Hi guys
Has anyone mastered how to use palmswipe effectively? I've spent ages trying to get a good screenshot but often my palm opens up apps it touches, opens the edge screen or selects random items instead of taking a screenshot. I find let to right more accurate but I just cant get that screenshot when needed
Maybe I'm doing it wrong or missing something - any help/advice will be muchly appreciated
I just use the side of my pinkie finger in the middle of the screen. I had issues too as trying to palm swipe would cause the screen to scroll around or swipe to the next image or page.
Hope that helps

That works a dream - I was always starting right from the edge of the screen but starting from the middle of the screen is much better.
Cheers
I find its much easier to use power button and volume down button simultaneously .

Swipe left to right using the edge of your pinkie+palm.

I appologize if its already on here somewhere but I didn't find much on it. what I think would make the G1 much nicer to use would be a back gesture rather then having to reach down to the back button all the time. u know slide your thumb from right to the left when ur in an app and it would be the same as streching your thumb all the way down to the back button. If someone could either tell me how to set gestures or make something quick and simple to do it I think it would be much nicer to use and I would appriciate it much.
This forum is great and helped me tons on my universal so naturally I'm turning here for help first. I have a feeling by the end of the year Android will be killin the iphone! Turns out its not the phone, its the OS... lol..
The G1 does that to a certain extent but what you are talking about would require a lot of codding in the OS, I don`t think it would be a simple task. But if you are a coder and want to do this, I`m sure other people can offer you some assitance, JF would be one of them for sure. Cheers!

Possibly the only space the operating system reserves for its own input detection is the notification bar. I imagine it might be possible to add some kind of swipe detection to that. However considering how narrow that space is, I don't see how it would be any better than just clicking the back button.
As for the system detecting swipes on the whole lcd, that's probably a non-starter. It would break the touch user interface of many apps.
Currently there are two ways to bring up the programs tab - dragging the tab up and a short press on the tab itself. It *may* be possible to change the function of the short press to 'back' but I think that may cause a lot of inadvertent 'back' presses...

I think what svxdriver wants is for a leftward swipe to be universally recognized as a backstep, meaning not just on the Launcher screen but in all applications.
Not sure how well that would work. The o/s would need to distinguish between a swipe and just scrolling across the screen. Easier, I think, to just use the back button.

well it doesn't have a hard time distinguishing between moving up on a page and when you drag from the top of the screen to pull the notification bar down. in windows mobile I had a program that I could assign different gestures to do different things.. I thought it the same kind of thing would be handy.. but I wouldn't want it to go back cause I swiped, onlyl if I swipe from the edge of th screen to signify I want to go back..
Whats up guys
Just got this phone this week and there's been something really annoying me. When I go to reply to a text or compose a new one, if I slide the screen right after clicking that button that stupid button screen comes up screws up the text. Do you really have to wait until the messages are on the screen to rotate? Or is there a way around it?
Thanks
Joe

I find that with my pro and my other wm devices that I need to be kind of methodical and go thru the process to get where I want to be. If I try to speed things up I frequently end up with freeze ups amd slow downs anyway. Sometimes another rom can help with these types of issues. My .02

No you can't I think you're thinking of MaxManila.
on the home screen, click on menu>remove home screen tabs and untick the ones you don't want
Hi all
Yes i know you can remove certain icons but you are always left with the home icon but this just seems a waste of space and also i like to have a full clear home screen.
Try this, let me know if it works for you though, didn't install properly on mine, had to uninstall.
Hi, this is my first post as I only recently got my Infinity after getting a refund for my Prime. Presently I am running Stock ROM with Jelly Bean and it is rooted but not unlocked.
After the Jelly Bean update I noticed that while on the home screen I could longer change from screen to screen by touching along the edge of the screen instead I had to do the swipe action in order for it to change. Here's a picture to show what I'm talking about:
http://dl.xda-developers.com/attach...c2a86d1cf64/508863d2/1/4/2/8/0/0/9/Screen.jpg
Those red boxes are the areas that when you normally touch along there the screen switches either to the left or right one. Strangely, after a fresh boot up it, touching those areas works but as soon as I go into the menu area and return back to the home screen it no longer functions. Also if i should rotate the tablet to portrait and then back to landscape the ability to do the touch returns until I go back into the menu again.
Anyone else having this problems? Any idea what could be wrong? I did 2 factory resets with no help. Help, Please!
Thanks.
Oh I don't know. The people here, maybe? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1917222&
There's this bar at the top right of the screen. It says "Search". Clicking the gear behind it allows you to select the TF700 forum only. Please use it, people here have little patience with those who do not search first.

Sorry. I did search for this problem first but I only looked in the Q&A section as I didn't think It would be in the General Section. Thanks for finding the existing thread. Hopefully there'll be an update fix for this soon.
I'm pretty sure that before OneUI 3, I could kick off split screen by simply long pressing the recents button.
Now I have to go through this crazy dance of recents -> long press on icon -> tap some finicky little menu entry.
I half remember that Good Luck used to 'fix' this problem but now I cannot see a way to revert to the much simpler behaviour. Does any one have any info on this, please?
Thanks!

Been playing around with this. Not sure if I like it yet, but could have possibilities. Thanks for the tip!!
