Hey people,
I`ve noticed that some apps seem to load upside down on the tablet(seem to be mostly apps that are designed for phone android)
Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a way to resolve this?
Cheers
I have seen this happen with a few select apps, Sports Illustrated and Time Magazine in particular. Even the XDA app starts sideways, then rotates back to the right spot.
Can,t say i,ve encountered that problem yet. All apps install for me without any problem
IT happens with the Antipaper Notes HD app as well as 50 languages and the games nano panda and Blast monkeys.
I dont mind if apps only work in portrait but I`d prefer the other way around :s
Happened to me too and the problem was i could not get out of them so had to reset the device with a pin on the side. Don't remember what they were as i uninstalled them immediately

I havent had that happen, but i do run into a problem, when i try to download an app sometimes, it wil say its downloading, but thats all it does, i have to back out, click download again then it wil finally install. Sometimes i will click download and it closes the market out completely and randomly opens an app from my library.
Happens to me as well. Mostly phone apps.

CAN ANYONE CONFIRM IF THESE APPS ARE WORKING ON OTHER TABS??!!!??
on other tablets, it doesn't matter since they are symmetrical. For right-handed people, it's natural to hold it with the left hand and on the Sony tablet it feels awkward to hold it in portrait mode by the thin side. A number of apps (like the Tapatalk app) load upside down but then flip correctly and some (the official Flickr) run only upside down (at least for righties)

Agreed, basically my concern was if it is problem with Sony only or all tabs, it seems its generic issue..

So far my apps are loading rightside up. Including tapatalk. This is only my second day with the tablet though. I have experienced having to try a second time when installing apps though.

I have the same problem.
Does anyone know of a fix?
An example of a few of the free apps not working:
* Air Asia
* Booking.com
* PADI
put it in your other hand.
You can use the app orientation control as a workaround
I assume you're holding it thick side in your left hand? Default landscape for apps is so the top of the phone/device is on the left side so portrait would be thick side on the right. Nothing strange, just Androids default.

Just a reminder for anyone having an issue with games / applications not being full screen. I have heard this can cause an issue with older software but have yet to run into an issue. Download spare parts from the market (free) and run the app. Scroll down to the bottom and uncheck compatibility mode. Reboot the phone and your applications should now be full screen.

XiiaLive Lite was the only app that was giving me that issue and your suggestion worked. Thanks!!!
Hmm I downloaded spare parts and the app just Fcs over and over..
I'm trying to hold off on doing the OTAs but I may not have a choice .
the reason why some of the apps dont fill up the screen is because the 3D's screen resolution higher than normal
Yeah I needed it for the sirius app, surprised side since this isn't the first qhd display
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
I have not taken any of the OTAs so that should not be related. Maybe try menu>settings>applications>manage applications> select spare parts and force stop and clear data. Also check to make sure its installed to the phone not SD card.

I was using magic gem on my hero, looked great, now it is too small on the screen with my 3vo and after installing spare parts and unchecking compatibility mode and rebooting, it is even smaller. No biggy, I am sure they will have one out for the 3vo soon with the right resolution.
worked for me
Settlers HD did not take up the whole screen on my EVO 3D, spare parts and now it looks perfect, thanks
So I have noticed this on a few apps now. Sprint family locator & SwiFTP. When you open them it doesn't fill the entire screen. It's smaller, also my LiveBlackjack 21 game by dragon the menu fills up the entire screen but the deal button no longer shows at the bottom. Any settings that can be changed or will this have to be fixed from the dev side?

It didn't help. I noticed this with Photobucket and an NES emulator.
I'm getting the same thing with the Droid auctions app.

My best guess is the "qHD" display is not support it by android natively that's why I'm kind of afraid getting the phone so , spare parts is a fix but it should have been fix from the beginning
Were gonna have to email the app devs and let them know what's up.
I had a few apps that did this...TD Bank, Spare parts, and 1 or 2 others. The spare parts option fixed all of them. Some apps are probably not programmed to take advantage of qHD, and thus its the devs fault, not HTC/Android. Maybe im wrong on that count, but thats my guess.
Spare parts kinda works for some aps, it didn't fix blackjack and kinda fixed family locator. The map came up full screen and then after you try and do a locate it gets all jacked. Hopefully these aps will get fixed soon.
Same with datpiff music app.

This fixed my issue with the Sirius radio app. Thanks for the info!!
Glad it helped guys, for the people who are still having issues, i suggest you write the devs of the apps you still have issues with and ask them if they can fix it.

No, it means the app creator did not set it up to work with all resolutions...nothing to do with android

^^What this guy says...
FWIW, I've been setting up custom icons on most of my apps and I noticed the ones that don't support the new res have a generic "drawable" folder vs the others having "drawable hdpi," "drawable mdpi," and "drawable ldpi." The 3D uses the HDPI setup...
notice that on radar now app, I think apps will soon have updates on this issue.
Hi all,
is there an app or some funky cables that allow you to use the Tablet as an additional screen?

