    Tab 7 screen takes a while to warm up

    Scale PDF to screen noob question

    Please forgive me if this question has been asked and answered somewhere else, frankly I'm not even sure how to search for the issue. I want to be able to read PDFs on my phone but without using a magnifying glass. They don't scale to the resolution (their point, I know) but it's annoying to...

    Tab 7 screen takes a while to warm up

    Hi, I have a Samsung Tab A7. About a year ago the left hand quarter of the screen stopped working when you wake the device. After a while, it warmed up but it would differ according to what you were watching, more colorful or faster changing images like video would make the screen warm up...

    Samsung Tab 3 won't switch on..?!

    Hi. I had a similar problem and it was solved by using the original mains charger. The USB ports on my PC and the Amazon Kindle plug obviously didn't have the juice.

    HTC Apps on S5?

    Hi. I'm a noob at Android stuff, but have been using a Desire HD for 3 years and have come to love the standard apps. Also, having now moved to an S5 I think the Agenda, Clock and Timer apps have no equal. My (perhaps naive) question is; can you port HTC apps to a Samsung Galaxy S5? Any help...
