Your screen resolution is not wider enough for windows 8 feature "snap". Snap requires 1366x768 and above. You only have 1280x800. Try enabling downscaling. You can find some registry hacks to enable downscaling or if your drivers support this, try adding a custom resolution with a width higher than 1366

How do you get a custom resolution on the W500?
I need to know too, i would have chosen another tablet but W500 has good specs for testing windows 8 and all drivers work
Here's how

Here's a YouTube video how to enable Downscaling, which will allow you to use a more wider resolution and downscale it to your screen resolution:

That does not work
Think its because its intergrated in the c50 processor.....
Ya I have been trying to find a way and so far any driver/resolution sort of tweek or hack is coming up nul. There has to be some way to force it. Why Microsoft would fully lock everyone out of it is beyond me. :/
just wait until full release, someone will ether make an app or find out a hack to do it, it doesn't make sense to have it done on a RC because ms will patch it when windows 8 is fully released

HD Mini will be the first WM with HVGA screen.
Will applications, which are made for QVGA and WVGA compatible with HVGA?
I have thought of this problum
I find a idea which may solve the problum
QVGA is 240x320
hVGA is 320x480
VGA is 480x640
so we use the tool WVGAfix to change hVGA device to QVGA and run QVGA's program

Hmm, "soon" WM 7 will be out and all developers will jump on this since new software needs to be made......WM 7 is not backward compatible.......risk is that not much will be done for this phone .....
that's my thought too.
if every single app has to be rewritten: why should one develop for windows mobile? why not moving on to android and stuff?
this could get aweful.

Hmmm you made me thinking .....will have a check on adroid.....on the other hand if WM7 is a cracker (and microsoft makes finally good mobile software) we can wait for that. Numerous apps will come available via windows marketplace and XDA ofcourse.....
I have theese considerations too, and my good old Iolite soon needs to be replaced.
However I think WP7S and devices will need so time to mature.
Meanwhile I'll stick to WM 6.5.
Wish that the CPU was 768MHz instead of that old 600MHz.
But I still think that I will buy the HD mini. The HD2 i too big for me, and after watching alot of HD2 videos on youtube(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOV7PH3J0j0), I must say that it really dossent impress me that much.

Hello, I have just purchased HD mini. My previuos phone was Diamond 2. I found out that most of applications which run on Diamond 2 don't run on Mini properly because of different screen resolution. WVGAFix.cab mentioned above does nothing. When I launch it, it just states: Sorry, WVGAFIX3 can't run on your system! Is there anything to do about it? Can anybody help?
Thanks
Probably the only thing you can do is to email the developers of your applications and ask them if they intend supporting HVGA devices. On the optimistic side, HVGA is one of only two resolutions that will be supported under WP7, so if they're porting to WP7, they'll be doing the graphics work they need anyway. Just a question of whether they think there's money to be made from the last WM6.5 device.

The file is incompatible with HD mini.
I suppose I will never have the fone with everything so I will settle for a very good one.. ..two..[E71 Black (hackd 2 pieces) & HD mini]. I am disappointed in the small amount of apps I have found so far (especially disapointed with the Max Manilla incompatibility). For that & the like, the HD2 is worth its size but I would sacrifice the compass for the size reduction.
Is there a way around this screen resolution issue then??

@Betox;
I've installed TomTom 7.910 on my HD mini and it's runs without a problem.
Just search the internet for 'TomTom_7.910.9185 QVGA Black'. Obtaining the maps shouldn't be a big problem either...
Is anyone cooking the latest WM 6.5 ROMs for HVGA (or is screen resolution even an issue with ROMs)?
Is there a way to snap metro apps in RP. I am on 1280x800.
yah, when that multitasking bar comes, you need to drag on of those windows and that is how you are able to snap an app.
Anyone under 1366x768 can't use snap..... I use a 720 42 inch Tv for my computer and my res is 1360x768 and because of 6 pixies my computer can't walk and chrew gum at the same time.....

