    text on some websites cut off

    Occasionally I'll end up on a website where the right side of the text is cut off, and the screen won't resize and won't scroll right. The only way to view it is to turn it to landscape mode. The screen zooms in, just won't zoom out enough to see the text that's cut off. Anyone know why?

    Does chromecast work well enough to base my new tablet purchase on its support?

    Normally use my computer hooked up to tv via HDMI with a wireless keyboard and mouse, but the computer is getting sluggish, and the bluetooth is acting funny. Most of the time for light tasks (pretty much all i do,) i'm on my phone or nexus 7 anyway. I decided i'd be better off just upgrading my...

    Do you think the Tab S would be a good fit for me, based on my needs?

    That's the thing, i barely multitask, unless i'm at work. I'm computer savvy, but i'm not really a huge techie as far as needing computer power. All my gaming is done from my PS3, so that's not an issue. I really just read articles online, pay my utility / cable / phone bills, check my bank...

    Do you think the Tab S would be a good fit for me, based on my needs?

    My old hand me down Macbook pro is starting to malfunction, (bluetooth keyboard isn't working properly,) and its just getting old in general. I find myself using my nexus 7 and phone (HTC) more than the computer anyway, which i leave by my TV and have hooked up with an HDMI cable. I never...

    what's wrong with my phone?

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/hvlkap4nbzbawd1/IMG_0615.mp4?dl=0 That should work, not sure where it went first time around. Its not about having too many messages in the thread, cause its more than just the messages. There are times i'll hit the home button, and the little circular animation that...

    What is amazon cloud player and why is it showing up in my notification bar?

    I dont use amazon for anything other than ordering stuff online. I started noticing a little "a" with the sprocket next to it in my notification bar, but before i had a chance to see what it was it would disappear. I completely disabled amazon on my phone because i've been having performance...

    what's wrong with my phone?

    Thanks for your input, although i have gone down the cache clearing road before. Even did the system cache a few times. In addition, i dont use facebook, or any other social media apps, and my texts are set to autodelete after a certain amount, i think 500 per thread. (Not sure if that works as...

    what's wrong with my phone?

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/jfibe0wagc791wd/IMG_0615.mp4?dl=0 Anyone know what's up with my phone? It doesn't do this all the time, but it happens on occasion. I have lag problems with sending a text as well as when I'm typing, but this was the easiest one to capture on video. Let me know if the...

    Why are popups sending me to the Google Play store?

    popup sending me to Google play store Recently I started getting popups on my phone that send me straight to the Google play store, specifically to the zynga poker download page. I searched the issue, but all the results relate to people getting popups from the zynga app itself. To be clear, i...

    swype lagging and missing words

    My biggest issue with every other tracing style keyboard is the lack of a button that highlights your last typed word. With Swype, if you get the word wrong you just hit the Swype icon and reswype the word, it's much quicker usually than flipping through the other predictions.

    Controlling Android using PC keyboard

    I use mighty text, i love it. I text all day from work and it just looks like i'm on my computer doing regular work stuff. The only thing that's annoying is when you answer the texts, it doesn't clear the notifications on your phone, so sometimes by 3pm i'll have 80 new texts. But that's really...

    Finding trouble third party apps

    After posting, i went through my phone, and deleted every app i dont consider to be "essential." I kept things like my notepad app, td bank app, subway map app, and things of that sort. I definitely notice much improvement on my phone. I'm not sure if its operating at full potential though. Its...

    Finding trouble third party apps

    I have been having issues with my m8 lagging, but after reading online and not finding other people saying the same thing, I restarted my phone in safe mode to see how it runs, and it's like lightning. So that must mean it's a third party app that's installed that's causing my problems correct...
