I am an algorithm developer using MATLAB in my day job.

After a long day of writing code, I like to come home and relax by...writing more code -- I've recently picked up writing Android apps as a hobby. After 30 years of constantly expanding computing power, it's fascinating to return to a restrictive environment where you not only need to be concerned about limited memory and processing power, but conserving battery charge as well.

My rusty Java skills make this hobby even more interesting, as does the switch back and forth between high-level MATLAB and lower-level Java.

comment Android keyboard resizes when changing letter casing
I agree with @Tareq in the use of an alternate keyboard, although I prefer Swiftkey. My children have the default keyboard on the Nexus 7 tablets, and it drives me nuts when I have to fix something. Especially not being able to long press for number but having to switch to a different keyboard entirely. Of course, it's still easier than inputting a 64-bit WPA2 passcode into a Nest thermostat. :-)

comment Add an APN to Samsung Galaxy S3 running 4.1.1
I'm back home now. I never was able to solve this problem. I actually went out a purchased a new SIM card + 1 month of service ($21 total) from a different local provider, but this didn't help either. Cell phone service did improve, so I kept it. It also was about 90% cheaper than the original service that I arranged.

This is exactly my issue. When I press the menu button the only option is "Reset to Default" (on my S3). My wife's RAZR works as you have described.

comment How can I stop applications and services from running?
I particularly like the "Ping the Developer" option. Speaking as a developer, I am always happy to receive feedback and have been surprised how little I receive email vs the number of comments I get in the ratings. Developers cannot respond to the ratings, but they can to email.
