So, I've seen people talking about this within threads, but I haven't seen a specific thread to address it...
I would be great if someone could create an app that adds a small number row along the bottom of the screen whenever the keyboard is open so that we don't always have to hit the ALT button. Is this doable? If this thread has already been made and I missed it in the search, I apologize in advance.

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?
The menu icon on the home screen takes a lot of space. There could be 4 icons in there instead. Can it be removed and then bond to another phisical key like the press of the ball?

Not really understanding what your asking. Are you talking about when you hit your menu button?
I am also not really understanding the question which is why I didn't respond the first time the OP created the thread.
To OP:
Please don't make multiple threads for the same question just because your not getting a response!

Ok I'm glad I wasn't the only one. This was the first thread I looked at when I got into work. Had to wipe the sleep out my eyes take a sip of coffee and try to figure out this question.
Are they talking about the app drawer and phone tab slider on a Hero ROM maybe?????

Thats what I was thinking, but not quite sure. Just waiting on OP to respond.
I think he/she means the app draw, that's the only thing that makes sense.
1) That would require a complete re-write of the app
2) It wouldn't give you enough vertical space for the icon and text
3) All the buttons are already used (shocker!) The trackball can be used to select an icon and click on it, so that would have to be disbaled.
ok thx for the answears and sorry I crated 2 threads about this one. On the first one I messed up the thread name so I thought nobody would read it. Going back, I am talking about the button that is on the bottom of the screen, the one that pulls up all the apps. That one takes a lot of space, actually a whole row where there could be other icons instead.
So I was thinking if there is a possibility to link that menu to an actual phisical key, like pressing the scrolling ball.

Yep, that's what I thought, read my post above, it will explain why it's pointless.
actually the ahome does put 4 new icons on that bottom part but I don't know how to bind the trackball. No it would not have to be disabled the trackball action as long as there is no icon pressed. So the drawar would be pulled when the trackball would be pressed only if no icon is pressed, otherwise the icon would start
Yes because aHome moves all the other icons closer together, which would require lots of work to get launcher.apk to do the same.
dxtop has a 5 icon dock, and can deploy launcher by holding menu key.
Sorry if already asked, but I've searched and not found an answer. Does anyone have a mod that changes the answer screen? I'd really like to eliminate the Reply with Text feature.
Haven't seen it, yet. Or much discussion of it for that matter. It would be cool to be able to customize our incoming call screens.
Buy Full Screen Caller ID and never look back.
Tried that - it gives me more info, but doesn't remove the "Reply with Text". Was hoping for more AOSP screen
I mentioned this once in a Development thread, but I am hoping maybe now someone can help. I often find myself wanting to make use of the keyboard in situations when it does not automatically come up. On my phone I can hold menu to bring it up, but of course Honeycomb does not have this.
Any how does anyone know a way to do this?
like what situation????
arrowing through menus etc...
It is also useful when fields don't pop the keyboard up right. The search button on this forum is a good example. Click it, then click the text field, it will close as soon as teh keyboard pops up, then the keyboard goes too.
I thought creating this thread will help a few people who are new to the note and doesn't know it's S Pen hidden functions. Below is the list of what I know it could do so far. Please let me know if you are aware of any other functions and I will add it to this post. Thanks.
1. Hold down S Pen button and tap on any screen to take a screen shot.
2. While in browser, hold down S Pen button and swipe left to go back to previous page. While in any app, the same action is equivalent to the "back" button.
3. While pressing the S Pen button, drag the S Pen down to open a list of options available on the current screen.
4. Hold down S Pen button and double tap on any screen to pull up S Note mini app.
these tips already mentioned in the user manual. So I copy here:
- Back: While pressing the S Pen button, drag the S Pen to the left to return to the previous screen.
- Menu: While pressing the S Pen button, drag the S Pen down to open a list of options available on the current screen.
- Screen capture: While pressing the S Pen button, tap and hold the screen to capture a screenshot. After capturing a screenshot, you can draw on it, write on it, or crop it. The edited image will be saved in My Files → sdcard → Pictures → Screenshots.
- Quick note: While pressing the S Pen button, double-tap the screen to launch the Quick note function.
I typically don't read user manuals.. I like them all wrapped up in plastic and new and what not.. I hope I'm not the few who are doing this.

OP, you had already created a thread for this!!

Why create duplicate threads?

Because that was in a Q&A forum. The general section is where people usually looks for tips not Q&A. Sorry if this have cause you any inconvenience.

Obviously forum moderators to provide guideline on this.
My preference is that, not every question that gets answered in Q&A thread, should be posted again in general forum as duplicate thread only to share the answer again. We all should use the search function more, and reduce clutter and keep conversation in a single thread.
Or maybe you can close the orginal thread in Q&A forum, and point to this new thread from there in closing comments?
Just my 2 cents.
obiviously, this thread is relevant and had helped a few people. Like I say, people do not look for tips in Q&A forum. I agree that we all should use the search function, however, a lot of people tends to not use it. I just put this thread in it's relevant section so it would be more widely available for more people who are new and looking for tips for our great device.
