Ohh Why oh why does my url bar +/buttons go b off the top of the screen when I scroll cdown? Very annoying!

Just the way it is designed I suppose - given the limited amount of space on the screen, they've probably assumed that most people are more likely to want a full screen view when they scroll down to read something.
You only need to press menu to get it back, wherever you are on a page.

this or when you can't see the address bar you can press the back button on the capacitive buttons and it will direct you to the top of the page address bar and all.
Problem? I always thought this was a fantastically clever feature.
Ok its gonna take some getting used to I guess.
Also why is the brightness settings in the web seperate from the control panel?
And is there a way I can get the system settings screen swipe pull down menu while on the web? Sorry for the questions and thanks for the help

Hi TF fans,
The question is what happened to the tabs in the stock browser? I have updated to 3.1 and I'm using the quick access buttons. but I can't see the tabs as they were before? At the top of the browser screen?
Where can I find help about the new layout and buttons from the quick access menu?
Any ideas,
rio
Yes you loose the tabs when choosing quick access.
IIRC it was the same way with 3.0.1

No, I've been using quick access since i got my TF on UK release day. Always had both visible tabs and QA.

Oh OK, it's been a while since I was on the older firmware so I don't remember.
Might nandroid back just to see.
You still have the ability to open new tabs with the quick access tab and now in the quick access tab you can scroll thru all the open tabs you have.
Cool option but takes a little getting used to work.

In the Browser, go to Settings, Labs, and enable Quick Controls. It lets you swipe your finger in from the bezel to access a "quick" menu.
I remember specifically the reason I didn't use the quick controls when I first got my TF (back on 3.0.1) was because it hid the tabs and URL bars. I have a US TF though, maybe that's where the difference lies!

It did hide the URL, but I'm certain the tabs were still there.

Yes I went back to the old firmware and the tabs are there but the
new 3.1 there are options to switch tabs, add tab, ect. in the Quick access.
Yeah to confirm, with quick controls on 3.0.1, if you had 2+ tabs you'd see the tab bar. However with just 1 page you'd see no tab bar until you opened a new tab. I too preferred the old way as you could see everything you had open...
I had the same "problem" (and actually posted here about it) until I got used to it. Now, I barely notice it as I am fairly proficient with the quick access side swipe.

how do you close a tab when using the quick controls? i can see & switch to which ever one I want, i believe i can even open a new one, but i don't see how to close one short of turning the quick controls off and closing the tab at the top.

The X close the tab. The + open new tab
try dolphin v5 its rocks, and make sure you use the gesture feature.
Hi all. My stock Legend running 2.2 SFR seems to have a problem with the home button. Pressing it when in an app no longer brings me to the home screen. However the long press still brings up the recent app menu. I'm thinking that it is a mechanical fault, and that the long press somehow gets over it where short presses don't register.
Any other ideas?

Your HTC Launcher may be corrupted, try installing ADW or LauncherPro, to see if something happens when you push Home button.
Edit : You can also try "Home switcher for froyo"
Will do. I'll let you know. Thanks.

i'll get the right tork tonight to open my legend to see if there is dust under the buttons
I've got similar bug, but can't reproduce it reliably - it comes and goes. But I noticed that it happens more often in the areas of slower networks (EDGE or GPRS) and also sometimes it looks like widgets on my home screen are re-launched (not enough RAM so OS kicks something out?).
If you have "stable glitch" try to remove all widgets from your home screen (and maybe all screens) and see if troubles disappear...

I only just realised today having had a TF for over 6 months that alt + tab works on it
Hold the 'Alt Gr / Alt' button and tap the 'tab' button to bring up a recently opened apps list just like in Froyo 2.2 when you hold the home button.
Tap the 'Tab' button to scroll through the apps, then release the Alt button once you have selected the app and it will open it for you.
Its faster for me than using the recently opened apps button on the screen and is awesome!
Screenshot attached
EDIT: PS. To cancel out of it, say for example the app you wanted is not in the list anymore, then whilst still holding Alt, press the back button and it will cancel the shortcut screen and return you to your current app.
lol I didnt know that either
Haha nice !!
Only works on the desktop screens for me though... but very useful
Hmm, has anyone else noticed that you seem to get more apps in the Alt-Tab list than you do by using the Recent Apps button (on the status bar)? I would think that you should be see the same apps in both lists, right? This my explain my orher issue where I can't seem to multitask certain apps (don't show in the recent apps list)...
Thanks!
Awesome, this definitely was not the case in the past, so Asus (or Google?) must have included it in one of the firmware upgrades. I remember trying when I first got my hands on it, and then not bothering after that because it didn't work.
Check out this list; alt+tab functionality was 'discovered' months ago:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1071739&highlight=alt,+shortcut
Not all the shortcuts are on the main page; alt+tab is mentioned on page four.

Ctrl, alt, delete works for a soft reboot as well. I made a list of the "common" keys. I will post them up for you guys soon.

The white circles on the up/ down and 1/6 keys are for scrolling. For example, to scroll down you would hold down the up key and tap or hold down the down key

I'm not following.... "Hold down the up key and tap or hold down the down key"...
I can't seem to do anything with the white circle buttons....
Also - someone mentioned a soft-reboot for CTRL-ALT-DEL? I don't even have a DEL key on my keyboard dock! I tried CTRL-ALT-Backspace to no avail... How did you soft-reboot with a key-combination again?
Thanks!

Totally my mistake... I have a USB keyboard also that has those keys... I just looked and don't have them on my dock either. I have used the ctrl C, ctrl V to copy and paste. It does work, you just have to select text first which is a pain.

Ok, thank you for the clarification!
I wonder if it's a good idea to port the softkey in Kindle Fire to CM7 for Nook color. I feel the softkey on Kindle fire is quite nice, not disturbing but easy to call up when you need it. I use CM7 on my NC now but feel the soft key there is not as friendly as KF's.
I don't know whether someone would do that, or interested enough to do that. I know nothing about cooking a rom and porting features to a rom. Just think it's quite a nice piece for device without hard keys.
Anyway, I think I will use Honeycomb or ICS soon on my NC, so probably it will not be a problem there.
I'm curious. What exactly do you dislike about the cm7 soft keys?
Sent from my NookColor using Tapatalk
I wish you could have the menu button come up after the back button.
back button seems to be the button you use 8-10 times.
also, a larger width, spacing and more vertical pixels on the button and softbutton taskbar would be ideal. CM7 softkeys are too small on 7 inch tablet device
I can click them just fine and think the size is comfortable.

with cm9 just around the corner and nativ soft key support....well it wilk not happen

I'm not familiar with the Kindle Fire, or its interface, but what you're describing sounds a lot like SoftKeys, Button Savior or Virtual Button Bar.
Alternately, if interface elements are too small, crank up your screen density to 190 dpi or higher. At 240, they're REAL easy to hit.

I used the Fire for a little bit, and I believe the soft-buttons were part of a collapsible interface. That may be their main draw.
They weren't "always there" like with CyanogenMod or ICS. You tap some thin-strip with a graphic at the bottom of the screen to get the Back/Menu/Home button, or you tap the thin-strip at the top of the screen to get the Volume/brightness/WiFi toggle buttons.
I like the idea of having all those there, but I'm also a big fan of physical buttons, especially for Volume.

It's not I don't like CM7 soft keys. I just feel Fire's soft key is quite different and and more simple

Yes, the deal for me is the collapsible interface, the thin-line doesn't take too much space on the screen but also easy to be called up when needed.
Talking about physical buttons, I love the keyboard on T-mobile G1, still using it for message.
