Hi, long time casual forum reader having trouble with my galaxy note 3. I've found so much useful information on these forums it's the first place I decided to ask for help at after unable being to find any answer by searching Google or these forums. The problem:
Whenever I hold down my finger on the touchscreen it is not working properly. I am unable to drag and drop icons on the home screen by holding down then dragging them. I am unable to hold down on a link in Chrome and have the option menu appear which allows you to open in new tab. I CAN hold down and scroll the screen up/down.
I do not know what is causing this problem. I have in the past closed out various unknown/system services in the application manager but haven't ever disabled any. I have restarted my phone multiple times leaving it powered off for over a minute before repowering. I am using a tmobile galaxy note 3. That is not rooted. I have the most recent update from tmobile (installed it hoping that it would fix the problem). Does anyone have any idea what may be wrong or how to fix it? I'd be more than happy to provide more information if required.
Thanks
Correct terminology?
If no one has any ideas for how to solve this problem, does anyone know the correct terminology to use to describe when you press and hold your finger down on the screen then try to drag? I'm thinking part of the problem I'm having with searching for a solution is that I'm using incorrect search terms to describe the problem. I've tried things like press and drag, long hold, drag and drop, and various other similar terms. I'm hoping the correct terminology might yield results related to this issue. Thanks!

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?
I just got this HD2 phone for about 2 weeks and are having some problems with it. The problem most troublesome to me was the non-responsive or even frozen screen. When I made phone calls, I could not get the Keyboard and End Call "soft" buttons respond to touches - actually, all soft buttons on the screen froze. I could only end the call by pressing the red hard key. I need the keyboard to pop up to enter the PIN/code to access my voice mail.
As a matter of fact, the HD2 screen often times is very sluggish and even non-responsive when I browse web pages or a few pages deeper into some program pages (i.e., a few further on provided links). A recent example was when I installed a .cab file, and was asked where to install it: Device or Storage Card, I had to try more than 10 times to change it from Device to Storage Card!
Anyone has similar problem? Any suggestion will be much appreciated.
If you have BSB tweaks installed. Do a search. It's been talked about. But if not, then Might be a defective unit.
Yes I do have BsB Tweaks installed and per your suggestion I searched it and found "Screen Sensitivity" and "Phone Slide Cover" which I changed back and forth and they made no difference to my problem.
Again thanks to your suggestion, I did a few more searches deeper into other posts (I forgot there were many pages to search... and I tried using different combinations of key words) and I found the solution!
It was a post by bluenubian [OP] who suggested in another post to set "TAP time" on BsB tweak to OFF....well, indeed, "this helps another nooooob like me!" PROBLEM SOLVED!
Thanks to both of you!
Hi guys. I've been trying to search for this problems i've encountered on my X2 and i simply can't find any answers for it.
I have few minor problems which i want to ask.
1. My device keeps on charging even if the led image says that it's already 100%. I only assumed it is still charging because it is well written on its Status right above the led image.
Is this normal, and is there a way to fix this if ever? I'm worried that my battery gets overcharged if i wont to anything about this.
2. Sometimes my camera button fails to work. It happened several times now that when i try to activate the camera using its button on the right side the camera doesn't appear right away. Another thing, sometimes when i'm trying to take pictures and i pressed the camera button, the camera will just pause for a while and then green square boxes will appear on the screen. No image will be taken. Is that normal? or my camera is having problems?
3. I also noticed that the contacts are filtered by to view all contents (sim and device contacts) by default. I set mine to filter it to be able to just view the device contacts but whenever i open the contacts it reverts back to its default filtering which is "All Contacts". It is very useful at least for me to use the device as the contact's handler because my sim has limited memory and is divided into 2 parts. The first part is the one that appears and the other one can only be viewed if you disable the first part and make the 2nd part available by using the sim services embedded with it. So what i did was i copied all the 1st part and the 2nd part sim contents to my device and i was planning to hide them and use the phone's memory as the handler for contacts.
It was then that i realized the filtering problem. RIght now all copied contacts from my sim appears as well as the other part of the sim which is enabled. Which makes a lot of duplicated contacts (one from the device and one from the sim).
Is there away to make the phone permanently filtered in the device contacts?
4. I saw some of you guys teaching some members here to edit the phone's registry. Can i request for a 3rd party software to do that. Or can i just go directly to the mobile's registry and edit one of it (I don't know to do that by the way :-I )
5. Lastly, is there any way to activate the screen in order for me to unlock it? when the phone is locked and in stand by mode i can't seem to find any buttons to activate it. I am unable unlock the phone because the slide unlock button is not appearing.
What i'm doing to activate the slide unlock button is to press the power button or to slide the qwerty keyboard. I was hoping there are other ways to do it though just like on old phone wherein you can press the menu button and the asterisk key .
One last thing to end my post, please give me a Total Commander link too.
All replies would be very much appreciated sir/ma'am
To the moderators, please lock this thread if ever i violated rules. I just can't seem to locate any answers for my queries that's why i decided to created a thread with all my questions in it.
Thanks in advance.

