Did anybody notice that if you click on any letter on the right side of the contacts application it actually jumps to the letter below it?? So if I clicked on 'D' it would actually jump to 'E'!!!
Nope, mine jumps to the right letter. Youre probably hitting the wrong one, the letters are pretty tiny.

Mine doesn't do that... But I don't even try to click on the letter I want...
Normally, I touch close to the letter, and drag my finger until I hit the right one.
Actually, I dislike having the letters displayed at all... I preferred the way it was set up on my Moment... No letters, but as soon as you started scrolling, a drag handle would pop up and you could quickly swipe down to the letter you want.
It looks very messy with all those letters how...

If you don't have anything listed in a particular letter, it will jump to the next letter with a contact in it

Exactly.. What do you expect it to do if you don't have a contact that starts with that letter? sounds like it's doing the best thing..

My post was in response to the OP, trying to see if that is what he was experiencing.
nope, I got contacts under that letter, but it still jumps to the one right below it! Sucks! Maybe it's because I imported my contacts from outlook to gmail to phone...hmmm...
Those letters aren't to be clicked on, but scrolled on. Genius!

Hi there.
I've problem with NOTES aplication in my TP2.
Sometimes when i writing in notes my device doesn`t response.
I've made test. Open notes, new note, and in every single line i start writing digits from 1 till 9.
example:
As you can see, my device doesn`t response sometimes when red spot are. I used this same stylus pressure.
Please try your device, and let me know. Please please please...
Can u answer anybody please.
Yep, mine does it too.
And with about the same "miss rate" of two and bit characters per page.
I don't think its too much to worry about, i think its probably the phone trying to process all the input for the notes program.
Edit: My old atom, instead of missing bits, produced garbage if u scribbled fast. I prefere it to miss out 1 character that stop registering stylus lifts for a whole line.
thank u for repaly
Guys just tell me, are you not getting angry if you have to repeat this same thing twice sometimes while using NOTES?
I realise that is not only notes aplication.
When i'm using software keyboard ( FULL QWERTY) sometimes i have to Tap this same letter or digit twice to showed up on the display, becouse my device doesnt respond every time i tap, even using this same stylus pressure while tapping. Tell me if your devices are this same.
same thing on my phone. it's a BLAST trying to click links in opera when the link takes up the entire page and you still cannot click it.
but! if you click and hold it will let you open in a new tab instead.
i'm tired of it. phones going back to the T-mobile store.
Yeah Opera sometimes has trouble clicking a link but it's not enough for my to send this baby back I love this device!
Guys what about using " on screen keyboard " (i used FULL QWERTY) ? Do you have to tap twice sometimes this same letter?
This is a exemple i did to show you that device did`t respond from time to time.
My TP2 is fine. The text enter correctly. I am not a fast typist though.

Please can someone else confirm that?? Do a test exactly this same i did.
I got this from HTC service:
"Dear Sir, HTC appreciate you may have an issue. Your device should recognize each and every screen tap. If you are not getting the performance you desire you may need to adapt the way you are using the handset. I would advise you start by calibrating your screen again. Thank you for contacting HTC Europe."
They are useless most times.
Only have this problem with Opera and I think it's Opear not the device since almost everyone saying yeah with Opera.
Did you do this same test as me in NOTES aplication, using Full QWERTY and stylus (not your finger)?
No problems whatsoever, opera Yea but in NOTES with stylus i can write as fast as i want and it registers everything

A co-worker gave me a Dinc. We currently have a DroidX, Dinc and non-Smartphone on our Verizon plan. The DroidX has been flaky from the getgo, and my thinking was that I would root this new Dinc, load a ROM and let my wife use it.
Is there a way to root and load a ROM before activating the phone on Verizon? The reason my co-worker gave me the phone is that he was having reboot issues with it. I want to load a ROM and test the stability before I had it over to my wife to use.
The phone boots directly to the activation screen, and skipping is not an onscreen option.
Any ideas?
I remember someone else asking this within the last month or two, and I thought you could by pressing one (maybe more than one?) of the four corners of the screen. I can't remember if it was a specific corner, but I'll try to find that post about it and edit this one if I find it.
EDIT: There is a specific order, check this thread out, post #4 may help you out.
On the activation screen, tap the corners in the following order:
Top left, top right, bottom right, bottom left.
Awesome! I will give this a try.
I did a search but came up empty. Thanks for the help!

