Is this what you are constantly seeing? The grey bars at the top and the bottom with the controls?
BTW, I see autocorrect turned "volume" into "Blume" in my response to you, but I guess you figured it out.
I just don't understand why you are even seeing the battery icon. It doesn't make sense. Do you see it in portrait and in landscape and I just now though of this .... Are you seeing this behavior in the built in Videos App or some third party app? Do you see it while streaming a video or with downloaded videos ...or both?
But like I said, you shouldn't see it anywhere at all.
