While I'm glad that Samsung has decided by themselves that my games need to run in fullscreen, I have text and buttons scrolling off the screen I can barely get to, or can't read at all because of this. How do I disable this and get my games back? When I go into the display settings, the apps are greyed out and do not give me an option to shut this off.

Hey there,
Another way to disable fullscreen is to press the all apps button in the nav bar and then that small black button you can see in the screenshot. That disable fullscreen for me. But keep in mind that there are apps that automatically change to fullscreen because they are optimized for that.
Hppe that helped you out.
Which games do you mean especially?
Then i could try it myself

Sorry, I tried to attach a screenshot last night and I don't know why it didn't work. I shall try again here, but when I choose the All Apps sort, I have no black button anywhere except the bottom left of the screen which hides the navigation bar from the settings screen, but does nothing for my games. Also, yes, as you mentioned, this is one of those games that Samsung wants to say is "optimized" and disables the option for me to turn it off. Been playing this game for about a year(?) and this did not happen until about a week ago. WWE Champions is the name. You can see the titles in each section being cropped off and you kind of make out a button to the right of "Expedition", or "Xpedition" on my screen that is almost completely hidden.

Ok i have the same pronlem with the game.
I forgot to attach the screenshot in my first response.
I'll attach it now that you know what i actually meant.
You could try to contact the support and tell them the game is not correvtly sized.
If you are rooted you can try to edit your screen resolution so that the game could(don't know if that would even works)
Sorry i couldn't help more
I appreciate the help, but, yeah, I have had complaints about Samsung's Game Tools ever since I've owned this phone and this will likely be my last Samsung phone if I can help it. Was so much happier with my old Nexus 6P stock Android.
Hey, I have the exact same problem.
I've updated to Android 9 with my S9+ Yesterday and then I found out that the WWE SuperCard game is stretched because of this problem. The system thinks it's optimized for the screen but it isn't.
Is there any solution for this problem?
Android 9 sucks! Trash ! Rubbish !
Prefer 8.1 Oreo
I think it primarily turned out to be a developer issue. Their code was causing it to look bad until they patched it. I gave up on the game eventually, but I also ditched my S8+. Went with the Pixel 3 XL and couldn't be happier.
So, did it get solved??
I have the same problem with WOT Blitz. I cannot play the game anymore. Since updating to Android 9, the system says the game is optimised for full screen, which it is not, so I cannot see the entire screen and buttons moved to the side. Did anyone find a solution in the end?
Like I just mentioned before, it's very likely a developer issue versus the phone. They will likely have to release a patch, but I just got tired of dealing with it. Have had zero problems with the Pixel 3 XL and never going back to Samsung.
Yes!!! Away with spamsung from the earth!!!
Spammy should be banne, ssued and shut down by now!!!

I have read alot of posts and have found that the most popular home screen is HTC Home. There are others that prefer paid for applications. But here is my question. Has anyone ever ported a smartphone home screen for use on the Herald?
My daughter has a T-Mobile Shadow which uses a nice home screen and actually highly functional for average user. I have also seen a YouTube video of another home screen that was just gorgeous. Personally I prefer to keep my stylus holstered at all costs since I have damaged my screen with the elements in my area. Besides that whenever I hand my phone to anyone I have to give them a crash course in using my phone. I know it is simply tap the power button and press the green button but they will stand there forever trying to figure it out. I was just wondering if anyone has seen anything like I am talking about? It would be a nice change from HTC Home.
Nothing beats the HTC home screen in my opinion. do you have the cube feature?
I am not arguing the quality of HTC Home I have used it a while now. I would just like a change and I have a few little complaints about HTC Home specifically with the Music tab. It doesn't take focus on what button you are on while navigation using the directional pad. I take it most people use there stylus so it does not bother them and it is minimal so I have no problems with it.
As to the Cube no I do not have it installed and I again don't like to touch the screen I have already accrued enough damage and my finger tips are worse than the stylus. Thank you for your suggestions and interest in my post.
Is there a video or pictures of the htc home screen, I'm new to all this?
I like to keep my today screen simple and clean...
I really hated HTC Home... it was too big and clunky, didn't fit my needs and just got on my nerves!
I use Ultimate Launch to tab SPB Phone suite, SPB Time, SPB Weather

Thanks for the suggestions duprade & pseudoproto. Both of your Home Screens are awesome and well put together I will say. After duprade's post I tried all the Today plugins I could find and none had the feel of stability to me. I am not complaining or knocking on their designs. I am specifically looking for a direct port from another windows mobile device at this time. Again thanks hope I make sense I think I want a Smart Phone on a Pocket PC how sad lol.
just try ultimate launch or spb pocket plus it works very good it is a kind of a cube on your today screen to launch some apps or something like that try it and i think it will be the right thing for you just google ;-)
hhh_www you may be right and I have tried it and it was fun. But I haven't a artistic bone in my body. So everything I put together looks like crap. I am just hopeful for a few specific details I see in my daughters Shadow. The WMP on the scrolling screen w/ Album Art. That is so appealing.
Here is a screen shot of that in action you might understand why I like it so much.

