I am a little confused, as to why I cant zoom in/out by strechting on the display with 2 fingers, like it works on every other phone I had. Tried that with every website I know, doesnt work. But why ?

Just wondering what is the best barcode reader app for the HD2, I've seen a few but not sure which is the best one.
I want it to also be able to price compare and show the best place to get an item.
+1!
I haven't found a good one, yet. The only one that way works in an acceptable way is the German one WOABI.
if you meen the square barcode then "I-nigma" is good and free
I use Mobiletag, it does work (I tried it on a book, a box of tissues a can of soup and a dvd) to name a few things... They do seem to be upgrading it too, so time will tell how much better it gets.
But it is freeware and it does work on the HD2
hope that helps

the problem with mobiletag is that it doesn't have an integrated camera app and it doesn't shoot automatically like Quickmark, so I have problems in getting the barcode recognized. How does it work for you?
After the upgrade from version 2 to 3 it works fine
You run the app, then tap anywhere on the screen, it opens very quickly with your own phones camera
Holding your phone in Portrait mode only (it doesnt work landscape) focus the barcode in the centre of the screen so it all but fills the screen left to right, and wait for your phone to focus on it (usually about 2 seconds) in general if it looks clear to you on screen the app recognises it too...
Dont try and take the photo, you dont press anything when its in the camera part, once it sees the barcode thats it
It makes an odd sound and goes back to the reader again and done
(an odd point, I cant get it to work when only have a 3g connection, it seems to need a HSDPA connection)
Have another try with it ozkaya

you know what?? it just worked!! thanks a lot for your suggestion, I was trying to take the photo myself while in landscape mode, now all is fine
btw: it works for me with wifi and landscape as well.
edit: this must be one of the best apps for WinMo, it correctly identified almost ALL of my CDs.

Is there a way to calibrate touch on screen (similar to way we did it on Windows Mobile?).
My screen is quite a bit off. Keyboard enters keys below what I click; when I select links on the browser, even if zoom in close and be very sure I click in right area, it will select the link below.
Very frustrating.
I cannot find a way to calibrate it.
This on top of the VERY laggy response(currently trying Thumb Kekyboard) makes the experience pretty bad. I was working to make this something for my wife to use, but she may throw it and me out the door.
the browser is also off for me slightly, it works fine everywhere else though. It seems to be fine in Aurora browser (firefox alpha).
Also if it's laggy get a custom ROM.
Just installed Synergy JB and have noticed that there is one finger zoom in here where you basically slide up and down on the edge of the screen and it zooms in and out. I see people with the note II have this also so it seems it may be a Touchwiz JB feature but I haven't seen a way to turn it off. It's nice but would love to find a way to toggle it. I already checked display, accessibility, and motion controls with no luck and it zooms in any app that can zoom.
If I remember correctly E actually put the GNOTE 2 camera in that ROM so what you are seeing is that actually camera... As far as I know the only way to change that would be to flash a different camera.... HOWEVER.. I do have the NOTE 2 camera on mine also and can pinch to zoom or use the volume keys so there may be different versions of that also... But anyways flash a different camera and that should do the trick

Well its not just the camera it's in the browser, wikipedia app, and others
I apologize.. I swear the post said in the camera app.... I know he pulled a few .APK's from the Note 2... All I can suggest is check the settings for the individual apps... You could also try and download a different browser and try that... That would help narrow it down if it is something "Overseeing" the ROM or something specific to certain .APK's....
anyone find a fix for this...it's happening in my browser now and it's killing me?

What Scroll Bars?

With all due respect, you may want to look at your screen and take note of the fact there are no scroll bars.
I understand that we are creatures of habit, and as I have been using the GUI, with Scroll Bars since the first Mac (1984) I too tend to use the edge of the screen to scroll, but the truth is, it is a Phone, not a Mac, not a PC. It has no scroll bars. Scroll slightly to the left (or to the right-so to not disenfranchise left handed phone users) or 1/4 of the way across, or 1/3rd, or 1/2 or 3/4 quarters, etc. etc. etc.
Anywhere you'd like. It's a Phone, it's a touch screen. No mouse, no ability to tap in the scroll bar and have the screen advance. No way to position your mouse over the up or down arrow, and have the screen scroll smoothly without any other movement than you holding down the mouse button.
It's a Phone. Get it?
Anyway, what is really infuriating is that Samsung put this feature on the phone, didn't tell anyone, until people started complaining about it and reporting it as a bug, and then rather than either tell people about it, or add the ability through a Setting to disable it, in a new release of the software, the morons simply took it away.
So let me ask you, if your phone came configured with the setting disabled by default, but gave you the option to enable it, try it, see if you liked it, then said, nah, and turned it off, would that have been best for you and guys like me who depend on it all day every day to be able to use my Phone with one hand?
I think the answer is obvious.
Samsung, you are laughable, amateur software developers.
Thankfully we have XDA.
Now I just need one of you on here to figure out where in the heck it is hidden so you can make me a build that includes it with whatever else is in the latest releases.
You see, Android is almost entirely "Hard Coded" so it is not something the average user can just go "teeak" , like following the step by step instructions of someone to simply "Hack" the Windows Registry to make it the way we like it.
All the more reason Samsung is so pitiful.
I imagine this is a ration issue? I haven't tried changing the screen settings.... Notice on some pages the text goes past the edges making it unreadable in portrait. You can't swipe left and right to move the screen because the page thinks it fits.
If you are using a third-party browser app that doesn't support 18.5:9 and you put it into fullscreen mode, this is what will happen. You either have to set it back to normal mode or use one of the two browsers that came with the phone (i.e. Samsung Internet or Chrome).
If you are using one of those two browsers and this still happens, then it sounds like some sort of bug.
Chrome.
Am I the only one who thinks the flex mode in the new one ui 3.1.1 is a serious downgrade ? Not only they removed the ability to resize the split, which is a major thing for me, they also oversimplified the controls.
For example: while watching a video on chrome. I used to fold and it would have a big bar for me to position precisely the video time, while telling me the duration of the video and which time it was currently. It had a brightness and sound slider at all times.
And now we just get a tiny slider for the video, a button for each brightness and sound, and i cant resize the damn window split. For me personally is very frustrating since it's something i use on a regular basis. And if i try to use multistar like i was, it will just send me to the new labs settings.
Anyone else who thinks it's worse, or it's something no one but me uses ? Does anyone know a work around or way to go back to the old style ? Thank you.
I agree. I noticed it on my ZF3. YouTube doesn't even give you the player on the bottom half now.
