While viewing Youtube TV in portrait or landscape mode it will constantly revert from picture to showing picture with play/pause controls. I have to hit the X in top right corner to clear the controls. With my other Android devices it doesn't happen. Rotating from portrait to landscape just shows the picture without control buttons. I don't have to hit the X to clear the control buttons. Youtube is not as bad. But I still have to hit the X at the top right once to clear the control buttons and then going from portrait to landscape shows as it should. Does anyone else have this issue with this phone?

Noticed that in at least a couple of apps I installed last night (Words with Friends was one) that when it runs, it forces a portrait orientation that is bizarre. If your typical Portrait is a quarter-turn clockwise from Landscape with the power switch at top left, then this portrait is completely upside down from that, so that your power button would be on the bottom. There was at least one more that did this, perhaps Waze(?) but just wondered if there was a setting to unlock the accelerometer on apps like this...once it starts, it doesn't matter what direction you spin the tablet.
TIA
I can't find a reason about why this can't be possible. I want to know if there's a way to take landscape photos in portrait mode (holding the device vertical) on S3.
I was testing this program "Shot Control" it gives you some controllers in the screen, you have half of the screen to see the photo preview, considering the size of the S3 screen it was not a bad layout, but I'll love to have the same possibility holding the device in portrait (vertically) having the preview on top, controls down and taking pictures in landscape.
Is there a program to allow this?
I search over and I saw some solutions for iphone but pretty much nothing for us, here's a related topic:

Anyone?
Viewing a video that was recorded in landscape while holding the phone vertically completely stretches the video to fit the screen instead of just displaying a small landscape video in the middle of the screen.
Any idea why it's doing this?
Its called stretch to fit. Tap bottom left corner and you can change the viewing mode.
I pretty much feel like a ass right now. Smh. Thanks
I have a nasty problem recording video with my samsung devices (seems to be all of them from S3 to my Note 4)
it adds a rotation tag or some sort to the video. if you start a video with an "unclear" orientation (say flat screen up point straight down) this problem becomes apparent.
or if you hold the phone upright portrait and record a video but then turn it landscape it "keeps" the video in portrait for playback (yes this includes once I upload to youtube extremely annoying)
I will record a video normally and it will be "vertical video" (portrait) instead of landscape like I am holding it.
or as with today the video was rotated 180' upside down.
Is there an app I can install that will let me strip/reset this rotation tag so all my videos playback "landscape" proper and not 90' or 180' ? ie let me "correct" the dumb meta tag rotation tag or whatever it is samsung adds to the video causing it to do this.?
Hello,
so I noticed that the default YouTube had a button with two arrows, that when viewing videos in landscape mode you could press, so that video zooms in a bit, so there is no black bars on the sides.
But with YouTube app update the button disappeared!
1. So have you noticed it?
2. And what can be done about it, or who could be contacted about it?
To view videos with truly full screen was really nice! I want that back!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In new youtube version, It become "pinch to stretch"
Try to pinch your screen like you want to do zoom, it will become full screen