Hello. I have a net book with Intel atom inside with a small screen resolution. Windows 8 gives limitations to me because we need a certain minimum screen size for its apps to run. However my screen size is small so I can't run any apps. Also, I know that there is a hack to change screen resolution but that doesn't fit nicely on my screen and looks ugly. Is there a way to remove the screen resolution limitations?
Thank you
Install latest video drivers for Win 7 then search your registry for "Display1_DownScalingSupported" and change its value from 0 to 1
It 's listed more than once so make sure you change each listing.
I hope that helps!

I had installed Win8 on an Aspire one and yes, those scaling options suck because their ratios do not match the screen. I didn't investigate heavily because I also have a SS7S but Macs have a program that lets you use custom resolutions, does Windows have this? Then you could at least get the ratio correct.

Hi again,
i have problem, my hp pavilion dv5 have 1280x800 screen and i cannot split screen in windows 8 like on screenshot. I know i must have min.1366x768 screen but maybe there is option to unlock this option in lower resolution.
Possible I guess. By using the resolution hack, I think you may achieve split screen. It's using the netbook screen res method, you hack the registry to show more screen resolution options. Gives you more, but it looks cramped, blurry, with uneven pixel density. That's putting more pixels than the actual screen may support. Another method you can use is plugging an external display that supports 1366x768 and up. This will definitely allow you to have that split screen.

res registry hack doesn't work anymore. Haven't found a way to do this yet.
Okay, solved. If you have nVidia you can add other resolution via nVidia Control Panel. Now I can split on my 1280x800 screen with resolution 1366x856
ATI Radion HD?
Hi all
I have the same native resolution as the OP but my laptop has an ATI Radion HD graphics card.
Does anybody know how to add an additional resolution with this type of card?
Thanks and God bless
andrew-in-woking
Check ATI software, maybe there is option to add the "adjusted resolution".
I checked it in nVidia software and Intel also ( HD 3000 ), and i can add other resolution ( higher than native ).
Regards
I use an nVidia based Graphics Card and this is how I change my resolution, in case anyone wanted to try it out! And yes, snapping works perfectly after this but your monitor might not display it all very clearly.
I have a Dell monitor as you can see in the screenshot running on a native resolution of 1280x1024, just like the OP's! \

What I have observed from using Split Screen is that, each app has a minimum running width of 1024px wide, anything lower and it will look cropped and uneven. So even if somehow the people at XDA bypass that option and allow snapping at lower resolutions, it will still look bad.
It's not such a great feature either, you keep getting confused on what's running and hard to concentrate on one app when there are two taking up the screen. Multitasking was made for the desktop version and it should stay that way in my opinion
Surprised not to see this posted here. It's for the s7 but people on reddit have confirmed that it works on the s6. I would try it but you need to be running MM, seems it changes the dpi to 540, or around that can't remember the exact number. This is native so Ui and everything should scale properly compared to doing to in adb.

Why would you need to downscale the resolution of your OS? i dont see any logic in it, or do you mean Text Size and Icon Size?

Ah i see so you guys are talking about resizing the icons and text of the OS, if you guys wanted to lower resolution for gaming Samsung Galaxy S6 has a samsung app called Game Tuner which works like an nvidia or amd control panel which lets you configure color quality per game, screen brightness per game and most importantly resolution per game.

Ic, well i just tought you guys wanted it for the games, there are many times when you want to play high end gfx games on your android but the fps are killed by the overkill screen resolution, thats why android has some apps that reduces the DPI of the entire OS, but Game Tuner is much better than that, it only affects the game you want.
Anyways sorry for going off topic, just tried to help
This is simply superb trick. Working perfectly on 920F dual sim.

Correct me if im wrong but resolution is different than dpi right?
Suppose you have a 4k resolution and 620 dpi, you changed from 620 dpi to 540 dpi you still have 4k resolution, no? It's just that in 540 dpi you can view more content but still have the same resolution.
Feel free to correct me.
Simply put, DPI = scaling and has nothing to do with res.
This changed the dpi on my S6 to 560 after reboot. Then I issued 'adb wm density 540' which changed the dpi to 540 on the fly.
The easiest way to control ur dpi scalling here it is

How about the phone app and camera app, is it also condensed?
Indeed works perfectly fine on G920F. @Tricks25 yes, phone/camera are also condensed
Works with apps "more shortcuts" and G920I. 2 modes (standard/condensed) to select when launch the "DisplayScalingActivity" shortcut.
