Too big screen for Android Spotify?

user-removed — Sat, 11 Aug 2012 10:19:33 GMT

Hey,

I'm new to this Android new app for Spotify. I have Android 2.3.6 and Motorola RAZR MAXX with 4.3 screen. However in every picture on internet I see Spotify like this - very sweet.

Picture from Google.

However I see in my phone after Settings white area to the bottom. What's this? I try to take picture today. However can you please explain me why I not see the whole area in black? Motorola is released 4.0 Android and hopefully I receive it soon. I think that maybe I see app like in picture when I update to 4.0?

Anyone with this problem? Tried already re-installing and no help.

I have a galaxy s2 and I don't think I get it. I'll tell you on the 4th September though 🙂

The first picture is because you don't have enough 'lists to go down that far.

The other one - hmmm.

Why I need more playlists? It should go to bottom with background color?

If you had root you could try some DPI changer apps to see if that makes a difference?

Root it, change density, erase data using recovery, see if that works.

I do not want to root just to make a Spotify work, sorry. 😞

Anyone with this problem, how solved?

Oh well - I don't think it can be solved (it could be an app bug :()

Anyone use this app on 4.3 or bigger screen? And this problem?

Edit: Good idea. All pictures in Google seems to be with Preview app. So I go and download it and test if that works better. Then I see if problem in new version or not...

Same problem. I think it related to OS. I do not received a 4.0 Android, but it's coming. So need to wait. 🙂

I think Spotify is designed to 4.0 Android and this is reason why this does not look so good at 2.3.6 Android.

My S2 has a 4.5x (dunno what the x is), and I don't notice this.

I think it's either your phone, or your density.

I'm using the Spotify Android app on a HTC One X with a 4.7" screen, but I'm not having the problem that your pictures show.

Hey SteveBrammer!

Do you have 4.0 or 2.3.6 Android?

Where you think my problem is?

Re: Too big screen for Android Spotify?

SteveBrammer — Sat, 11 Aug 2012 17:02:31 GMT

I'm running Android 4.0.3 (stock, not rooted).

Sorry, don't know what the problem is. I recommend doing some searching with google to see if anyone else has seen the same problem on a RAZR with Spotify or any other applications.

Re: Too big screen for Android Spotify?

Liam — Sat, 11 Aug 2012 18:09:06 GMT

I'm running 4.1.1 (CM10, Rooted). It could be a gingerbread issue then - but, yeah. Check google 🙂

Thank you all. I think too, so I wait Motorola's update. The same "problem" in Google's settings when just some things in page, rest of page is this Gingerbread "background" instead of white. I heared, some are received in Finland 4.0 to RAZR MAXX, so I think I receive too soon. 🙂

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note with 5.3" screen and Android 4.0.4. Never had any problems. I didn't have any problems with it in 2.3.6 .

Think it doesn't sweem to understand the whole screen size. Searched any tools from the market to see if they can stretch it?

Other apps show in full screen?

Re: Too big screen for Android Spotify?

Yes. At least speedtest.net app show in full screen and YouTube etc.

Similar here - One X with 4.8 screen and nexus 7 with 7.0 screen and no issue.

Does the issue actually stop you from being able to use the app?

Re: Too big screen for Android Spotify?

No, but I would like to use Spotify like it is advertised - in sweet look. 🙂

The phone is new, so I do not think there is a need to hard reset it.
