hi, i discovered kinda weird problem while using fpse, I am kinda relying on its options to quickload/quicksave and on n10, I cant bring this menu up... I though itll be "as usual" by holding recent apps button, but it just dont do anything... friend of mine told me to look for softkey mods, but 99% are just removing them/adding them to phones which have hardware buttons, could someone point me to any mod/another solution which would help me bring apps menu while there is no actual button in app for it and youre depending on hardkeys/softkeys?
solved: partly my idiocy, partly htc/samsung transition, its on back button while holding

Some custom versions of Android can also force the menu overflow key to always appear.

Hello,
Just got my TyTn and got a question.
If i got a long email (about 34k just plane text) this is a lot of text.
With my tytn and the jogwheel it is possible to scroll down a page (or scroll up a page of course)
I was wondering, is there a way to make this shorter, so that the jogwheel doesnt schroll a complete page, but a half a page or maybe just 3 lines.
When i read a complete page the backight of my tytn turns dark.
Reminder: i do not want to change the settings in backlight! this is exactly the way i want it, but when i scroll more often the backlight stay on.
Please help
I hope it is possible.
Paul

Been playing around with my new TyTn also. I'm about to install all the software I had on my Wizard, when I was using my Wizard, Tweaks2k2 had an option for smooth scrolling, I'll see if it will change anything.

Make sure you turn off the volume adjustments that are assigned by default to Button #4075. After doing this my buttons function normally allowing me to call the start menu from the side button and the volume calls are eliminated.

I use the latest AEBPlus. If you use the add button function you can add the OK buttons and retain the start menu actuation via the side OK button while making those buttons actually close applications.

Under Options>Volume Adjustments make sure all entries are NOT checked.

Hmmm, strange. i can't seem to find that option under options. We are talking about options in AEBplus right? Only thing that says volume on it is "restore volume slider". Is this the one I should uncheck all items?
Thanks for helping out dude.

That's the correct name. I was coming from my memory. There are three options in there make sure none are checked.
Thanks for helping out aadadams. Still having problems though. After a while the windows button won't open start menu and neither will ok button on the side of Tytn. Too bad, I really liked the function to be able to really close programs with hardware ok button.
Not entirely related but similar, I was wondering whether it is possible to get the scroll wheel to scroll quickly through the contacts list using the 'big letter' lookup? I know of a couple of people who say the phone has randomly done this for them but they can't figure out how.

I do not have a problem with the side button. When pressed while on the today screen it launches the start menu. How are your buttons mapped? Have you assigned multiple functions to these buttons that fail over time?

Nope, only thing I've done is add button and pressed ok hardware button. Then I mapped it to close active program or whatever the term is.
It shows up as button 4075 I think.
Wierd, I did basically the same thing with that button but I remapped several others to extend their fuunctionality. I have never had that happed. My next question is what other apps are you running especially immature apps that may cause the conflict.
Hmm, not running that much else. Wisbar advance and pocketbreeze. That's about it.
I do not use Wisbar apps and sine it does make changes to native start and ok functions it could be the problem. Run without it for day or so and see what happens.
With only wisbar and no aeb+ everything has been ok, will uninstall wisbar and try only aeb instead.
I realize that if you start typing with the hardware keyboard on the home screen it will automatically enter what you've typed into a search. However I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed the following: When typing a text message if I end up (accidentally at first, and now every time I purposefully do it) pushing multiple keys at the same time toward the middle of the keyboard various, apparently random things happen. For example it may start a search, it may cause the screen to go back to my list of conversation, or even all the way back to the home screen. Try it for yourself and let me know!
i tried and nothin weird happens. perhaps u are hitting the back, home or search keys on the side of the keyboard, or maybe u have a defective keyboard.

I definitely made sure I was only pressing the very center buttons. It seemed to happen only with the "ghjb" keys, but you have to press them at the same time, multiple times. I wouldn't be extremely surprised if the keyboard is defective though...
there is a menu in the settings that has "shortcut" key commands... you can go edit this list and/or delete them so this won't happen.

