Hi,
Has anyone noticed that root breaks the automatic popup of the gallery app when putting the tablet into the cradle?

I still get the option of clock or gallery and both work fine.

Yep - sorry - sorted it. Had to clear the Gallery cache and re-do the Cradle Settings under Applications. It was no longer firing, but looks fine again now.
Cheers.

Mine is rooted and it works just fine

Glad it's sorted. Checked my gallery just to be sure - seems ok.

No calendar since ginger blur.

ok that its not true, I have the calendar installed but cannot access it. I can tap and open the actual icon, but cannot use the widget. And it also does not sync worth my google calendar. It syncs about 20% of all appointments. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a fix?
I have rebooted several times, tried manually syncing, and even re-installed ginger blur.

It's been a known bug since the 1st GingerBlur. Please read everything before you flash your phone with anything.

It's just the default calendar app that is broken or the whole calendar is a crap? I mean, if we install another calendar app, will it work?
I am using a different calendar app, (there are many on the Market so I won't advise on one), with no issues. Can sync my work appointments/meetings from Exchange through Google to my phone, and it works fine.
I have downloaded several apps and all have the same problem. I can view my calendar perfectly fine on google calendar, but even after syncing only gives me a small amount on all calendars I have tried.
I use pure calender widget, It will notify me about events but the widget itself wont display upcoming events.
Does anyone have one that properly displays evenets?
I use simple calender widget. It works and syncs flawlessly.

Apps / Games Not Full Screen

Just a reminder for anyone having an issue with games / applications not being full screen. I have heard this can cause an issue with older software but have yet to run into an issue. Download spare parts from the market (free) and run the app. Scroll down to the bottom and uncheck compatibility mode. Reboot the phone and your applications should now be full screen.

XiiaLive Lite was the only app that was giving me that issue and your suggestion worked. Thanks!!!
Hmm I downloaded spare parts and the app just Fcs over and over..
I'm trying to hold off on doing the OTAs but I may not have a choice .
the reason why some of the apps dont fill up the screen is because the 3D's screen resolution higher than normal
Yeah I needed it for the sirius app, surprised side since this isn't the first qhd display

I have not taken any of the OTAs so that should not be related. Maybe try menu>settings>applications>manage applications> select spare parts and force stop and clear data. Also check to make sure its installed to the phone not SD card.

I was using magic gem on my hero, looked great, now it is too small on the screen with my 3vo and after installing spare parts and unchecking compatibility mode and rebooting, it is even smaller. No biggy, I am sure they will have one out for the 3vo soon with the right resolution.
worked for me
Settlers HD did not take up the whole screen on my EVO 3D, spare parts and now it looks perfect, thanks

Reboot for many time already
Any suggestion ?
reboot is not the answer!
my phones is only 2 days old and i would seriously hope that rebooting it after only 2 days is the answer to fix my problem.

Yes, I think so.
I just wanna know, Is anyone found this issue like me? Is this software problem? To make sure that my device is fine.
Go into settings, applications, manage applications and find the gallery under all tab and click clear data and clear cache.

My tablet also did that when I first got it. To fix the problem, I uninstalled then reinstalled Crackle.

I thought it was just me.... This is very annoying. I don't see any settings in Crackle to cause this... nothing in the Xperia settings... and I disabled all the "Smart Connect" setup... I did try deinstalling and reinstalling Crackle - no use. Drop the tablet in the charger, Crackle pops up !
Anyone have a real fix for this?
finally I when with an app call dock clock to be activated prefer to see the clock than crackle

Yes... Dock Clock (Night Clock). Thanks for the tip... I installed this and then did have an option to select Crackle or Dock Clock when I put the tablet in the cradle. And this is much better than Crackle... I had previously setup my Acer tablet so that it did something similar (Settings -> Display -> Daydream -> Clock).
How annoying! I had to use titanium and freeze it. Screen stays the same when docking now

Sony's now updated their "Smart Connect" app on the tablet so you can define what happens when you put the tablet in the charging dock.
My tablet originally asked me what I wanted to do when I inserted it into the dock, i.e. set up a SmartConnect rule. After defining that I didn't want any, it hasn't bothered me again.
I don't have Crackle preinstalled. Must be a regional thing.
Just delete all the events in the smart connect app, and recreate the events. Fixed!

FB Marketplace rotates screen

Since it was new, my TAB S3 rotates to portrait whenever I try to look at FB marketplace. I have tried everything I could find through searches. My wifes S3, bought at same time, stays in landscape mode. We both have screen auto rotate turned on. I even tried turning auto rotate off, it still rotates. Also, when it does this, the pics don,t fit properly on the screen. Help
I had this problem on the original Galaxy Note 10.1. I figured it was just because somehow Facebook was installing an older version. It was a Verizon SCH 925 or so it never got updated passed 4.1.2. I never had the problem on my 2014 edition which was running lollipop stock or Los 14. Have you updated it to Oreo yet? Have you tried stock recovery and formatted the cache partition? Not a factory reset just the cache partition. Tried clearing data and cache for the app itself? I wish I could help you more, but seeing as how it's not doing it on hers but is on yours it's most likely just a corrupt Facebook file that's forgotten how to handle the gyroscope.
Thanks for the reply. I put up with it thinking the update to Oreo would fix it. Just got the update a few days ago, no change in the problem. Have since done a complete uninstall of the FB app and reinstalled with no change.

Why not just install smart rotate from play. It'll solve all your problems.

Yes, and thanks for all the ideas.
Compare the miminum resolutions you each have under developer settings, it may at least stop the app from cutting off as apps hew to screen res

Thanks for the advice. The only setting that I could find relating to resolution was Minimum Width. Both were set at 768 dp.
I have exact same issue. Did you find a fix?

Netwolfstar I could fix the rotation issue with an external app, but the sides of the posts were still cut off. Did you have this problem too?
Did anyone fix this? I have the same issue.

The only thing I found to help was to rotate my tablet to portrait and open marketplace. Then everything displays properly, but ony in portrait.
I had the grey on market place. I uninstallerd facebook and installed facebook lite app instead...Problem solved. Then install smart rotation app to get facebook to rotate.... Happy days...
It's 2023 and still no fix.
