect. 10% is landscape for youtube or games.
PS. I <3 my N10.
I like portrait mode for websites but when I scroll really fast there's a wave effect. Because of this i view almost everything in landscape. Is it just me or do you guys and gal see that too?
Go to a website in portrait and use your thumb to scroll up and down in the same spot really quick. Do you see it? The slight wave effect?
Edit: found info on this effect.

After doing a quick google, it seems common with higher resolution displays. I wonder if the GPU could be tweaked to fix this....

[Q] Video Orientation Problem

I have a couple of videos in my gallery that are not in the correct orientation when I play them back.
I guess I was holding my S4 strangely while I was capturing them?
Is there a way to change the orientation back?
The videos I want to change playback in portrait mode even though I took them in landscape mode.
I'm running Hyperdrive 8.1, rooted.
I used the stock Camera app for capture and the stock Video app for playback.
There's an app in the play store called "Rotate". Get the paid version (I think its $1.99) this will allow you to set different rotation on a per app basis. There are a bunch of options (global, forced, auto, portrait, landscape, reverse portrait, reverse landscape, ect.....) It even allow you to control your lock screen as well. A lot of great options in this app.

Youtube full screen portrait mode??

A lot of videos shot with smartphone are in portrait mode. press the full screen will bring you to the landscape. I used to use an app in xposed. but now I am on stock 5.0.2 with root. And xposed seems not working with LB yet.
Just want to ask see if you guys have any other solution for watching the full screen video on youtube in portrait mode.

Issues with landscape mode on Nokia 7 Plus

My 7 plus (TA-1062) is running on Oreo 8.1.0. The problem is if I try to watch a movie or video on an apps like Google chrome on landscape mode, the rotation-lock doesn't allow to lock the screen on landscape mode. It's either portrait mode or the auto-rotation mode. If the phone tilts a bit, the landscape mode goes back to portrait mode. Is there any solution to this?
