This is exactly what my screen looks like when I launch certain apps. I've tried un-installing but it still just leaves those huge black boarders and the buttons are all mixed up. Is there any way to fix this?

Bump. This is also something i'd like to know.

I think that's one of the reason's that app in particular says it's not for tablets as they didn't code it for a bigger screen or to optimize it for various sizes.
I have read that you could try toggling the compatibility mode in Spare Parts to fix these sorts of issues, but your phone has to be rooted to use it. Also there's some weird combination to use it, like toggle it, reboot, toggle it again, then reboot again, then toggle it one more time. Google how to use to use it as I don't know the exact procedure.

Ok thank you ill give it a shot

Still broken for me
No dice!
I'm running Gingerblur 3.5 flashed from zip.
I had the same issue as described in the first post.
I went to the market and installed spare parts. I noticed compatibility was already checked.
I rebooted without unchecking the compatibility for old apps and Chuzzle was still broken. I unchecked compatibility and rebooted. Tried Chuzzle and it was still broken so I checked compatibility and rebooted. Still broken.
After toggling compatibility mode off, then on (each with their own reboot) I can confirm Chuzzle is still broken. I can only assume the game is flawed and hope they fix it in an update.
Hexdefense 1.2.2 is another game that doesn't work on our Atrix 4G phones. It just give a black screen.
Except for those two apps I've had good luck.
I can only hope PopCap gets it together before Plants vs Zombies hits in 2 weeks.

Thanks dd I had the same result. Plants vs zombies is gonna be sick, plus I heard the company that makes a different famous game is also making this cool looking game where balls drop from the sky and you heave to deflect them with bullets, it might be called ball drop

Following the instructions posted here I believe Chuzzle is larger then it was initially. Note that it was talking about the Galaxy Tab but seemed to work for this.
# Un-tick Compatibility mode then re-tick it.
# Restart your Galaxy Tab.
# When it has started back up, open the Spare Parts app again.
# Scroll down to Compatibility Mode and un-tick the box.
# Restart your Galaxy Tab.
# Voila!

Hey thanks natboy for the help, but unfortunately it didn't work. :'(

This is cause of the qHD display. The groupon app doesn't have a big enough background to do this.
They should really learn to use scalable graphics (or at least look like they scale) and use variables for the width and height when programming, instead of preset values. It's not like we are going to have 320x240 displays forever...

^^^ Very True!

I tried installing the Motorola Droid version but it just crashed on me. I haven't been able to download a different version yet. If anyone can get this working, please let me know.
I think this whole thing was a crock...user after user after user reported they couldn't get it to load and were getting an "incompatible device" message. Most of us with the issue were on a Samsung Galaxy (Fascinate in my case).
I got it to load on my evo, although I cannot get any gameloft games to run on the nook. I click the app and the screen flashes very briefly and it sends me home.
I got this version to work. It will need to download an extra 307MB worth of data

Amazingly smooth! I left the 307 embees to download while I was sleeping. This morning I was playing all the way to work. Well, had to switch to Angry Birds at some point... gotta practice my slingshot for when Goliath cometh
Aside from the cutscenes not loading this is amazingly smooth. Thank you very much for the share!
So what phone was this working version from? I would also like to get letsgolf working. It seems the res>drawable folder has a lot more stuff in it than the version I downloaded for my evo
Sent from the cloud
Most games that work on the Galaxy Tab should work the for the nook color also. I've yet to find a version of Lets Golf 1 or 2 that work though
My LG Opt 1 is running DH not as smooth as the one in youtube,
how to check if my Opt 1 is rooted ?
any advice pls....thanx guys
I had this game on my ipad and finished it. Its not that good. Im going to try it on the NC just to compare.
As for downloading additional content, look for that to be common with the new 15 min cash back rule. The clock starts when download from the market. Does not matter if app takes an additional 20 minutes of download from the apps site, you just lost refund. I also had a game that downloaded 600MB. I had a couple for ipad that downloaded 900MB.

[Q] How to fix roms cutting off part of applications on screen?

I have issues with some applications getting cut off at the bottom of the screen when using roms such as the AT(HoneyComb)RIX 3.4 EXT4 or the Alien one. I can still scroll to the bottom of the application using the rest of the screen but there will still be part of the screen gone the whole time. Off the top of my head it does this with my SSF4AE guide app, on every single page. Also using handcent I have a similar problem; the background is not appearing fully when I go to my list of text messages
Ive been using Alien for weeks and dont have this problem on any on my 700+ apps, including Handcent which is prob the one I use more than any other.
I had the SSF4AE app problem on both but the handcent problem was only on AT(HoneyComb)RIX 3.4 EXT4

I just thought about this, my photobucket app has appeared to be shrunk ever since Gingerbread, you can see it doesn't quite take up my screen.. But it sounds like you are having the opposite problem, the app is too big to be displayed on the screen right?
Edit: i think its not showing correctly because of my photobucket privacy settings.. But it is just slightly smaller than the screen, it has a black border all the way around. Also I dont know what SSF4AE is.
Its just a guide for a fighting game that I use frequently.
It's supposed to look like this http://i.imgur.com/NaI1e.jpg
but it looks like this http://i.imgur.com/oDByS.jpg
I didn't notice until now that you mentioned your photobucket app being smaller that the sides are cut off a little too as well in this. I just took a picture from the web and edited it btw.
This thread says to download "spare parts" and toggle compatibility mode, Im gonna try that now and let you know.
Edit: Yup that worked for me! that should fix the problem for you too. Thank you for asking the question because it motivated me to find this simple fix. Im gonna hit your thanks button for that, if it works for you feel free to do the same lol. Also, strangly enough Spare Parts was also one of those apps that had a scaling prob haha, but its fixed now in that app as well. I cant say for sure yet if unchecking the "compatibility mode" causes any negative effects on other apps but it for sure fixed the scaling issue in photobucket and spare parts. Additionally, the "fancy input animation" is pretty cool it makes the keyboard slide up instead of just appear. Enjoy.
Yup that fixed my problem with the SSF4AE guide app. Thanks a lot . The handcent issue is still there but it might just be a problem with the theme..

