Fix for Bell Atrix not displaying apps in full screen? - Atrix 4G General

I'm sure this has been covered but I did a search and didn't find anything
after a recent update my Atrix stopped displaying some apps in full screen. They just appear as a window(presumably running in their native res)
Bell says it's a motorola problem
Motorola says they know about the issue but wouldn't tell me anything further than that
anyone know if there's a fix yet?

Download "spare parts" from the market (free). Then uncheck Compatibility Mode.

You are my new favorite person
this bug was pissing me off the the point that I was going to sell my Atrix and buy an SGSII
I still might do that but now I'll wait until I can get an SGSII cheap

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!!. This problem has been driving me crazy since the new update from Bell came out. I can finally play gameloft games in fullscreen again. Woot!

Im going to assume your all canadian.
So how can I download gameloft games... which ones work? Order & Chaos?

What about the app that changes where your markets from? ._.
How hard hard is it for me to download a cracked version? But seriously I want to pay for that little app. I appreciate if someone can guide me on how to buy that app?
Suppose even if I get through someone? How will I receive future updates? Obviously that isn't showing up in my region?

But good point. Google 'Market Enabler' download amd install it then you should have no issues.
Or, as I said, email the developer that you cant buy it via the market and he'll put robably semd you apks after you pay him via paypal.

new market

According to android life a new market started rolling out tonight...sweet..
http://www.droid-life.com/2010/12/10/android-market-receiving-major-ui-overhaul/
Towards bottom on the article it states this:
To try to force the update on to your phone, try this:
Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>All>Market and clear data on it.

Will that effect previous "paid for" applications as far as updates or anything adverse like?
I do it all the time and I've never lost anything besides my search history which is why I do it anyway

Thanks Lee, will do directly to see if the new update happens.
Edit:
Clearing data throws this which is a little scary to me:
Delete
All of this application's data will
be deleted permanently. This
includes all files, settings,
accounts, databases, and so on.
OK - Cancel
Should it not be "Clear cache" instead
I do not get that message at all... AI actually just did it to mine

No clue, moot point as of now. Went to do a screenshot and "double tapped" the screenshot OK and hit the OK on the delete also so it deleted all history and stuffs. When I press Downloads on Market I see all the apps I've got installed and paid for so it's all good.
Here's a pic of what I see when I follow the directions:

Zephaniah pointed out what they said the reason was
Reason for the refund window being shortened according to Google: Devs requested it. "...we will reduce the refund window on Market to 15 minutes. This change will be largely transparent to buyers, but will help developers manage their businesses more effectively."
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you're like me, when you buy an app it costs like 2 bucks at most and I know within the first 5 minutes whether I wanna keep it or not. Even if I don't particularly like an app I've let it run over the refund time to help support the DEV.
What's a buck or two gunna hurt? Most I've spent on an app was like 11 pound I think and I use it every day for work almost, would have paid 10 times that.
Anyone gotten it yet? Are we sure it comes tonight?
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
The 15 minute time limit is more likely for future games. You can play a great game and beat it in a few hours. I hope they pretty it up a little.

Yes, I'm curious too. Did it appear as a system update (like the 3.0.1 rollout) ?
Its a market update not part of the system and not supported by OTA.
OTAS are for os and firmware updates only. Not for optional buggy programs

i don't see it in the market yet. What are you all searching for that you're finding it?
Flash does neither appear in the MyApps on my Xoom nor in the Market itself. Where would I then see the option to update? FYI - I used the Flash.apk that was published here in another thread....

Why then is it not in the market. Unless you're full of it, given your track record...
I am waiting to see if the leaked copy allows for auto update on market. I downloaded Dish Remote (Slingbox Player for DishDVR), which is free and originally available on my Droid X, but it did not allow it on the Xoom. It has now since migrated to be available in marketplace for Xoom.
I got the original apk from another site a few days ago, from the initial release not available for the Xoom. Yesterday my apk I download and installed out of market with no listing in the "my apps" popped up in "myapps" area to update it to the latest version. Updated like I had downloaded the original from the market.
It appeared it populated in the myapps area once the unapproved version for Xoom moved over to the available side of the tablet market.

Groupon app not available for Atrix?

I went to Android Market on my PC to find and download the official Groupon app to my Atrix. It's there, but when I select to install, on the list of phones my old Nexus One (listed as "Nexus One on AT&T") shows up as installable, but my current Atrix 4G is grayed out and won't install. I went to the Market on my Atrix, and the official Groupon app doesn't even show up there. Does anyone know if there is a reason why an app like Groupon would not be available for the Atrix? Thanks.

Dowload "filter your screen" from the market and when installed apply a greenish tint.
You may have to mess around with the color.
