How do i get full screen in windows phone 8?

My game wont fill the entire space of the phone. I have the resolution set at 768x1200 but there are still black bars around the app. Also the top status bar stays there and wont go away. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Are you sure that you have "Hide address bar" set to "Yes":

Unfortunately it's still the same. I've tried every option possible under the 'fullscreen in browser' menu as well. Still no luck. Any other suggestions?

and is 768x1200 the phone resolution? Shouldn't it be 1280x768?

I've been using this as a guideline.

msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/jj206974(v=vs.105).aspx

I', testing it on a Nokia Lumia 920, which has a resolution of 768x1200.

The lumia 920, 928 and 925 are all 1280x768, if you go with 1200 you are going to get black lines as that is not the proper screen size.

Oh sorry, I mistyped. My resolution is definitely set at 1280x768.

Did you edit the visual studio project? there is a line that you can add width=blah and it fixed my scaling issue.

I cannot remember the file or line, I can check when I get home.

Oh thanks! I got the app to use the full screen of the phone now. My only problem is that I can't seem to get rid of the white bar on the top where the signal strength and network status is shown. I don't even know what that's called actually. If I knew I may be able to figure out how to get rid of it. :)

Thanks for all the suggestions so far. I've almost got this problem fixed!

I figured it out! Hopefully this will help anyone with the same problem.

In Visual Studio 12 I searched for "SystemTray" and found this:

    shell:SystemTray.IsVisible="True">

A simple change to

    shell:SystemTray.IsVisible="False">

fixed everything.

Thanks for the help guys!

Thanks... nice to get rid of the status bar.

I still don't know how to use the exporter.

Cocoonjs or Android scales perfectly to different resolutions.

Do you need to compile an app for each possible resolution with WP8?
