[Q] SmartView scale issue - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
One of the reasons I've chosen Galaxy Note was that I have a Samsung D series TV at home and I'd like to use SmartView application on my Note.
Unfortunately phone version of SmartView does not scale good on the 1280x800 Galaxy Note screen.
Is there a solution for this ?
In general, is there a solution for screen scale on Galaxy Note ?

What dpi are I on? Seems to be Samsung apps that don't scale properly, for other apps that don't sale properly I use nitrality to scale to 240 and have application scaling ticked, that seems to fix all my apps so far other than Samsung apps.
Hope this helps.

none of the samsung touchwiz apps scale to lower DPI
Can u check if s-memo scales properly with nitrality. ( too laszy to install myself )

so ?
we don't have any chance with SmartView on Note ?

correct me if i am wrong, but isnt galaxy tab 10.1 has the same resulution as the galaxy note?
could there be a tab version of the smart view app?
i downloaded the one on the market. the dual view show up but it has some decoding error.
Edit: the smart remote app tab version works perfectly on the note... so i guess it's a tab none tab problem...
maybe someone with a galaxy tab 10.1 can try to pull the apk and try it

tab version should be compiled for Android 3.x
So, I believeit won't work on Note (which is Android 2.3.x)

:/ for me the remote app tab version runs and detects the tv, but then after i click to connect to the tv it FCs ... weird, have no idea what can be wrong, the smartview app works fine

^^ what do you mean by "smartview app works fine" ?
Does the smartview for TAB app work fine on your Note ?
How can we get that app ?

I'd appreciate an answer...

ooops sorry, didn't subscribe to the thread so I ended up forgetting about it ._.
What I meant is, smartview works, instead of FCing like the remote app for the TAB, but smartview does not scale properly also for me.
In the market i do not find smartview for TAB, only the remote app.
The remote TAB app scales properly, if it wasn't incompatible with android 2.3.6 shouldn't it fc as soon as I try to launch it? it only fcs after I try the demo or try to connect to TV.

I think we have to find the Smartview app for Galaxy Tab 10
can any Tab 10 owner submit the apk here ?

I have spent hours on the phone with Samsung over the galaxy s2 skyrocket not working with the dual view part of this apk. I got both tabs and the galaxy s2 to work with dual view on my TV.
I was told by several Samsung employees to strongly voice my dissatisfaction in the android market.

Any Tab -owners who could provide the smartview tab prog? Smartview from the market works but does not scale like mentioned on this thread. Thnx already!

I don't understand why Samsung Tab owners do not share their apk file here ???

Its So damn lame of Samsung to not have this app to the Note!
I got a Galaxy 5.0 Wifi and it works great..
Even have a "ripped" version of the Dual view, but it shows half the screen..
Any progress on this?

[Q] Anyone have issues with certain apps not displaying FULLY on the Notes screen?

Hi All,
As the title asks... Is anyone else having issues with apps not displaying "fully" on the screen of the Note?
I have an issue with the "Scrabble Free" game where it runs ok but it only shows the game screen in the top left corner of the screen. It is showing the WHOLE page but it is less that a quarter the size of the screen.
Can someone maybe download this game and see if its that same for you? Its free. And if anyone has other apps that they have this issue with then perhaps share them here so we can make a list of these "wonky" apps.
If you know how to fix this then please advise as well.
Thanks,

No. I have not changed the DPI settings at all however I am running Darky Note ROM... Perhaps the ROM has changed my DPI settings? Everything else seems normal on the ROM though except that in the Dialer for example and in the Task Manager app - the Selection Bar that is usually in the top of the screen shows now at the bottom but I thought this may be a feature of the ROM...
What is the standard / stock DPI of the Note?

Thanks for the info. Would you mind perhaps DL'ing the Scrabble game to see if it does the same for you? I have an email out to EA Games on this but have not heard back yet. Perhaps I can get them to update the game for the Note if needed so that this issue can be avoided in the future...

The stock DPI is 320.
But if you have not modded it the chances are that it is at the stock value.
Nevertheless, install any DPI changing software from the market, they generally show the current value. if you are at 320 dpi then it most probably is the problem with the app. otherwise just change to 320 reboot and check

Hmmmmm... Perhaps it IS an app related issue. Can you please install the Scrabble game and tell me if you have the same issue? That would be most helpful.

I should mention that one of my chess clients also does not display properly. Granted chessboards are square...
It's an app issue. Various old apps have this problem.
For some apps, you can download spare parts and enable the compatibility mode.
If I do this for bonsai blast, it runs full screen but it is choppy.

Spare Parts eh? Is that what the app is called in the market? Just "Spare Parts"?

Iam using Spare Parts+ (Plus), It fix this problem for some apps, but some apps are not made for Note, so it will not fix them , for ex. iGO Navigation
Ibrahim keyboard a keyboard for Arabic language. .. Does not show right. .. Smaller and looks funny. .. ..
Also have some app, not the main content of the app, but just the loading is no displaying fully (Match En Direct)

[Q] Auto-rotating doesn't work

Hello there.
I have installed jb on a friend's phone, upgraded from a gb darkyrom variant and apparently auto-rotation does not work...
The accelerometer works fine as I've tested it with some app from the market.
What can I do?
thx
Hey

Does the ROM really matter? Since it's happening on 3 variants of jb (supernexus, cm10.1 and AOSP).
Right now I told him to use a force-rotate workaround, using an app from the store, but it would be nice if auto-rotate would work.
Thanks.

