Seriously, who uses it in landscape, except for video. That's just weird.

Agreed. I use portrait if I'm watching something or in rare occasions want to read something in landscape. It's too hard to type in landscape.

I use mine mostly for watching videos and surfing the net so it's always in landscape mode.

Interesting. I came from a 10 inch tab that was setup for landscape. I grew accustomed to it and carried it over to the Nexus. Now holding it in portrait seems weird. .

Landscape ... Potrait us way too wierd.....

Is there an fps drop while in landscape mode?

Coming from galaxy note on JB whenever i switch to landscape mode whether it is in the browser, you tube, music player, there is a CLEAR AND NOTICEABLE drop in fps that decrease smoothness compared to portrait mode. Is the nexus users experiencing this also or is it just a not problem?

I've actually noticed this too but the transparency isn't helping my cause
I believe its because landscape uses more real estate than portrait.

[Q] App for filming horizontal while holding phone vertical

Is there an app that exist so I can hold the phone like a flip cam (vertical) but record in horizontal mode? Thanks

That would be hardware related (you'd still have black on the sides). However, on the software side, you could rotate the image. I know you can do this on Windows Live Movie Maker.:good:
yea I wish there was just a way to take the image vertically and convert it to horizontal on the camera. would make for a lot less vertical videos on the internet.

Yeah, would be a lot easier. There may be some Android movie making app which does what you want (at least after you take your clips). I'll let you know if I find anything.

How to get YouTube to rotate to landscape.

Hi folks. Finally got my new 2013 Nexus 7.
One problem I'm facing is when I have rotation locked to portrait, and use the YouTube app, whenever I full screen it, it scales to a portrait version.
I normally watch videos in bed and lay on my side, with the device held in portrait mode. When YouTube does that, things are messed up.
I hope you know what I mean.
How do I get it to automatically display full screen using all pixels when I have orientation locked?

I don't think it's possible. You need to turn on rotation if you want to watch YouTube videos in full screen. If you are in bed, turn on rotation, then rotate your device and lock it again.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah it seems really annoying to have to resort to this. While it works, its cumbersome.
They should have an option to toggle landscape mode while orientation locked, like most media players.

I don't think that's how it supposed to work. Same with my iPad.
There is an app for that: GMD Smart Rotate

If when in camera mode you rotate the screen and the icons twist?, it means they are just positioned that way, giving the impression that the app has actually changed from landscape to portrait or vice versa but its always taking pictures right side up.

Correct but i think it may have to do with your screencap app. or just basic method to keep aspect ratio at its max regardless of device angle?
looking at the screen captured, although the notification bar is landscape, the writing is portrait(right side up according to ). if by some chance the camera app was made for landscape mode and having portrait as a rotation feature it still takes pictures right side up, even if taken from the 270 degree rotation of the screen. so my question is where is the camera problems? what besides your screencap of your camera app ready to take a picture showing a rotated notification bar. how about this? when you enter camera is phone rotated? and also what of this screencap app? who makes it?
