Hi, i used to be able to zoom in opera using the volume key. This was handy on forum pages for zooming in extra to select page numbers after double tapping. Somehow now that doesn't work. Anyone know how to reenable it?
Culprit found.
itje's Touch Blackstone keyboard (which is a great keyboard replacement) breaks the zoom function of the volume keys in opera. The zoom is broken only in portrait mode. In landscape mode it strangely still works.

I'm interested in using the shift as an ebook reader on the windows mobile side so which buttons can be used for up and down in windows mobile are of particular interest to me. The mouse left and right click buttons look like a particularly good possibility for this.
Can anyone let me know which buttons can be programed on the shift in windows mobile?
I know the touch screen can be used but if anyone has used a mobile device for ebook reading before the will know a button or scroll wheel is best for turning pages
Cheers, lovespuds
A far as I can tell none of the buttons work on WM side. Only the mode button to switch between WM and vista works on the WM side.
I am using the shift as ebook reader as well. I installed the Mobipocket reader and I am using edge of the screen to turn pages or the keyboard. When I read on the shift I turn screen so it rotated 90 degrees. Then I slide the keyboard out to only expose the first row keys when I want to turn the pages. The 3 arrow keys on the very bottom row of the keyboard work well for this. Even when using just one hand I can hold the device and still the slide the screen open/close and turn page with the same hand. It is not a nice as the joystick on my HTC X7501 but it works well enough.
Hi I am using Microsoft Reader for my Ebooks and do it the same way.
Rotate the screen and slide out the keyboar for the first row.
It would be great if we could get WM to recognise other keys, but that is something for the "The Shift Project" team when they accomplished all the other more urgent things
Meanwhile I am content with using the arrowkeys.

I just know that there is an OK button at the Right ALT works fine on WM side.
Press it to close the WM programs.
Besides, on the Left ALT, it is the Sym button, it shows the symbol Pad for you to input symbols on typing.
For reading ebooks, I think the most useful tool for scrolling up & down the page is your finger since the big screen is easy for scrolling by your fingers
THREE MORE BUTTON I FOUND:
PRESS FN + I, O, P can adjust the volume in snapvue!
The other day i was just watching some reviews and videos of nokia 5800 and in one video i saw the functionality of the phone...a guy was writing a SMS and there he showed that he can manually enter into landscape mode and portrait mode as per need to write the message
So i just wondered that if same kind of manual rotation of screen via some menu or some bind key can be done in HTC Diamond.
I know there are anuto rotation apps like gyrator and gsen but with there own limitations also i guess not everyone wants to rotate the screen every now and then automatically
I request someone to please take interest and come up with ideas

hi, have a look at start/ personal buttons and 2.assign program, scroll here and see if you have the option to rotate screen, if not i think you can add the option via diamond tf3d config or last option is via a manual registry edit by going to HKLM/system/ gdi/ rotation. hideoreientationgui change value from 1 to 0. this means that manual screen rotation can be performed by pressing and holding the call button on all apps apart from tf3d .
I have tried Gyrater2 and have yet to figure out how to configure it or find a decent faq for it despite clicking all over his page. I second the motion. I want my screen to rotate where it already does with the OEM setup AND whenever I open the full querty and nowhere else.
install "AE Button Plus" so can you assaign for exampel if you hold long "volume down" so screen can rotate clockwise or just rotate. works nice for me
Hi,
I would like to assign the long press on "Call button" to the Rotate screen option but I would like the landscape to be reverse (to the right) as I am right-handed and I would like the earphones plug to be the opposite way.
1) I created a shortcut with SKtools for a rotation of 270°.
--> the problem is that I needed another shortcut to put it back to portrait mode.
2) I then tried to use the SPB PocketPlus button mapping to "Rotate screen" which works really good as the same shortcut can toggle between portrait and landscape but only rotate screen to default landscape.
I look for a registry edit (maybe in HKLM/system/GDI/Rotation...) or other trick to change the default landscape to reverse landscape so that I can keep the Pocket+ button mapping
I know that AEBPlus is able to do that but I would like to save some RAM and also some money (AEBPlus is shareware)
Thank you for your help.
Try to use "Gyrator 2"... Work perfect on Touch HD. I supose that is fix your problem with screen orientation.

EDIT : rotate manually
Thank you for your advice.
I tried Gyrator2 (which is a really good software). I also tried MagicMobile and ChangeScreen applications but none of them enable me to rotate manually by pressing/holding a button (the call button for example).
My problem with the automatic rotation apps is when I want to answer a phone call (with the phone in my pocket) with the slide to answer of TF3D, the screen rotation mess up with my action...
It makes it difficult for me to answer as the slide area changes place...
The only reason I want to rotate my screen is in the "Programs Explorer" before launching iGO for it to be in landscape mode...
I liked that Tomtom could handle the rotation once the program is on.
It seems that with iGO, we have to rotate before launching the software or it will stay in portrait mode.
AEB+ will do this in its "free" non-registered mode.
I have it on the OK/back button with rotate 90 and then toggle back. It has a full range of rotate angles.
Try it - it is shareware but works almost 100% in "free" mode.
You are right. AEB+ solves my problem (and is a great aplication even the "free" part)
Thank you Cheesy Dave !
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.
So I found it really annoying when watching Netflix and accidentally hitting back or recent apps softkeys. Which pauses or exits out of movie everytime I do. Because of placement of soft keys (Navigation buttons) on Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4. (Which is where I hold the tab in landscape)
So I found a way to disable back/ recent apps and Home buttons. Temporarily
Settings /Device /Accessibility
Scroll to very bottom
Enable interaction control
Use volume down and home at same time to enable
Uncheck all checkboxes
Now soft keys (Navigation buttons) and home are disabled.
Usefully when watching a movie and holding with your hand on softkeys.
(Have to disable multi window to enable this feature)
If helped, thanks would be appreciated.

I tried to do this on the demo units in Best Buy but I couldn't get it to work. Could it be the demo software they had on it?

Possibly idk? Works on mine. Sometimes tablets/ TV have a retail firmware on them which isn't the same as what you take home. So could be possible
This worked for me.

Home key had to be disabled in both of the below locations. This completely disables the hardware keys so make sure to enable the on screen keys first.
Note: The onscreen keys don't show up in landscape mode for some reason so I use LMT launcher for the few times I need navigation keys in landscape.

Does anyone know how to disable the back light on the capacitive keys? I've been able to disable the buttons from functioning and I've got LMT launcher installed but I'd really like to stop them from lighting up if possible.
The only thing that stops me from buying the tab pro 8.4 at the moment are the hardware keys. I am used to on screen buttons and as I can see in some review-videos and as some of you already mentioned, if you hold the tablet in landscape you could accidentally come in touch with the capacitive keys or the home button. Therefore I am very interested in how you can handle the tab pro 8.4 with hardware-keys disabled and on screen keys enabled. Can anyone share some screenshots how it looks like?

So at the moment there is no way to have googles on screen buttons in landscape mode?
I use xposed additions to remap buttons from single click to long press on my son's 8.4 since he kept accidentally hitting buttons and getting frustrated. Not exactly what you are looking for but it has helped us here. Take a look at button Savior on the play store as well. You could use xposed additions to disable buttons and then use button Savior buttons.