Hmmmmm, regarding my query on the contacts filtering, i'm sure there is a registry tweak to for that. I was trying to look for it last night but i wasn't able to locate it.
Perhaps there are geniuses here that can do that for us.
Registry Editing to make the contacts filtered on "device contacts" by default. The default by the way is filtered as "All Contacts"
Hello,
So... I successfully remaped the left buttons to hardware Menu and Back buttons, but the top right is giving me headaches. It's set from 4 different places (Settings>Reader, NT Mod Manger, twl4030_keypad.kl file and from Cool Reader itself) to work as page back button, but it still turns the pages forward and I can't get what is forcing it to do so. I've tried to set it as a Menu button just from the twl4030_keypad file and it works as intended, but then again, when I set it to RIGHT_PREVPAGE it goes back to be a < button...
Any ideas how to fix this?
Anyone?
I've tried to bind PREVPAGE to the other buttons, but it doesn't seems to work at all. Am I doing something wrong or what?
Maybe the problem is that too many things are trying to control the button. If you want it to function that way for Cool Reader alone, why not let everything else off the hook and let Cool Reader do its thing? Just a thought. I've not encountered problems with hardware button assignments,but then I've only ever used NTMM to do the work.

It turns out that Cool Reader f*cked up somewhere. I re-installed it before, but I didn't notice that my settings were saved, so I thought the problem was somewhere else. BTW, Cool Reader's button assignment options didn't work at all - something was overriding them. What crossed my mind now was to delete the .cr3 folder and that fixed my problem.
P.S. Aaaaaand the problem is back! And I didn't even touched the Key actions... Interesting.
P.P.S. Changing the tap zones is messing with my hardware buttons... oh well.
P.P.S. So, when I change the left middle tap zone from previous to next page it also changes my top right button. Mystery solved. Right middle is also bugged.
I like my new S7 Edge, but I wish the home button wouldn't wake my phone display up when it's in my pocket: I don't want it to wake the phone up under any circumstances, after all there's a nice button on the side to do this . I had a web search, and found a number of suggestions to the effect that it's easy if it's rooted. But NO actual descriptions of how to do it. My phone is rooted and working well on Nougat using this excellent ROM:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/android-nougat-7-0-beta-1-rom-test-t3498664
I had a search in XDA too, but have still found nothing to suggest how I can do this. Can someone point me in the right direction please!
So no one knows? Somewhat astonishing. There are guides on how to do this on older Galaxies by remapping the keyboard tables but it would appear that the way these work has changed in Nougat. There is no HOME KEY WAKE, or anything like it, in the /system/usr keyboard tables. Key 143 in generic.kl says 'WAKEUP' and I've tried commenting this out, but there is no observable difference in behaviour.
I assume the function has moved elsewhere but I'm surprised that no one on XDA now knows how to mod this!
im looking for that too, cant find a solution.
