Same problem here with video playback. When in HD mode, it zooms in, gets magnified, something like that.
On YouTube for instance, I have to manually set it down to 480p resolution to be able to see the whole picture...
Some other issues... I get no sound when I plug it to indicate that's charging.
The s-pen works but without popping out its menu when detached.
And, when I want to turn up or down the media volume by pressing the side buttons, usually the ring volume bar pops up and I have to scroll down, find the media bar and adjust the volume afterwards.
Thanks
Hi

1. Yep it is a known problem, initially I detected it in the testing stages but it was thought to be my tablet due to certain problems I have with it, we now know it is a wide spread problem, basically the video is not being scaled when the resolution changes, so something has changed since moving over to the LineageOS and the dev team are working on it
2. So what you are saying is that if you plug in the charger you are loosing sound? What happens if you toggle the sound up and down, either via the buttons or the slider??
3. Yes the contextual pop-up menues is a TouchWiz related function, we no longer have that when there is a custom ROM installed as that cannot be ported over into a custom ROM, but the pen still works and there are applications you can get that will work with the pen quite well. In developer mode you can also set the setting so when the pen is released it will vibrate the tablet and also when you put it back in
4. OK in Nougat (7.1.1) and some earlier reeases the volume control button become page contextual, meaning if you had anything on the screen that was audio based and you used the volume control, then it would adjust the volume, but if you had nothing in the foreground playing then it would revert to the ringer or the alarm volume control. So it is really based on what is on the screen as to what will happen when you press the volume button... Yep it takes some getting used to! [emoji6]
You may also notice the following:
* Random lockups, you could be using the tablet and the screen will just lock up and all the lights come on and nothing will happen, you just have to turn the tablet off... These can happen at randoms times, either frequently or infrequently depending on what rogue applicaiton is causing it
* WiFi dropping in an out, this is typically due to not having the ability to go into advance settings anymore and changing the country/region you are in so only the right channels are used, in Android 7.X.X this all changed to auto detect, which is a right pain in the ass
* When you power the tablet down, it can take an exceptionally long time to power it back up, the trick is to make sure that the power cable is not connected, if you disconnect it and hold the power button down until you see the Samsung Logo, you are back in business pretty quickly
@thompatry is aware of the issues and he has been following the feedback that is provided on here, and I do what I can to reproduce issues to help with capturing the logs, sometimes it is just simply not easy to capture the info needed to resolve a problem and it can take a while.
Moving to this custom ROM will 100% give your tablet a new lease on life, but it will come at certain costs such as bugs and missing "Samsung Only" features, of which 98% of them I didnt use anyway.
Cheers,
David.
