HD2 Landscape Mode in Album?

Hi!
Just recieved my HD2 and being a noob to this device, I presumed that if you flipped the device into landscape, the Album would rotate into landscape mode. Do I have to set anything up on the device to enable this?
Regards,
Alan

Have a look at the wonderful BsB Tweaks app. That has a menu option in there to allow rotation for the app(s) of your choice.
A quick search of the themes and apps section should find it.

I thought the album was already landscape???

I've assumed that he means when you click the "Albums" softkey. I seem to remember having to set mine up to rotate that, but could be wrong.

Albums flops between landcape and portraid whenever I do. I thought it was the deafult action ion both the 1.43 and 1.48 ROM and I haven't fopen anything I can rememebr to change it. This is to do with the arrangement of thumbnails. If the question is really about flipping the pictures in the album to Landscape then that's totally different

What I meant is that in some of the videos I had seen on the HD2, when the guy rotated the device in the album, it went into landscape mode (riverflow or something like that). I think that the music tab did the same....

They don't need setting up - they just work. (They do for me anyway)

That's photos and videos, available from your Home Screen Tabs and not Albums.

Well, I have tried it from the Album tab and the Album application and it does not rotate.....

What do you mean by album tab? Do you mean Photos & Videos?

The tab on the bottom of the screen... with the photo icon.... next to the music tab....

Yeah - that's photos & videos, not albums. #9Just to clear that up )
I take it you're holding the phone upright when you do this?
Sorry to ask that, but it's the only thing I can think of!

When you get into Photos and videos you just twist the phone, don't click on Albums or slideshow. Just in case their was any more confusion.

Thanks guys... I have sorted it.... it works now!

how did you figure it out? what did you do?

How comes pics don't roatate in landscape if you take them in potrait and visa versa? a la the iPhone? I took a picture in potrait and rotated my phone in landscape and nothing happened.

[Q] Another Nexus newbie with some questions!

Hi everyone, just had a Google nexus 10 for a couple of days now....first ever tablet PC / Android OS device - pretty experienced with PCs and Window but this is very different!
Getting on fine customising the setup and installing Apps etc, finding the solution most the time I get stuck here or elsewhere on the Interweb but there's a few minor things I just can't sort out.
I'll start with just a couple of questions and keep working on the other 'issues' myself for a while....
1) Music Player
I've added a bunch of MP3 albums to the GN10 - originally the album artwork appeared in screen you could scroll through but in finding my way around the App changed the view to a static tiled view of the album covers - no way can I switch back or between any view options now!
By the way.....stick with the standard music player or other Apps recommended? (would be nice to have a graphic equaliser.......I've set up a nice set of external speakers with Logitech Bluetooth audio adapter)
2) My Library...
My Music.......the icons on the 'Desktop' are just grey squares with the album title etc......surely the album covers/artwork should show?
........that's it for now
Thanks
Andy

Your are talking about the play music app, yes? If so the view you were talking about where you could scroll through is the "recent music" view. The static tiles is the "album" view. The view can be changed in the upper left side of the app next to the app icon. The app does have a built in graphic equalizer which is accessed by touch the menu button (3 dots) in the upper right.
As far as the widget, you may want to try removing the widget and then putting it back. A reboot may help afterwards as well. Hope this answers your questions.

Spot on re the 'recent music' view....thanks - strange that that view is not available for the full music selection :shrug:
Removed and added the Library widget again but no change.........not fussed though as removed again as on second thoughts can't see the need anyway, how often would one of the few albums shown be what you wanted to listen too anyway?.......just hit the Media Player icon...
Something else strange (to me anyway lol).....
The photo gallery has imported all the artwork/album covers from the Music folder ......can't see a setting to change this?

That is strange indeed. Is the music mp3's that are physically stored on the tablet memory?

Yes all on the tablet, fully tagged etc via dBpoweramp

...anyone any ideas?

very nice,its worked fully!

Unfortunately I don't believe there is a way to remove them from the gallery. It is a quirk of android. You will notice that some apps will even create folders in the gallery to store cached images.

Animated Photo

I made a few animated photo's last week and they were great saved right to my gallery, no problems...however today I've tried making several without luck. It's like they are not saving to my sd card. I changed the location of where my pictures save as well...still not working.
Any suggestions or am I just being stupid? I can take the photo, trim it and such all options are there and working then I click save and it acts like it's saving only it doesn't show up in my gallery....

[Q] Gallery Pictures as Wallpaper

When I browse in my Gallery it shows all the folders that I have locally as well as all my Google+ folders and on other devices I've been able to simply click on one of those images and set it as a Wallpaper. Now that I've got the GS4, I don't seem to be able to do this any longer and when I go through the Wallpaper settings to choose a picture it only allows me to use local images (same for contact images). Is there any way to change how this behaves?
Also, is there a fix for the weird treatment of landscape pictures (rotating them)?
Thanks.

Stock Gallery question

In the stock gallery there used to be a sidebar on the left that had all the picture folders in a grayish blue color and it made it easy to move picture's from one folder to another. This side bar is gone now, any ideas how to get it back?? Any help would be appreciated. I'm wondering if it's a setting somewhere cause I've just installed what was said to be the stock gallery for the note 3 but it's still missing. I'm Running Bean's build 4
Take a sec and hit thanks if I helped or if you're in a good mood!

I got it back by creating a new album within the gallery and it's back.

When you are in the gallery open one of the photo albums then with your index finger swipe left or right, that's how u enable/disable the "sidebar"
