[Q] Default orientation and time to full charge - Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How long does it take with default charger to go from 0 to 100 battery?
Also, does someone knows whats the natural orientation of the tablet? Nexus 7 is portrait and Nexus 10 is landscape, what about the 9? I would say landscape but im not sure.

The charging time is also one of my very few concerns. Hope they have a power charger with more then 2,5Amps.
The product images are mostly in portrait, but I think, everything will flip, so there is not really a default orientation.

From http://android-developers.blogspot.de/2014/10/getting-your-apps-ready-for-nexus-6-and.html:
"The Nexus 9’s natural orientation is portrait mode, while it’s used in landscape mode with the keyboard. If you lock to the device’s natural orientation, the app may appear sideways for devices with keyboards."

An Android device always have a "natural" orientation and this affects some stuff (es the orientation the device has when its booting)

Light sensor

Hi members.
The live with walkway has got a light sensor. Why has Sony disabled automatic use of this sensor. I can't find an option to enable it.

Well as far as I know the brightness adjustment it's always there and there's no way to turn it off.
Weird I know because you can change the light intensity under the screen options and the sensor it's not able or at least not in any of the roms I tried with this option to completely and automatically adjust the brightness.
You can complain to sony it is they doing.

When it is always there and active, then it isn't function.
In service menu I can test the light sensor. The values change when I put my finger over it.
But in normal phone use the brightness doesn't change. When I put my finger over the sensor then it should reduce the brightness.

Brightness does change, but the difference is quite small.
Sometimes, you might see screen light a bit vibrating/flashing, that is because of the light sensor.

I hated that brightness sensor. At first i tought the screen was about to expire. Used this app (i think it needs root) to dissable the auto brightness

Tilted videos and photos

Hi,
all the photos and videos i take in portrait orientation are showing fine on the S3, but are tilted on my laptop regardless which program i use.
Thats annoying, my previous iphone and One X didn´t do that?
What can i do?
thx, nearly
Am I the only one?

I just found out, that the photos do alright if you use the normal 8mp setting. I had mine set to 16:9 and then rotation doesn't work on the PC.
For video, it just doesn't work. I just wonder what that greed out flipped-setting is supposed for.?

I also have this problem, I'm pretty sure we all do.
Btw, in my case photos taken with 8MP portrait were also rotated on the PC. Pictures can be easily rotated back on windows, so it's not an issue. Videos are the real problem.
The reason, as far as I know, is poor handling of Samsung with portrait videos/pictures. Apparently, the S3 adds a metadata header of 90 degrees rotation, instead of really rotating the picture/video. Most video players on PC aren't aware of this header, hence the video is shown rotated.
I don't think Samsung will fix this, so there are two ways to workaround it:
1. Shoot video in landscape mode
2. Use an application to rotate the Video, then send it.
Is it gone with the recent Ota?

Import Ambient Display from Oxygen to CM12.1?

I really liked Ambient Display on Oxygen. Just swiping above the proximity sensor would light the screen up. On CM12.1 ambient display barely works at all. Is it possible to install an apk or flash a zip to get ambient display working like on oxygen?
Take a look at gravity screen app in PlayStore

I am using it for now, but sometimes all I need is to check the time and ambient display looks so good on this phone
give it some time. the option is there it just does not work yet as it should. I'm also waiting for this!
I have Ambient Display with AcDisplay App. Better than stock and more settings.

Facebook issue on M5 Pro 10. 8"

There are some issue with Facebook when using in landscape mode for M5 pro.
Example
Pic1 : Comments are not shown when using in landscape mode.
Pic2 : Tap on the post and there are 40 comments
Pic3 : Rotate to portrait and is shows those comments (the orientation looks weird)
Pic4 : Rotate back to landscape and finally shows those comments
Means I need to rotate to portrait once for every post when I need to read the comments or use the tab in portrait when use FB which is not M5 pro design.

I noticed this problem with the 8.4 version too. I suspect it could be due to the fact that the tablet is confused to if it is a phone or a tablet. The workaround is go to Settings and play around with View Mode until it displays in a way that you are happy with.

It could also be the QHD screen that is causing problem with the way that FB app draws elements in the wrong size. However I do not have this problem with my Axon 7 phone which also is a QHD screen.

Android layouts can work on the basis of DPI, so resolution AND aspect ratio come into play - not just resolution. Does your Axon 7 have the same 16:9 (or is it 16:10?) ratio as the M5, in landscape mode?

Good point.
However the problem by OP is more towards incorrect rendering of the elements in the app, the main news feed on the left is too narrow while suggested friends on the right is too wide. I am not saying it is totally the fault of the tablet, it could be the fault of the app. However it cannot be discounted that the tablet itself is confused if it is a phone or not, which may not may not lead to problems in the app as well.

True, maybe its will identified itself as a trans later... :laugh:
I have the same issue. I always have it with facebbok.
Other apps start just in landscape other shows even funny behavoiur. If you have time install the app Androidiani (the app of one Italian Android forum/blog) : i never see something worst.
The same apps work perfectly in all my other devices

I believe every tablet have ui problems for FB apps especially the landscape mode and fb doesn't seem to care.
In addition, the PAGE page cannot be viewed in landscape orientation but it would forced rotated to portrait
Complain to fb and hope that they will fix it.
But I don't think they ever will..

Screen burn in from fingerprint

Guys is there any chance of screen burn in from the in display fingerprint? The fingerprint icon always shows up on screen, is there any way of changing it or removing it?
Your can deactivate it. It's on the same setting screen where you register your fingerprints... It then doesn't show the icon Everytime you slightly move the phone but only when you touch the sensor itself...
