If you are zoomed in and all that's visible on the screen is the yellow text box where the post is typed you (at least I) can't scroll across the screen.

That doesn't bother me that much. I just use the zoom bar to zoom back out a bit so that the text box fits the width of the screen.
Yes, sometimes when I´m far for my lap top
I post from my TP2 when replying to a post because I get the messages on my phone and can access the thread directly from the link in the e-mail. Otherwise, it is more convenient to browse the forum from my computer and I usually have a computer around me at all times.
90% of my TP2 use is on the loo. lol

I have a personal policy that forbids that. I never take a phone into a restroom. I like to believe that noone I call or who would call me would take a phone into a restroom either.
Same as Godefroi. I wouldn't use any phone while using a toilet. I've always been grossed out by the people chatting away on their cell while relieving themselves at the urinals in malls and movie theatres. But with this phone I'd be paranoid of it falling into the water. If it somehow survived I doubt I'd ever feel comfortable holding it to my head if the waters were murky so to speak.
As for the actual original purpose of the thread... no. I might someday but haven't yet. In part because I forget my password for the forum around 97% of the time.
I don't really post here on my TP2. As great as the device is the Edge speeds just aren't fast enough for me to click on multiple links.
Oh gawd.... can't believe anyone took it seriously... for those that didn't get it... it was all about pointless polls.
I know... lets have a poll on having polls... awesome!

Gosh, what sort of a topic have we unleashed here?

I just upgraded to Windows Mobile VI - Black Edition 2.0 and since then there is no light on the keyboard whatever I do.
Is there any way to fix this ?
It is really annoying, and I really want to keep the Rom (it is great).
Please help
UPDATE
It is now working but only when I press some key.
Is it possible to set it up so that it starts when ever i open the keyboard like it used to on wm5 ?
the keyboard lights up when the sensor detects low light. The other mode which if you disabled this function, doesn't light up. The sensor is at the right hand uppermost corner.
HONESTLY GUYS!!! CAN YOU NOT ****N READ THE THREADS BEFORE CLUTTERING AND CREATING NEW THREADS!!! ALL BLACK 2.0 ISSUES ARE TO BE POSTED IN HERE!!!
Hey, moderators...this guy right or wrong, is out of control and'd be banned on most forums..if U are a mderator....ban yourself.

anyway, I had a similar problem...and of the two settings 'power' and 'backlight'...you need to play with combos that leave the keyboard lights on pullout...but don't let the device come on and stay on.
I forget but I have 3 of the 4 options on and one off that does the trick.

Hello Guys,
I notice newbies or sometimes, even regulars asking stupid questions. To save space on XDA, here are some examples that you should steer away from. Take this seriously and it's all in good fun. Before I show you some examples, this is to show that some questions are either already answered in the forum, or use your common sense or finally, if you have no common sense - READ the forum. Everyone was once a newbie but how did we all get here? We searched, read and maybe asked a question here and there, but valid questions. So use the "Search" button, find yourself a topic and seek knowledge. We're all here to help but don't flood the forum with stupid questions. This is to teach all newbies to avoid these kind of questions and cut the regulars some slack. From nowonwards, whatever DUMB thread I find, I will trash it and post the link here.
Example #1:
Can I Put The App(Fruity Loops) On My Dash?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=413602

Give me a Break. How do you expect to convert a 5 GIG .exe (Windows Install) file to a .cab? It's a phone. Damn it - Yes, this phone can DO a lot of things but don't expect to scratch your records on a phone. Who the hell is mixing a song on their phone? No Professional !!! haha What has the world come to? You see someone mixing a song on the bus, head bangin' - pissed off cause he isn't getting the beat right cause his **** ain't tight - well no, DUH you mixing on a PHONE lol

It's staring right in your face, dude. It's made for PPC, not Smartphone. lol Cmon man, do some research or better yet, READ the title. Stop creating threads for STUPID questions. Period.
____________________________________________
This is Just for Laughs. So Enjoy but at the same time, USE this as a lesson to not create stupid threads. Read, Seek Knowledge and Apply Knowledge.
Lesson of the day: Save yourself from getting banned and from rude comments.
Best Regards,
lukybandit
P.S: Anyone that comes across threads, post the link and post a valid comment because I want to keep this active so ALL newbies can learn to not to land in the graveyard, that is STUPID.

you want to create something revolutionary that everybody will want to use, yet you don't know what it is and you are asking for ideas :/
if you truly want to do something for WM community, don't waste your time on yet another home screen or shell replacement. We have plenty of those already.
Create a framework so that other developers could code apps around. Make that framework flexible, look good, light and fast. Maybe even extend .NETCF35 with a new UI widgets.
michaelwood16 said:
I am one of the thousands of users who are getting tired of WM. It's old, clunky, slow and there's no games. I am writing to tell everyone, i will be creating a new user interface for the windows mobile platform. TF3D is ok in my books, so is the today screen. SPBs software is by far the best but it needs a lot of work. I am looking to make something revolutionary that will make them iphone users want to switch to WM lol. What i am trying to do is make something everyone will want to use. Because of this i need your help to get an idea of what are some of the things you would like to see in such a program. Also throw me some names i can call this thing. Thanks for reading.

