I dont know if this exists, but I've done some searching and havent found anything.
Would there be a way to make the home screen slide screens vertically instead of horizontally? In a way that it would stop at the end of the new screen, not continue scrolling, would also be good.
This is just an idea, But I think it would be pretty cool. Maybe if we could even incorporate both horizontal and vertical, so your home screens would be above / below / left / right!
Even better. What if we had tilt abilities to choose apps!!
Instead of going up down left or right, just tilt your phone to areas of a map sort of thing and have apps in different areas to find them
Still no answer, please guys

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.
Why is it so hard to push the left and right keys? they should have made it just like the up and down keys.
I want to play frogger and you just cant do it lol
Is there anyway around this?
I agree. It is SOO HARD
is there any way to "hard mod" it by like dremaling holes in the faceplate and just attaching little button nubs to the sensor? anyone tried this? i would rather it worked than looked pretty....seriously htc, what the heck.
just find the point between the home icon and phone icon an press it over and over on each side it really is a "sweet spot" as described in another thread. Once you get it it will come naturally, at least for me it did

I've had my Fuze since launch and it is still hit and miss. The bad thing is gaming, when you really rely on the buttons... you don't have time to look down and get the thumb placement 100% right. This is the problem.
What I would LOVE to see happen is to completely get rid of the Today and Back buttons, since I never use them anyway. The Red End key works as a Today button and I'm accustomed to using the X close button to minimize/close my apps.
With the Today and Back buttons disabled it would be much easier to use Left/Right because then you wouldn't have to worry about ending up at the today screen.
OR an even better solution would be to simply re-assign the Today and Back keys as softkeys (which could then be reassigned in the game's button mapping) or remap the hard keys to Left/Right for easy use. Either way it would work pretty well.
For the time being... I wonder if you could place a small circular sticker on the "correct" placement... thus fooling the sensor that every time it is pressed it "see's" the sticker thinking it is your thumb and triggers left/right actions.
OR if that doesn't work... what about finding the correct placement location and installing some kind of "dimple". Like a small half-bubble-like sticker that will enable you to "feel" where the correct spot is. This way when your playing, you could at least find the dimple, and press... all without looking.
Just a few ideas. I haven't tried any of them, so if anything works let me know.
>>>APOLOGIES IF THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN COVERED - but **I** can't find anything definitive on it for the HD2<<<
I used to use AEButtonPlus on my HD to scroll up and down in lists etc, so to avoid opening each item etc - does anyone know if either AEButtonPlus is compatible [not mentioned in the Wiki] or if there's a way to do this (scroll without opening each item)?
Many thanks in advance
It just takes a little practice. Make sure you don't tap the screen (tapping = a short touch in one place). To stop a scrolling list, put your finger down and keep it down. If you slightly drag the screen instead of keeping your finger in one place, this avoids accidental selection as well.
Also, many screens still have a hidden scroll bar on the right.
Don't know if AUButtonPlus works on the HD2.
AEButtonPlus works and you can map the volume, Start and OK/back buttons.
Brilliant - thanks guys
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
Hey guys
I recently dropped my phone and cracked the top right corner of the screen and as a result, a triangle shaped corner of the touchscreen doesn't work anymore. This isn't really a problem in itself, but the phone randomly presses that area of the phone without me touching it, which makes it hard to do things like text (as it's constantly tapping that dead corner of the screen and exiting apps etc).
I did a bit of research and I know Iphones have a feature called guided access that disables areas of the screen (like the notification area etc. to stop children from messing around with phones when playing games) and I was hoping to find a similar app to do the same to disable this corner, but I haven't been able to find any. There's only apps like surelock that can disable the whole screen, but not specific areas of it.
Does anyone know of an app I can use to do this, or perhaps another way to just disable this section of my screen? I was also looking into changing the resolution to use a smaller area of the physical screen but am not sure that's possible.
Thanks!
