Hmmm... I just saw the idea of "multitouch" and played a bit with it.
So I made a program that shall show how a picture viewer could work...
Usage:
Put your stylus on the position you want the upper left corner of the rectangle to be. Don't move it. Then put another stylus (or pencil) on the place you want the lower right corner to be. You can now move the lower right corner. But don't move the first stylus, else it won't work...
This is only an example. No useful program
Net CF 3.5 required (maybe 2.0 works, too? )

Wow...Wonderful !! and so ....why not making something like on the iphone with this multitouch ? ^^
this is great
A pictureviewer like this is possible, but you can only move one finger and not - like with an iPhone - two fingers. So you place one finger and then stretch the picture with your other finger. So its not so intuitive. Another problem is that both fingers have to push with the same pressure, else its not exact. You might have seen this in my application.
pretty good ... i hope that we will have a lot of aplications with multitouch !

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...
As the subjects states, is there a registry edit that will move the scroll bar from the right hand side of the screen to the left? Being left handed, it is quite a pain to cover the screen with my hand when scrolling.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Bump - Anyone? Any ideas?
This is a possible deal breaker for me.
I think I just saw this feature in 8125. You could change the layout so that the scroll bar is on the left side and not right.
Check Display...
I've got two ideas - not exactly what you want, but hopefully better. One should work. One should be very very cool. But time frame is some way off - I'm working on one or two urgent things first. I apologise
But I'll be working on this once I clear my decks a little.
V
Thanks for your assistance. The 8125 does have a "Left Hand" mode, but only for Landscape. Since I use my 8125 90% of the time in portrait, it makes it very difficult for web browsing and scrolling email.
Thanks everyone for your help. I look forward to any ideas that you come up with (anything will be better)
General question: do you guys use your scrollbar with a stylus or thumb?
V
Thumb. Mostly because my stylus falls out if i put one in, so I just dont even bring one with me anymore.
Stylus
I ask because at some point I'm considering a third party solution to the problem, and I need to think about how big to make it graphically.
Evidently both thumb and stylus need to be considered.
V
Yeah, I gotta imagine there are alot of other Lefty's out there like myself that are running into the same issue. A 3rd party application sounds like it would be very useful.
Here's an idea, I wish I had the knowledge to create this. Have a 3d ball, diameter can be from far left to far right..........has multiple cubes/squares on the face........that will allow up-down motion as well as left-to-right. Whatever is closest to you is larger than the squares further back on the top and bottom of the ball. So if you go top to bottom, the ball looks like it's rolling toward you.........can somewhat remind you of the wheel on Price is Right. If you go left to right, it would spin toward the right and vice versa.
What programs/utilities would I need to try to do this myself?
What a about the inside of a cube instead? Much more screen realestate
I guess that would look nice too, maybe one that is transparent and can also go left-to-right and top-to-bottom.
Inspiration
There's already an implementation of that idea (inside of a sphere) for Windows XP--search google for SphereXP. Really neat app.
UltimateLaunch has side to side scrolling--maybe if you convince the programmer this is a good idea he might add up-down scrolling.
This is an replacement phone. Everything is perfect on it and it works great but I'm not sure if my trackball is working like my old phone. Please let me know if your trackball has the same sort of response or if there's something up with it... pretty sure it is but I really don't want to repair this phone if its not necessary.
1. It works great in most areas on the home screen no problem.. but that seems to be expected cause its really not requiring much precision.
2. Mostly on selecting text (in the browser because I can't find another app that lets me have a select text cursor) I notice that:
-It jumps around a lot when going in any direction other than horizontal or vertical when holding the phone in portrait view and landscape. Diagonal is always imprecise and jumpy.
-I normally have to sort of flick the track ball quickly.. IE move my thumb over it quickly.. to get the cursor to move.
-While it can also move it slightly slower it's not as good and I can't have my finger resting on the trackball (where its depressed a tiny bit but not enough to click it) and then move my finger around. It doesn't do anything (or much of anything).
If I do any of these moves outside of "select text" it seems to work just fine but the precision on the movement I can't tell because I can't see exactly where things are going.
I think I got lost in the froyo FRF83 thread madness when I posted. Anyone willing to try and help out? This just a terribly implemented trackball text selection? If it is I figured it would've been fixed by now.. update-1, froyo 50 and froyo 83 all have the same results in terms of behavior with text selection.
Guys need some help as you can see on the picture the stylus can't draw on the right screen side. On normal view. As you start on the top of the screen with a small pen size you can draw as you go down you go away from the edge of the display and it leaves a space not colored. I was on the shop I bought it the Note they have for the public has the same issue. Dunno if it is only those or all devices they offered a exchange of the device but I want again the 14 days money back guarantee. So if the issue sustains I could make my mind and replace the note or get money back.
here are some SS DONT use S memo to check it .

I dont really understand what you are trying to show us with those pics
But I can tell you when the charger is plugged in, the bottom right area of my screen (the area just below where the sms shortcut original sits) cannot detect touch. But if I unplug the charger everything becomes ok again so i didnt really bother.
Does the problem occur during charge?

it did after updating the phone to 2.3.6 but after some tries with finger i used the pen pen was working but not the finger so i did unpluged it restarted it and at end now i didn't have the problem at all
As for my problem
I pick a pic to edit with photo editor with the PEN on normal view not landscape view. I pick a small size pen when i go and try to color the right side with it, it leaves a small gap from the edge it can draw till the edge where the photo is. on top of the right side the GAP isnt there i can draw there but as i go down the gap comes and as i go down the gap comes.
added another photo and here is a link to DB so you can DL it and zoom in if u cant see the gap on this site !

The OP can't draw with his S-PEN at the right side because there's about 1mm as far I can see that it's not drawable.
Braxos from the attached screenshot above I can see the it just not drawable with the S-PEN but it shows everything else correctly, right? I mean you don't lose 1mm on everything in the right side, correct?

i found where the problem is with the calibration of the S pen or should i say with the bumbass of scripter who made the S PEN software. He didnt move the point of recognition from the S PEN but he moved the WHOLE Recognition area when you switch to Left- Right hand you can check it. When i switch to left hand i get a GAP of 2-3 MM from the left side.
As i said the Dumbass made not the pen to move lets say from 1,1 to 1.1,1.05 but insteed he MOVED the Axes X,Y on the Display position !!!!!!!!!! so i guess it is a Software problem even i am not 100% sure because at least on my phone the Right side has a ANGLE not straight aka parallel to the Edge of the phone !!!
I have a very strange problem with my pen. In all Remote Desktop programs and only in them if I touch the screen, it deletes everything.