As others have mentioned, there are a handful of apps. In my experience they are all garbage though. Off the top of my head there is:
Air Display
Screen Slider
iDisplay
And each of them has some combination of the following issues:
500+ ms lag
Disables Aero/DirectX
Apps freeze when moved to tablet (expecially browsers)
Not compatible with 64 bit OSs
Can't set size or relative position of the tablet display
I have heard of good results from setting up VNC to stream a second monitor to an Android device, but I've yet to try it. If you find a good solution to setting up your Nexus as a second monitor, let us know. I'd love to use my Nexus and an extra touch monitor for my PC.

I've always found TeamViewer hard to use for anything substantial due the lag and slow loading times of everything on my screen - of course that could just be my slow connection.

Splashtop works....kinda, have to drop the display from Sharp to Smooth to get rid of annoying green line across the screen.
Like eall so far, there is considerable lag. A cabled solution would be great for my needs for now.

Can you give step-by-step instructions on how to do that? I've tried creating another display but it doesn't work.
PushBullet is a neat program that allows you to quickly "push" anything you can share between specific Android devices and Chrome on a desktop. It also allows mirroring notifications from your phone to Chrome so you can see why your phone beeped without taking it out of your pocket.
Oddly, after installing PushBullet and turning Notification Mirroring on, any text typed on the LG keyboard resulted in the phone speaking the key out loud (just like when TalkBack is turned on). I downloaded Google's keyboard app and this fixed it - this is apparently a bug on the LG keyboard.
This is just FYI, in case someone does a web search looking for a solution to this problem.
I'm running an LG P769, Android 4.1.2, update 20f, rooted.

I think this phone is one big bug. I'd like to push a bullet into it with a gun....lol.

Was it a bug? When I installed I saw an option for both talk back and mirroring.

There are two opitons: Talk Back and Mirroring. With Talk Back off and Mirroring on, the stock keyboard still announced every keypress. After installing the Google Keyboard, the talking stopped. This appears to be a bug in the stock keyboard, not a bug in PushBullet.

Totally agree, I too hate this phone with a passion, I just made it worse and now no matter what I do I get apps crashing.
In this thread, you can complain about your own problems. Also, you can help other people so they stop griping. But really. Feel free to ask questions. Such as:
Does anybody else have issues when switching screens?
For example, on some launchers (occasionally even Asus', others including nova and apex) , the icon/sprites get smaller when undocking from the tablet.
Answer other people's questions if you know how.
Thanks,

idk where on xda i read that the whole dynamic display feature relies heavily on zen ui ( asus ui ) .. so without it it wont be as smooth as we expect it to be. Heres a huge bug ive noticed... art runtime wont work at all !

Could you remind me, what exactly is dynamic display? Is it just the tab?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using the XDA app
Dynamic display is in display settings that allows you to add apps to a list so the tablet can transition between phone and tablet mode without a popup message saying you need to restart the app. It's a compatibility list

Here's more information...
Sent from my HTC0P3P7 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Are most of the issues about Dynamic Display concerning when switching from phone mode to tablet mode and vice a versa? If so, I do not understand the emphasis this has gotten. It is rare I need an app to stay open when switching, I think because as the unit is being switched I am also in transition. Usually this means closing out an app, then undocking the phone, putting it in my pocket, and off I go.The apps I may use during the transition, the call and text apps, do seem to transfer well. The pop-up menu can be disabled. Apps seem to display well in both the phone and tablet mode when not switching.
I realize some users could find this problematic but the issue seems a bit overblown. I would think my experience of use would be the rule rather than the exception.
Your thoughts.

I have a certain procedure when inserting the phone into the tablet dock.
1 - I pull up the gallery and click on any picture
2 - with the picture in full screen I insert the phone in the tablet dock
3 - the picture shows itself in all its glory in the tablet and then i can hit home and end up on the tablet home screen
The KICKER I can't let the tablet screen time out or press the screen off button or else the tablet never comes back on....
I have to remove the phone from the dock and I get the android.ui error message on the screen.
I can't put the phone in with screen off, or device off or it will never display, very annoying and hopefully will be resolved by Asus.
Considering this is Asus's 5th or 6th gen of this device, you would tend to believe that they got the whole phone tablet dock errors
resolved. But I'm sure errors resurface when ever there is a new android os.
Has anyone else experience the same problems as me?
In any webpages in Chrome I get a crash when switching
Art issues here as well, i dont get a bootloop, mine just hangs on the boot logo. I left it for about 40 mins knowing the art runtime takes a while to switch over, but i finally got frustrated, had to factory reset from the recovery menu. Tried with fastboot enabled and disabled, no luck either way

Mine does the same thing where the tablet will freeze up and then won't turn back on after the error messages. Then I get an unresponsive black screen. This is my 2nd unit as I exchanged one already for the same issue and Both do the same thing. I Don't know if it is a software or hardware issue. Some apps and widgets apparently don't play nice with the the padfone station.

It appears that you both have some huge problems. Many of my issues were resolved when getting Padfone Switcher and Padfone Controller. They are both results under "padfone" the search bar in the play store. (Sorry for lack of links)
You can control which launcher for the phone and the tab. I chose Nova for phone, Asus/Apex for tablet.
Tell me if your issues are still occurring (post configuring the apps, of course)
