Hello,
When I open Library from MUSIC WMP in HTC HD2 I see a list of songs. On the left side there is a vertical scroll-bar. Well.. it doesn't respond to slide/press events. It is visible but doesn't work for me. I must add that this vertical scroll bar - works fine in File Explorer, but not in WMP Library.
Does anyone have the same problem ?
I wrote to HTC Support and they suggested to do a HARD-Reset, but I doubt that it will help, because I've changed my ROM from 1.43 to 1.48 and this problem still persists.

Hey guys.. are you just lazy or what?
It will take you 5 seconds to check and answer...
I've had a look at the Library in WMP and can't find any scroll bar on the Left hand side, on my device its on the right. It also works perfectly for me.
Even if the scroll bar doesn't work however, you can still scroll through a list by sweeping your finger up or down on the middle of the screen to scroll.
It's unusual a software problem would translate from one ROM to another unless its language specific? Are you using WWE or one of the other language roms? If it isn't software, it could be hardware. Does that left part of your screen work OK with other apps in general? If not the sensors on the screen would be faulty and you could get a replacement.

RE: that post ^. You really need to be patient, people generally won't help people who demand an answer, we don't work for HTC here

Hi, thanks for your answer.
Yeah I'm demanding because other people might be interested in this too, I don't know maybe it's not only my problem.
The Fact is: Scroll bar works in File Explorer and every other application.
In MUSIC Library it doesn't work, but it's visible and when I'm sweeping list by fingers that scroll also moves, but it doesn't respond to finger press/slide or etc. It doesn't work only in my Music Library. Oh my mistake it's on the Right side, yes. Does it work for you in Music Library ?

Now imagine that I have more then 1000 songs in my library... How many times will I sweep by finger in the middle of the screen ? Not convenient. And also I think if it's visible - then it should work. I can't relax if something is not working in my device

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 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 !!!

I just bought a Touch phone and I like it very much. Before this I had a Prophet and I was afraid I would miss the extra hardware buttons the Prophet has.
The only button I really do miss is the "close" or "ok" button to close aplications.
I think it would be great if there could be a program made that uses a finger gesture on screen to close apps instead of poking at the x with my big fingers.
Anyone ever seen such a thing?
Swipe to close
C'mon people, you know what I mean...
just like closing the cube by a downward swipe it should be possible to close an aplication by somekind of swiping motion across the screen shouldn't it?
Think about it...
Instead of "slide to unlock" we can call it "swipe to close"
I close apps just using the phone red button!
Bye

Yes, thats possible too, but that closes everything that is open. I would like to close only one window at a time.
example:
Lets say you are in windows media player library and would like to close it and return to windows mediaplayer itself by closing the library. If I would push the red button it closes everything including the player and return to the home screen instead of the player.
"Swipe to close" should work exactly like the "x"
It would be really cool/useful to do that.
Even though It sounds easy, it is quite difficult to program this thing ( not impossible though).
Years back there was already a phone called NeoNode1 that had the swiping thing figured out. It was also windows based so maybe this can be used as a startingpoint.
www.neonode.com
With TouchFLO the problem will always be with apps that have scrolling windows. How should the downward motion be interpreted ?
Close app or scroll up ?
ZapIt
If you are not too particular abt the swipe gesture, use ZapIt ( attached)and map it to the camera button. It closes only the active application at a time.Works beautifully on my touch.
If you encounter an invalid certificate problem, download Enable_Rapi.zip from Pof's thread about CID Unlock and follow the instructions. (The sticky on the Elf Upgrading section)
Yeah, but than we would need to build a swipe to operate the camera.
I would like to swipe and close without losing other functionality. The swiping motion can be anythin from making a diagonal swipe to circles or anything inbetween.
If this can be cracked there might be much more functions that can be operated in this type of manor.
Unfortunately I don't know much about building such a thing so if there is a hardcore techie out there that wants to take the challange, be my guest!!!

That's not true.... you'll only have to make the camera start from today screen. You can still make a picture with the button afterwards. Just try it (don't forget enable_rapi)!
@veeru27: Thanks for the cab! It works great!
try search for "finger launcher"... something i posted awhile back in the general elf forum

vippie,
You're welcome.
Actually, how many of you do actually use the cube? If not many, it would be nice to have to have the slide up and down motion that launches and ends the cube, to be used to end applications instead.. just a thought...
Search for FtouchFlo to configure Swiping commands.

