This behaviour continued even after I removed the SD card. There are no apparent setting for proximity sensors nor are there ...

ezPDF reader: settings to correct jerky page scrolling?
On the ezPDF Reader, is there a way to make the scrolling from one page to another smoother and less jerky? Some settings, perhaps? The jerky/jumping scrolling on ezPDF reader when one page scrolls to the next page breaks the flow of reading a little. Thanks for any insights.

Lock Screen Pattern Too Small After Android 4.3 Update on Samsung Galaxy S3
A few days ago, my Samsung Galaxy S3 finally got the OTA update to Android 4.3 from Verizon. Before the update, when I was running Android 4.1.2, the pattern on my lock screen looked like the 1st image below. Not only was the pattern larger, but it also had a visible "shadow", providing an easy way to see how big each ...

Android boot-up messages for debugging?

How to measure the charge left in a dying battery?
This question is not relative to a specific phone model, even though I will cite my P1000. My P1000 is 3 years old, and it is often suddenly turning off (no shutdown sequence, just goes dead) out of the blue while the battery marker is at the 31ish percentile. If I try and turn it on right away, it goes dead again duri...
