No Fullscreen for Some Apps and Games - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Some apps and games will not fit my screen for some reason. I have a Revvl V+ and this is getting irritating. The apps will only appear a little larger than half of my screen. Any suggestions would help.
Some apps include: Pray Always!, Bethesda Pinball, Sonic Jump
I attached a picture to show what I mean.
Thank you

These apps are not meant for your devices dimensions. It would strech the screen out, or make part of the game disappear/break if it tried to fit your devices demensions.

Ok
1st) the graphics are original sorry you dont like them and it doesnt support multi-touch
2nd) I know people with touch HD2 and there was no lag so i dont know why it lagged on yours.
3)Your charactor disappeared? or did you get killed!!
you said the screen froze and you had to reset. There is an exit button on top right corner of the screen. Did you try pressing that.
4)I find it hard to believe since i know people with touch HD2 and it worked but sorry it for some reason didnt work on yours.
I have only border of a button in right top corner, however clicking it did not help.
Perhaps because I have task manager installed in that place?
I have stock rom and improved opengl drivers installed.
something doesnt make sense?

Testing on an Acer/ETAN m900
Using the little Christian-Style D-Pad (seriously, is it meant to look like a cross) was pretty difficult I must say. I got about 20 meters into the level (that is, if the avatar was human sized) and killed a couple baddies before it bugged out.
The bottom ~1/3 of the screen was showing on the top, and the rest was moved down. It's the kind of thing I see on this device when something is designed for VGA or 4:3 but now 16:9.. this struck me as odd as it bailed with a message "requires 800x480 res" on the Diamond and i900.
All considered a good start IMO.

Actully the game is made for 480x800 resolution exactly. If your device isnt that exact resolution the game will not run. Its wvga resolution only no auto-scale sorry.

That was kind of my point. The M900 is a 800x480 device. It worked for a while, but then wigged out and looked like it was writing to the frame buffer the same way VGA or QVGA apps do on this handset.

[Q] Motion Sensor working in reverse?

Hi,
Whenever I try a game that uses the S2's motion sensor like Glyder or Nova 2, left and right seem to be switched. Maybe its me, but it just feels wrong when you lift the left side of your phone and your view or character goes left as well.
Does anyone know if this is configurable, because it doesn't seem to be an option within the games.
Thank you for any feedback.
Regards,
Karel
Calibrate your sensors (Settings > Display Horzontal/Gyro Calibration) and also check in-game settings?

Get glyder from the market instead of Samsung Apps. The one from Samsung doesn't work properly.
Glyder also does this on my phone. Tried calibrating, assumed it's a game glitch.
Hi,
Thank you all for the tips.
I've actually tried horizontal calibration, but nothing changes.
I'll try downloading the Glyder app from the market instead and see if that makes a difference.
For Nova you can actually set the gyro settings to 270 degrees instead of 90, but then up and down handles a bit awkward.
I'm guessing there is no solution for this yet so I'll wait for someone to release an app for this someday.
Just one of the disadvantages of a brand new phone model
Wow! I thought that was how Glyder was supposed to be ... I actually got pretty good at the controls
Update
Just a quick update to say the market Glyder app is working fine.

[Q] Card Ace: Hold 'em

Has anyone got Card Ace: Hold 'em poker (from Self Aware Games) to run full screen on their 101?
It isn't in the market, so I sideloaded it from a Titanium backup. It isn't full screen and some of the interactive elements block parts of the screen.

This is a known failure...
Are they multiple versions of that game?
If yes, you could have luck, just test all, we did this with all gameloft games
The bug is there because the most games are just for screens with a resolution of 840(or 856)x480 pixels..
Our 1024x600 Screen is just to big, there is no way to make these games work on fullscreen...
the only option you have is to test all versions of that game

Dead Space controlls questions

I have some Dead Space controlls questions...
First of all, how do you "disarm"? If I am holding the gun, and want to open something, I always end up shooting it and wasting ammo.
How do I change weapons? For example, I walked up to a power pack and needed to use the saw on it. If I hit the button on the top right of the screen, it only shows the gun. Somehow, I managed to switch to the saw, but I don't know how...
I feel like I am missing something basic here. Any help would be appreciated!
Sent from my CM7 HP Touchpad
i wasnt gonna answer cuz you can find this in the help in-game, but to put your gun away, tap the left side twice to 180-degree turn, or click the top right button and the nav indicator.
or you just tap the green circle to open, and nothing else, thats what i do
PLEASE READ THE IN GAME HELP! it has all teh controls and instructions there
Well your sort of being unhelpful. For some reason on the touchpad disarm does not work. Walking forward to running the character should plus his weapon downside there must be a controller problem due to the screen size/aspect ratio.
i found dead space to be unplayable on touchpad. maybe the touchscreen drivers aren't as accurate as they are on some other android devices. my character turns around a lot for no reason while I'm trying to walk around. play on the g2 though. good game. going to try to map ps3 controller to touchscreen for dead space on TP.
Maybe that 16:9 status bar mod works but I'm waiting for a option to toggle that as having that ugly bar is a mono.
I had the same problem
sadly, I gave up and moved on

Scramble with friends

Screen gives me problems
How does it work for yall
same here, we'll have to wait till an update is out for us
it's still playable though
Yeah it's playable, but trying to click letters fast does strange things, causing missing letters, so i have to start again
Like sometimes I'll click 3 letters then I'll auto accept the word, like aren't you supposed to click the checkmark manually?
Was wondering if this was just a note problem because the whole game screen doesn't scale right on the note
Update out on Play. UI compatibility with GNOTE fixed. Enjoy!
EDIT: It still makes my phone lag like CRAZY, off to the trash can goes this app once more.
yeh, messes up the sound sometimes too
The app puts a strain on the battery too.
