I actually realized this since the first day of using the tablet... I noticed that the screen actually got stretched when you set your tablet in landscape mode and squished in while in portrait mode.

I suspect that the OS is running at a wrong native resolution... Does anyone have similar observation?
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crms1496:
Yep, me too

I noticed the same issue. Circular icons look especially bad. Funny enough, the tablet on the packaging also has a distorted screen. In Youtube, videos have black bars on the top and bottom of the screen. This shouldn't be the case, as 1024x600 is a 16:9 aspect ratio, and videos are typically 16:9.

adb shell dumpsys display

contains the following output:

mPhys=PhysicalDisplayInfo{600 x 1024, 59.670002 fps, density 1.0, 177.209 x 171.115 dpi, secure true, appVsyncOffset -5000000, bufferDeadline 22758840}

[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theophile2:
I was just getting on to post about this very thing. Here is an image comparison I put together showing a screen shot side-by-side with a photo of the screen:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0Z0bpkQXwBFR1djTnJLSGlsTkU/view

According to the images I pulled, the nominal screen resolution is 600x1024, which is also the hardware spec. But the actual image you see is the same aspect ratio as a display with a resolution of 600x1080. This suggests that the display pixels aren't actually square. I tried a couple of resolution changers in the Play Store but they just scale the display without addressing the issue.

I found an old Google Groups post asking about a cheap tablet with non-square pixels, and the answer in 2012 wasn't very encouraging. I wonder if something could be done through an Xposed module?
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] csolanol:
I lowered the dpi to 150 just to test and same result...
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theophile2:
Also, this line from the display dump above similarly seems to indicate non-square pixels:

[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ownster:
Apparently the dpi is 160 normally.

You can set it higher and the icons will look less stretched but the dpi seems correct.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martinml:
Yeah, this is sadly typical in cheap chinese tablets. What really surprises me is that almost nobody talks about this, and most of the people don't even notice it even after pointing it to them :(

I've also noticed that this screen has what I think is a slow redraw rate (i. e. painting line by line from the top) which cause funky scroll effects, especially in dark backgrounds in portrait. Grab the tablet with the buttons on top and scroll quickly in the Kindle Store and you'll see it :eek:
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theophile2:
I watched a video on the Fire for the first time, and while this isn't exactly a scientific test, the video did not seem stretched out or distorted to me. I tested with a second video and it too seemed to display with the correct aspect ratio. If so, then that suggests that the display, controller, and drivers are all capable of rendering an image that is not distorted, and that it may be an issue with the rendering of the Android UI.

Incidentally, the dpi numbers in the OS are wrong, in the event that some program used them instead of assuming "square pixels". A program would calculate an aspect ratio a hair smaller than 16:9 using those numbers.

Does anyone know if the screen still has this vertical stretching on the stock Amazon ROM? They may have implemented a fix we are not aware of, and we may be able to examine it and use something similar to it.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martinml:
I can confirm it has. This thread predates any ROM development, so... :)

I contacted Amazon and they don't seem to know, care or understand the problem.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3chwizard:
Even if this were possible, it would theoretically take a big performance hit, (correct me if I am wrong) because it would have to somehow change what will be displayed in between the graphics card and the main board.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peerssa:
This is also bugging me, to the point I'm considering returning the tablet.

Netflix looks squished, but at least when I'm using VLC, I can force it to use 'fill' mode, so that fixes it for anything 16:9 played through VLC. But all the icons are still noticeably out of proportion.

Is there a way of fudging this, even in a custom ROM?

Had a play with both:

adb shell size

and

adb shell density

Annoyingly, if you could set separate different values for vertical/horizontal DPI, this could be fairly easy to rectify. Any way of doing this in a custom ROM/root?
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3chwizard:
I'll take a look at this and consult my friends that work with technology as well.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theophile2:
There's a thread here where some folks are discussing the same issue in the context of app development on the Raspberry Pi framework. They come up with at least a theoretical solution that involves the app rendering to an intermediary "surface," which is then sent to the display output. When the graphics are rendered to the surface, they are scaled in such a way that they will appear correct when thereafter "stretched" by the display.