There's a thread. It's called "Post your todayscreen"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=360897
maybe you can look in there and see what you like.
There are tons of these "Post your todayscreen" type threads all over the forum. If you could find a few look through it, and see what you like.
I was thinking about, as the subject, to an app who allow to map the g-sensor as an hardware button.
In some games, for example, where you can assign an action to a button, would great to incline the diamond and assign the action you need (L,R, Up & Down)
I don't know about how work has to be done, but imagine isn't too easy.
the problem is that the Diamond only has one button for personalize: large press in call botton
but other option is use a sensible area of screen how the squares touch pad in notebooks
It would just be a matter of a background process watching the G-Sensor and sending keystrokes via the keybd_event function to the foreground window/focused control. Good idea, and would be pretty easy, but I'm too busy.
I hardly doubt, that you can play with such controller
Like, stressing phone, and screaming at it, as you cannot progress the game
The most suitable is the semi-transparent on-screen controller, like in NES emulator
But withvirtual pad you can't push "Up+A" (per exemple) because WM dont accept "Dual Touch"
Sorry 4 my English...
I think that the game is playable... just find a GOOD algorithm to balance the sensitivity (not too inclined for a direction) and the directions (up, up-right, right, etc)
This is the usually iphone example
BTW think how many game with the emulators and, why not, at the "never seen touchxperience rom"... sending keystrokes (up, down, left, right) in the today screen, album.... to the ACTIVE WINDOW

Please find the time, I think a lot of people would be most appreciative, you've already done so much for the diamond community, c'mon Koush blag a day off work and sort it out! It would almost give us vuflo!
Ok I have began writing this application like an hour ago.
I will keep you updated as soon as I have something usable. (the program works already, but I have to create some windows so you can configure it)

Awesome, can't wait to try this out, thanks for taking this on.
WoW Great NEWS! but all those g-sens related apps can goes in conflict... make in mind to consider a function that auto-rotate the screen (and also the G-gestures)... two control panels like the "Brins0net ScreenRotator" to exclude the rotation of the screen & G-gestures, and the possibility to add windows in execution would be GREAT
...maybe now i'm asking too much BTW it will be THE ONLY NECESSARY G-app in background, for all diamond users.
(hemm should be considered also a screen lock, but is not too necessary)

I'm still working on about all those things...
Now is cup of coffee time
I will first of all end up the "VueFlo"-side of the app and make a first release, then I'll see for other functions like AutoRotation and the interaction between that and "VueFlo".
Just wait a little, I'm almost done with first release
A couple of days ago the alarm clock in my Mini sounded, so I tried to take it not looking at it, touching the screen, buttons and who knows what else. The thing is, when I looked at the screen, there was a new bar!
It looked like this

Not exactly, since that's a quick Photoshop work I've done, but you get the idea.
Does anyone know to make it appear again? It was the first time I saw it
just tap at left of edge icon (E or G).
Could you specify where exactly? (in a picture or something). I'm trying what you said but I only get the Notifications window
Exactly below The H of HTC logo at top.
Thanks, but that only takes me to the notifications window... have you seen the image I posted?
i think that might be appearing due to any of insatalled application on my device. and yes it is as per the screen shot(not photoshoped). A zoom button, clock, connectivity, battery, etc.
Yeah that's what I was thinking, but I haven't installed anything like that, that's the weird thing
There's a guy in a Spanish forum who saw that bar once also, but no idea how he managed to show it
i saw a similar taskbar but disappeared the same way you mentioned before
Same here...i was reading a buk using adobe reader when i accidently pressed taskbar..this another bar poped up but was gone next second....i tried several times after that...got it one more time..but not after that..
taskbar
I have this piece some times after I have established foreign taskbar crept out!
I got it. Install X-task. and u will get it every time.
Do you mean this one?
I don't really care about having that taskbar or not, what I'd like to know is just how that happened and how can I see it again.
Mine didn't show and disappeared again, I pressed the zoom icon and my screen zoomed in a lot. Then I tapped the X and the screen went to the normal view, with no taskbar this time.

go for this.
The bar you've seen is probably the original WM 6.5.x bar which is normally hidden by default, due to the HTC bar, might be a bug if this old one appears.

