Hello,
I bought HTC HD2 Leo. I tested it but it soon got on it's Borders by Handling.
Most actual Point is selecting Texts in Browser or Files in the Explorer or Cells in Excel:
When I want to select, this is nearly impossible because this Finger Gesture is always wrong interpretated as Scrolling Gesture, but i don't want to Scroll, I want mark Files or Cells or Text. With A Stylus this was much easyer.
Who can help me with some Addon, Tool, Programm, Idea, whatever?
I like Windows Mobile because of Compatibility and the Office Functions and the easy Copy&Paste. But now this is so unprecise, vague and difficult at the HTC Leo!
So I did'nt immagine my new Device and Proud. Sad.
What can I do to fix this?
Hot Thanks! Manuel
Just tested marking text in word mobile in a text file. The trick is, when you have a long text file with a scrollbar, to keep the screen pressed where you want to start marking text. A small icon will pop up above your finger, it looks like [T]. When you see this, move your finger to mark your text. Works like a charm.
Or you can try notepad 1.6: http://www.shamasis.net/projects/notepad-mobile/#download

Im starting to like the new wave of "finger friendly" applications. Applications that you can work with your finger rather than using the stylus, as much as it pains me to say this but iPhone like.
One such application is the HTC photo album application which gives a grid view of the images inside the folder.
Im wondering if theres a file system version where by i can browse folders, do simple tasks such as copy paste open delete etc all being able to use my finger, i phone style rather than using the stylus
Thanks for any info

newest Resco File Explorer is great
it does have touch scrolling embedded but not finger friendly :/
I think if you turn resco to icon view and remove some of the tool bars its nearly there, it would be cool if it loaded thumbnails of files but i think i might be asking for too much

resco 7 is excellent explorer, but i also have problems with finger scrolling (v7.02). instead of scrolling it selects files. because of this you must use hardkeys or stylus. maybe they will fix this, as this is relatively young application.
You could always use Total Commander, and set it to icon view. I've also made the scroll bars wider, so I don't ever really need the stylus. There's a few things I won't pay for, and it a file explorer .
hallow all
i have an htc diamond 2 , only problem is on sms massages , text is too small and difficult to read, any ideas on how to make text letters on sms bigger???
thanks
Hi!
1) Slide touchflo to the settings tab (the last one)
2) Press the left soft button that should say something like all settings (or maybe "more", I don't have a WWE ROM so I really don't know what the button label is). This will bring up the regular windows mobile settings dialog.
3) Select the screen or display icon
4) In the screen dialog select the last tab at the bottom, I should say something like text size
5) Slide the text size slider to desired value
6) You may have to soft reset the device for the changes to be effective

PK
Edited the thread title for a little more clarity.
Also, have you tried sliding your finger on the zoom bar? I know the original Diamond supports zooming SMS text with the capacitive area.

Hi!

thank you very much for your advice, i have try all but unfortunately nothinkg works, on received sms text still too small, any ideas ? or any program that might fix this?
Thanks
Hi!
Could you please provide some more information regarding how you actually reads your messages. There are at least 3 different places to read a SMS
1) The touchflo SMS tab
2) The touchflo contact SMS tab
3) The regular windows mobile messages application
The suggested solutions mentioned so far only changes the font size in the regular windows mobile messages application (alternative 3). I think the font size in the touchflo interface is hard coded by HTC, and is not changeable without decompiling the touchflo script files and changes the values. This is not something you wants to do, I guess there are only a couple of people in this entire forum capable of performing that task.

PK

ok , nice question , now we getting somewhere , on regular windows sms i can read the text size which i have selected on my system - screen -text size, but needs for someone to play around with a couple of buttons to be able to see that text, also is not that user friendly , (for me at least).
now on the other two cases touchflo sms tabs and touchflo contact sms the text is very small. the last two cases i find it friendly and easy to use and navigate around your sms history with that person.
Thanks a lot.
Regarding SMS editing
DO you know how to solve the problem of the textbox size (to small, you can see only one or 2 lines) when editing an sms from the sms list view ? (e.g. when you want to reply on the same windows where you read the received sms).
Thanks