It's a bit of a dodgy fix but you could try this. It's worked for a few people.

Moto warranty -> sell -> buy a good phone(
I had exactly same problem with my Atrix.
Exactly means exactly same location and dimensions of nontouchable area.
I tried everithing, was thinking about touch replacement but finally realized 99% I will end up with nonworking device.
Solution (depends)
-go to Motorola site and check if your atrix is still under warranty.(mine was more than year old but still on warr.)
-fill out online form for repair/replacement.
-back up your data and erase from device.
-send your atrix to them (dont send wires, battery, backcover, sd card, sim and orig.box) dont warry about unlocked bootloader, custom rom, etc. - they dont care.
-receive a new atrix. this will be a new device not fixed yours.
with build # 4.5.141 with UNLOCKABLE butloader.
-You may try to call Att for sim unlock code but this is useless. Go to cellunlock.net and buy code ($19.99 with discount code).
-get rid of motoblur account activation -

-Buy real phone (nexus, s3, note ?)

Do Your Downloads Continue With Screen Off on 3g or Wifi?

Mine does not. Running new 4.1 4.04. Every time I download some thing and the screen turns off I either have my download pause or download failed not completed. Is there a way to fix this??
What custom ROM are you using? Mine does the same (running MeanROM 2.7). Some ROMs are coded to purposely shut off pretty much everything except regular phone/text communication when the screen is off to save optimal battery. Personally I haven't looked into it enough to figure out how to change it though... :-\

That option has already been selected. Does not work on Wifi or 3g.
I use juice defender ultimate and I haven't noticed them stop if I customize an app to be able to run with screen off.
If I'm downloading a torrent I plug it in the wall and select never turn off in display settings. Just turn brightness down to like 5%.
I noticed it was an issue on the og EVO for me. Idk about anyone else, kinda just fixed it without asking about it.
When I was running a Sense Rom, even with those settings above, downloads would stop. I think it has to do with how many other apps you have running. As soon as Sense decides it needs some RAM to run a different app, it will kill the app currently downloading regardless of whether the DL is finished or not. At least that seemed to be my experience, and yes turning off the screen would also kill my dl's sometimes. I would recommend going to CM10 or another AOSP ROM. I have found that the latest CM10 builds Kushdeck is putting out are pretty much solid. I have been using it for a daily driver for about a month now, and I don't miss Sense at all.

I miss being able to near instantly load netflix, crackle, crunchyroll or youtube as soon as I get home, so much easier then plugging the laptop in. I guess I could always buy a atv or roku or upgrade to a smart tv. Not a good move for someone in between jobs lol

Just Got My S9 Plus - A Couple Of Questions

Hi everyone,
I've just moved from my trusty LG G6 to a new SAmsung S9 Plus UK version (Exynos 9810) and so far I'm pretty happy, love the screen, the responsiveness and it's a lovely looking phone although slippery as a fish without a case, managed to find a good case/screen protector combo but took a while. Have gone for the Whitestone Doma which is an awesome screen protector but was really frustrated to get bubbles in the glue which shouldn't happen..
Anyway Its only really day 3 or 4 and I realise things may change in time but have some observations and wondered if anyone here could help please.
1) Standby drain, seems like many people have this so have downloaded Package Disabler Pro for Samsung and I am experimenting but its not anywhere near as good as my G6 at the moment. Guess this is trial and error but have already disabled much of the Samsung stuff, I'm a little apprehensive when it comes to system packages though as you never know if its going to mess things up completely.
2) On both the AOD and in the android shutter if I get 2 notifications from an app, they both show separately, I have a Xiaomi camera and if I get more than one alert of movement all notifications are separate and I wanted to know how to nest them so it only showed me once that I had notification for that app.. (hope that makes sense) cant find any way to do this. This isn't the problem of double notifications as I've seen but I hope you get what I mean.
3) LG has a built in service called Smart Settings which basically says things like if you go out of your current location turn Wi-fi off , when you get back into your location turn wifi on, if you start this app, turn on bluetooth, if you plug in headphones start this app.. etc..
It appears theres nothing like that on Samsung so could anyone recommend a 3rd part app that may help me achieve this as I miss it.
4) Does anyone know if S9 Plus will get 8.1? or will it go straight to P..
5) Forgot to add, I have a different photo viewer installed, I use F-Stop but for some reason in the camera app when you take a picture and press the gallery button it always defaults to the Samsung gallery app. Does anyone know how this can be changed please?
Thanks for listening guys, any help appreciated.

1. Give it a couple of weeks for the system to settle. Just use it as it is without disabling any apps.
2. I don't know if you can do that system wide. I know some apps have that option.
3. Try LLama
4. No idea
5. Open settings and search for "default"
There you should be able to set default apps
I've provided a screenshot so you can see how it looks like
Hope it helps
