So if I view all my pictures through the HTC Album and not Windows I can pull up thumbnails of my videos and watch them through the HTC Video whatever...
I was wondering if there was a way to use the wheel to fast forward or rewind. Like scroll your thumb clockwise to fast forward and counter-clockwise to rewind. Seems like right now I can only click on the D-Pad and skip ahead in chunks.

is the any way to make the scrolling smoother instead of the jumps you normally get with the D-pad, for an example, in a browser?
As it is now, when in a browser and if I were to press right on the D-pad, it jumps too far and I can't see the text. in the frustration, i'd have to pull out the sylus and us the drag method.
is there a solution?
I was v excited about this phone having a wheel, but its not all that great. Do you all find it useful, and in what ways?
Is there a way to change the scroll wheen so it smoothly screen down the screen in opera for instance? At the moment scolling takes so long that I: find it better to use the stylus on teh scroll bar and drag the window down.
I think the wheel is absolutely great!
However, you should be aware that the wheel is only "connected" to the up and down buttons. It's up to the software to make it usefull...
I also find it very handy. Wheel (up-down and press) and OK button right above it gives perfect control while reading, serfing Internet and even reading e-mails, etc. Several days and you'll be wondering how you've managed to live without it.
The scroll wheel and the left OK button together make a wonderful one-handed pair for navigating the Today Screen.
On the Today Screen, pressing the OK button opens the Start Menu, and then you can navigate/select using the wheel.
Fantastic!
is it possible to navigate, for example contact, in HTC Touch Pro by scrolling the D-Pad?
so it would function like iPod's scroll wheel...
is there any program to do that?
Did you know.......there is a touch sceen?

yeah..
i know..
i just like to know whether it is possible or not..
hahhas.
is it just me, or is the iPod scroll wheel scroll is counter productive?
why scroll and stress your thumb doing a circular motion if you can just press and hold (up or down on a long list)? or tap once, twice or trice (for short ones)?
it's not as revolutionary and "re-inventing the wheel" as crApple wants you to believe, you know..
just another eye-catching gimic promoting devolution..
3D scroll - works in a few places - among others in the browser where You can zoom in and out - as much/less as you want. It works MUCH better than double tapping etc.
I which HTC would have implemented the scroll function in all their applications, because it is much easier to control how much to scroll.
I'm use to the wheel on SE M600 & Pxx - and this navigation is a lot quicker and more precise than tapping&touching - however does not look so cool in the bar

i'm talking about using the four way directional/navigational button below the display..
it's better to press/tap (and/or hold) the buttons instead of doing circular motions when going through lists..
the zooming function (using the touch sensitive navigation buttons) implemented by HTC really is precise and functional because it makes the process smooth (rather than step zooming) and it also gives the directions dual purpose (press to pan, rotate scroll to zoom).. but would you still prefer using it on very very long lists (say 200 contatct entries or songs on a playlist)?
let's disregard the touchscreen for a moment..
if one complete revolution scrolls you to about 10 entries, then it'll take you atleast 15 revolutions and approximately 15 seconds (one thumb revolution/sec) to reach the 150th entry..
then compare it to a single press of the down button and holding it down for, say, 10 seconds (depending on your key repitition and acceleration settings) to reach the 150th entry. then give or take 5 entry adjustment for precision.
which of the 2 do you think gets you there faster with a less sore thumb/wrist/ligament?
maybe that's why they didn't implement it thruout the system (to navigate lists).. because it is still better (and less stressful) to press than rotate your thumb when going up or down lists..
i find the scroll wheel usefull in some apps, and thankfull a list of applications that it can be made to work in and the appropriate registry entriles are detailed in this thread.

Its mains for the diamond but the pro is not so different.
I second that, scroll wheel is MUCH more precise. Sometimes it is really faster and more useful, especially when I just have one hand for operating my PPC (ie. audiomanager).
And btw, click&hold down is much more ardous than scrolling with the wheel (for me at least).

I flick, it scrolls, when I've reached the desired item, I tap!
there is a little app called "ppod" and it's just a music player that looks like an ipod, you scroll using the touchscreen in the circular motion that you would with an ipod.
I just ordered an X1a, but what I would really love to see is the option to use the TouchPad to zoom. On my HTC Touch Cruise, I have a jog dial that works to zoom when I am in Opera, HTC Picture Viewer, and RSS. Yes, there are other ways to zoom, but they aren't as fast, slick, or precise as would be a flick on the touch pad. Also, I love being able to zoom in on mobile webpages, where Opera doesn't display the on screen zoom button.
The Touch Pro and Diamond, also have this functionality, furthermore, the new TP2 and D2 have the zoom bar. Since these devices have such small screens, having an easy way to zoom is crucial imo.
Has anyone tinkered with this idea? Or would anyone know where to start to get this working?
Volume buttons working as zoom in and out in Opera Browser
Thanks for the reply! That actually does help. But it would still be sooo much nicer to have a zoom control that provides a smooth gradient, as opposed to a strict increments that pushing the volume button would give.

Thanks i didnt know this.
u can also double tap the d-pad sensor area
yes it would be a nice feature if there was an option to do so with the touchpad. i dont like the big incremental steps when zooming by double tapping the screen. the volume button is ok but i believe it only works in opera.
for casual scrolling the track ball in great. but sometimes there is a long list. is there a fast way to scroll down or a button to page down?

Usually 3 quick swipes of the track ball will start auto-scrolling
