Just got a Lumia 800 and I feel that when I scroll sometimes it interpretes my "scroll swipe request" as a tap and enters e.g an application. This is clearly visible when surfing using the browser when I keep zooming in and out when I try scrolling too fast (by lifting and dragging the finger in a fast motion).
Any clue why this is happening or is it just me being too comfy how Android handles things?

>>>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
I have some issues of the touchpad mistaking my palm as my finger and screwing up when I'm tryping to type. There's also a problem with how sensitive and fast the cursor moves. I hope ASUS adds a sensitivity setting in future updates.
Sent from my Transformer TF101
In a video review on youtube they said there was a hotkey to disable to trackpad for when you are typing. I don't have my tablet yet and haven't even found a keyboard dock, so I can't verify.
As far as sensitivity, I don't think there is much to be done about it for now. We will indeed have to hope ASUS adds a setting for it.
I have the same issue when I am typing where my palm seems to hit the trackpad and it brings the cursor somewhere else, messing up what I am typing. I guess that is sort of a good thing though because it is training me to be more ergonomically correct and keep my rests elevated while typing lol. There is a hot key to disable the track pad, but it is sort of a pain to have to do it every time you want to type.
I hope they include some settings for the next update to adjust sensitivity and to change what two finger actions do, because sometimes I notice myself trying to do a two finder scroll, and instead, it does a two finger click on a link.
Hey guys, has anyone figured out how to drag windows and icons on the desktop of your PC when using the splashtop remote desktop feature in mycloud? When I try and drag a window out of the way it just moves the whole view of the screen around, it's very annoying.
Double Tap the icon then drag.
You are probably just single tapping then drag, which would drag the whole screen.
Double Tap + drag = your finger should come off the screen once, and on the second tap u drag the icon
So yeah there is a way but it pretty much stinks. It's all about timing:
Tap the title bar once and let go
Tap the title bar again and hold to drag
You'll think I made it up as the first bunch of times the window drags around the screen but if you keep poking you'll get that wonderful moving window and spend the next few minutes trying to master your timing. With practice... you might even get up to about a 50% success rate.
I think a better option would be for them to use some of the multi-finger touch options for stuff like this but that hasn't occurred to them quite yet I guess.
Happy poking!
Aloha all, Having trouble knowing how to ask this...bear with me.
I am having problems with the menus that are triggered by the 'hover' action of a mouse. Using the surface pro or even my lumia 920 I am frequently unable to operate many menus on sites.
officefootballpools.com tournamentpools.com and a host of other sites have the same type menus.
Normal action would be with a mouse and when you hover it drops down a menu that you click your selection. Its isn't a normal drop down but a .li. html type for the menu.
Im sure this has been discussed but I was looking for some vocabulary so I can search the right threads.
You cant interact with hover images via capacitative touch. The browser has no way to tell if you want to click or just show the drop down, it assumes click. Some sites (with limited success) I have managed to press and hold on a link to show its drop down, then if you ignore the usual right click popup then you can sometimes hit the correct icon, this is on a lumia 710.
Otherwise if you have a device with an active stylus (the surface pro for example) you can get rollover easily. If you notice when you hold the pen a tiny bit off of the screen you get a little dot appearing on the screen where the pen is pointing without any physical contact. This dot can trigger rollover events as in this case windows knows that you are not touching the screen, touch becomes a click, hovering the pen over the screen becomes mouse movement which is enough to trigger rollover.
Thank you for your reply. I understand and assumed the same. I have been working with an x61t for a few years so the jump to capacitive has thrown me a bit.
Okay, so what are web developers doing instead of this type of drop down? I recently read an article that says a lot of developers are moving to the new msn.com type format with nav bars on left or right with no hover...
Anyway thanks again. The volume of sites with this issue is pretty large. Yahoo.com/fantasy chokes a donkey, etc.
Side question, does Win8 have the on screen mouse that I used to have on my Lenovo? Or is that a Lenovo product probably?
Alot of web developers are doing nothing at all. In some cases clicking the link that causes the dropdown redirects to a page listing the other links in that dropdown, that's always handy. Usually most devs create mobile versions of sites which are normally touch friendly. I have seen 1 or 2 sites create iPhone versions before, these worked nicely on android so I would assume they are fine on the lumia and maybe the surface.
I haven't ever seen an on screen mouse before but if there is not one in windows 8 then there may be a 3rd party one somewhere. I am on my phone right now, otherwise I would have looked myself.
One advantage of using "Mobile" websites is that they should be designed with the limitation of touchscreens - specifically, the inability to track hover - in mind. That may help you out.
Alternatively, the Surface Pro uses an active Wacom digitizer (as well as a touchscreen) that can sense the pen at a distance. You can use the stylus pretty much perfectly as a mouse, with hover and right-click and everything.
Hello,
I've recently bought a Lenovo P11 tablet to take notes. When drawing with a pen, however, I have this problem (and I have verified it by enabling touch detector in developer options): when I lay the pen/finger on the screen, there is an area (I would say 2-3 cm) where the cursor doesn't move even if I move the pen. When I exit that area, a line gets drawn between where I started and where I arrived, but this is wrong as I may have drawn curves in the middle of the two.
This leads to two things:
* When I want to draw something rounded (like a "2"), the upper part gets drawn as a line unless I draw it very big.
* When I want to draw something small, only a dot gets drawn because I didn't leave the "area" and therefore didn't trigger the cursor.
Now I am pretty sure this is a software problem, as if it were a problem with the screen this wouldn't happen only at the start of the line.
Also, I'm sure this is not because of the application I'm using (OneNote), as I've tested with the developer options to show the cursor and in any place in the OS, when I start drawing, the cursor is stuck at where I've begun.
Anyone can help?
Thanks.
