(Q) Apps not filling the screen size - HTC EVO 3D

Does anyone, or has anyone had, or seen a problem with certain apps, like "Adao file manager" not filling the screen all the way? Like it will only use a part of the screen?
HTC dropped the ball on us 3D users, TeamWin picks it up, and throws HTC out at home base!! Yaaaahhhhh.

I've not noticed any...but I imagine the higher screen resolution would account for that happening.

It's not HTC it's the apps. Get Spare parts and turn off compatibility mode, and then restart.

Radar Now, Groupon
I agree, probably from the higher resolution. The devs need to update the app to run properly at quarter HD resolutions since most high end phones are coming with that now.

Okay, thanks so much fella's.

Some gameloft games have been doing that to me. Assasains creed is off center, NOVA was very small and centered. GangstarMV was off center.

I noticed this with Jorte when first setting up my phone, the widgets seem small for the screen. qHD is still relatively new so hopefully it will all be fixed eventually in app updates.

Glad to see a fellow Epic user also with a EVO 3d! Can't wait till B. Thomas from Team Viper gets his hands on one......then great things will happen for all of us!

It worked. I only had one app that was small though

Yes It does work. I had this problem day one with Mixzing and after i did this all the apps are in the correct size. Thank you to Donatom3 for info.

Received my EVO 3D......

Very nice improvement over my EVO 4G.
The only negative is the fact I have to deal with the forced password from my IT policy again since I don't see any work arounds yet.
There is a reason for the forced password from your IT department if you want their exchange network to be open on your phone. Getting around it is just undermining the security your IT guys are trying to provide for their network.
Would you happen to have a cable to test HDMI mirroring?
How is the call quality?
after all the noise made over in Sprint forums ...lol...you got yours before me
So you like it pretty well so far? Got a nexus s and plan to swap for the 3d before my 30 days is up (signed up to get the port credit just in case they didnt extend it again, which i just looked and they did...)
Hopefully I wont have a problem with getting one in the next 3 weeks.
Hows the qhd screen? Does the 3d effect work well for you?

No HDMI cable yet.
Call quality seems fine. I don't use the phone much but I just called my dad and he said I sounded fine. He was in the bathroom taking a dump so a little bit of an echo on his end......for obvious reasons.

So far I really like it. Coming from the EVO 4G it isn't a 'huge' change so a lot of things are normal. It isn't like coming from a Blackberry. Love the sense 3.0.
Screen is really nice. Side by side with the EVO 4G you can really see the improvement. I'm not a big fan of the 3D because it messes with my eyes. It is cool...but not worth the headache for me.
Because of the higher resolution screen, the keyboard I normaly use (SmartKeyboard Pro) is stretched a little in landscaping and seems a little too small in portrait. I'll have to try a bunch of other ones. I wasn't too thrilled with the stock keyboard at first but I'll give it a few days.

There is nothing that is harmful to the company in my email or on my phone. Plus I run Lookout on my phone. If it goes missing, I log on and lock the phone. If I can't find it I do a remote wipe. My phone is by my side 24/7 so I know when it is missing within minutes.
The password just ruins the Sense experience. No point of having shortcuts on the lock screen when you have to type in a password.

I've been running a Sense 3.0 ROM on my EVO for weeks, and I have a passcode -- I would even if my employer didn't require it. The lockscreen is still extremely useful with a passcode. Sure, it's not immediate access, but it still decreases the amount of navigation to get to common tasks.

I had a dream last night I had my EVO 3d, im glad to hear that the phone is better than these "credible reviewers" BS troll fodder we seen online.
Now we should be asking is the call quality good enough you could hear the plops?

Call quality was good enough for me. I have never expected crystal clear calling from a cell phone. I think that expectation was set back in the days of older networks and crap phones. I can hear who I was talking to, there was no distortion, and nobody was complaining about how I sounded.
I will set it up on my Ford Sync system in my car today and test it then too.
Loving mine so far. 3D pics are uber cool, the 3D Video equally cool, can't wait to hook it up to the TV.
Only complaint - No flashlight app. Haven't tried any market ones yet though.

and partially because in portrait the 3D is skinnier than the evo 4g
and in landscape its a bit wider then the 4g

Everyone is entitled to their opinion just don't try to shove it down anyone's throat just because you believe its a 'bad' thing. Personally, I use Enhanced Email which allows to bypass the security PIN.
Glad you got your new 3D, I am looking forward to mine soon! Thanks for the mini review

When I view a 3d picture or video only half the screen is in 3d the other half is just blurry

Any one have anything wrong with viewing 3d pictures, that hasn't accepted the ota
I've done no updates to my phone (had it since Wednesday) and I have no issues with 3D pics/vids.
Try rebooting the phone.. (doubt it will help). What you are describing almost sounds like what happens due to a hardware failure.. I've seen flat screen TVs have half the screen be ok, and the other half be all screwed up from faulty hardware

3D working fine here. No OTA!
It seems that you have to let your eyes settle in to get the full effect. Not sure if that's what you're referring to though.

