Wtaching videos in landscape - Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers

I'm noticing a slight problem that's kind of annoying but if you're watching a YouTube video in portrait mode and tilt it over to landscape, does your phone screen slightly dims? I'm also noticing that in another video app.

[Q] Display lag issue

I just saw this video demonstrating how the A500 display can lag when not held in standard portrait orientation.

I'm wondering if any of the devs on here are working on a solution? Perhaps a better video driver?

[Q] Camera screen scrolling and distorted

I first noticed this after I had a very hot lamp too close to my phone while it was in a tripod and recording myself for an Indiegogo campaign video. The video sceen was highly distrorted and before that it was scrolling. Like what you see in older TV shows or movies when they record a computer screen or tv moniter. The screen will scroll up or down.
I was recording mself with my Surface RT tablet on in the background and the screen starting scrolling before becoming distrorted. (NOT the Surface RT screen as viewed on my camera like the example of recording TV moniters or computer screens. The Surface RT screen looked normal through my phone's screen and in the final video.) There is no distorting or problems with the videos or photos I took during the crazy screen or after. So I assume the camera hardware itself is ok. And at that time my phone was VERY hot.
Today I was recording myself agian on the tripod without the hot lamp. It was in the tripod for only 2 minutes when the screen started to scroll up again. This time it wasn't hot at all.
If I exit the camera app and re-enter it is fine. So far this happened only twice and only in the camera app regardless if it is in the video or photo mode.
Did I damage the phone or is this a known problem? Any ways to fix this?
Have you tried any other camera app from market?

No, but I will now. Also, it just did it a third time now. but I was holding the camera vertially and it went sideways this time. Also funny thing is my Google Play freezes 50% of the time when I click on an app to view it before I download it.

I had this problem when I flashed a kernel that was JSS for a ROM built on JWR firmware. Have you flashed any kernels? If so double check with your ROM provider about what base was it built on, JSS or JWR. Then double check with the kernel and flash the appropriate one. If you haven't flashed a kernel then i have no idea what is wrong. You may want to reflash the ROM assuming that you are using a custom ROM.

Peculiar behaviour on Apex 2

Hello guys, I'm not sure whether it's a system issue or an app creating the problem but I can't seem to be able to locate the source. All I know is that its symptoms are the following: when the money watching a video on YouTube on landscape mode it forces portrait mode and pauses the video (or vice versa, I'm not 100% sure which is which, I'm holding the phone from the top and the bottom) same when I'm playing game in landscape mode, it forces portrait mode. Also when I was on kik with the keyboard on, it was behaving like it was restarting it momentarily, pulling it down and then up again.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing it?

Anyone noticing slight pause in YouTube after rotation?

I just noticed on my 6P that while playing a video in YouTube full-screen, if I rotate the screen 180 degrees, there is a slight pause or interruption in the audio. I doesn't appear to be a Marshmallow issue because my Nexus 6 on the same connection rotates without any pauses. (Same thing with a Note5 and LG V10.)
Does this happen to anyone else? Easiest way to check is to open the YouTube app and play a music video full-screen, since any pause or interruption in the audio will be easily noticed.
Nothing here.
No pause on mine. I have heard else where that the pause is from the left and right speakers switching to the proper side as you flip the phone over.

I guess that could be a possibility, but even so I wouldn't expect a noticeable pause. Also, I would expect something similar to happen on the Nexus 6, but it doesn't.
After playing with it a bit more, I actually noticed that if I rotate from portrait to landscape (with top of phone to the left) back and forth, there is no pause. It is actually the rotation from portrait to landscape (with top of phone to the right) where the pause occurs. (And again, rotation from landscape to reverse landscape pauses.)
I also let my phone sit for a bit to "cool down" just in case the SD810 was throttling, but I still see the pausing.

Netflix app bug or screen defect?

I've noticed that when streaming Netflix video on my 6P, initially, during lower resolution playback as HD video is building up a buffer, some horizontal bands can be seen on the screen within sections that are displaying gray and black colors. It lessens as the video t transitions to HD playback. It is particularly noticeable when I touch the screen during playback, and the controls like rewind and pause come up on the screen. On the top and bottom of the screen, where the screen darkens, I see horizontal lines/bands within the dark screen animation. This is retained to a lesser degree, even when HD playback is occurring, and I touch the screen to bring up the playback controls. I don't notice this problem of seeing the horizontal lines/band during video playback on other apps, such as YouTube, Hulu, and Amazon Instant Video. I also don't see the lines/bands on the screen during any other times when using the phone.
Could other US Netflix users test out Netflix playback on their phones to see if they're also experiencing this problem?
Maybe, it's a matter of the Netflix app not being optimized for the 6P yet and having some bugs.
I'm hoping that this is not indicative of a screen defect.
Thank you for anyone who can provide any input on this issue.
I haven't seen this issue reported by anyone else yet.

I've used some apps to test gradient banding for the screen, and I haven't detected banding when performing the tests...
