I noticed the other day that my notifications on the edge / side are now the wrong way round - they are on the default right side, but now the text is upside down if I'm looking at the side of the phone... any ideas how to change this? I can swap sides and it is fine, but prefer them on the right.
Thanks
Steeeeve

Hi I just received this phone today I have seen what you mention. For me it was down to the gyroscope. If you try changing the direction of the phone so the right edge is on the bottom it should fix the orientation of the text.
Hope this helps
Doh! Why is it that the most obvious solutions sometimes elude me - I'd somehow changed from auto-rotate to portrait without realising - thanks for that!

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 ?
Nigel
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' m a lefty too, and would appreciate any help in the downfall of leftism

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...
As the subjects states, is there a registry edit that will move the scroll bar from the right hand side of the screen to the left? Being left handed, it is quite a pain to cover the screen with my hand when scrolling.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Bump - Anyone? Any ideas?
This is a possible deal breaker for me.
I think I just saw this feature in 8125. You could change the layout so that the scroll bar is on the left side and not right.
Check Display...
I've got two ideas - not exactly what you want, but hopefully better. One should work. One should be very very cool. But time frame is some way off - I'm working on one or two urgent things first. I apologise
But I'll be working on this once I clear my decks a little.
V
Thanks for your assistance. The 8125 does have a "Left Hand" mode, but only for Landscape. Since I use my 8125 90% of the time in portrait, it makes it very difficult for web browsing and scrolling email.
Thanks everyone for your help. I look forward to any ideas that you come up with (anything will be better)
General question: do you guys use your scrollbar with a stylus or thumb?
V
Thumb. Mostly because my stylus falls out if i put one in, so I just dont even bring one with me anymore.
Stylus
I ask because at some point I'm considering a third party solution to the problem, and I need to think about how big to make it graphically.
Evidently both thumb and stylus need to be considered.
V
Yeah, I gotta imagine there are alot of other Lefty's out there like myself that are running into the same issue. A 3rd party application sounds like it would be very useful.
Hi,
I have a touch dual, and there are 2 things i have been searching hi and low to find a fix for.
1. When opening any sms or email, it opens, and scrolls right down to the bottom of the sms. I then have to scroll up to see the message. Is getting very annoying...
I was told on the forum here http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=836216&p=1
That it is to do with "Same on the TyTN II. It has to do with the D-Pad scroll from the TouchFlo."
Anyone got any ideas, or registry edits that can fix this.?
2. The keypad on my dual always defaults to the letter C instead of the Letter A. Very annoying when trying to write an sms, as letter a is .. well 100 percent more common by itself than C.
On a side note, i have noticed a bit of sideways movement on my touch 'screen' or the top half of the slider. Is this common? hoping doesnt get worse, might need to get it repaired.
Any help would be appreciated.

A lot of us are getting this, look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356340
Mine is only a week old, so no problems with the slide ...
However, I've got the same irritation with the C instead of A - very, very irritating.
is it possible for home screen to tilt when phone is tilted.
also how come browser only tilts left not right upside down etc
thanks
No & no.
The home screen (So i have read) cannot be tilted because of how the widgets were made and they dont allow it to be repositioned into landscape.
Browser does not tilt the other way (also, from what i have read and gathered) is because Android was built firstly on the G1 and that had a keyboard which slided one way. Did not make sense to make it rotate the other way, and so now that we have moved away from the Keyboard slide, it might be possible in the near future?
DO correct me if i am wrong anyone....this is just from what knowledge i have gathered from reading up these issues.

This is so the trackball can be used (by right-handers) with landscape mode.

You can use aHome (on the market place) to have a rotating home screen
when i click the the right (down) corner of the 10.1 tab to pop up the control panel (wifi, rotation, etc), it will also bring the whole right side of screen a smear of shadow/darkness , kind of like some visual effect associated with the control panel poping up..
is this normal? it really bothers me...
The one I returned did that so I'm guessing its normal...I can tell you tomorrow if my new one does.

I hate this effect. Way over done.
It threw the first time I saw it. Actually think it's hot.
