So on my old Toshiba Thrive 10.1, anytime I ran an app that wasn't optimized for the large screen, it asked me if I wanted to stretch to fit or something to that effect. Probably a Gingerbread thing?
On my TF700 I've been trying to play Avadon: The Black Fortress again, but no matter what the screen is like 60% what it should be.
Obviously with a 1920 x 1080 screen it's just not stretching it from the game's native 1024 x 768 size, but why won't it stretch?
What can I do to make it work out?
Thanks much!

I've not come across anything that doesn't stretch to compatibility mode yet? I'll see if I can try that game out.
EDIT: Ah not at £6.18 I won't!
EDITx2 : Found the demo

OK this is a poorly written app. It forces a resolution and doesn't use the Google api to stretch it. Uninstalling sorry but you'll have to ask the app dev to make it properly compatible.

Ha well thanks for trying! I e-mailed the dev and they didn't seem to understand... So just tried again.... I also tried decompiling and changing some things... But don't know enough for that!

- long battery life
- i dont want the screen to break easly. my iphone screen broke not long after i got it.

First thing: What is your budget?
Also, for breaking screens... The bigger the device, the easier the screen breaks [emoji4]

the last android phone i had was a samsung.

Well... The best option that I found, with a good performance & battery life for ~$300 is a Xiaomi RedMi Note 2. It's a pretty good phone, that can be rooted (or even comes pre-rooted out of the box). Has a 5" screen & runs on custom Android called MIUI that is loved all around the world [emoji1]

oh thank you very much! and thank you for info about big screen. that phone seems very intresting.
Hey, I've recently bought a S7 and now I face audio issues. Whenever I watch a video, listen to music, or play games, the audio would usually cut out, and resume after a minute or so. I've never gotten this issue using the 3.5mm headphone jack. Do you guys think it's a hardware or software issue?
Thanks.
that never happened to me before, did you drop it hard someday ? if not, then get it replaced
There is a whole thread about this issue, just type s7 sound problem in search box, one user posted videos. I have the same problem, still don't know what's causing it.

Apparently it has something to do with some Google apps, I'm not too sure how to fix it though.

I did dunk it in water a few times.
Hi,
I have the same problem with audio. It looks definitely as software problem. When the problem occurs i run Hardware diagnostic tests - *#0*# and run speaker test. After that test the speaker works fine.
For me it is something wrong with deep sleep or this doze feature.

Did you find that info online, or?
I tried contacting samsung, but they only said that i should bring the phone to closest service when the sound bug happens. The problem is that it can happen any time, and go away in the same manner -.-

I browsed around and found out that other devices suffer from these issues. Also, Samsung customer care told me to do a cache wipe and it still didn't fix the issue.
FIXED! After becoming angered with the device, I slapped the living hell out of it and there are no more issues! None whatsoever for about 1 month.
I also have the same problem, someone has solved?

I wouldn't recommend abusing your phone out of frustration (as noob924 claims to have done). Odds are greater that you'd damage it than that you'd find your issue resolved

Hardware problem......
i make an applications thats try to fix it temporary.
download : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wendyliga.s7soundfix
how it works?
This app simply request Audio Focus and then relase it again , so your Media Player (Youtube , Music , etc) can gain Sound again.
I wonder if the new portrait algorithm and HDR+ will ever be able to make it to the Pixel/Pixel XL? I don't see why it could not be able to do it? From my understanding, the Pixel 2/Pixel 2 XL could be using the same camera as the HTC U11 since google bought out HTC's mobile department. Both cameras are 12mp 1.4um PDAF dual pixel sensors.
We all know how wonderful the original Pixel/Pixel XL sensor is so I don't see why google cannot make their new algorithm work. Hopefully a wonderful developer can take the apk and work their magic if google do not release an official update.
I wonder if the same Russian Developers BSG can extract the apk and do his thing like what he did with the modded version he has now. Sucks I can't type in Russian or else I would ask him myself.
me,too.For now there is just a camera apk with motion function
A little bit off topic but I'm wondering if there's any camera specially developed for the pixel on xda?

I don't see why they cant bring it to pixel one as well the idea and algorithm seems to hint the possibility on pixel one too. read how pixel 2 does portraits here

Why does everyone think that the portrait mode done on the Pixel 2 is purely software based? It's not, it has special hardware to do it, do people even read?

Yes it can't be, but see here, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exmor#List_of_Exmor_RS_sensors
IMO, Pixel 2 using same sensor camera (IMX 362, Dual-pixel, PDAF) hardware phone like HTC U11, ASUS ZenFone 3 Zoom and even Moto G5 Plus.
So, if any dev can ported it software, maybe it can works with other phone with same sensor, support PDAF (dual-pixel).
I heard on a Pixel review video that the Pixel 2 Camera APK can be put onto the pixel... does anyone have a link on where this is done? Thanks!

No, lol. I was actually not being sarcastic by that comment so sorry if it sounded like that. Maybe I should have said, have fun instead haha. Those are safe but the newest ones are test/beta and there are some stable ones. Just go through the link and read up on changelogs and stuff. I use Arnovas gcam which I prefer. The different devs has different preference so basically you'll have to test them out for yourself and see what you prefer.

Want to try the abundance of new Android P features announced at I/O? If you have the right phone, you can try them today. Google is releasing a public Android P beta for 11 phones, including its own Pixel phones, the Essential Phone, Sony's Xperia XZ2, Xiaomi's Mi Mix 2S and the upcoming OnePlus 6. Sorry, Samsung fans. You won't want to install this beta if you need a completely reliable phone, but Android P's features may be worth trying if you're willing to experiment.

Just announced. Anyone going to take the plunge? I did as soon as Oreo beta was available, some growing pains but overall was worth it.
Too many bad known issues for me to play with it...
What issues are they having so far? Will be nice to get updates quickly, like a Pixel, without the Pixel 2/XL price tag...
SIP appears to be borked...no IP SMS, VoLTE, Video Calling...
Yeah, it's not even worth considering for anything but a dev working on app development. Might be ok for a daily driver in a couple months...
looks like they removed the link already, after I flashed it of course. I don't have wifi currently

Not sure then, but in any case, unless you want to ruin your phone, there is no point installing it... It's not even close to being ready... This is more like an Alpha version, than a Beta version...

So far:
-Notch settings have been removed, so no more immersive mode as of now
-Things are very very smooth, no glitchy animations or anything
-Have not run into any app issues in the few I've run
-Gestures are, ummm, strange? Going to take some getting used to for sure. in a way it is a whole new paradigm. After so many years using android, it feels really weird. I don't really like that if you try to swipe up your app drawer though the "current apps" view pops up behind it. Doesn't looks great and seems like a poor ui choice. I'm sure this will change though
Altogether, so far so good honestly. Seems like daily driver material for my usage

The same way earlier versions of essential phone software did, either a double size notification blind or blacked out
