Why is the screen smaller than for instance Nexus 5X? - HTC 10 Questions & Answers

I am coming from a Nexus 5X device and just wondering about something. It seems that the display on my HTC 10 is conceived as smaller than my previous Nexus 5X despite the fact that the resolution is larger on the HTC 10, why is that? What am I missing?
I have a webpage I go to that has a table. On my Nexus 5X when I rotate to landscape, the table shows as as a whole table (with all the coloums in one row). But on the HTC 10 I get the same look on the table in landscape as in portrait, i.e. one column pr row.

Welcome to Quad HD buddy

So what you're saying is that this is just how it is? No workarounds?

What browser are you using, I don't have that issue, its scales just fine in landscape using Chrome and CM Browser.

I have tried 3 different browsers but the problem isn't scaling but that the server/client chooses "wrong" view in the responsive CSS...

what's the website?
I just tried Craigslist main page. It scales large in landscape and im able to pinch to see entire page( minus scrolling)

I just don't see what's the difference between this phone and my old Nexus 5X, if anything it should be there other way around.. The site is bane.kappif.no

I think the screen is bigger than my 5x because of no softkeys taking up room in screen.
Much Better i think

You're kind of missing my point though..

Graphical glitches in browser

Has anyone else spotted graphical glitches in the address bar when pages are loading. The letters disappear and are replaced with a garbled mixture of green and black pixels at the left of the screen.
Difficult to capture unfortunately

My device does similar but with a few white pixels and is on anything that is using the GPU, so basically everything lol. Might be your phone as I haven't found anyone with my issue

Are you sending yours back

Yeah I've had this on the stock browser, the words go all distorted for a few seconds. I guess its a bug within the internet app as its only happened on the browser for me.

As long as its not just me, I feel a bit more comfortable. Doesn't bother me I would just be worried that it is indicative of an underlying graphics problem

I get the exact same thing...more of a visual nuisance than anything else really...I don't let that bother me as much as the fact that WiFi at home stops working randomly with full bars and connection status showing as Good...

Happened to me a couple of times. Only happens with stock browser. I use chrome so not a big issue.
indeed, why not try a different browser like Dolphin HD or Chrome? Dolphin has some serious speed improvements in its current beta, and thus soon in its official update. Video comparison: http://lifehacker.com/5919626/dolphin-browser-gets-even-faster-is-still-the-best-browser-on-android

Portait or landscape?

I know i like Portait mode myself, but what do you guys use most?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Landscape.
portrait mode almost exclusively.
I always use portrait but since the nexus logo on the back is sideways you almost wonder if Google wants people to use it in landscape

It's a tablet, not a phone... so, landscape for me...
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I like auto rotate.
Landscape, always!
So far depends on what I'm doing with it. Of course it's my first tablet ever as well so I'm still figuring things out.
Landscape for a tablet !
Landscape is harder to type on IMO opinion so if i have to type i usually just swivel it around and back again.

Indeed so. Subtle tips. Cause you'll notice it's in portrait on the original.
Personally, 95% landscape, 5% portrait.
Landscape always except for a couple of stupid apps that don't support it.
I actually find I flip it around a lot, depending on what I'm doing. I don't make sure my home screens always work in both orientations, which can be a challenge at times, but it forces me to get creative.

Both. Just depends on what I'm doing

Though I use my 10.1" tablet exclusively in landscape mode, I fond myself using the Nexus 7 (2013) mostly in portrait mode. Watching video or playing games being the main exception. When I'm in bed sometime I'll hold in in landscape also.
I though I was going to be holding it in landscape like it's bigger brother, but that's not the case.
Portrait, feels like I'm holding a book. Landscape for videos though obviously.

Portrait for the most part. Even on the web.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Portrait 80%
Landscape 20%
I used my 2012 Nexus 7 almost exclusively in portrait, I hated using it landscape. With this one though, I have found myself using landscape more and more. I think the larger bezels help and make it easier for me to reach 100% of the screen if I'm going two hands.
If I am one handing the device though,I generally use portrait. I think a lot of the reason I use landscape is to help differentiate from my portrait phone. I have also been playing a lot of games so I might have adapted so I can rotate less

Portrait most of the time and landscape for videos only. Because I'm not a retard. Lmao.

Try this: Boot your Nexus 7 2013 in landscape with the volume buttons facing down.

Do you see a graphics glitch?

Yes, just as the lock screen comes up, but then it seems fine. Strange.
BS...
u mean with the screen facing the ground? or the volume buttons near the ground, im confused, maybe a pic/vid would help
The launcher FC'd but after acknowledging the event everything is fine.
A video showing the issue being reproduced may be useful so we can identify it.
The second time I tried this I noticed when the glowing x was about to be replaced with the lock screen the x dropped to the bottom center of the display, as if the height on the display was two times the actual size.

Hold the tablet in a way that the micro USB port is on the left side.

I got the glitch, but it didn't really seem to affect anything on mine. It straightened itself out almost immediately and the normal lock screen came up.
I noticed this glitch today, but like the others said it doesn't really matter much since it corrects itself right away.
I wouldn't call it a "glitch", more like an annoyance, that happens to the Nexus 7(2012) as well. The bootanimation/logo is supposed to be portrait, but as the tablet start up it tries to move to landscape mode, but since it's a portrait image it moves that way, making it look like something's wrong but it's not. You can change the lockscreen to not rotate and stay in portrait or don't hold it landscape while it boots up, in that way you won't see it again.
Edit: Also happens to the brightness level, it's just the tablet starting up.

camera viewfinder lag since kit kat

anyone else notice that the camera viewfinder starts off fine.... then lags behind atleast 1 to 2 seconds from what you're actually looking at? For example, you'll move from left to right and you won't see it on the screen until a second after.

M8 touch screen issue/question

When I'm either in tapatalk of a forum in chrome when I scroll the screen lags at first then jumps to catch up. But it scrolls fine it's just when I first start to scroll. But it didn't happen on regular websites. Had anyone else had this happen? Is there a fix? Thanks
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
Tapatalk is slow. That initial stutter is there on all phones. It is only for XDA that I use Tapatalk as I need to keep track of various devices and it is easier with Tapatalk. For most other forums, I simply use browser and mobile version of the forum /site. Content loading, scrolling is not as quick as it should be in Tapatalk. It is only because of the features Tapatalk offers that makes it a valuable tool.
