Vertical cut off in FTV - Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I have Script Manager installed on FTV. The problem is that all menu items are cut off at the top and some cut off on the left horizontal as well. I tried Rotation Manager, Rotate Screen Orientation and Rotate, but none seem to help. My problem is not so much as rotating, but moving the app down vertically so menu items are displayed at the top.
Any suggestions?

Check to see if your TV has an overscan/cropping option that you can modify. You can also try shrinking the output screen under Settings > Display and Sounds > Display.
This is why official Fire TV apps are supposed to assume the edges of the screen are cut off.

themeing gurus: random background?

I have a few backgrounds that I'd like to rotate with the same homescreen. Is there a way (scripting maybe?) to rotate the background? Even if it's once per day or something. tried looking for something that'd do this or a way to do it and so far have come up empty.
I found a program called ThemeChanger that will rotate a background, except I've noticed is that although the default background (as configured in the theme xml file) works flawlessly, if I go through Start>Settings>Background and select another background image that I created (using the same exact detentions) the backgound is positioned directly above the bottom mru plugin. Also, the background to the mru is white, which looks horrible. I've tried setting the bgcolor to black, but that didn't seem to work. Here's an example:
Homepage using "Default" in Start>Settings>Background, displaying the images configured in the xml file:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Homepage using alternate background image as set in Start>Settings>Background. Notice how the highlighted areas no longer match up with the information.. the image is positioned from the bottom, above the mru.
Yes, I have a thing for guys in ties.
Thanks!
bump. anyone?
WM6/Rogers fixed the issue. Yay.

It is to select things with a keyboard when you have that connected.
I have seen it without a keyboard on the Note 2, and I suspect it has something to do with the way Samsung made the S Pen software. They have set Air view to be a part of the Accessibility options, and I have heard that you can get brail keyboards to use with Accessibility options too.
You could try to turn off Air View in Settings -> S Pen -> Air View and see if that removes the box. The box doesn´t show up regularly for me, so I have not been able to test that theory.
I think it's an android bug because do the same with S1(cm10), S2(4.1.1), S3(4.1.2 root) Xperia T(4.1.1) ... but just in these case:
open Facebook app>check who is online (man with 3 line icon from top right ) > back 2 times (from phone button ) > and now one icon from top it's on box, but disappears after touching the screen...

run 2 apps on screen at same time

Is it possible to run 2 different apps on screen at the same time , like say youtube and chrome . I'm not sure if the phone has the feature
Well, there is an option to run two instances of one app. So you can use two whats app accounts. And with Nougat update you can set split screen in "Recent Apps" menu by dragging one app to the top of the screen and choosing an other one for the bottom of the screen.
Possible in Android 7.

You have two options.
1. Open both apps, as you said YouTube and chrome. Click back/finger print soft button a bit for multi tasking window, click top of one app and drag till the taskbar and release your finger, there you have it.
2. Open the above two apps, or more. Slide the bottom part of screen to reveal on screen navigation bar if you have disabled it. Click and hold multitask button for a bit. That's it.

Go to settings,
Go to home setting,.
Scroll to btm, uncheck the
"Rotate to landscape view".
Maybe this will help.
There are other check boxes in the "home" setting which might need your attention. ?

Question Is there any way to disable the "tablet flag" in the inner screen?

The external screen behaves as a regular phone screen, but the inner/main/foldable screen behaves as a tablet screen, which changes some apps behavior a bit. For example Opera shows tabs in that mode, unlike the fullscreen layout of the "phone mode", and Youtube does not go fullscreen when you turn the phone, instead it just rotate the video screen (like a webpage).
Is there a way to force the "phone mode" in this screen? IMO it is not big enough to act as a tablet.

I don't think that setting tells Android that you want phone resolution so that apps present differently. This setting is more for Samsung-modified apps and global settings screens can split navigation, erc.
It was exactly that, unfortunately I also liked the split view in some apps
Thank you Atthorpe.

Right?, I wish they would make it so we could choose which we wanted per app
