I'm having an issue of Samsung live messeges as the window size became small, too small and I don't know how that happened or how to bring it back to normal size.
Can anyone help with that, please
Well did you change dpi?

Hi, I'm running into the issue that the screen is being rendered larger than the physical size of the screen so status boxes sometimes partially off screen and app icons get half hidden in the corners.
I plaid around with build.prop, but it didn't really help any. Is there a way to modify the home screen without changing the resolution? Also, if anyone knows of a way to change icon sizes short of installing a different launcher, that would be a huge plus.
TIA!
I've read that there are limitations in place for the preview image that kind of create this problem. If I understand the problem correctly it may be a case of changing pixel density but the preview image doesn't let you go beyond a certain density so even then the problem still exists. It's probably just something we have to deal with until Honeycomb becomes publically available for development.
This makes sense. The only reason I care about this is that when I use Aldiko, I can't see the top line of text because it pushes the words above the actual screen.
Does anyone have a recommendation for an E-Reader that they use successfully on HC???

You changed the LCD density in build.prop and the screen didn't change???
What is your lcd _density set at?
Sent from my NookColor using XDA App
I haven't really looked into this but I do know there are ports of honeycomb for various phones such a the evo, maybe try pulling the build.prop from one of those and see howe they altered screen density.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
i've tried changing the number but havent had much success through the buid.prop. Any ideas on a good number and which number to change? Looks like there are 3 density numbers
For Honeycomb, I found that 120 is the best lcd density, it shows all the options when you expand the settings from the clock, it also displays the correct number of running apps in the quick change button (or whatever you call it) Also, Lcddensity is a good app for trying out diffrent settings. For Aldiko, I recommend increasing the margin size to see the top line of text, not a perfect solution, but it works.
Hi, I am fairly new to Android development. I have a question regarding the Galaxy S. What is the stock screen density of this phone in 2.1? I am trying to create the Galaxy S environment on an emulator so that I can test my application (I do not own one of these phones). Does the density change in later versions?
I have read hxxp://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html
I know that the phone screen resolution is 480x800.
I am not sure what type of screen it is (Normal or Large), hence I cannot determine the density.
Is there an easy way of determining the density and screen type of a phone?
Thanks!
I do not know how to find out a density of other phones thought its a standard
But Samsung Galaxy S I9000 should have 240 (as seen in build.prop ro.sf.lcd_density=240 ) as the standard one and no it doesn't change in the versions.
(I use 200 though looks nicer )
Hmm, strange. The application seems to work fine with that configuration, yet one of the users is reporting an issue. I wonder if he changed the density..
Thanks for your help!
What kind of issue?
Well tell that guy to download spare parts and unticks "compatibility mode" if he is using changed density it may help him.
Grr. It was a simple user error. He thought the background picture was not appearing in the center, when it was. Just the way the picture is.
I started fiddling with making the application accessible to other densities. The AVD comes with a large screen, medium density skin (480x800/480x854 at 160dpi). Are there actually any devices that use that kind of setup? I ran my application at those settings, and for some reason it is loading the mdpi resource, which is designed for a normal screen (640x480).
Thanks for your help Pagot!
Hi Guys,
I have been enjoying a reduced size swipe keyboard ever since I got my Galaxy Note till I updated to Ice cream sandwich. Now with the update, the keyboard's width is being stretched to the maximum on both left and right sides. I really need it to be on a reduced size as its easier to swipe with one hand. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I really don't know as Im new to Android. I meddled with it and somehow got a reduced size, the keypad was positioned in the centre, almost 2cm spacing from the left and right of the screen.

How did you "meddle" exactly? Did you edit a specific file or setting? I'm sure you changed the resolution somewhere.
I'd also like to reduce the swype width. I downloaded the file "swype qhd by keaton" (google it) and it takes a centimeter off each side of swype on my galaxy nexus. It throws a resolution error in landscape mode though, and doesn't stretch.

I did not change any file or sort of that. I was stock. Might be some setting. And yes it does look like way u have with the blue glowy things at the background. Though mine was 2 cm from left and right as well as a proportionately reduced height.

Ok, I see. I'll post if I can find a solution, but I'm not very skilled at this. This needs to be an option for swyping on bigger phones.
hi guys ...
i have troubles with swype ... hated the version that came with ics (the suggestion bar on top of the keyboard was useful but quite annoying) ... i've installed the beta version, but its size was ridiculously small
i've found in beta apk some files "display#_SwypeScreen.ini" ...
and i've found that if you put them in system/data/data/com.swype.../swypedata
it will resize the keyboard nicely ... but only to a reboot when you have to do this again
any idea how to fix this?
Edit: this is a fix to the reboot issue ... quite a move
"option one - rotate the screen into landscape/portrait and then revert back - its sort of working. "

Hellò,
I would like to know why some contact pictures are showed in full screen while other, with same size and resolution are displayed very small.
I have assigned 3 picture with same size and resolution to 3 of my contacts but only one of them, when called (or when he calls me) the display shows the picture in full screen mode.
Does this happen to you also?
I don't want to use any application for full screen caller, I don't like it..
thanks for help

The text size of s10 keeps changing and becoming too large to read whole text in apps like instagram and pineterest. I have tried changing the font size to smaller multiple times. But after some time the text in instagram captions becomes too large to the extent that complete sentences are not visible. While the font size spec in settings remains the same. The same problem keeps happening again and again. Is this a bug or is there a solution for this.
