hopefully start a list of useful shortcut for samsung galaxy s.
1. Reboot: press and hold power button for 6 seconds
2. Adjust brightness: tab status bar on top of the screen but don't drag down. Then slide left and right to adjust brightness. Note automatic brightness must be off.
3. Task bar: Press and hold home screen button
4. Phone search: press and hold menu button
5. Arrow key on swype: swype across the (i swype key) and (sym) key to bring up the editing key board
6. Arrow key on normal keypad: press and hold (123) key
.
.
Anyone can help add more to the list ?

I am looking for "run command" in my K-jam that I have installed from one the topics here before hard reset. Anybody remember how?
Thnx
on the today screen hold down the "action" button (middle of d-pad) and tab and hold the clock - if you have the new roms then tap and hold the battery icon (basicly tap and hold the area to the left of where the close button usually is)
hope this helps.

1st one solves the problem tnx.
Is there possible to assign volume control buttons as up/down scrolling?
There can be options
- better is if on home screen they works as volume control, for applications as scrolling
- always scrolling
- scrolling only in certain applications
?
Also, is there possible device tilt for scrolling?
maybe you check "AE Button Plus". a lot of discusiion around here
Is is possible?
Yes it is possible - I use it.
I have set it up do do exactly as you as you ask where a "short press" of the up/down volume buttons will scroll up and down and a "long press" will change the volume as normal.
You can download it here http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php
Thank you!
AE Button Plus is good application and it works, but it's not free.
Now I try HButton 2.3

Question guys,
How do I map the call button to long press (like the smallest long press ever) to get the Start menu?
Thanks

The unregistered function is almost fully functioning.
I recommend it.
I bought the app as I use it all the time and thought it fair to the developer even though I don't actually use the additional functions in the reg version.

You should be able to map long press send, long press end and long press power. It should work like the Fuze. Check out this articles but I bet it's identical:

Here's one on making it the start menu: http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=1249
The mapped long press buttons take 3 seconds or so...not sure it's great for that unless you try DredSensor but then you'd lose a physical button (short press) to something else...
Is the long press timeout option in the settings the time one has to "long press" in order to trigger what he sets? Coz you can set it from 200ms to 900ms. I am guessing this is the time required to trigger a long-press response/activation.
I would suggest you send an email to the AEB developer. I did once and he responded in the same day.
He could probably guide you much (v. much) better than I on all the options in AEB+ (including "long-key press mode")
thanks Dave.
For a temporary fix,(or perhaps a preferred alternative?) I have set up volume to scroll up and long press (which is barely a second) to start menu (shows quick menu not original start menu) and volume down to scroll down and long press of it to ok/action. This way I can pull down the start menu with a little press, scroll up/down and then select an item or enter the submenu using the down button.
Accidentally found out that while in an app that has fields, pressing and holding the menu button brings up the keyboard - whether you are in a editable field or not.
For example, click Search button, and press Back to hide the keyboard. Now without pressing the address bar, press and hold the menu key - keyboard pops up.
This has been present in froyo too
oops!

This is present in every android phone that does not feature a hardware keyboard.

how can I replace with different short cut in the very bottom of the screen where phone key, application key.
press application, then press the menu key (cant remember what it should be called, but the button left of the home key), then tap edit. drag and drop your apps, you can also remove apps from the bar if you dont need 4 shortcuts.
Thanks for the help

screen swipe gesture is too difficult for me.

Weird, it works on mine with android 11. Vol down +power button for less then a second.
Open the app and open the menu on the left-hand side and navigate to settings. Toggle “Show Hidden Files” so it is on. Go back to the main menu and you can now either search for, or navigate to, the . nomedia file and rename or delete it.
