I was wondering if any if you guys tried setting up the Nexus 7 for a secondary monitor?
I was looking at iDisplay, Screen Slider, but was open to any other alternatives.
Do face that many apps goes beyong tv screen size, faceing the control tabs are shown not in full range.
In xbmc can change it manully, but maybe this can be somehow changed/configured?
Or each app developer have to add this functionaly to his app?
The example are in attachment
It has to do with your TV not the nexus player. Lookin your settings for a screen size, yours is probably set on 16:9. Find the option where it says screen fit or something
Thanks a lot, you are genius!

I am having this same issue with my NP. I think it's called overscanning. I have found the button to change the screen size on my TV remote, but when I am in an hdmi input on my TV it only gives me 2 screen size settings. Wide, and zoom, which both do not fit to the screen. If I change the input to anything, like TV, I have about 5 different options then. Anybody know of a way to fix this?
I had a same issue with my panasonic TV...just try to look into menu-picture-advanced and disable 16:9 overscan
Just looked at the manual for my TV. Looks like if I have any HD input the only options the TV will give me are normal (which is wide), or zoom which is much worse. Normal cuts off probably about an inch on the sides. Navigating through some apps is almost impossible, like es Explorer.
It looks like I am at a loss. Because of the TV. I am using using a 50 inch Vizio p50 plasma TV.

I'm also at a loss. My Samsung Plasma doesn't have the screen fit or just fit setting (apparently they added it to the 2007 model). Wonder how Kodi does it and if it could be made into an app or something. I might look into seeing if I can modify the build.prop. Found this thread: http://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=720
Here, try the method using Nova Launcher in this post:

Here's something I stumbled on that I haven't seen mentioned... Found it very helpful.....
Problem: On my Samsung HDTV set, I found that many apps (particularly Chrome) were getting key parts of their screens cut off by overscan. But I couldn't find a way to set the overscan on my HDTV or in the Nexus Player.
Solution: While I was playing around with Nova Launcher on the Nexus Player, I found a way to launch something called "Overscan Calibrator" which fixed the issue!
Here's how I did it:
(1) Install Sideload Launcher (so you can launch Nova Launcher)
(2) Sideload Nova Launcher
(3) Use Sideload Launcher to launch Nova Launcher
(4) In Nova Launcher, long click on the screen to bring up the "Add to Homescreen" menu
(5) Shortcuts -> Activities
(6) Scroll down to find "Overscan Calibrator"
(7) Click on it to open the selection and click on the revealed item to add it to the home screen
(8) Now launch "Overscan Calibrator" and adjust the screen so that then entire screen is visible
Then... your entire Chrome screen will be visible !

Its the samsung pay app panel, activate samsung pay and add a credit card on it, it will show (and can be disabled in samsung pay settings)

1. Activate smart capture in settings>advanced features.

Hello dears . I bough this watch 5 months ago and in the catalog and on the official web site they claims that the watch have an air gesture wake up feature . I tried to search my watch for that option but i didn't find any thing related . Can any watch owner help here
Usually the settings for the palm brightness is in the launcher settings. So drag the screen down for the top and swipe right. You should see all the wifi / bt settings etc and in these settings there will be a icon for hand bright screen on and off. Toggle this on and see if it works. Failing that, you could download the Universal Launcher from the Playstore and do the same with that.
You could also download a sensor app, that will display your sensor information in real time - just to check that your accelerometer is working correctly. I think the app is called Sensoroid.
Thanks alot
