I just encountered this problem myself after installing Doodle Jump. It only shows up on a portion of the screen, and its not responding to my touch controls
Spare parts worked for me...need to reboot the device for the change to take effect.

Not every phone app is going to look good on a tablet.
It depends a lot on how good the app programmers were, and if they were flexible on screen resolution. Android makes it possible - the programmers make it happen.
If the app version looks good on Fire or other tablets, it should look good on NT.

Uncheck "Compatibility Mode", then reboot. Old apps written for a small phone screen will then not appear in a small box at the top of the screen. They may not exactly run in full-screen....that depends on how the app was written and whether or not it can format itself to the full screen, but they will no longer run in a small box surrounded by blackness.

It was just released as the free app of the day. Only problem is that it doesn't upscale on our nooks. It only uses a small portion of our screen.
runs beautiful and full on mine. Sure you'll figure it out ;0
I know not helpful... its late though I forget how I made all apps run full.
Go to Spare Parts
uncheck compatability mode
Enjoy gorgeous Field Runners HD

Will this have any other consequences? What does compatibility mode do?
Runs great, and quite a fun little app too.

I never run into issues.
There are issues. Download ShootU! lite, and try it full screen, then try it in the smaller window.

I dont use ShootU! lite. problem solved.
I haven't run into any issues with Compatibility Mode unchecked either and I do not use ShootU! lite.

Yes it will have consequences: a whole bunch of games that ordinarily wouldn't run right will now run correctly.
Honestly, I've been running with Compatibility Mode unchecked for a couple of months. It's one of the first things I do after flashing a new ROM. Haven't noticed any problems.

That did not work for me. Tried to run game with Spare Parts Compatibility mode checked AND unchecked, and it's the same small screen placed at top-center. Any ideas??? Running Cm7 nightly 125 with dalingrins kernel set to 1.3ghz...
Thanks. Seems like this might help fix a few irritating games (others that do the same thing).

You need to un-check compatibility mode and then re-start the Nook Color. Don't just turn the screen off, but hold down the power button until you get the "reboot" option and click it.

Thanks for the advice. I'll try that out and see how it goes. I'LLC keep you posted.

Latest update now works on my Nook full size.
I was on Amazon.com appstore and it informed me that there is an update for Fieldrunner HD. I updated and now I don't have the small size but the full screen.
how do I keep the TP from turning on while on the touchstone? I don't want a clock or pictures, I just want it dark in my room at night. I can turn off the power when I first set it on the dock but when its fully charged on pops the screen again. How can I disable this?
Thanks
install preware if you dont have it already, go to patches and look for charge only option. there's several to choose from. pick one you like and use.
I'm pretty sure if you hit the power button after exhibition mode starts it will turn the screen off for good. But what I did was install the minimum brightness patch so now when its in exhibition mode it is much darker and much less bothersome when trying to sleep. To install the patch you'll need preware installed.

Do you happen to know the name? I found one called Quick System Tasks and it locked up my tab. I looked through all the prepare apps and only found that one.

Are you using the Preware app on your Touchpad?
Preware -> Available Packages -> Patch -> Search -> Enter "Charge"
The search is started by tapping the magnifying glass in the top button, which brings up the keyboard. Type in "charge" (without the quotes).

Or when it receives any notifications for that matter. I've resorted to just keeping the cover on the HP case closed so it covers the screen when I leave it on the touchstone overnight.

If you're talking about the temp of the device, I'm not really sure. I installed the minimum brightness patch the second day I got it because it was way too bright to have as a bedside clock. I also have a case on it, but it doesn't feel warm when I take it off the stone. Also, the lowest brightness with the patch can only be set in the screen and lock app. You cannot set it from the drop down on the home screen.

uhhh im sure he is asleep by the time it fully charges.
i have a solution
1) put the charger and the touchpad into a box
2) tape the box up
3) put my address on the box
4) take it to the post office and send it to me
that should fix your problem

is there an app or way to have the touchpad show a screen show of pictures when i put it on the touchstone to charge? i believe it goes into 'dock mode' at that point and haven't found a way to make it do a screen show.
thanks in advance!
** should mention i'm running ics nightly 8/14 on it **
I know webOS does this. Not sure if there is an app for android that does the same. If not, then the closest thing you can get to that is to get a slideshow app and start it every time you charge the TouchPad.

There is an app on play Store called Docktor which would seem be just what you are looking for. It can be installed for free as trial with a limit of 50 uses.
However the count can be reset back to 50 by just going into settings then apps select Docktor and clear data.
Looks quite good I may actually use it myself.
Alternatively
Llama will do absolutely anything you want for any situation slightly more complicated but well worth the effort
I hope this helps.
It seems as if random apps are opening when I am trying to use the XZU. Such as trying to drag the top bar down to see the notifications. And everything becomes very sluggish before the phone no longer respnds to touch. If I then turn the screen off, it won't turn back on again, and I have to force a reset with the red button.
What I actually think is happening, is the XDU is displaying the Main Home Screen with the clock n it, but seems to be interpreting my touch as being used on the next screen to the left, where I have most of my app shortcuts, as thse are the apps that I remember starting 'randomly'.
Does any of this make sense or seem familiar?
seem like you have a faulty display.

or dirty screen
Screen is spotless. It's apps that aren't even on the current screen anyway. It might be a rogue app that's causing it. I've uninstalled one and not had the issue again yet. Strange!

What app was it?
Digital clock widget xperia. Might be coincidence but it's not happened since I removed it.

The clock app wasnt the cause. Next suspect is a dodgy looking game from China that I used for testing am ipega controller. It's called Assault.

Yeah, you should probably be a little more careful with the things you install, LOL. Not saying that your average Chinese app is malware of some sorts, but yeah... [emoji12]
Not an app after all. The touchscreen itself was dodgy. Now failed completely.
Anyone know how I can wipe the (unrooted) device completely before I send it back? Power & vol buttons ar still working, as is the screen itself. I just can't use touch to do anything.

Hi All
I am loving my new Nexus 9, but with a couple of issues.
The main one is that I screen mirror to my chromecast alot. The problem with this is being a 4:3 screen, my widescreen TV just has big black bars to the sides.
Is there anyway to force the tablet to be wide screen, where I will get the black bars on the tablet but then will be full screen on the TV?
Or is there anyway to stretch the output on the TV?
Maybe this app will help https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farmerbb.secondscreen.free
I'm not sure though. I just remembered this app from some time ago, and I don't have a chromecast to test with.

how to?
i modified aspect ratio in second screen, app and nothing changed, only in oversize, i can modify something, but only reducing image inside the 4:3 tv window, leting untouched the 2 black lines. 4 days working on, trying all the app, second screen app is the only one seems can do it, but only seems to?