I turned all of them off and that didn't change it either. I played around with it some more and found a pattern, so if anyone else would care to try this and report if it happens to them that'd be awesome...when in a conversation in the messaging app, if I hit "g" and hold it down then push "h" it brings up the menu that would normally pop up if one hit the menu button (it also types those two letters into the box for text). If I do the same thing but add "j" at the end, it functions like the back button (again typing those three letters, which end up being saved as a draft). Holding down more letters is a little harder, but doing so has actually caused the phone to freeze to the point that the battery must be taken out. Probably heading to exchange at store tomorrow.
I'm not having the aforementioned issue, but I am having the issue of typing fast on the keyboard and the keyboard skipping keys that I know I have pressed. I think it may be due to the sensitivity of they hardware keys - in that I am not hitting the ones that are skipped "hard enough". This has been confirmed by a few of my friends with Epics, but it's a minor issue and is resolved by merely typing "harder".
Anyone else?
i tried to replicate the issue, but couldnt. Try exchanging ur epic and see if u still get the issue

Same here, I came from the TP2 and I didn't had to press that hard, it kinda bugs me also.

I have a problem when i go into the shutdown-menu. Firstly im not able to press any of those buttons (shutdown, planemode). Secondly, when i go out of the menu, im not able to do anything on my homescreen (scrolling, starting apps). The only thing what helps is a restart with the reset button.
How can i solve this ?

You, along with many of us here on XDA and im certain elsewhere, suffer from a tiring and old digitizer. The simple fix is to remamp your call button(or any other button) as the power button. I had the exact same symptom as you, but i remapped to the call key, and no longer experience this symptom. There was another thread where he had the same issue. Use this post to remap your keys.
is there anyway to do this? why isnt there a menu key!
There is......It's the button on the right. They did away with search button not the menu button, is this your first Android?

no its not my first android lol , the one on the right? that brings up a long list of junk, not the regular menus (recent apps) i guess? al my other android devices, Droid, Droid2, and Bionic, all had menu buttons available any time for settings, i was wondering if there was a way to do this, as they have on the nexus phones, (yes i tried flashing it, dont do it was a bad idea.)
anyone else? the soft key on the right is the square with another behind it... brings up recent apps
It's a good idea to read up on the new version of android before posting topics to which the answer is a single google search away.
Android 3.0 did away with the menu button. now it only shows up when needed for an older app. new apps have a dedicated menu button in their UI.
you can access the settings through the notification drop down.
You must be coming off an old version of Android. The button you are looking for will be 3 little dots to the right of the square on square button. It will only appear if the app needs it. http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2012/01/say-goodbye-to-menu-button.html

Could not have said it any better.
Instead there is a contextual menu key (either top or bottom right for some reason) of 3 dots. Does that not work for you?

So far I haven't figured this out, but I have the Amazon AppStore in without a hitch, that's fine.
Loads up, get the main screen and have some placement issues with my TV and the OUYA,
again not the issue.
How the heck do I get the Android menu(s) up on this or anything? I have a ton of Apps in
my 'Cloud Storage' bit, but I can't trigger any of the 3-4 (normally) lower menu options like
Backup, Home, Tabs, Dots, etc. so I can't pull up the normal menu on the AppStore to get
to MyApps.
Are there shortcuts for these missing 'keys' from smartphones/tabs I missed?
I ask as not only do I need it here, but a couple of things I've loaded up successfully get
stuck on responses for those specific keys and I can't go further, even though the App
isn't really locked up nor the console.
Press the U button in the middle once. It's same as settings button you normally find on the phone. This goes for many apps including emulators etc.
Pressing it twice is the same as pressing "Home" on a phone.

WOW. OK, I feel like an ass. I swear I tried every button and combination, I must've hit it
stuttered or something because it always jumped out to HOME instead of that popping up!
One click, there it was... Also have to try it on Collapse and a couple others to see if that
brings up things so I can click/continue where needed.
So:
One Click on the OUYA button - Settings
Two Clicks - HOME
Red Button - Reverse/Back
And since the 3 dots was optional on many handsets and tablets presumably nothing mapped?
Thanks for the help and the swift kick up the hiney!
