Sometimes in Opera, the touch-sensitive scroll wheel seems to move the highlight from link to link.
Most of the time it zooms in and out, which is what I want.
Does anyone else get this weird behaviour? Do you know what's causing it, and how to stop it?
I have found that going back to TF3D then back into the browser seems to cure it temporarily.
happens to me too. what i do is click on another part of the page to make it zoom in and out.
I'm thinking that I must be doing something to make the wheel change "modes" from "Zoom" mode to "Scroll" mode somehow, but I've no idea what. I don't recall the manual saying anything about it either...
Nobody got any ideas then?

I'm looking for a solution for a hermes, but assume it would be the same for wizard, kaiser, etc.
I'm often browsing the internet on my phone, and want to type just a few words without losing any screen estate to an onscreen keyboard, and without causing the screen to reprocess to landscape. I especially want to do this as I often have ms reader in the background, and it locks up the whole device while it repaginates the book.
Searching the obvious terms is just leading to people who want to rotate the screen without opening the keyboard - not want I want to do.
Any tips would be appreciated. I either want a way to lock the screen to portrait, or a way to make the device ignore the light sensor which tells it the keyboard is out (but if the keys could still light up, that would be a bonus.)
I`m using Opera, in portrait mode and I get keyboard to write -> the screen of my Kaiser flips in the opposite direction of my keyboard ._.
So yeah, this would be great.
if it works from a light sensor just cover it up with something maybe?
edit: it doesn't work lol, i also have this problem. my phone is too slow to handle this. i bet there's a registry setting for it. if i find anything out ill let you know
Okay, after further searching I found that someone had answered this question.

I now have rotate mapped to a button, (using spb pocket plus, rather than the program in the thread), so I rotate the screen manually when I want.
Lokioki - this solution will probably suit you for your opera problem.
I've been looking all over the place, but I can't find a solution to this. Sometimes when I go to reply to a text, the text entry box is halfway cut off, with the send/menu touch buttons overlapping it. Soft reset doesn't fix it, it's just kinda random. Anyone else have this problem or know about it?
i've had this happen a couple times before.
a temporary fix is to bring up the onscreen keyboard, then hiding it and it should be back to where its supposed to be.
Running IGO8 8.3.4.102680, default skin. It's working quite well on my stock AT&T Pure except (always and except, right?) for one problem -- while in 3D mode following a route, the zoom out ("-") button on the screen zooms IN!
Anyone experience anything like this? I usually rely on the 2D views, but 3D is rather nice at times. I'd like to be able to zoom out to get an overview of the surrounding area. I have a sys.txt file, but I'm not sure how the 3D options work.
thanks

Press once on the center of the screen (dont drag or you'll go in to scroll mode) once you're on the map screen or 3d screen. Icons will pop up at the side and presets at the bottom will appear.
use the presets and it should be fine, if not go into settings and into navigation and turn off automatic overview
EDIT: Sorry, i just realized your problem was about the zoom button not working, i would edit it out but it wont hurt to leave it i guess >< lol
as for your situation, no i have not experienced it
Hello all:
I have been experiencing a particularly vexing problem with my captivate. At random intervals, the search interface displays on the screen without any of the buttons on the bottom of the phone being pressed. This seems to be particularly true when holding the phone in landscape (playing Angry Birds). My hand is nowhere near the end of the phone with the buttons, so I don't understand how this can be happening.
Any advice/help that can be offered will be appreciated.

Happens on mine every now and then too, usually when I'm driving and the officer is mounted on the windshield, so my hands are no where near it.
I've seen other posts about it. I don't think there's any fix except a replacement.

Officer = phone. Oh swype.

capacitive button problem. I have it too but on the menu key. Rare but very annoying. Perhaps its dust?
There are quite a few people complaining about it.
even my search key gives this issue.....isnt there a way to disable that key..??i rarely use it....
btw, wouldnt it be cool if the search key was changed to a camera key for takin pictures.....its way lot easier than focusing and clicking by tapping on the screen...

Hmm, if yours has the problem, it would be rather detrimental to performance if you were to map it to camera shutter, wouldnt it?
Thanks to all. I had searched but hadn't seen anyone that had the same problem (time to brush up on my search skills?). I will consider a replacement, because it really sucks when I have a perfect shot in Angry Birds and the search interface comes up.

My original Captivate had a problem where the Home button would get "stuck".
The phone would start buzzing and going to the Home screen violently and over and over again.
I got it exchanged.
Probably a similar issue.
Yep, same problem here. Although I haven't seen it happen since I went back to stock and did the OTA update through Kies.
Not sure if that actually is why it's not happening though.
you can edit the Melfas-touchkey.kl file and disable the search key
system/usr/keylayout/Melfas-touchkey.kl

You can do better than that; you can assign it to the CAMERA, just replace the text SEARCH with CAMERA in that file and reboot. I tried it, it works, and pressing the key while in camera mode takes the picture! It's quite nice actually. Long press for voice search no longer works, however.
Tried searching with various keywords for this issue. Wasn't able to find anything. Would appreciate any assistance or a link to a thread that this was discussed in. Thanks.
Issue: I have not figured out the actual trigger yet, but very frequently when i'm composing an SMS/MMS, when I need to press on the backspace, it brings me to a different screen which is asking me about clearing entire words. Clicking the cancel and/or the back menu button doesn't do anything. Sometimes it requires multiple attempts or sometimes switching to portrait or landscape and reattempting. Once it does clear that screen. It doesn't allow me to bring up the keyboard again unless i completely back out of composing the msg or again having to switch to opposite screen orientation. Been dealing with this for sometime, but its been happening more frequently and annoying. Any help you can provide is appreciated.
Running inspired saga v1.1.
thanks in advance.
This happens if you open the keyboard in portrait, switch to landscape, and then have to backspace to correct a word. Rotate your phone to the landscape position first and then open the keyboard. Switching mid text will get you. It is an annoying bug.

Thanks. Sucks that there's no fix for it yet or at least no one has replied yet to direct me to a fix. Its bothersome enough that I'll most likely need to switch sms apps.
