Need Help with Kindle - Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

I just installed a fresh copy of Cyonigen (forgive the bad spelling), and I have a quick question. While viewing websites or reading documents, as I swipe up and down, the screen moves from left to right. This causes me to always have to re-center my content. My question is, is there a way to stop android from moving left to right while reading? Or can someone suggest an app that has that capability? Not a big deal but it is kind of a annoying.
Thanks to all who reply,
Mike

Should be somewhere in the launcher settings. Prolly under gestures.

Ezpdf reader v 1.0.16 can't bookmark

I'm using this app to read a book but it doesnnt save progress and I can't use the bookmark function. I see the button at the button that I believe to be the book mark key, but nothing happens when I press it.
Its as if that part of the menu isn't there because tapping affeects the page like normal.
Can anyone enlighten me here because this is easily the best PDF app if bookmarking will work.

Mine does the same thing, also the button to the right of it with an arrow on the document doesn't do anything on mine. I know I am pushing them correctly because the table of contents button to the left of the bookmark one works just fine. I just got EZpdf reader a couple of days ago so I don't know much about it either.
Its gotta just be the nooks screen vs what the apps used to.. I guess...
But on a positive note, how sweet is the page turning effect if you drag slowly from the bottom corner...
ill answer for you, its really sweet.

Oh.... interestingly enough, today when I opened my book from the recent docs tab, it loaded right to the chapter I stopped at..? I confirmed this by killing all apps and then starting ezpdf again and sure enough I got the same result.

Can someone please tell me how to highlight or underline text so I can come back to it easily later?
In my experience, you have to save the document in the internal memory (download folder, for instance). when close it wipe left to right ove the left side of the screen to see the options side panel amd close the document clicking on the X. Doing this, the document should open where you left it off. Bookmarks might work then, but my problem, when i sync the document in the cloud and open it in another device the bookmarks have dissapered. real annoying after spending time bookmarking all the important pages.
Hope this is useful guys

Now reading.

Now that we had a working now reading button (the one in the notification bar), is it possible to rerout the button to my reading app (My main is now aldiko)? After the 1.1 update, the typical android polyp comes to choose default, but it just lets me choose between the stock reader and psx4droid. Aldiko does not pop up.
As usual, sorry if this is the wrong forum.

Full screen while watching movies

Hi
Is there a way to get FULL SCREEN while watching movies. Whenever i launch movies on my tab - I still have the bottom line with TouchWiz and clock and more.. I haven't found a tweak that will let me hide that.. Would be awsome that it hides after few seconds while watching something fullscreen ?
Any fix for that? - I looked in the forum for similar questions on this issue, but didn't see it - Thats why i post it .. Sorry if it is a duplicate of another question somewhere here in the forum.. ;-)
Just wondering.. Am i the only one having this issue?

Therr are a couple of posts.
Basically, since there are no hardware buttons, android forces the taskbar to always be shown to allow access to the buttons. There are no hacks for this yet as it will also require the media player to take no taskbar into account and offer a way out of the app.
Okay.. Well i was hoping there was somekind of autohide when fullscreen, and menu could be tricked by a touch.. Hopefully we will see that..

could be tricky to dev this, what you would probably need to do is have an app you run before opening a movie that hides the bar but also places a toggle to show it again on the power button. However if you remapped the power button and the tab froze you could be stuck. Probably best just to live with it
Yeah.. I saw a feature like that on the Ipad, so if it works on Ipad, it should for sure work on Android aswell..

What he said and unfortunately we will not see an auto hide anytime soon.

[Q] SG2 Browser scrolling "scroll lock"

When scrolling through a website on the browser I have noticed that if you start scrolling strictly vertically or horizontally the browser "sticks" in this direction for while, and then lets go. The scrolling is not completely fluid. I find this EXTREMELY annoying especially when trying to scroll in a diagonal direction.
Is there any way to remove this vertical & horizontal "scroll lock"
i noticed this too on a few occasions. at first it got me worried that there was a zone in the screen not registering touch input (i had this issue on my atrix which is why i ditched it).
but i haven't really had any problems anywhere else...
i heard there was an app out that fixes some sensitivity issues for the sgs2. try 'touchscreen booster' from the market and play with the settings a bit. let me know if that fixes your problem
I have the touch screen sensitivity app already ( which is included in a lot of kernels). i noticed the scrolling improvement thought the phone but still have the same issue with the browser. im suprissed that this isnt a hot topic. i hope some one can figure it out eventually.

It isnt a hot topic because its not an issue everyone is getting....so far only two of you are reporting it
It doesnt happen to my stock browser, or my friends
It might help if we knew what firmware you are running
Plus, this has nothing to do with development - this should be in Q&A

I think this is a "feature" to make it easy to scrool up/down and left/right(So you don't have to adjust if you read a long page).

+1. This is a "feature" lol. And I like it. It would be hard to read long pages without it.
lol'd
I'd resurrect this topic, because this problem is driving me nuts.
I LOVED scroll lock, and now after ICS update there are only problems. The only browser that I found to offer working scroll lock is Firefox, but it has some disadvantages. Opera Mobile has partially good scrolling, but double-tap-to-zoom fails if you disable text wrapping.
Now I use Firefox + Tasker to kill it when it's in background. I got used to scroll lock so much with stock SGS2 browser and exPDF that I can't comfortably read stuff without it. Today I also tried Boat Browser, Dolhpin, Maxthon, Skyfire, and they all failed. Can't they make browser that would behave just like exPDF? There are tons of features, but I think that web browser is actually for reading stuff.

[Q] no more room on this home screen

I've searched but not seen this topic covered - there is a lot of information flowing so I apologize if I missed this topic.
I'm installing apps from Google Play (from my PC) and they are automatically populating on the home screen and any other screen that has open real estate. Is there a setting that I've overlooked that will stop this from happening?
Uncheck auto-add widgets from play store settings. Fixed.

Thanks! That's the ticket! Didn't even think about looking there. So much going on with this thing and its awesomeness.
