I'm a consultant... ask me anything... I'll run away.

If your talking about the black bar below the status bar. I never noticed it on my N2 until you pointed it out now. I wonder if its just how the youtube app manages the screen real estate in portrait mode. I'll try it with my old Mytouch 4g later.

Thank you! It's just a horrid feeling looking at the dang thing

Well! I just tested my Note 2 and my old Mytouch 4g side by side running both videos at the same time on Youtube. Started playing the video on portrait mode then switching to landscape and then back to portrait. And found that the Note 2 was the only one that had that black bar after switching back to portrait. I also checked both version numbers on the phones and both were the same.

Any way to reverse front camera?

So when I look at myself using the front facing camera it looks right. Then when I snap the picture it flips. On my EVO it did not do this. I looked in the settings to see if it was something I could change but I did not see anything. This is really annoying to me.
Am I missing it or is there a workaround out there?

The flip is to adjust it like a mirror.
Have you not figured it out?

What? My previous phone did not do this. I just want this phone to exhibit the same behavior.

The front camera shows a mirror image, but when you take a pic it takes it as the camera sees it, so you are actually taking a self portrait.
IIRC, the Evo would always take a mirror image with the front camera.
So are you saying you want to take a pic with your front camera and see it as a mirror image? The camera won't do this that I can see, but you can easily flip the pic with the photo editor app that comes on the E4GT.

Why do you want such a feature? O_ o.... that makes absolutely no sense to me, when you can just take the image you took, and flip it with any or current pic editor, i understand that you might want it automated, but..er.. what i don't get is why would you want such a feature lol.
Look for my fixed camera in the apps and themes forum. The international galaxy s2 has this as an option. The zip I posted will give you what your looking for.
This bugs me as well...

Thanks.... Your modified camera fixed it! Also, like that when selecting the focus point, the flash lights up to capture focus. I didnt see that feature in the stock camera but its nice for taking a picture in dim lit areas where it can be hard to focus.

Netflix Full Screen

Haven't seen this mentioned yet but does it bother anyone else that the nav buttons don't disappear in netflix? they do fade away but the video doesn't become full screen like in youtube. I guess this is a matter of netflix updating the app to make use of the GN screen?

Correct. The only way it'll be able to do that is when Netflix updates it's app to add in ICS functionality. That's all there is to it.
niice. they just updated Netflix for GN full screen glory =)

Came hear to say this

One finger zoom.

How can you disable this function?
I just want to scroll and not zoom when I slide my finger up and down on the left side. I have looked every where for a setting to disable this annoyance..

I actually just noticed this when trying to highlight text in an email...I use chrome and it doesn't zoom with the one finger so I never noticed it, 2 weeks later and still learning about this phone lol
my guess is that you have one-handed operation on. If you take that off I bet it will stop zooming with one finger.
Still does it with one hand operation off.

Cool I can zoom with one finger. Love this feature now since I only scroll from the middle of the screen.
Still no disabling of this feature?
One Finger Zoom
It is a simple to use application to ZOOM on your images with a simple touch, while maintaining the resolution of your images. One tap to zoom and move in different areas of the picture! All the details, with the original resolution, are now at your (one) finger, one touch and there you go!
you can download it from Slideme Market
Spam ^^ . Dolphin beta doesn't have the slide zoom thankfully.
Still can't figure out how to stop the scrolling on edges....

Thank goodness for AOSP. I'm on AOKP and couldn't stand this feature on Stock based roms.

I don't have any of the one handed options enabled and it zooms for me from one finger near the edge of the screen.

Full Screen Flash Video In Browser

SOoo I often use first row sports to stream different sporting events. When I click to fullscreen in the browser window I can still hear sound but the whole screen goes black.....I have flash installed and am using Firefox.

Do you have auto rotation enabled? I modded my Firefox to automatically enable it and then after I hit the full screen button and rotate me phone the picture comes back.

Thanks for the reply. I do have Auto-rotation enabled, I just cant figure it out at all, the streams will play fine if I rotate my phone and zoom it to screen size, but not if I try to play it as a full screen video.

[Q] Any way to fix updated Youtube app bug?

I am using a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S4 with Wicked v5.1 Rom, and I have consistently experienced an issue with the updated YouTube app. Every time I watch a video in landscape mode and then turn it into portrait mode, a black bar appears between the status bar and the YouTube search bar. The bar doesn't go away even in landscape mode. The only way to make it go away is to exit the app, but the black bar always comes back. It really is quite annoying. I know that others have the same issue as I do because of what I have read on the Internet. Does anyone have any suggestions? I really hope that Google fixes this.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks!
I love the new UI.
But is it the latest version?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
As of yesterday when it was released.
I've noticed similar problem with this version as well. You can see it on top of the title/menu bar.

I should mention that I've tried other roms like GE and they don't have that problem. I think it's TW related.
Here is the before and after the portrait/landscape/portrait turns.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
Both old and new versions have the same fck bug. Its ridiculous. A version before those 2 was fine....
I am on infamous roms and when in landscape mode I can't even view the seek/status bar! I have to go to portrait making it smaller then tap the vid box again to see how far through a vid I am or seek back and forth... I read one other review on Google apps play market so I know it's not just my rom, but there must be something up with the gs3 not letting me view this bar all the time.