There are various apps that test the accelerometer, you can then check if its a hardware/software issue.
You can check in the display make sure to tick it, or if not got to play store and download orientation switch to test it out.
The accelerometer totally works. It worked before with GB and it works on JB using an accelerometer test app.
It's the auto-rotation that does not work. Forcing orientation with a play store app works. But I'd like auto-rotation to work
Any help please?

Change DPI

Hi, i can't change dpi settings on this tab with several different apps like build.prop.editor.
Seems like the changed settings will not apply.
I hope someone knows how or why ?
Thx in advance
I was able to after rooting and used "Root DPI changer" app
Sent from my SM-T810 using Tapatalk
thnx. worked great with root dpi changer. I think everything looks so much better with dpi set to 270
What's the default dpi on the 9.7?
320dpi
Does anybody know the default dpi value of t710?
I just successfully used this method on the stock ROM, non-root to change DPI:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-verizon/general/root-want-to-modify-dpi-t2960644
Note: I am using the 9.7 Tab S2 T817V (Verizon) on Build LMY47X.T817VVRU1AOG9
TouchWiz doesn't really play nice with lower DPI's (running 270) so would recommend Nova or another launcher as well. I hope this helps someone!

I tried but contacts and native browser crash...per app settings module through xposed is best for TW imo...on non-tw yes textdroider dpi, root dpi etc apps work well
Sorry to hear that didn't work for you, both seem to be running fine for me. Totally agree that root is the way to go! Unfortunately for me it's not an option thanks to device requirements at the office. Cheers!

wondering how that happens..maybe a 9.7 s2 versus an 8.0 thing...as this same issue was there on both tab s 8.4 and the tab pro 8.4...wholesale changing of dpi leads to crashes in the contacts etc as those are still TW as is status bar etc (regardless of the launcher-phone dialer apk are still basically TW..using another app for contacts and dialing still relies on the native dialer app once you get past the substitute dialer app interace-to give an example)

yes for non root maybe this works to some extent I agree

Galaxy Gear and Galaxy S6 - No Notifications

Hello Internets, new poster here.
After many hours of trawling through the internet and coming up short I thought I'd register here and see if I can't get to the bottom of my issue. I have a Galaxy S6, and a friend is lending me his Galaxy Gear original as he doesn't have much use for it anymore (switched to a Nokia running Windows). It's been fun to have and play around with, apart from one small problem; no notifications aside from SMS'. None whatsoever. I've gone through the gear manager and ticked every box for every notification setting and still I get nothing apart from texts and calls. Does anyone know why this is and how I should go about fixing it? I'm aware that it's an older device, but I see no reason why I should have these problems, its a watch DESIGNED for Galaxy Smartphones.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance
I should also mention that my phone is running Android 5.1.1 and the Gear is running V700XXUBNC1.
Coincidentally, I might put this forward, am I better off trying to flash Tizen? I've seen a couple videos on it, and it seems far far better than the Android software.
Hello,
I have a Galaxy j5 device (also a 5.1.1) and was also wondering if it will work with my gear1, did it work for you on your S6 ? Did you stay on android or switched to tizen, and which gear manager did you use, the one in the Galaxy App Store ?
Thanks

I still don't get notifications for anything but SMS, but it "functions" with me S6 fine I suppose. I've kept everything stock android so far, and the gear manager I'm using came pre-installed on the S6.
On my J5 I can download the latest Galaxy Gear app from the Galaxy store and it works but don't know if it will pair with gear 1, will be getting it next week, for sure the google play Galaxy gear app only supports the s2 and doesn't work on 5.1.1.
Also if I remember well for notifications to work on 5.1.1 the is an option in settings that needs to be flipped.
Notification access
Try enabling notification access in settings-security

Galaxy Tab A, and Android Auto

I tried to install Android Auto from the play store, it says my tablet is not compatible. i tried side loading AA from mirrorlink, and it downloaded, and installed, when running the program, it says that google cant use the app. is there something i am missing,
Galaxy Tab A 8.0, with Samsung 9.5, and Android 8.1

BUMP? was curious.... i have the same thoughts
I had similar experience on my Tab S4. My impression is that Google has blocked AA from working on tablets.

You can spoof some other device name (need to be rooted)... my tab2 (p5100) is working as a phone (i think there is also an app to to the same).. use build.prop editor and than reboot... simple :laugh:
Good luck.

Could you, please, dm me with what exactly should I change in build.prop file?
Bumping this rather than starting a new thread...
I side-loaded Android Auto onto My Samsung Tab S7, but it will not run. I'd like to use the tablet rather than my small phone as my AA display in the car. I've tried a couple of the other Auto-focused launchers, but prefer AA. Anyone doing this, is there a simple fix/work around?
The earlier posts suggest it is possible, I guess I'm looking for a bit of hand-holding on what I have to do to get it to work.
Thanks in advance.
