Lenovo Yoga Stuck in portrait

Can an option not be added to Roon to force tablet and/or phone mode, with the default being that as currently determined by Roon?

and what, have it clip? have it render funny with overlapping text and ui elements?

I’m guessing only those that need it because their tablets report incorrectly will use it.

Yes, and then they will have a terrible experience, with critical functionality missing or broken, and our support team will have to debug these situations… ugh.

We don’t place these restrictions arbitrarily… we have to consider the full UX + support path.

I updated my post above, but I’ll repeat myself again.

I also speak to the technology in Android behind all this here:

I have just bought my Lenovo Yoga 3 to use with Roon and discovered the hard way the DPI problem which causes Roon to default to the portait orientation. I have followed the instrunctions and changed the DPI setting to 190 without root. This fixed my problem and makes Roon to use landscape orientation as desired but messes other apps such as the camera app which does not respond in landscape mode. Are there any plans to add a feature in Roon to address this issue?

Setting the dpi to 160 using this link (shared by Tom in July 2016 here above) also worked for me for the Lenovo Smart Tab M8 to bring it to tablet mode.

The link is unfortunately dead by now. Is there a new link? I search for other resources and none worked on my new tablet yet.

Hi @Stephen_Lee1,

You’ll need to enter developer mode to change the DPI. It’s something like this:

Step 1. Go to *Settings > About Phone and scroll down and find ‘Build Number’. You need to tap on the ‘Build Number’ 5 to 6 times continuously.

Open Settings > System > Developer Options. Under the Developer Option, select the option ‘Smallest Width’

Step 3. Under the ‘Smallest Width’ you will find the default DPI value of your device. Take note of the default value so you can restore if necessary.
