"Display Size" stopped working

There is a display setting for "Display Size" with a slider. It's not labeled, but there are 3 settings, small, medium, and large. It changes the size of the icons and icon text. I've had it set at large for a long time, but a few days ago the icons and icon text got smaller. The slider is still all the way to the right, but the size displayed is "medium". I've moved the slider back and forth, and reset the phone, but I still can't get the larger size to display now. The "large" setting shows the same size as "medium". "Small" does make them smaller, though.

Any ideas?

Are you rooted? If so you may have installed something that set the DPI in default.prop. If the DPI is anything other than the default value, the slider doesn't work.

No, not rooted. I did enable developer mode recently, but I'm not sure if that was before or after the problem started. Turning off developer mode didn't help.

What model V20 do you have? Some models have the ability to do finer DPI adjustments in developer mode, so just enabling it may have done it. You need to re-enable it, and scroll through to look for something about scaling.

It's LG-H910. AT&T. I looked through the Developer settings and didn't see anything related to dpi, but thanks for the suggestion.