How do we get back this original WM bar?
I guess if you disable/uninstall HTC Sense... but dunno how
I've tried that. Didn't work. Still get HTC notifications.

Instal the task manager and whenever you tap the clock you will get the bar pop up.
I was trying to add the maps app to my mult-itasking bar and couldn't seem to find a way to do it. On watching a couple of YouTube videos I see there appears to be an edit button at the bottom of the bar on those notes which doesn't appear on mine.
Am I being really dense on not being able to see how to access this button?

the edit button only appears when you have too many apps for that bar.
Samsung have made a list of what apps can be used in this mode, maps is not one of them.
A hack is being worked on to allow all apps to be used in this mode, please see the sticky thread.
It was because I saw maps on the list of apps in that thread that I was trying to add it. Never mind, just a minor thing. I'm just curious that, if the edit button only appears when there are too many apps on the multi-tasking bar, how do you actually add or remove apps when it isn't there? Or do apps that can be use this facility (on unrooted phones) automatically add themselves there?
Thanks for your help.
I have maps in my multitasking bar!
From the.start. LIJ1 Italian.

ah actually good point, maps is one of the apps.
Are you sure you have maps installed?
Yep, have maps installed.
Maps should then default to being one of the items in the side-bar
Yes the maps is there,and also it looks like there are omly 12 applications supported as of yet,you can remove or move them back when you hit the Edit button and drag any of them to the right lane or back to the left.
Must be a glitch on my phone then. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling the maps app to see if it would make a difference but no luck. Any ideas gratefully received.

have you tried turning it off and on again? (no joke)
If the reboot doesn't fix it can you post us a picture of your sidebar?
to take a screenshot take the spen out, press the spen button and tap and hold the middle of the screen.
Yes, tried that. It's about all I know how to do!
Hopefully here are 2 screenshots showing the entire multi-tasking bar.

for starters try the app "live score addicts" for football results, its the best I have come across in 3 years with android.
back on-topic...
maps definitely is not there, weird.
I take it you have not modified the firmware at all? on a completely stock rom?
Maps is installed as a /system/ app you see, and it is that specific package name that is allowed for multi-tasking, if for some reason you don't have it installed as a /system/ app there is a slim chance its under a slightly different package name and multi-view just won't see it.
Edit:
can you post me a screenshot of the page displayed when you go *#1234# in the dialer.
Here you go.
Maps is here, and *#1234# results
Interesting Lofty, your actually on quite old firmware (well older than most of us with split-screen ability).
Where did you get the phone?
Vodafone upgrade. Maybe it has something to do with all the crap they stick on the phone.

It would be very easy, if you wanted, to unbrand that device and put the latest UK unbranded firmware on it but at the risk of voiding your warranty (although tbh it shouldn't).
If you are interested in this just PM me and I will give you the simple instructions.
Have we found a way yet?

Usually you click it once and it's gone for good.
Some apps still don't display correctly such as Microsoft Remote Desktop when you tap for entire screen.
Pretty annoying really
Add me to the list of people who find this really irritating! I get it on all my (Nova Launcher) home screens, and in a selection of apps (haven't figured out yet why some apps show it and others don't).
Subscribing to the thread in the hope that somebody will figure out a way to make it go away!
This is quite simple actually:
Go to Settings, then display, then full screen and then toggle all apps to full screen and, voila!

For me it just disappears after a minute. For example kodi get stretched if using fullscreen and if I disable fullscreen it disappears.

Yes, this is definitley annoying to be constantly there, and for video apps that aren't optimized for full screen. Like MLB At Bat games are shifted to the left side of the screen with one black bar on the right and it just looks weird. I'd rather have black bars on both sides or at least be able to stretch it out to full screen.

I think the problem is that some apps will not show correctly in full screen mode so anytime I use the app in normal mode there will be a line show " Tap here to fill the entire screen "
Add me also here !!! so annoyed ! !

So I am having this issue in Chrome which essentially gives you no back button when browsing. How stupid. So I just figured out that if I scroll to the bottom of a sight, sort of like the opposite of dragging a screen down to refresh, you drag it up from the bottom and you get a black semi circle thing show up. Click on it somehow while it appears and then you get the menu back, but it says double click the dot on the left to make it locked in.
And... it seems to have fixed it across all of my apps, not just Chrome! That's all I have for now.. hope it helps
