Android WiiM home app landscape mode support for tablets

[madbrain]

My brand new Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra sits in landscape mode 100% of the time, in its official keyboard case. I cannot rotate the tablet without losing the case protection, as well as keyboard input, which I want to use for complex searches - I hate touch screen virtual keyboards.
Please fix the Android WiiM app to work in landscape mode, also.

I've been using this app to force landscape mode

control screen rotation - Apps on Google Play

Easily control your screen orientation from the notification bar

I've been running it for about a week now and so far so good

Thanks ! This looks good. I just tried it, and it worked for me on the Tab S9 Ultra also.

THANK YOU!! I've been waiting impatiently for this feature and this takes care of it.

Great, I just ordered an 8" S2 just for the Pro Plus and need a solution as well. I am going to try out the Qobuz Android app as well since it works in landscape on my wife's newer 1" tab and functions quite well, will see which one I like the best.

If you put your Tab S9 into DEX mode it should shift the WHA into landscape mode. It's a sudo-landscape mode in terms of scaling etc ie same number of columns and images the same size just bigger gaps, but everything is the right way up and in your specific case should work well. You can shift in and out of DEX mode quite easily.

Hello,
On my Samsung Galaxy A7 tablet, we obtain the landscape format without using an external app :
settings > advanced functions > labs > automatic app rotation > Wiim Home > full screen.
Please note, I translated the different parameters into English from French. the actual English texts on your tablet may not correspond to my translation.

Seems that landscape mode for wiim app on android has arrived!

 

[jfbuk]

Yes,

Android app version 2.10.2.240625.82873a

Happily moves to landscape when the screen is rotated
It does lose some track info on a 10inch tablet.

In the screenshot the artist name is not displaying only the track name

Ticket raised

Doesn’t rotate on my phone…

Doesn't rotate on Huawei tablet.

On my Tab S9, fonts are barely readable (landscape or not).

I was able to get landscape mode on my two tablets, but only the device screen and the now playing screen remain in portrait mode...

I also sent the ticket, tried reinstalling the app and rebooting the tablet to no avail. Browse and search pages are normal, just one step away from the goal.

Tbh, that’s what it’s always done on the iOS app, and not something I really noticed or was overly concerned about.

Is this normal?

BTW, it looks like my WiiM amp has received an update for USB output.

No, you’re correct. That’s unexpected with the iOS app showing this…

New firmware?
