WinMo Outlook annoyance 'accidental' left or right swipe easily switches message - General Topics

I've searched high and low for an answer to this one without success. I simply can't believe I'm the only one who has noticed the problem or that it hasn't been resolved by someone, somewhere - but where?
There's an annoying problem with WM6.1 and above whereby an inadvertent left or right movement, whilst actually trying to scroll up or down through an email, will actually move you onto the next (or previous) message.
I know that this swipe functionality (moving on to the next message by swiping right or previous message by swiping left) is absolutely intentional, but the problem is that it's just far too easy to inadvertently move to the next message (any slight finger movement across the screen) whilst actually simply trying to use a finger up swipe gesture to scroll and read the rest of the email that you've already got open.
Has anyone seen this or found a solution to this enduring annoyance?
Thanks.

I'm amazed that no one else has come across this problem?
There's an additional issue which is if you're reading HTML email where you can switch on scroll to right in order to view the whole width of the email then gesturing tends to switch email, rather than scroll.
Must be a way to switch off left and right swipe to change email surely - but how?

Full-screen notification list (like palmos) for WM?

Has anyone ever heard of such a thing? I've googled around and searched through xda-developers, and doesn't seem it exists.
(for those not familiar with it) - On Palm OS if there is more than one event in the stack, it pops up a fullscreen list of all outstanding notifications (ie. battery low, new text message, missed call, etc) with checkboxes and a timestamp next to each line, and a "dismiss all" button at the bottom. It makes it really nice for a snapshot view once you've been away from your phone for a while. It's a lot nicer than dismissing each notification, one at a time (particularly when they don't even use the same button to dismiss).

favotite/recent apps page turner at bottom of screen when swiping

Hello,
I recently started having a problem when trying to swipw from one screen to the next on my Galaxy Note 4. Instead of going to the next screen, the bottom corner of the page "flips up" like the page of a book. "Favorites" and "Recent" apps are displayed under the area of the flipped up page. A little balloon also pops up on the top right corner of the screen. I tried disabling multi-window bit this has not solved the problem. I do not know what this function is called and it is annoying. How can I disable it? Thank you!
I made a mistake and thought it was battery doctor but I found out that it is the app clean master instead.
IDK but I hate this too. I also hate the changes in voicemail, although that may be a T-Mob issue.

Creating a shortcut to launch Edge Screen

Hey guys is there a way we can create a shortcut to launch (slide open) the edge screen without using the traditional way off swiping.
The reasoning for this is with a full screen of stuff and my fat big fingers it's a 50 / 50 chance of getting the swipe right. I have tried looking for a week without any success so it's time to ask the question.
I think it would be better to have a icon to press than missing the swipe half the time and opening up something u have accidently swiped trying to open the edge.
I've tried tasker and secure settings and struggling to find the right path. ( can open settings and panels but can't find how to launch the screen.)
Any help would be appreciated.
I'm curious as well. I looked to see if there was a way to do this with Nova's shortcuts but didn't have any success there.
I got one solution sorted credit goes to another member of a different website.
Go to developer options check show pointer location to get the xy coordinates of your Edge Handle and go to tasker and do a run shell action. Make sure u check the root box., then I shortcut it on Nova Launcher.

Question Notification tile editing

Anyone else have issues with editing tiles in the notifications? See pic. I find that when I try to drag, hold, and move tiles that are pretty far down my list I am unable to move to to the area will they will show up when I pull down. As I move the moves far down, it will move my screen up a little bit, but then before I get to the top, it just seems to have a mini crash and is no longer able to be moved up. Hope this makes sense. If I'd does, anyone have a solution or a replacement for stock notifications? I don't have root if needed. Thx

Question Digital clock keeps overlaying the messages instantly

Hello everyone!
Is it just me who is really bothered that the display of new messages is constantly overlaid by the default digital clock? A new message comes in an instantly the default digital clock is shown instead of the message. The message is blurred in the background and can only be seen by tapping the display. For what reason do I have a smartwatch that shows me messages, wenn all I can see is alwyas the default clock?
There was the silent hope that this would be fixed after the firmware update, but it's still really annoying and sometimes only makes the clock usable to a very limited extent :-(
AOD and activation with wrist movement is active ... still I often have to tap the display or press the home button to get a proper display again. Annoying when I´m out with the dog and have always to use the hand that holds the leash to see the messages.
I have this happen when running Google Maps. I find it much more convenient (and safer) to glance at the directions on my wrist without having to use the phone. But half the time when I try to check the route, it's covered up by the time. I would really like to have Maps keep displaying until I reach my destination.
