I'm swiping as vertically as I can. It shouldn't go sideways if I'm just off by a few degrees. Does it happen to other people?

With my new Moto, on a site like Google News, the site allows you to scroll either vertically or sideways. Sometimes when I'm scrolling vertically, it suddenly thinks I'm scrolling sideways, which I don't want. Have you had this problem? Try it on that site. It also sometimes happens in the...

Maybe it's only on Android 5.1 - or only on this phone, a Moto E?

I downloaded an app called Clear All Notifications. It works really well.

From reading users' comments, Android is set up to warn you about data usage, even if you have unlimited data. You have to go to Data Usage and change the parameters so it will stop warning you. Hence, when you first get the phone and have unlimited, it is set up by default to warn you about...

Marcin, I tried that and rebooted. The icon is still there. If it worked for you - did the icon go away right away?

I just started seeing a Data Usage Notification (an exclamation point in a triangle). If I slide on it, it goes to Settings > Data Usage. I've used about 2/3 my alotted data (which is 3G per billing period). From reading about it, the only way to get rid of the icon is to slide the top line...

My phone is set up to display the clock and notifications during Sleep Mode by tilting the phone, and it will just display that and won't go back into awake mode. I usually do this by holding the phone vertically. However, it's inconsistent. When you do this, is tilting vertically the only...

My settings don't have that at all. It's a Moto E. I don't actually want to change those, though it would be nice to have a Search button. I doubt there's a way to add a menu button again.

Just bought a new phone and there are three builtin buttons: Back, Home and Recent (a square). Do you use Recent very often? I rarely do. Do all current Android phones have the same three builtin buttons? My previous phone was from 2012 and it had Back, Home, Menu and Search. Menu was good and...

I didn't have exactly that problem, but I just tried to install an app called Large Call Screen and it did not work at all. I did this because I don't like the caller ID screen in general. I'm sorry I can't exactly address your problem.

Just to clarify: if Gesture and "double space for periods" are both ON, then tapping the period should always make a period appear, is that right?

I gave up on my problem and bought a new phone. The old one was 4 years old anyway. You know what's bizarre? The problem seemed to be only near my home, yet only with the browser and not the other apps. Now I'll never know why.

If you look at what happened to me, I think it's silly that these are the defaults. I know I was hitting the period key since something appeared each time I hit it, as with all keys. In the Gmail app I had to press Period three times for one Period to appear. Why did that happen?? It's not...

I just got a new phone and had trouble entering a period while typing. Sometimes I had to tap the period key 2-3 times for a period to appear. Autocorrect was always off. I went to Google Keyboard settings and turned off "Double space for period" and also "Gesture Typing." Seems to be okay...
