Hey guys,
Played with the store model outside of demo mode. On YouTube and some games there was no way to make it full the entire screen? Anyone have any idea if there is a tool to do so or are we at the mercy of the app manufacturers to release a fix/update for this?

Due to the aspect ratio I'd expect that would be a problem.

Has anyone tried the more demanding games? If so how do they compare to other devices?
I'm tempted as I really want to play Xcom on the move(If it's compatible) But I don't want to lose the games I currently play a lot of.
I play X-Com on the 8.4 S and it runs flawlessly. Also played Shadowrun: Returns with no issues.

Name off some games and I will try out the ones I can. I can tell you that GTA San Andreas runs perfect for me.
All my games are flawless as well
Thanks everyone, they are pretty much top of my wanted list. And some of the 2D stuff, but I'd be surprised if it couldn't handle kairosoft games (amongst others)
My current device can't play Xcom or any of the GTAs, so I'll be upgrading tomorrow.
xcom crashes

I installed xcom last night. Runs really well but crashes at certain places such as when you first add an extra generator (but only if you build two things at once) after the first one save then build what ever else it is you want. Also crashes when you first promote someone if you click promote to fast. Just have to find the bugs and avoid them

Majority have been fine but I've run into some slightly weird issues with afew simple/free to play games - Seems like some of them are misdetecting the graphics chipset or something to do with the screen. I know the family guy game wouldnt run initally (null frame error - i think its been fixed now) and the simpsons game seemed to be using the wrong display mode/dpi when i tried it - all the textures seemed blockier than they should be.

I have the WiFi only 8.4 S and I'm having a really hard time trying to play. Sometimes it runs for 30 mins, other times it crashes to home screen immediately upon loading my save file.
I have stock TouchWiz kitkat and I've not rooted yet. Are you rooted, and if so what kernel/rom do you use? I suspect the bloat is messing w my processing power.
Thanks in advance.

I also have issues with XCOM, crashes sometimes at the intro cut-scenes and when i can get into the game i get about 2 minutes play at a time. Logged a call with the developer several days ago and they have been terrible. Tab S 10.5

At the time I was not rooted and I was using Nova Launcher. I say in past tense as I returned my Tab S 8.4 for the Nvidia Shield Tablet.
Thanks in advance.

I never had it crash or cut out. I do use Clean Master to launch my games with to make sure I get as many resources as possible for the game I am playing. That and Nova Launcher to remove the UI resource hogs.
Overall the Tab S is a great device and I had no issues with it. Unfortunately the Nvidia Shield Tablet was launched within my return policy and I swapped over.
Hi All
I just re-found a compatibility list by androidtv.news (thanks guys)
great work, please contribute your findings, and be careful when you edit (there seems to be a few rows with no name, unfortunately by an edit)
I'll ask the mods to sticky it..

Also minecraft pocket edition now works if you install it from the browser

check out my new Android game https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pgviews.kobesadventure
Add it to the list if you haven't already
Did anyone notice that the sideloaded apps started updating in the play store? Minecraft has been updading itself twice, even though its not available for download.

as long as the sideloaded apps have the original signature untouched, they have always updated.
Edit: Nevermind. The problem was me. User error.
I tried to install Amazon Video but received errors. Anyone else have the same experience? Thanks.
for some reason realMyst only works on my 2015 not my 2017
I like OpenArena, but it is essentially single player only. No multiplayer servers are around.
Anyone want to compile this for Android?

Local split-screen multiplayer.
Anyone have an updated link to the compatibility list? Link in the OP no longer works.
Netflix TV Os
Hi,
I'm struggling on the internet for information I'm after and you might be able to help! I want to get a media player with the official Android TV OS (the same one as the Shield - not the other normal media boxes). Simply put - in SA we have unstable internet connections. For Netflix on Android TV OS, does it allow for offline downloading? People have suggested popcorn time but I want to support creators and anyway, Netflix is good enough. So, can anyone tell me whether the Netflix App for the official Android TV OS supports offline mode (ie downloaded episodes like you have in normal Netflix on Android).
Thanks Tom

I used to be able to use an animated image from the phones lenticular photo mode for a lock screen. Now if I try it just says preparing to share and then makes a really cruddy blurry picture that isn't even animated out of the moving picture instead. I am on 4.6.6 and have the amazon photos app icon. I tried on two other phones in the family and we all have this issue. Anyone else having this problem and has anyone found a solution yet?
maybe due to the most recent updates, for example i can no longer use the built in video app to stream from online, it just doesn't work since they updated the photo apps

I understand fire phone is not their priority but it seems a bit odd to kill lenticular functionality and leave it since that is basically the best thing the phone has going for it. Disappointing.
you can go to "applications & parental controls \ manage applications\ Filter by downloaded
click at photo and uninstall update.
you will can use 3d dynamic lock screen by lenticular photo again.
Hey all
I have a problem with Netflix on my S9. Around 3 weeks now, when I watch a movie or series on Netflix, when there is a dark/black background the screen becomes grainy, therefore losing lots of detail from the movie. It also "destroys" some of the detail even on faces where there are dark scenes, and makes it really uncomfortable. Sadly I cannot provide any screenshot to show it since Netflix app doesnt allow it. I believe that happened because of a software update (I am using stock software), because before the update it was working perfectly. Has anyone experience anything similar on S9/s9+?

Have you looked at the "video enhancer" setting under Advanced Features? If it's off, try turning it on or off if it's already on.
Did that, no result
I was able to view content again that was not too dark to watch by uninstalling latest Netflix app and then installing v4.12.2 from apkmirror. I’m on S9 Pie.

Hello,
For an art project I need to use a Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2 as a display screen.
The watch should display a video or a gif in a loop and never pause/quit and never go to sleep.
Is there a way to create an app to do this? Or would there be a simplier way to achieve that? I was thinking about using the retail/demo mode that already displays videos in a loop but i don’t really know how to do this and use a video of my choice.
Thanks a lot and have a nice day,
Rémi