This type of graphics subsystem sounds a lot like what SurfaceFlinger does in Android. Maybe SurfaceFlinger could be hacked to apply some sort of compensatory scaling of the composited image before it is sent to the display driver? Someone with a lot more knowledge than me would need to weigh in on that.

A smaller-scale project might be to hack an open-source launcher to do the necessary compensatory scaling in OpenGL before the image is drawn. Of course, this wouldn't be a system-wide fix but it could be a step in the right direction, and could serve as a test of feasibility.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3chwizard:
This is kind of what I was envisioning here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=64057925, however would it cause a performance hit?
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theophile2:
I'm not a developer so I don't have any special knowledge in this area, but I would think that there would be some resource overhead in doing this, as something will need to be doing the realtime scaling of everything the tablet displays. The question of course is how much of a hit would it be, would it be noticeable, and would it be worth it? That I don't know.

In theory, I would think that scaling done by OpenGL could be hardware accelerated and offloaded to the GPU. I don't know whether the same would be true of a SurfaceFlinger hack, assuming such a thing is even possible.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3chwizard:
If it could be made a flashable zip instead of being forced upon all users and built into ROM's so we have a choice in the matter I think that would be a good idea. I would rather have speed as opposed to having this fix forcefully implemented if there would be a performance hit.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3chwizard:
[MENTION=7111117]peerssa[/MENTION] My friend says this is possible if we modify the window manager directly. Setting a different DPI for the x and y axis that is.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Splines:
I'm also not a developer but I would imagine that they're already using some sort of buffered display strategy, and somewhere in the display code there's a Render method - if you could add a Transform/Scale call just before that maybe it would fix things?

You'd need to handle portrait/andscape, and you wouldn't want to break screen casting either.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Giorgi-geo:
Before we can somehow fix this, here's a tip on how to watch videos in correct aspect ratio.

You'll need MX Player or any other player that allows setting custom aspect ratio.

1. for 16:9 videos you can simply 'Stretch' video and that's it.

2. for any other ratio, you increase the height of video by height divided by 24, or about 4.17%.

How to do it. In MX player click the three dots > display > aspect ratio. Scroll to the bottom and select 'Custom' and insert 1st: width of the video, 2nd: height of video+h/24.

For example, our video is 1280x544. In aspect ratio we enter 1280, and 544 + 544/24 = 544+22.67=566.67.

If you want to watch it in portrait mode you increase the width, so 1280+51.2=1333.34 & 544.

This is calculated from the assumption that screen itself is indeed 16:9 ratio. And when I measured it, it was 154mm x 86mm so pretty much 16:9.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3chwizard:
If we could somehow implement this system wide, it probably would fix the issue. Could making an Xposed module that fixes it work??

I can assure you, amazon knows. It's a $35 / $50 tablet. They don't care.

Most devices don't have a long commercial lifespan. Next year amazon will likely discontinue this model & release a new one.

This issue affects all roms including the stock amazon FireOS. The problem is that the actual screen does not have perfectly square pixels. It's just a compromise amazon made to keep the price low.

[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ening:
What I've noticed is that the image of the tablet on the Amazon store does NOT have it stretched. I've just checked: the tablet dimensions are represented correctly.

As we know, it IS stretched even on the packaging.

Therefore, it is possible to easily have the difference between the image on the store page and the actual product as justification for a refund. Amazon usually have great policy regarding that anyway, though.

0_0

Pixels not square?! Haven't seen such atrocities even in the cheapest tablets from noname manufacturers. That's a shame: the tablet is otherwise incredible for its price.

I guess this means that even if the x-axis dpi / resolution is changed, then we will have another problem: interpolation, which will make the image blurred from the "shorter" sides. I'm not even sure what's worse.

I guess the best we can do now is gift/sell it to someone who just does not care about the stretch. This is what i will most likely do.

I have android tv media box with S812 amlogic and have the same issue - apps designed to work only in portrait mode are stretched wide on 1920x1080 unnaturally in landscape mode and they are totally unusable. On one side the problem lays in application code, but on other side the problem is on android core as well. I have tested many firmwares for my device and on older firmwares the screen is not stretched (empty bars on left and right of screen) but properly maintained aspect ratio. But after firmware update to newer version screen is stretched as hell and unusable. I don't know where the issue can be corrected - on kernel level, on android configuration files or maybe some module needs to be recompiled with other settings.