That's only the text box that you type in, not the window that displays the messages. If anyone know the messages one, let me know
In settings there is a setting where you change the text size. Make that bigger and SMS will be bigger..
It could just be me, maybe it is ment to look this way, but....
The internet explorer font is really really big. I even set the text size to "smaller". There is also an annoying scroll bar on the right corner that pops up and takes up about a quarter of the screen.
Another glitch is typing in text. For instance when I try to post something on face book you can't see the text your typing until you actually post. Seems to happen if I put in more the 5 or 6 characters.
I'm old and wear glasses but I don't need the view to be this big!
Any ideas? Besides don't use it?
Thanks.
obviously ur talking about the i.e from the newly created Ookba ROM, and i mentioned this bug to Ookba and he said he was going to try and tackle it shortly.
also, have u tried switching from "Desktop View" to "Mobile View" in i.e.?
I found a nice medium with adjusting the zoom with medium fonts.
Yes, I messed with all the settings. mobile view with smaller text, etc etc. no difference. but thanks!
yea the "let me show you where you on the page by taking up 25% of the page itself" is really annoying. Any reg key to disable this page-scrolling popup?
I've had the Desire S for a month now (but currently being repaired after non-boot; irrelevant to this I think?). I notice since the first day that the text select magnifier doesn't work perfectly particularly when trying to select text on the top row. The magnifier is hidden behind my finger and doesn't reposition in the same way it does if I select text from lower down, presumably because there is space for the box to exist. Is this everyone else's experience?
Also I find that sometimes when dragging my finger around to find the end of the word I want to drop the cursor, when moving between lines, the cursor line gets lost.
I have to say I prefer the native Android text select with the big blocks for this reason.
Yep I too have found that the text selecting tool is a little buggy
As you say putting the cursor on the to line is and sometimes the start and end of lines is difficult.
Allough I've found that with practice it gets easier to use.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
It is somewhat not thought through....I've noticed this when writing e-mail (the text starts right on the top of the screen...) but it can be easily avoided by sliding the whole window down, so you can see the addresses to send the e-mail to...it is just fine when writing SMS... I'm on 1.28.401.1 here in CZ
Not just me then. Does an App exist that restores the default Android text tools? I know there's something which removes the Sense keyboard...

There are several Sense keyboard replacements, I use Swype, yet the text selection from Sense is still there....
At one point i had an application, thought it was Snote or Supernote.....
that when i did handwriting it converted to text automatically while i wrote (if i paused for a second).
It was really cool and in a cool font. I cannot read my own handwriting and this app did it amazingly fast.
Where is it and how do i get it back.
I have even flashed my Note Pro back to 4.4.2 to see if it was some sort of an update to Snote that i found while searching the forum.
Any way no luck.
Any help greatly appreciated.
I might be wrong but it sounds like you might mean the handwriting keyboard. This allows you to write in pretty much any application with handwriting. It puts a little notepad where the keyboard would normally pop up. As you write it converts to text with kind of a cool handwriting font. To access it make sure you have the default samsung keyboard. Then tap the little microphone/gear icon to the left of the spacebar. Then choose the handwriting icon. That should pop up the handwriting pad.
Alternatively there is a google handwriting input keyboard available in the app store, but I find the samsung one just as goo.
Yes I think thats it....i just am missing one piece of the puzzle....which app or application do i start to write my notes in?
I just tried Snote and it didnt do it and i also tries supernote but it didn't do it either.
I just would like to make some great notes and poems and such with a readable cool font....like you mentioned.
I cant seem to see how to attach a pic either... imgur.com/a/WuvaS
Also followed these directions,
tomsguide com faq id-1765262 enable-handwriting-text-note
but the function icon or the T button are not there.
Maybe I have the wrong Snote apk/application
Below is the process (from tomsguide website) that would help you enable the Handwriting-to-Text option in the S Note:
On your Samsung smartphone or tablet, tap the app drawer icon.
Tap the S Note icon to initiate the app.
On the displayed S Note screen, tap the + icon from the top right corner.
On the Select a template window, choose the template of your choice from the displayed list by tapping on it.
Once created, long tap (tap and hold) the Formula Match icon, i.e. f(x), from the Productivity Tools bar at the top left corner.
From the displayed options, tab Handwriting-to-Text icon, i.e. T, to select it.
You will see that now you can use the stylus to create handwritten characters on the page which are then automatically converted to the text.
In order to get the normal handwritten typing format back, you can simply tap the pen icon from the Productivity Tools bar.
You can also follow the 5[super]th[/super] step and select the Formula Match or Shape Match icon to make the S Note recognize the formulas or drawn shapes respectively using the stylus and convert them to their corresponding objects.
You can do it in S-note. After You open S-note make sure YOU select all from the drop down on the upper-left. Then hit the drop down men dots on the right and choose template. This gives you a much larger selection of templates like portrait notes and such. Choose whichever you like and write your note. You can either handwrite Your note or choose the T option and have it convert to text as you write. Once you have it converted to text use the selection tool. Choose properties and then change the font.
Thank you.
I am just flashing Nougat and will check in again later.
Yes the Handwriting Keyboard works.....just not the same as the Snote from before (like on the Note 2).
I did like the Magnetic Lasso.
