If you have a netflix account, you can use the netflix app. Or if you are an xfinity user, you can download the xfinity tv app, sign in with your details and youre good. Now if you want to watch movies added on your phone, you can download the VLC app. But if the movie format is not supported like the mkv format, you might need to convert them.

Hello Alexis, in the bottom left hand corner is a cog icon that will take you to the settings menu. From here select system and you should see display mode at the top. Change this option to full screen.
If this does not fix the problem select the option to use a windowed full screen option just below.
Hope this works for you.
Regards Geoff

Set Display timeout from 5 sec. to 30 sec.

Cell phones are drained by running background apps, LCD brightness etc. Here are a few tips to help you. Most importantly, batteries do loose their strength (even when fully charged).

Check your display settings. Settings, Phone, Display: Check that Light Timeout is set (I have mine setup for 20 seconds). This should do the trick. If you wish to conserve yet more battery power, set "sleep mode" to on and set a power saver timeout (mine is set to 1 minute). good luck.