Ok.. so i wont bore you with my mock review until the end, so that I can get some questions out first : (Im coming from a Wizard)
1) In the wizard, I was able to click on telephone numbers in MOST applications and dial straight from there. Specifically the web browser. I would search for the name of a place, the first link in google would have the address and number, I would click on the number and be dialing. Im guessing this was a PIE thing, but wanted to see what the deal was
2) The most annoying thing so far, is my inability to highlight multiple items. In my Wizard, I was able to go to the email screen and if there were 8 messages there, I could press firmly into the first message, slide my finger down to the last message and click delete. I am not able to highlight multiple items, and ive tried different pressure settings etc. Help.
3) Similar to 2.... I am unable to highlight text, atleast with my finger, for coy paste purposes
4) I am not able to get the setting where face down will mute the ringer. Ive tried Diamond Tweak, manual registery editing, nothing. Face down... the phone will ring everytime
5) When someone sends me a youtube link in an email and I click on it, it takes me to the youtube page (im on edge so, slowly) but cant get the youtube video to play. It loads the page, except the video window
6) What is the ideal screen sensitivity and pressure settings in the registry. Its the one thing that im a bit surpsied by, I know it is not a capacitive screen, but it takes some getting used to how much pressure it requires compared to an iPhone screen for example
I will write about my impressions after two more days to give myself ample time to get used to it so there is no wizard bias... :0

This is something I'd be particularly interested in .
Even though I use currently a phone with a capacitive screen I own a Wizard too. How would you say is the difference to the Wizard respectively how would you rate the sensitivity generally?
I'm answering to what I know...

In the message screen go to "Menu->Select->Some" then you will be able to select a group of items.
3) Similar to 2.... I am unable to highlight text, atleast with my finger, for coy paste purposes
This works for me!

This is due to lack of flsh support in Opera 9.5. You can play flash videos within CorePlayer.

I had an iPhone, gave it to my wife... the iphone screen is awesome, from day one, responsiveness, finger touch etc etc. The Wizard screen was ok, the feel wasnt there, but then again it wasnt big and i wasnt doing much with my finger anyway. Compared to the Wizard, the Touch HD is better, but since you are doing so much more on the screen and with your finger, it isnt as good as it needs to be. Twice the pressure is needed from the iphone, it doesnt "feel" good under my finger, feels like i have to fight against it to scroll the TF3D scroll thing (again comparing a resisitve screen to a capacitive one). Touch wise, it is excellent, I dont have to force buttons or anything. Im mainly complaining about gestures and TF3D. Overall finger friendliness, if the iphone is an 8, then the touch HD is a 6 and the wizard is a 4.
For 4: It can be done, I've been lurking around here for days now and I recall seeing an app that covers this exact thing - I *think* it's either SKTools or the Advanced Customisation Tool - I'm about to load up on or the other shortly, so if I find out I'll be back and let oyu know (if you haven't found it already in the meantime of course!)
6 : again I've seen some mention of registry setting alteerations to adjust this - but for me, I've used the same method as I did on my diamond and my screen is VERY sensitive - enough for me anyway.
Go and fire up the screen alignment process again - this time when doing it use the stylus and hover over the cross hair then very lightly rest it on the cross hair center - applying a tiny amount more pressure until it moves (it moves with a v. small amount of pressure) - seems to set pressure from this process to some extent. Whether or not this REALLY works, or it's utter placebo I truly dont know - but mine's totally fine and that's all I did Worth a shot I guess
The TouchFLO interface might mean that finger pressure always translates as scrolling, but if you want to select anything then you have to use a fingernail or the stylus. This is how it works on my Touch (Elf) - to scroll the screen I have to use the pad of my finger. If I use a more pointed pressure then I'm selecting stuff. I quite like this system - it differentiates between sweeping gestures and detailed touches.
Try using the stylus or a fingernail to select text or multiple emails. It might work.
(If it doesn't then I'll be annoyed too!)

Yeah, I tried it all Schaps advanced config, Diamond tweak, Registery edits (havent tried SKtools yet) The option is there, in DIamond Tweak and in the registry. Jsut doesnt do anything...

I too would like to know if Opera can do what the OP wants in question 1?? That is one thing I love about my Iphone as it doesn't have a cut and paste but I can just click on the number in safari.
Can Opera do this? I was also looking at Skyfire today and was wondering if it did this and also when/if it will be available soon in the UK?
The select several option for email works.. so one problem down. Also ive realized that the screen sensitivity is just something I will have to get used to.
I have installed Flash Lite 3.1 for you tube and it seems to be working fine.
More updates as I have em. Anyone know why number links arent clickable in the browser?
Good thread, clears some things up.
I wonder how the pressure thing is.
How does it compare to an Elf (my current/old device) for example?
My HD should be in the mail tomorrow, but you never know with TNT mail.
I think its one of those things... you jsut need to get used to it...
I dont know if anyone has tried or thought about it.....But what if the TF3d scroll bar went Vertical on the side of the screen? Almost like widgets on Samsung Omnia, but tf3d, since it looks and works a lot better. Anyone else think this would be cool.....B/c u could also see more tabs at once if it went Vertical
that would be cool never thought of that! I don't have capabilities to do that but i bet someone does. I also think though i would might have to be seperate app not tf3d because its so different, but you never know

I must say thats a killer idea!
I just wanted to show that it is possible...
Don't have time to do it proper right now...
Maybe I have some time to play with it tonight..
But if the vertical menu should be on the right side,
I have to move all buttons in tab's that are placed on the right side of the screen...
(mail, camera, music, People...)
I think It will be easier to make the menu on the left side...?
This menu is working!
yeah dudes, that will be veeery cool!

Great Idea
Great idea!
how far is this idea? i'd like to see this on the left side of my diamond
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
rjstep3
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.
rjstep3
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.
