Does the lte have the ability to view the home screen in landscape mode?
Not by itself. If you use an MHL adapter or the Media Link, it goes landscape, but thats it.
1) Download "rotation locker" from the Play Store
2) Open the app, when the popup menu appears HOLD DOWN on Auto
3) The app will vanish and should remain running in the background (see your notification?)
4) Landscape Rosie!
Be sure to disable for camera as it makes it a weird rotation! Mileage will vary on other apps.

When using my Archos 70, I find out that the screen orientation is somehow strange.
1st - I like to use it in portrait. However, I cannot make the screen 'lock' to portrait orientation. The 'lock' feature only supports landscape orientation
2nd - Even in portrait mode, when using some apps, the orientation is inverted (such as z4root). Seems Archos makes the default portrait position to be like 'power button at the bottom and the USB at the top). However..... I think most of you will agree that we all like the power button AT THE TOP.
So, is there a way to fix the orientation (default) to portrait, with power button at the top?
Thanks for your help.
1. Yes lock is Landscape, that has to do with the stand.
2. This has to do with the way android works. Normaly view is stopped and started again with the new orientation by the os. But the developer can tell Android that it handöes this switch itself and then the app is responsible for thee switching.
So there is no way atm to change this.
Whenever I use an application (on my A101) that only works in portrait mode, the power button is always at the top.
So far I have tried with Twonky and z4root.
edit: oh, and I believe some of the launchers available will let you lock screen in portrait mode ... try Launcher Pro or ADW
This is a minor annoyance but sometimes I just want to open my camera app and browse photos while my phone is laying on my desk, but when I open the camera app it automatically goes landscape mode and I have to pick the phone up to get it back to portrait. Any body know of a way to cancel this auto-landscape feature in the camera app?
Edit: Just realized I could just go to the "photos" app directly and bypass the camera. This opens in portrait. But also adds another icon to my homescreen. I'd like to just use the camera icon for all of this, so still would like to hear any ideas anyone has
In settings > display and gestures do you have Auto rotation checked?
Mine opens in portrait.
I'm writing a Progressive Web App, and I'm having trouble with the behaviour of Chrome on Android wrt how videos go into and out of fullscreen mode.
On mobile safari, it all seems to make sense:
1. if not in fullscreen, pressing 'play' turns it fullscreen, in either orientation.
2. there's also a button to make it fullscreen, which does as it says.
3. if you rotate the phone while in any mode, it stays in that mode - fullscreen in portrait switches to fullscreen in landscape, and vice versa...similarly if not in fullscreen. The only notable thing that happens is that a progress bar appears after you rotate the phone.
On Android, however...
1. while not in fullscreen, rotating works ok..it just stays non-fullscreen.
2. pressing play, does not cause it to go fullscreen (unlike on mSafari).
3. if you go fullscreen, in either orientation, then switch orientation, then it drops out of fullscreen mode, and you get all the controls pop up again.
4. if, while in landscape, you have the video non-fullscreen, and tap the fullscreen control, it will go fullscreen, but it also rotates the video to portrait.
I wonder if anyone knows how to make the Android/Chrome behaviour more like the mSafari behaviour. I guess the key things are to stay in fullscreen even if the phone is rotated, and to allow fullscreen landscape.
Any ideas?
Max.
For testing, I'm using iPhone X on 12.3.1, and Pixel 2, Android 9, PIxel 2 Build/PQ3A.190705.001 chrome 75.0.3770.101
I stumbled on this trick by accident, i could not get the dual screen to open any apps in windowed mode until i installed Sentio desktop on the phone, the app opens in landscape mode only and can display across both screens, if you add app shortcuts to the top of the screen and click on them, those apps will open in windowed mode on the dual screen. Sentio will crash in the background on the dual screen and goes to recent apps, but the windowed apps stay open on top.. works nicely if you want to multitask in landscape mode like using your main screen for the keyboard and pop back and forth between apps on the dual screen.
Just install
Taskbar
Latest version 6.0
Anyone know if it's possible to always open the app (assuming the user has an app open) in side-by-side mode when unfolding?
Presumably this would need to be done with Tasker...
for that I use "Split Screen Launcher" in the play store BY paprikanotfound
*note sometimes it might be glitchy if one app was already open. but its a good enough way.
Actually you can do this natively by launching the apps in split-screen, then taking the splitter and saving to the home screen.
What I want though is for the app that your currently using in fold mode - when you unfold it automatically is on the left side of the screen and the home-screen shows on the right ready for you to launch a second app...
in that case you might be able to do it by using a new profile
choose State > Display Orientation > Landscape
then create a task for it search for split screen toggle and voila
*note this require my xml file

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
unfortunately using custom launcher breaks the default split screen shortcuts at least on my device.
