Sorry for the noob question, but moving from HTC to Vibrant, I am still learning things as I go.
Here is the question:
I have Launch pro and I really love it. The problem I am having is I can not move my short cuts between the diffrent screens.
Yes I did a search and could not find anything on this.
Could someone please give me a quick hand
Thanks in advance
Just go to the screen where you want the shortcut, open the app drawer, long press on the one you want and put it on the screen. No need to move them between screens, just place new ones.

you can move between screens you just have to move the icon as far over as you can then hold it there for a second and i should transition
Yea I tried to swipe it to the next screen really fast, did not work. I tried holding it there for about 10 seconds, did not move it.
So is it possibule that you have to delete the old one and create and new short cut if you want that short cut on a diffrent screen????
Don't seem right to me, that you would need to do that
Ok got it. Thanks guys for the help.
I had to use almost my finger nail to get it as far over as I could, man that was rough
Thanks again

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 ?

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 !!!

nuther lefty beggin' for help...
Does any one know how to stop the small on-screen edit button from appearing everytime you go to start a new sms/email etc. I had this over six months ago on my xperia and for the life in me i can not remember how to stop it, i have searched and searched for the answer, It is so annoying and gets in the way of some text. Many thanks.
mind posting a screen shot?
can't see anything on mine that could be what you describe.
Thanks for the reply, here's the screen shot, the edit box is at the top right of the text box. If i click on it a pop up box appears and gives me options like, cut, copy, paste etc.
Ahh i assumed you meant in HTC messaging, not the windows messaging, thats why i couldn't see it.
10 minutes later - OK, sorry, i cant seem to find how to start win messaging on the cooked rom i'm on, , , sorry.
Thanks anyway, think i'm gonna try a different rom, bit bored of this one now.
Hehe, ahh yea, thats usually my answer too
Okay so I just have a few general questions. I have searched around. Spent a lot of the past few days looking around. But just some general questions.
1) Is there anyway to make the start menu anything sort of organized? I just don't know what to do with that thing. It's getting very full, lol.
2) I have read plenty of stuff on different keyboards. I know there's the swype keyboard and a few others I guess.
a) But is there anyone who's made a keyboard, or anything, to just have the regular keyboard without the arrows, lol?
b) Is there any better way to get to specific parts of text without the arrows? Like the iPhone Magnifying glass or something?
3) People all the time say that they can pretty much find an app for anything. Well I'm not a business professional. I have O-Market installed. But are there any other places to look for just some cool apps and time killers?
Edit (4) Umm, is there anything to be done for messaging. I've done some reg tweaks and stuff, but what bothers me is when I click on a new message in the messaging tab (the one where you can scroll through your 25 most recent messages) and I HATE how I've either got to start typing and then get interrupted when it selects the message I clicked on, or I have to wait for it to select the message and then start typing...
Any way to make it NOT select the message, lol? I already know what message I'm responding too dang it, lol.
Hopefully I can get some answers, or links to answers for these. Thanks a lot guys .
4) You can flash your ROM to Energy ROM and it'll eliminate that problem.
I keep going back to Energy after experimental flashing with other ROM, but I go back to Energy for that reason alone.
1) Start Menu is something I don't really use, ever.
Cookie's Home Tab allows you to have more than 1 apps panel, up to 5 panels, I think.
I have 3 4x4 panel tabs I can just access from home screen, nearly every program/contacts I use are on it.
Awesome. If I could get any responses to the other questions that would be great .
But thank you very much. I was looking at Energy, I will probably flash to that. I have CHT right now, so I might have to think about some more tab pages.
Do all roms do that with messaging?
After installing the update from TMO, The little bar that flips between mail, home, internet, images, music, etc. "shrinks" into a little black tab in the middle of my screen at the bottom.
This is super super annoying because it takes an extra effort to click on the damn thing and then slide my finger to scroll. This also requires a second tap on the screen when i go to browser because the first one simply 'collapses' the little thing and the second one will actually respond to the internet icon you're tapping on.
Tell me there's a way to turn off the collapse of this stupid thing. I tried looking on here but I don't know what keywords to use to search this out. Something like 'htc sense update hd2 registry change' yields nothing.
TIA

It sounds to me like you have cookies home tab enabled?! That is strange are you sure you didn't flash to a custom rom?! I have that one my phone and I have the update but the only way I was able to get that was with CHT. I have attached examples.
Yep! I do have cookies home tab installed! Dang..so is the setting in that to change it? :bangs head:
I'll take a look.
WTHAT A MORON. Thats its. The 'retractable slider' setting. I can't believe I didn't realize that was cookie and not HTC.
Thanks a million for pushing me in the right direction.
Awesome! Glad I could help! I had that enable for a while but it became a little annoying so I took it off! Hahahaha it does make it look really cool!
Hey, thanks for the info. I'm glad I learned about that.
I also have Cookies, and didn't know about that.
Now I have just enabled that feature. Why? I don't find that "ribbon" at the bottom very useful, as it is not very customizable. Nice to have the settings button there at the right, but one can also do that with a Quick Link. I like the music app, but one can also do a quick link for that. Withouth that ribbon, there is room for another row of quick links. (I find it unfortunate that that "ribbon" is so uncustomizable. You cannot choose what is in it, but only what to remove (other than settings and home). (I don't really need that home icon either, because there is a hardware button for home.) I don't like how that "People" tab goes to "HTC People". I'd rather go straight to the regular contacts list. But it can't be changed (AFAIK), only removed.
So by retracting it, I remove the whole thing (can slide it back if I want), but can put the links I like in that ribbon into quick links, for which there is now more room.
Thank you.
guys,
Recently got the Note 2, and unlike the note 1, this one has a battery life that lasts forever it seems.
Now, yesterday evening I was doing something and I held my phone a bit awkward so my fingers were all over the place.
I accidentally must have set some settings because suddenly there was this pull down tab hanging at the edge of the screen. If I pull it down it shows a kind of scrollable quick access bar/tray for basic apps. This tray can be moved around on the home page just like apps, by long pressing. It can only be moved to one of the sides, and it automatically minimises to a pull down tab only.
It has one edit button, but all it does is open up a larger field to add more apps (except I have no idea how to add additional apps to that).
I wonder how to disable this feature as I am concerned it will drain battery power. Also it would be good to know for future events where I might decide I do want to use it.
Any ideas what that might be? I attached a screenshot of the feature.
Hold the back button, bottom right to acrivate/deactivate.
It is the muli-window function. You use that bar to drag apps that support multi window to the screen so you can use both of them at once. Hold the back button to activate/deactivate this feature. If I helped you, don't forget to hit the Thanks button!

Funny it's one of my Favorite features being able to watch Youtube while browsing facebook...question who makes the choice of what goes in the bar.
Thanks for the quick reply guys!
It makes me smile every time some writes something along the lines you wrote You are not the first to ask and probably wont be the last. It's quite funny how we buy these super powerful devices and the instructions manual doesn't tell you much more than how to put in the battery. Thank [email protected]#k for the XDA and YouTube.
