How do i change the delay time for popup context menus? i.e. when i want to select text from an email i am looking at i press and hold the screen for what seems like forever before the menu appears.
I would like to know this too
I was very interested too.
Thanks, Franky

As much as I hate bump-chain-reactions, this is one thing not even google could help finding... actually it's just full of people asking for this bit of info, yet noone gets an answer

Hello everyone,
I've discovered quite useful thing about contacts manager, but unfortunately don't know how to turn it on or off, it starts, let's say randomly.
Sometimes when (on today screen) i press right softkey which is by default assigned to 'contacts' and i get a list of names, i see something like a pop-up window with letter 'A' and by using the jogdial on the left side of the TyTN i can switch between the first letters of the names in contacts. Then i can select exact name without scrolling through all of the contacts in between A and f.e. G.
Unfortunately i don't know what is the cause of starting this feature, people at HTC support don't know nothing about it, and told me that it must be some kind of software glitch however I find it very useful, maybe someone else got the same thing? And someone does know how can it be turned on that it happens every time i want to find a contact? that would really be operating with one hand then
thanks in advance for opinions and advices
If it's what I think you mean, go to contacts.
For example, hold down down (on the dpad). It'll start scrolling the list for approx 5 seconds. After that, the large letter A will show up. Use the dpad to select appropriate contact start.
Otherwise use the sip to start typing your contact.

It works on all variants of the Tytn, you just go to contacts, press and hold down on the d pad and in a couple of seconds the 'pop up window' appears with a large letter, it just makes it easier to scroll through the contacts without having to get the stylus out.
Thanks guys !!
That's the 'pop-up' that I meant. Pressing and holding d-pad works. However I occasionaly get it when using jog-dial. In my opinion that would be even better for operating TyTN with one hand. Any clues on this one?
Hi guys, new to the forum, thought i'd start off slowly haha.
This is an extremely simple question, but i had no idea where else to ask. I've been trying to select things on my Blackstone but cannot select anything without also opening it. For instance, i want to select an old note in order to delete it. The only thing i can think of is tapping it and this obviously opens it. Same thing for old or duplicate messages in a text conversation. I can select messages but only if i tap the contact, then press back to return the conversation. Its then highlighted blue and i can delete it. Any ideas on how to do this? Its simple but infuriating!

Tap AND Hold the stylus down until a menu pops up - most applications will respond differently to tap and hold.
I also learnt this early on and it surprised my at first !
Thanks alot that works for getting rid of notes
Can't seem to select individual messages in conversation view still. Weird!
sometime tap and slide or hold as suggested. holding movies and photos for a second selects them
Is there an app like this for Android - CDMA Hero?

Wow, I haven't seen that screen in awhile. And to be honest, I never used it when it was on my old vogue. It seems like a good shortcut in theory, but it actually used more button presses to get things done.
Perfect example was for sending a text...
Open Action menu
Hit the Send new sms button,
tap contact to bring up the contact list
find contact to send it to
then type message.
I always found it a whole lot faster to just open up my texts and hit reply. And with the home screen allowing any app you want right there, you can always tap the program itself to go directly into contacts/sms/calendar/etc (thereby completely eliminating the need for the action menu).
I know it's not the answer you're looking for, just my $.02
Anyone else get the problem where when you repy to a text you get numbers instead of letters, is there a fix for this yet?
If that happens I just hide the keyboard and then press the bit where it says 'Press here to type' or something like that. Takes a second to do and always seems to work for me when that happens
Didnt know you could do it that way, I tend to go into quick text or whatever its called then cancel back out and its ok after that.
Damned annoying though and surely something that would of been picked up in pre release testing?
I find that when trying to reply, it instructs you to tap screen to reply, but it takes several seconds and lost of tapping before it starts allowing me to type. Very annoying!
Using the People tab in Sense is great for adding quick links for people, but I'm finding it very annoying that (unless I'm doing it wrong - far from impossible!) you can add people for instance EITHER as call OR text etc so it automatically does that action the moment you press the contact in question.
That's a pain in the arse because I want to have shortcuts there for people so I can just press it and get the option of texting/calling/emailing them etc, not being limited to one automatic means of contacting them.
I hope that makes sense, and apologies if I'm just not using it correctly but if I am, I can't suss how to do this!
Thanks!
I agree, and gladly there is a solution
When you select a person to add, it comes up with "view contact card" "mobile number", "message" etc.. Just select "view contact card".
Then when you click that person, you get a list of contact options.
Alternatively, if you DO want to have it call or message a particular person (someone you only ever text, for example), then you can set it to do that when you click the picture, or just click their name (below the picture), and it opens the contact card.

what you need to do is click on the name underneath the pic on the grey area, then you get the option to call/text/email.
Thanks guys - glad I put the old stupidity disclaimer in there. Duh!!
I'll look harder at the options next time, honest!