Sprint TV apk from Evo 3D

Does anyone have the Sprint TV apk from the 3VO? It's SO much better than the one on the Evo 4G.
I know, most of you will say with Netflix, Hulu hacks, torrent downloaders, etc, why the hell would you want Sprint TV, but I love sprint TV. ESPN mobile has a lot of live sporting events, like Wimbledon, and World Cup Soccer. Plus you can get a lot of the shows from major networks.
Anyway, I realize it probably won't function on the Evo 4G, but I wanted to take a crack at it anyway.
Thanks to anyone that can post it. PM me if you throw it up here.
not sure if this'll work tho might be needing other parts
nevermind, deleted..

This was a good start. It installed just fine, but when I try to start the app, it says an update is available.
I pulled Sprint_InstallerNC_v2_1_0.apk from the system dump for the 3vo, and installed that. That would let me download the update, but I get an error when it tries to install the update.
Any chance you have updated Sprint TV on your 3vo already, and if so, what would be the possibility of pulling the updated APK off? Thanks again!
So where do we go to complain that sprint tv (among other apps) wont allow rotating so the charger is on the TOP of the phone instead of the bottom??

How to take screen shots with rezound

combed through the threads in the rezound and didn't come across this so thought i share.
The Rezound has a built in feature like some other phones to take screen shots without the need of Root or paying for apps.
simply press and hold the "power button" and press "home key" and you got a screen shot.
That's great to know! Thanks for posting this!

Ok your right, I see what Cares is talking about. Not really a big deal it does capture the whole screen just as you said doesn't display in full resolution so you see a small border.

it's not cut off. the screenshot is taking a higher resolution shot than the resolution of the display.
display: 1280x720 (720p)
screenshot: 1280x736.
16 pixels right side = blank = black line.
hope the bump doesn't anger the gods, think the info in this thread is worth it.
do you need to have sense running for this to work, I.E. rosie launcher? I de-sensed my phone and this doesn't appear to work. I assume it is not "hard encoded" obviously, so I would assume it is a sense feature I lost?

pinhole light leak (pics) typical?

Hi everyone, I just got my HTC Amaze yesterday from Mobilicity. I came from an Evo 3d, so this isn't much of an upgrade but I'm enjoying my new phone so far!
However, one little thing is bugging me. There seems to be a pinhole in the side of the phone and it's apparent when the capacitive lights are on. I can see the light leaking through. Pics attached.
Is that a manufacturer's defect? Or is it typical?
I'm still within the timeframe for a refund/exchange, so just seeing if it's worth exchanging my phone...
EDIT: Apologies for any confusion. I meant the small pinhole of light on the edge of my device. I've updated pics to emphasize the part I'm referring to. The screen bleed isn't a huge issue for me, just that little pinhole of light that annoys me.

Only light leak I get is the buttons leaking onto the screen, but it's no anything bothersome, only shows on dark backgrounds, you should get it exchanged if possible.
^ thanks, yea i read about the light bleed at the bottom and I have some of that too. Doesn't bother me. But that pinhole really does! Will try to get it exchanged. Gotta work on relocking bootloader and unrooting then.

Lol, use hasoon's tool to relock and browse into system/app with a file explorer, delete supersu.apk and reboot, to unroot.
You can exchange all you want but you will still have the leak. I have one same area as yours on two devices and vote showing leaks in upper right and bottom right. To be honest it's really not that bad though. Phone has good power so I tend to let the leak not bother me

Hm maybe it's more common. Possible QA issue perhaps?
I guess I'll give it a shot to see if I can exchange and hope for the best!

i had the same prob on my first amaze. it was way worst than yours but i got it replaced from t-mobile. that phone had a lot of problem.
If you use speedrom by eclipsremix the tweaks in the settings menu have an option to turn off the bottom button lights which will get rid of the bleed. At first it is a little ruff getting use to not being able to see them real well but after a day or two you get used to where the buttons are and you won't miss the lights at all. And actually it may be in the energy rom also bit I'm not 100% on that. But definitly works on speedrom. It's a great rom too especially if you like aosp. Very fast smooth and very nicely themed

This leak isn't the fault of the buttons but the screen itself escaping at the side for some odd reason.
Mine has a small amount in the lower left hand corner. I think its fairly common. My mytouch 4g has the same issue too, but it doesn't bother me with either device

Yes I saw that in the pic you posted but there is also bleed from the bottom buttons. If I were you I would try to get it replaced and when you do then you can turn off the bottom lights to prevent bleeding on the new phone.

Will try to talk to the store to see if I can get an exchange on Monday.
I unlocked my bootloader via HTCdev however. If I relock it now it'll show "relocked" (as per other threads)... will they refuse to exchange my device because of that? I think not because they're unrelated.. any thoughts?

If they're anything like t-mobile, they wouldn't check or care, since the device is gonna be refurbished and sent back as a replacement to any customer with device issues.