ROFLMAO :
To be fair a proportion of noobs seem to have come from the Iphone, where their world is protected and everything is safe, to windows mobile which is an entirely different proposition. Unless you realise up front that you have to put in some work to tune your device then I guess we will continue to get these "registry" questions.
I also guess that's where some (not me) might claim that winmobile devices are not quite as noob/mr & mrs average friendly as other devices.
Anyway glad you got that load off your chest.
WB
PS: The way I see it the more we help these iphone (and others) converts and the more they get good use out of their devices, the more they will spread the word that winmobile is where its at and is a good place to be. Ooh I feel all evangelical and spiritual now..
I love my kids ( four ) , my job, my house, my life, can't stand my wife. Is there a registry hack for that ?
Why is it that everyone who buys a new iPhone feels the need to start a new thread to announce to all of us that don't care , that they are leaving Windows Mobile and moving to the iPhone , And then they list all the really important " business " reasons for the switch, like I can't surf you tube fast enough. Is there a registry setting that will immediately close these threads , ban the user and cancel their account for all time......... WE DON'T CARE THAT YOU JUST BOUGHT AN IPHONE, DON"T ANNOUNCE IT, DON"T TELL US WHY, JUST GO..oo...oo
Hey guys
Please Q/A your ads setup. Playing audio enabled auto-play ads is extremely annoying and beyond acceptable.
Let's keep both of us happy and un-adblocked.
thanks
Do you mean on the site or the app? I always have my speakers turned off on my machine at work, which is generally the only time I'm not on XDA using the app, so I never noticed sound in the ads.
I hate that sh#t though--especially when I'm at work and not trying to draw attention to the fact that I'm taking a break from working to spend time on XDA.
At any rate, the XDA Premium app is well worth the $1.49 to not have to deal with ads (or having to use ad-blockers to get rid of it)...

What is this???
Why are the adverts starting with audio enabled?
Seriously I've been using this site for many years and can't believe you guys would stoop so low...
Yes you need Ad Revenue but this is clearly taking the piss.

I'm getting one for Vanish carpet cleaner over and over, it just won't stop!!
Also the option of creating an acc with Skipit so I don't have to listen to it and all I have to do is pay a dime every time I skip an add !!! WTF??? I have to PAY not to listen to this rubbish.. You have got to be joking !
And I've just found that the pause and mute only work for 30 seconds and then the buttons don't do anything and the adds just play and play with no way of stopping them or shutting them up.

Please do it quick as it is [email protected]~king ANNOYING
Hello Mr. Fridgeman,
Please, why don't you try to relax yourself for a moment and let us work on this issue?
Using this kind of attitude it is of any help, we are working on it but, since we aren't the direct culprit for this kind of ads, things may takes some time to solve.
And please, use a differente language
Thanks.

I'm not blaming the site admin's, it's clearly some moron advertiser sneaking this rubbish in.
It's not there all the time, which will make finding it that much harder. Its seems to kick in at random times?

Yeah, what is going on in these advertisers head?
"Hey let's annoy the living daylights out of possible customers, that way we are sure not to get any customers."
What's worse is that people will install ad-blockers causing sites to lose revenue, couldn't you theoretically sue the bastards for doing this?
I haven't actually encountered sound ads here, though I have on other websites which is really annoying when you are working with 60+ tabs. (can get as high as 400 but then its just because I haven't been cleaning them).
I might have found a work round, or I might have just not had this come up today (or the site might have fix it?)..
If you right click on the add and pick 'Settings' from the Flash options at the bottom (not Global settings) and reduce the amount of local storage allowed to zero it may stop the add running...
All I can say is, I did that yesterday and I haven't had it run again (yet!).
You might have to restart your browser (I'm running FF)...
I was wrong. It doesn't stop it, it's just started up again
It's now coming from 'tag.ybrant.hiro.tv' But still has the Skipit banner at the top...

Apologies for the rant was just sick of the adds screwing up my music while surfing. Not a problem now though, just installed adblocker into chrome and they are gone
+1000000000
This is driving me nuts.
Pretty please. Scared the c**p out of me when kiddo left the speakers on full
Super annoying
Yep, very very annoying. If you still require screen shots let me know. Not hard as there seem to be a bunch of them appearing all the time.
