1. lets say you wrote a sentence and then you need to correct something 5-6 words back , how do you move back by "jumping" words. instead of holding down "left".
2. the most important question - how do you "page down" or speed up the scrolling. this gets a bit frustrating in web pages with a lot of content or long texts. please dont tell me the only way to do it is hold "down" and wait.
thanks

Okay, I won't tell you that. (heh. the real reason for my reply).
Seriously, this is a sorely lacking feature. Maybe an enterpising developer will come up with an app that would create key combos to do this kind of thing, and bring the dash and others into line with, er, real computers.

come on guys ...there's no way around it ?
On PocketIE, I think you can use button 2(or E) to page up and button 8(or C) to page down...Try it and let me know.

Oops- that's right pvenkat, 2 and 8. Except when a link in the page is labelled 2 or 8, in which case the link is activated. Truly a better solution could be asked for.

i was just wondering if there was anyway to change the key combo to unlock the keyboard, maybe a reg edit or some application.
I wish there were. I hate the combination they picked... I always miss that stupid "star" key. I think it could be possible by altering the keymap file, but then it would mess up the star key and move it somewhere else. heh
Hi,
I've been looking for an answer to this question as well, but so far no luck. I had a thread going in regards to this with a couple attempts at work-arounds if you'd like to have a look:

Here's to hoping!

In my personal case, I would like any key other than the current *Z key, as my *Z key barely works anymore making the unlock process extremely tedious
how old is the phone? Maybe it wold be best off to get a replacement from your provider. Just a thought.

I got mine in October of '07, but it wasn't through my provider (eBay). It worked fine and the malfunction of the *Z key is my fault (puddle ).
I would personally prefer the left softkey (like it is now), followed by a press of the second softkey... or even the spacebar
i was thinking the left softkey followed by the right softkey or maybe the left softkey in combination with the talk key or vice versa

But if there were keyholes everywhere, you'd still wish it.
Well don't say it's not gonna happen.... A developer could easily write a new app to do this. A keyhole in your roof is not impossible to do, it just takes money

yes. any developer who could code this what be greatly appreciated and will please a lot of people.
I got an idea.. let's ask Technology. I mean, if he was able to write his super bluray, megavision, imax, 3d, etc codecs from scratch, this should be a walk in the park for him!

Take a look to Automatic Keylock by maniac.
1. Disable 'Automatic keylock' option
2. Enable 'Screen saver' option
3. Setup all timeouts...
Now you can unlock your phone by left softkey or home button
That's some great software and I installed it on my phoen in a heartbeat. But how did you get it to unlock using the Home key or ANY other key ? There's nothing like that in the app's settings or in their forums...
I see how it works now. You don't use the phone's keylock routine... you let the screensaver come on and then it's unlockable by using the left softkey (or any key you want) or the home key. There's a problem with that though... It only requires ONE keypress. It would be way too easy for it unlock in my pocket that way. We really need a combination of two keys, that can be customized.
1, in this version, after i finish doing the settings, i click "X" then dircetly return back to the today screen. However in the original version, for instance the BSB6.5O, i can still return back to the the submenu. I know this is not a bug, but such kind of design is really troublesome. As U know, u have to repeat the same procedures in order to do one setting.
2, The button take no effect if the device is locked, even i choose “ Do not lock the button if the device is power off". I can only use my finger to press the power button in the top to lighten my screen.
3, How could i separately change the system volumn and the ring volumn? A new VGA menu have added instead of the popup, so i can't find the original popup to change the volumn. Pressing the volumn up/down button, i can only change the volumn. The problem is such menu indicate the volumn changes for system, or income ring? Who knows.
I hope anyone can give me the solutions. I just online waiting for your reply~
Who knows？
maybe if you post in the good thread you will have an answer.

Something serious..how come the menuenhancement cannot display chinese even though I had installed the Chinese Font?
So after having my new Tilt 2 for a couple of days I was cleaning out my inbox and I realized that because there is no d-pad I cannot select an e-mail without opening it, unless I have the keyboard out and use the arrows
This means that if I want to delete an e-mail that is not at the top of the list I need to press once to open, once to open menu and again to delete. Does not seem right.
I think I saw something that allowed the zoom slider to be used as a dpad of sorts but I actually like it the way it is.
I feel really stupid asking this and I did search but could not easily find an asnwer.
click on the small letter, you will see the menu that will allow use to manage the mail without seeing it.

Hi.
I have an issue and i am wondering if somebody else is concerned.
Here we go:
I own a Galaxy S 4G and usually i use Call Log instead of the Greeen "Phone" button at the menu at the bottom. Whats the use of opening that and then pressing "Log" to find whoever i called or who called me recently.
But now that i own galaxy s 2 i do not have an app / shortcut for call logs...
Help?
I tried to find it in my previous phone and copy it over... no use...
HELP!!
I dont believe there is one. It is only one extra step anyways. This is just something you will have to get use to.

you're just lazy,not programmers/devs. why not just hit the "Phone" apparently icon and then hit the phone symbol again. Like a double tap. It rakes u directly to the log.
wrong section. this is development only.
Sorry for posting in the wrong section.
And writing over 2000 projects for the past 15years does make me a hell of a programmer.
Nice apps but I don't think its really effective.
I tried to ignore this but it is really bugging me. You cannot change the page from the top any more. I have to scroll all the way down just to change the page. Some of you are probably thinking "what a lazy git!" but it's seriously annoying having to scroll down every time i want to see the latest comments on a thread. Is there any way to get this back?

It will be fixed at some point, no doubt, but for now save your scroll wheel and finger the hassle and just press the end key
Hahaha I just googled this because I knew someone would've posted a thread about it. IT IS DRIVING ME NUTS!!! Hahah I am hating it just as much as you are. Hopefully it's just a temporary glitch or something.
It's quite annoying because I automatically think I'm on a one-page thread (hence, the wrong thread most of the time).
