How to run Samsung Galaxy Tab apps full screen

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.
