[Q] s note in landscape? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My note 2 won't let me sketch in s note in landscape.... Why? Thoughts? On 4.1.1 stock

That is to say, it won't display a full landscape screen in s note. Keeps the portrait style instead of full

No one else has this?

Nope. In fact, you won't find landscape mode in the S-Note app on Galaxy Note 2. The best solution would be to rotate the device as you would normally and zoom in to emulate the landscape mode.

4.2 camera rotation lag

Does anyone else have lag when rotating the new camera in 4.2? Its really annoying and it seems ridiculous that google would release it like this.

They only had to rotate 2 little icons... can't understand why they had to apply fullscreen rotation to camera.

Exactly, i thought it was just a bug when i tried the 4.2 apk. I just figured it was due to it being for the nexus 4, i was pissed when i saw that it carried over to the official release.
Please star this issue in to get it recognized by Google:

Everyone make sure you're just starring. No comments. Comments spam everyone that has starred it.
Android Dev about this:
"Unfortunately this is working correctly. The new app has to let the system rotate so that when you swipe over to view recently taken pictures the status bar, action bar, and navigation bar are in the correct orientation. Otherwise you have the bad transition into/out of camera that was in 4.1. We will try to make it faster and more responsive, certainly, but currently this is a "lesser of two evils" sort of thing."

Well lets hope the magic google devs make the animation faster without seeing laggy animation.
This is extremely boneheaded and annoying. The stock Samsung camera -- and every other intelligently coded camera -- only rotates the HUD, not the damn preview image.
Just. Plain. Stupid.
Maybe the new boss of Android will realize this...
Yeah, its the first thing i noticed.
Can i just flash the camera apk from JB 4.1 on 4.2.2?
I turned off auto rotation and it fixes the laggy camera rotation problem. But if you want to view your photo in landscape you have to turn the Auto Rotation back on. I dont use my phone in landscape very often, if at all. So leaving the auto rotation off hasnt been a big deal for me. If there was a way to just turn the rotation off in the camera only, that would be nice.
Glad I'm not the only one noticing this.

This is stupid, how the hell can you take landscape photos?

I always have auto-rotation off.
I can confirm 100% that the camera still takes landscape photos, as it still senses which way is down. But you don't get the rotation animation which slows the app.
The worst thing is that it doesn't need to lag that badly. The nexus 4 is quite quick in rotating the camera app. Thought it is just raw procwssor power at first,but my nexus 10 also is slow as hell in that category. Well,guess we will have to hope that key lime pie will not end in the 4.2 fiasco...

Different graphics processors handle drawing calls differently.

nexus 7 rotates pretty damn quick even though it's just the front camera. that's odd the N10 is slow.

Photo Orientation

I've switched many times between the Nexus 4 and Note 2. I love the note 2 but am wondering if there is and kind of fix for photo orientation. I had a Iphone and take pics in portrait mode. The Nexus 4 acts the same. The Note 2 rotates the photo into landscape when I send a photo. Is there a mod out there besides editing in photo editor? Thanks

[Q] Zinio Mags in Landscape mode?

Hi,
just wondering if any of you guys use Zinio for Magazines in their new nexus.
If so, are u able to read the font in landscape mode (two page mode)?
Is the txt crisp enough with the new enhanced resolution?
Thanks.

I use Zinio on my FHD, but normally read in portrait mode. You can read the text in landscape but it's tiny. I can barely see it with my glasses on, but it isn't pixelated at all that I can tell.

[Q] Reverse portrait orientation

Is there a way to reverse the default portrait orientation of the Note 10.1 2014?
I like holding the device in portrait with the buttons on the right and some programs that require you to run in portrait always flip the screen 180 degrees making it upside down. Amazon music, Bejewled 2, dropbox are some examples. Ive found a few apps that can force reverse portrait, but does anyone know if the default orietation can be set with a flag somewhere? im rooted
thank you
I use this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ui.robot.rotate
or this one : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlecode.eyesfree.setorientation
very good app to force orientation screen.

portrait mode by default

Hey,
There's any way we can have the camera in portrait by default? I mean it takes 2 pictures anyway so if we want the one without portrait we just need to swipe left... This because a lot of the times I forget to put the portrait mode on.
So anyone knows if there's any chance to have portrait mode as default in camera? Just jump in it with double power button and take a fast picture and it will be in portrait.
Cheers
Not that I know of. If anything, it would be nice if it was a quick tap away like flash and HDR options. Personally, I wouldn't want it as default because it crops a lot.

If you use Tasker with the plugin "AutoInput", you can get it to tap on the menu button to reveal the sidebar and then tap the portrait mode option.
I know, not the "cleanest" way of doing things but it's still less tapping/work for you!
