Default Resolution too high for some apps

Some applications look misaligned due to the higher resolution on our phones. Two of the applications I use that have this issue that I have noticed so far:
Heytell is an app that does this on our phones.
Application Protection seems to only use half of the screen where on my other phones it would take up the entire screen when asking for passcode.

This is a known issue. The only thing you can do is contact the dev of your apps and let them know.

L1: Samsung Galaxy SIII CM10
L2: Incredible 2 CM7
L3: Rezound Unlocked / MIUI
L4: Galaxy Nexus CM10

The Spare Parts Plus! app has a feature "Enable/Disable compatibility mode to allow Apps to work at full screen size on Galaxy Tab and other large screen devices" but I don't have my Rezound yet to test it.

I thought Honeycomb had the ability to do that on it's own in every app without 3rd party support. My Xoom did it without 3rd party.

I believe he is referring to the original Galaxy Tab that ran Froyo (Or gingerbread, I can't remember xD).

I'll try this out though, I believe it should work fine this way. It's just a scaling issue with background elements.

Ahh, ok. Report back! I don't have any issues with my apps, and don't intend to download any that require it just because, lol.

I notice sometimes when I'm playing videos in Dice Player, they start playing in this tiny view(thumbnail like) in the of the screen. I'll have to use my fingers to pull it out to fill the screen.
