If you have this problem too, I recommend you use the following software, as it can solve this issue. And is called "Spare Part", try to search it in the Google Play market. The link is here <-----
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androidapps.spare_parts&hl=en
After you installed it, this application will force all apps to use full screen on your tablet. But to get the app to work you require to do a few steps, this is just a one time configuration. The app take several reboots to be properly configured, but that’s a one time ordeal. JKK Mobile, advises these steps:
- Download Spare Parts from Android Market and go through the instlalation process, which should begin automatically after the app has been downloaded.
- Launch the app by opening it. Scroll to “Compability Mode.” JKK Mobile advises to tap on the check box, and then untap it again.
- Then reboot the Galaxy tab.
- Go back into Spare Parts after reboot and go to “Comptability Mode” again and tap it again and then reboot.
- After reboot, your apps should be in full screen.
Hope you find this usefull,
Cheers,
Wilson
