[Q] youtube upside down on full screen - Galaxy Tab General

I'm on a galaxy tab 8.9, android 3.2
When watching video on full screen mode, I prefer holding the device rotated by 180 degrees (Samsung logo on top), so that the speakers are not blocked. but if I use the device to play youtube videos in full screen in this position, the video is displayed upside down - the actual position of the tablet is ignored. Is there a workaround for this?

Wrong forum mate, this is for GT-P1000, 7'' tab.
Try here.

Yes, just noticed that. Maybe you guys should rename it "Galaxy Tab 7" then...
Can an admin move this thread to the Galaxy Tab 8.9 forum, please?
In the meantime, is anybody on P1000 experiencing this as well?

[Q] Browser doesn't fit on screen

I've noticed that in landscape mode the standard browser is missing some pixels on the left hand side, as if it has been moved to the left and the left edge is missing. If I flip it 180° then the right edge is missing. It's like the browser app is 1300x800 while the screen resolution is 1280x800.
Has anyone else seen this? Is there a solution?
I'm surprised no one else has seen this problem, but I have finally got a reply from Acer support on this: "it seems to be a limitation of the software, though the new operating system 3.1 Honey Comb should be able to rectify this problem. This release will be out sometime durring june"

Video Output Problems

Hi everyone. I am having a few issues with the miniHDMI output. I just got a cable for it today, and these are the problems I am having:
- The spec sheet says the Transformer should be able to do 1080p output, but mine only does 720p. I read that this was to be fixed in Honeycomb 3.1, but I did the update and there is no difference.
- When displaying in 720p, the top, left, and right sides of the screen are all cut off. This makes browsing my RSS feeds in Pulse impossible in 720p, because when I go to read an article the article shows up on the right side of the screen and has about three letters cut off and unviewable. This also makes programs like AKNotepad unusable, since I cannot see the left side of anything I am typing. The TV I am outputting to supports up to 1080p, and I am in its native format (all the other options zoom in).
Are there any solutions for this?
No idea how to bump the output resolution but check to see if your TV supports different aspect ratios in the picture settings. For my LG and Samsung TVs at home the default 16:9 and 16:10 doesn't quite cut it, so i had to select an option called just scan, and it filled the screen properly then. It may also be called overscan correction as that would be the technical term for this.

[Q] Screen Flip

I use the Netflix and Slingplayer apps on my Galaxy Tab 10.1. Unlike many apps, they won't flip if you turn the tab upside down. If I'm looking at a long program or movie, it's nice to be able to keep the charger plugged into the tab, which is pretty much impossible with the tab in normal landscape orientation. Is there any technique or app available which will allow or force the screen to run upside down so I could attach the charging cable to the top?

Want this too
It would also have to force the audio to reverse, I think. Sometimes while using Splashtop to watch a video I'll have to charge the tab. While Splashtop will reorient the screen, it doesn't reverse the stereo speakers. This is a pretty device-specific issue, though, so I don't expect a rapid response from the Splashtop people (they still need to fix Bluetooth mouse support in remote sessions!).
Anyway, first world problems and all, but it would be nice to have a fix.

[Q] HDTV Adapter does not work when any camera app is running

Hi, I just bought the Samsung HDTV Adapter. The main reason I bought it is that I could see what the camera is watching while taking the photo or video. However, whenever I activate any camera app, there is a message on my Note's screen that "HDMI not available while application is running..."
Anybody knows the reason and how to fix it? Also, for unknown reason, approximately top 5% and bottom 5% of my Note's screen are not being displayed on my HDTV.For example, on the home screen, the top half of the time is not displayed.
For the second part - the Note's screen resolution is 1280x800 (16:10) which is a bit more than the usual 1280x720 mode (16:9) in HDTV. Your TV may have automatic adaptation of the picture turned on and is trying to fit the picture by cutting here and there.
I've yet to try using camera with the mhl adapter. Maybe later today.
...
OK, I've tried - same result as yours.

Android head unit (Portrait or landscape)

Hello, guys I am thinking to put tablet in to the cars radio head unit slot. I have thought of every aspect except one. I would like to put a tablet arround 10 inches and it would fit, but it would always be in portrait mode. How do you find that while using? I thought watching videos and all sort of stuff will be only middle half screen, is there an app or something that would help? Or is is better to put 8 inches tablet in landscape mode and not to worry? Thanks a lot for opinions.
landscape will be better for video, portrait will make the video smaller and its quite hard to see for the 2nd row seat to watch since the video is small.
