Samsung Galaxy Tablet screen size

Recently got my son a Galaxy tablet (I hate, should have got another iPad). He plays TSTO on it and the town in zoomed in so much. You can't zoom out more. When you go to your neighbour screen, three do not fit across, the left and right towns are chopped off. Is there any way to fix this? I play on an iPod Touch and can see more of my town at once, that my son can on a full sized tablet.
  • Is the zoom and resolution issue on Samsung devices caused by Samsung's TouchWiz skin? Does this happen to other people on LG, HTC, or any other non Samsung Android devices?

    My preferred TSTO device is a Galaxy Tab S. When it was brand new there was a compatibility problem but ea quickly added the necessary code to make the game run smoothly. Which galaxy device did you buy?


    I have the Tab S2

    Sell it, return it or give it away. Get a widescreen tablet.

    I have the same problem to some extend on my Tab S, problem differs from update to update of the game.
    I havent found an tuner app that allows me to fix the screen problem yet.

    Maybe someone can point to an app speciffic by name.

    I often just restart the tablet and the game loads with higher resolution, until I launch the game on a different device.


    The app in question is simply called the Samsung Game Tuner. You easily Google the name. Unfortunately, it only works with a subset of Samsung devices such as Galaxy S6, S6 Edge, Note 5, and S6 Edge+.


    To get around the this app is not compatible with this device is easy. First go into settings and tap lock screen and security, turn on unknown sources. Then do a Google search for samsung game tuner Apk, find the most current version number and install it. After you have installed it i recommend turning off unknown sources in less your a techie.
