Tuesday, December 21, 2010

If you purchased a Samsung Galaxy Tab recently, you might be surprised that it does not run some apps in full screen mode. This is especially noticeable when playing games. The Galaxy Tab features a 1024 X 600 screen resolution which is not supported by many applications. No need to worry there is a work around that can help you.


How to run the Samsung Galaxy Tab android apps in full screen

• First logon to the Android Marketplace
• Search for an app called Spare Parts
• Download and install it
• Open Spare Parts and scroll down
• Look for an option called Compatibility mode
• Uncheck it and then check it again
• Restart your Samsung Galaxy Tab
• Now again start Spare Parts, uncheck compatibility mode
• Restart the device
• Done, all you apps will now work in full screen. 

You may notice a little pixelation on some apps due to the expanded view if the app was made for a very low resolution phone.
