please advice of how to setup the scroll bar to the left side, while you are in the "start-programs" or "start-settings" windows screen, or better yet to make the windows scroll bar permanent to the left. it would be nice ....
thanks in advance.
Do a search. This has been asked before, and as far as im aware there was no solution available. I too would like this, as would any left-handed person.
There is indeed no solution to this.

If it's a single row of dots across the top, aren't they the Battery meter that's part of SBP Pocket Plus?
dots
Don't know,I have those dots too and had them before installing SPB.
That's the task battery indicator.. It tells you how much battery you still have. If you don't want it, just tap and hold the upper right part, press "options", and uncheck the "task battery indicator"..
By the way just incase you still don't know this.. If ever you're running WM2003SE you might want to tap and hold the upper right part, press on the "close button", click on the "feature options", click on the "Exceptions", click "add", select "browse", then go to windows and search on the "tmail.exe" then select it. This will disable the double sending of SMS to your recipient.
cheers :lol:

Hi rollyblu,
It was exactly like you said, i unchecked the task battery indicator and gone was the "problem".
However i do not seem to have the problem with doublesended SMS messages.
Thanks alot people for all the quick answers
from reading around in the forum and some other forums. I see that alot are using SPB pocket plus. however i also read that this app cannot (well not yet atleast) display storage card memory anyway so i wrote spb and they say they are working on it and that this may be solved in the next release.
my question is this. can you make a shortcut for BT on SPB pocketplus today plug-in? you see my BT icon is missing from the bottom. I use omegaone battpack pro and added a BT icon as a shortcut. however I would like to switch to spb pocket plus because it has tabs, and it has more features (internet explorer stuff, and it is skinnable)!!! I just don't know how to make a custom link to bluetooth? can anyone help me with this? thanks in advance
Does anyone know if there's a setting to change the scroll bar from right to left in IE? I looked around but no joy. Thanks lads.
Other than using the unit upside down, I dont think this is possible! I am assuming that you are left handed ?
Nigel
It would be a nice option, not just for Universal, but for Win Mobile in general. I am left-handed, and the vertical scrolling is a PITA. I can not see where I am scrollling to because my left hand is covering the screen, and sometimes even accidentally touching it & activating links.
Same problem here Bill. Anyway, maybe someday Microsoft will make something for us the left handed ones. And thanks for the great tip veletron. lol (I can actually do more or less the same things with both hands but fot this I rather use the left.)
Couldn't you use the scroll buttons instead?
I'm working on something that could be hacked into assisting this, but it'd be a bit of a cludge.
If there's a need shout out and I'll see if I can get around to it.

I' m a lefty too, and would appreciate any help in the downfall of leftism

I have tried using the scroll buttons, but they don't really scroll, rather they jump from link to link (in PIE) which resulsts in very jerky screen movements, and that is not very useful for me.
Then I tried a registry hack mentioned on another forum to make the button do real screen scrolling, but when I tried to use it, the device froze, and sent me to Hard Reset H*ll.
Ideal for me would be in PIE would be scroll bars on the left and buttons that really scrolled. Actually scroll bars on the left would be nice in every application.
It is not a necesity for me, but the bar on the right is an inconvenience --mainly in PIE.
Lefty here as well dude. Would be great to have a less discriminatory device :lol:
The worst thing is, that when you use the scroll bar with your left hand, you can't really see when to stop since your hand is covering most of the screen.
All leftys out there unite !!!

nuther lefty beggin' for help...
the HD2 has done something strange with programs that use dropdown menus - it has replaced them with a bar.
this is fine for some apps where you can use the slider at the side of the screen in order to scroll, but where there is a small box which just drops down a short list of data for you to choose from, the bar replaces the box, stops the list dropping down and thereby disables you from using the dropdown menu.
is there any way to stop it behaving in this way and reverting to the old form of dropdown menus?
thanks

I think I know what you mean. Can you give an example of where this happens?
"a picture paints a thousand words" but unfortunately I don't have a camara with me so can't take a picture to upload (at the moment).
An example is a program which give a list of dates in a dropdown menu - on my HD, that is fine, tap the box, the list of dates drops down, and I can select one. On the HD2, however, no dates drop down, but a bar appears inside the box, it's the sort of bar that appears at the side of screen when you use your finger to grab the side-bar and slide down a long window quickly.
That's the best description I can give in words. I was talking to someone who couldn't use the HD2 as it prevented him from using one particular app which used dropdowns extensively to enable selection of items from dropdown lists.
Hope that helps - can't find anything on it in the tips and tweaks, and searching generally reveals nothing at all.
Can't believe I am the only person with this problem/issue.

Again, I think I know what you mean.
Did you know you can scroll by moving the items in the dropdown up and down? You don't have to use the scrollbar. Obviously, if the dropdown is too narrow that won't work as you'll open the scollbar when you try to grab an item.
The alternative is to try a different theme. That might sound daft, but there was a thread a while back discussing how to get the popout scrollbar working and it turned out that it doesn't work on most of the themes. (I believe it only works on the HTC Black one).
Maybe that would help?
I think you do know what I mean!
As you rightly say, when I tap the scrollbar that has appeared inside the dropdown box, that opens up the entire list in a different screen, and so for this program at least, that is the workaround. Whether that works for all other programs that use dropdowns is another question of course.
I am using HTC Black - which I prefer as a theme, I try some others when work subsides and see if that helps.
thanks for quick posting.

No worries mate - good luck!
At the home menu, the bottom bar and start bar are still in place however the rest has risen slightly. I can see my start menu wall paper at the bottom and my carrier name is now touching the bottom part of the start bar.
Any help, thanks in advance.
im sure ive seen a post like this on here somewhere, from what i can remember it was some app that caused it, have you installed anything recently?

Thanks very much, it was showcase. I just had to uninstall and do a soft reset. Thanks very much
glad you got it sorted
I've done a search in both the Leo forums as well as xda in general and can't see a solution for my problem:
I am unable to scroll within excel mobile. Whenever I drag my finger across the screen it selects cells rather than scrolling. This isn't a problem if I wish to move up and down as the vertical scroll bar is visible and can be used. However, the horizontal scroll bar doesn't display even though it is selected in the menu.
Can anyone suggest what I can do to fix this? Thanks in advance.
bump
can anyone help?
When you open Excel, click on the right side of the screen (= scroll bar) and the scroll-button will appear. Use that to scroll up and down. The same goes for the horizontal scroll bar (well, it's on the bottom of the Excel screen and you scroll from left to right ;-)). Should be there, otherwise I wouldn't know.
Thanks for the reply but unfortunately the horizontal scroll bar isn't visible on the screen, even though when I go into view -> show the horizontal scroll bar checkbox is ticked.
The vertical scroll bar also works like a "normal" scroll bar in that the scrolling part is always the same size; it doesn't increase in size when the scroll bar is tapped on. However, I seem to remember that's how it used to work when I first got the phone, so perhaps in all the various tweaks and things I've done since I've unwittingly edited something that is affecting it?!
Oh well.
You're not in full screen mode are you?
And have you tried opening a new document?
No not in full screen mode, and I have opened various different (existing) spreadsheets, and tried creating a new one and the same thing happens in all of them.
I've solved the problem. A little look into HD2Tweak and I spotted an option for horizontal scroll bar which was set to none. I changed it to normal and a quick soft reset later and I was able to see the horizontal scroll bar again; not just in Excel but other apps too.
I don't remember switching it to none, but am just glad it's working again now!
