Tablet mode - Thunderbolt General

The tablet mode is sweet but man it can be hard on old eyes viewing the small fonts.

Yes it is. I had same problem so went back to reg phone mode.
However, did you set system font size to huge? That helped and made it possible to use tablet mode.
If you have ROM Toolbox you can also substitute larger system fonts. But sometimes the spacing gets messed up when you do that.

Have you tried using a magnifying glass?

Thanks for making me picture an old man walking aimlessly with a magnifying glass pointed at his Thunderbolt while running into things...lol

Yes I made the font huge but also use the Ubuntu font which is my favorite.
I do have the Rom Toolbox Pro installed for blocking some ads; using fonts and additional features.
I just went back to the regular phone mode at 192 dpi. The Tablet mode put the Google Music widget directly behind the date/time widget on the lock screen.
All in all this Rom is the bomb. I will be glad when the Cam corder is working.

Is this normal??

When I unlock my phone and swipe to the next screen it is unresponsive and have to take several swipes sometimes before the phone wakes up and goes to the next screen.

Doesn't sound very 'normal' to me.

To answer your question......no...

This is not normal. A few questions for you though:
1. Did you root your phone or mod it in any other way?
2. Are you using an alternative launcher?
3. If a third-party app is causing this, it may be hard to diagnose. Could you go into Settings > About phone > Battery use and list the apps and usage numbers? This could provide some leads.
Had this problem with a non-standard background-picture and 3d wallpaper.
(not rooted/unlocked 2.3.4)
I opened thread abou tuning touchscreen, if you still on 2.3.3 u can use modified netarchy kernel fixing this issue.

Thank you guys!
OK so I notice that this happens sometimes when I use heavy wallpapers. So switched to lower size wallpapers and is doing the trick.
My phone is not rooted. I want to root it and customize it so bad but I'm afraid to brick my phone.

You guys are great!!! Thanks again!! Would love to have cm7 on my phone.... Hey anyone from NYC want to meet up and hook up my phone lol!!

Awesome keyboard for the tab

Hey guys, I'm not affiliated with these guys in any way but you really should check out perfect keyboard free.. the height is adjustable and it has a split layout for landscape mode with the numbers in the middle.. I just ran across it today and love it! Its a perfect keyboard for the tab.

That is a good keyboard, I've tried it on my Tab!... I actually prefer to use Thumb Keyboard now, its got several different layouts and great themes!

Same here, Thumb Keyboard is the best on the Tab. It has good options:
- Split keyboard with numbers in the middle,
- small keyboard in the corner for 1 hand use..
and much more good ones.

I use a logitek bluetooth keyboard with mouse pad on it, it works good, but usually i'm not thinking it about using it, as it's easier to use the keypad on the tab itself.
Been using thumbkeyboard for a while now and it is very nice. Fully customizable according to your need and nice layout especially for tab user by holding it with both hand and typing with the thumb.
I have been using smart keyboard pro and its the only keyboard so far without the ddoouubbllee lleetteerriinngg bugz

I use smart keyboard pro as well, but would really like a landscape thumbmode. Does anyone know if they plan on releasing an updated tab version.

I tried many keyboards but I returned to the original Samsung one.
I tried it too and its awesome but there isn't that big of a difference to the gingerbread keyboard which works like a charm
Basically every keyboard is better than the one samsung provides

Works flawless on Galaxy S III Skyrocket R4 ROM! Things look much more "finished" all lined up.
Can get more icons on less pages, leaving wallpaper more visible too.
Working nicely. What is the 1 above the am/pm?

Wallpaper won't display properly. If I choose an already downloaded image and set it, its like blown up and distorted. I use zedge mostly and if I set it from inside the app it displays properly. Anyone else experiencing this?

Nice work. I run 190 dpi and instead of stretching it out it centers everything in the smaller, 240 dpi setting.
Guess I should go to the original thread and report it.

Interesting. I haven't tried changing the DPI on it. I can look at the layout XMLs and see if I can't get it to scale properly. May take some time though.

Not sure. I either use Live Wallpapers or use QuickPic to set the Wallpaper. What ROM are you using?
I have, however, noticed that I sometimes have to set the Live Wallpaper more than one time to get it to take....will have to look into that one.

What device do you want to use it on?
There is an app called Transframers Photo Frame on the market. For some reason it says free in the description, but there is a price to it.
It was free when I got it (maybe an older version), but try it out
I use it on my ASUS Transformer which is now with my wife. If you need me to pull the apk, remind me on the 14th (when she is back) and I'll see how I can help.

Have you tried the "Productivity" lockscreen in Personalization?
Yeah I tried it, but it is buggy with the Holo Light skin so I want to use the Wallpaper-Lockscreen (the first one, I'm not sure how it's called in English)

Stock unrooted.
To clarify what I mean with buggy: On this skin, the cards in the productivity lockscreen don't have any background, so you can't read anything when you have more than one card, because there's one text lying directly over another.
That sounds absurd, reset factory settings and try again.
It's a problem caused by this specific skin, other users have it as well. Other skins work fine btw. Sadly, I don't know how to change parts of a skin :/