Thank you SOOOO much. This totally worked and I am more than thankful for it. I created an account just to tell you as much!! Thank you!
on a side note if the 4corners does not work for you. You can also just hit activate cancel try again activate cancel try again 3 times and it will beep and skip the activation part. I found this out when i had a Dinc with cracked screen and only parts of the screen worked at the time.
Hi, I'm Kitty. I love technology but it hates me and to be honest any fix past turning it off and on is a little out of my skill range.
I have the Samsung Epic through Sprint, it is less than three months old. I got up this morning and my buttons for the dialpad, contacts, and messaging were gone. I can't seem to get the dialpad to come up from using the numbers on the slide out keyboard, and I tried restarting it. I have handcent sms, so I can receive and send texts that way, and I can call if I tap on the call button through handcent, but I can't get back to the dialpad.
I saw one post like this but it was for a different phone and had no responses. If I missed a post, I am sorry. I'm a noob and unworthy of the help of you technology gods, but if you just give me some fire I will leave Mt. Olympus. (yes I know he stole it, fire wasn't really given)
I have to call and pay our bills today so it would be awesome if someone knew how to fix my phone without completely resetting it.

Are you completely stock and not rooted? And do you sync with google?
I don't know exactly what rooting is, so I'm going to go with no. I didn't modify the phone past downloading a few apps, but nothing recently or anything that I think would use this.
When I say I love technology, I love technology like a muggle loves magic. I think it is wonderful but I don't understand it.
Also I have the lookout app but I don't think I sync with Google. How would I go about doing that? Sorry I'm so dumb with technology.
Go into Settings. Then Accounts & Sync. Then add a new account.

Oh, I am synced to my gmail account.
Has this (the phone not working as a phone) happened to anyone else or do I just have a knack for destroying technology?

To make you feel better I lost my phone stuff after flashing a theme but never for no reason so you may have that technology curse you are talking about. Did you install anything new?

I have tried to make mine go away or blank out not sure what happened. you might be able to do reset but you would lose your apps and would have to reinstall.
Edit:
Have you tried doing a battery pull and turn it back on? Or have you installed a dialer app?
been on xda since early 2000's, and this is somehow my first post! i guess i followed the rules, and searched, and read and read and reread correctly lol! what's up my epic community, kittikat, & kennyglass123!
are you saying the icons are gone from the bottom dock, or completely gone from the dock and your applications list also? if they are gone from both (which is unlikely), then you'll need to factory reset your phone to get them back. if they are in your applications list (they should be), click applications icon, push the menu button (very left button on bottom of phone that looks like an equal sign inside a half square), click edit, then you can hold down on the phone, contact, or the messaging icon (or any icon), and drag onto the bottom dock. the bottom dock should hold up to 4 icons. the icons can be removed from the dock on accident, or by themselves from time to time (don't know why this happens).
you can also just hold down on whatever app icon you want in your applications list, and place onto whatever homescreen you want, but not practical for the icons you need (which you're going to use all the time).
i also use handcent and don't use the built in messaging app. handcent has a widget you can put on any homescreen, which will tell you how many new texts you have, and can eliminate using the main messaging app. hope this helps!

Ok so I found the phone, contacts and messaging after searching through apps and restarting my phone (they weren't there pre-restarting) Taking the battery out and in didn't seem to do anything.
How do you drag the phone back down to the main dock? I tried following your instructions but got lost. I will be back in a few hours (I have to go to work) and I will try again.
The most recent thing I downloaded was random lolcats a few weeks ago (lame, yes, I know)
And thanks for being patient and helpful everyone
no problem, it happened to me, my sister, and a few other friends with epics also. could have sworn i used to have 4 icons on the dock, and then one day after updating to gingerbread there were only 3. thought i was tripping lol. ok here are the steps again.
1) while your application list is showing, press the menu button (the very left capacitive button of the bottom 4 buttons that light up, below the Samsung logo)
2) choose edit (all your icons should show a minus sign on the top right corners of each icon if done correctly)
3) click and hold down on the phone icon until it starts following your finger, then drag down to bottom dock.
4) viola! profit!!!

Yeah I thought the phone or dialeractivity.apk got corrupted. Did not think it just fell off the dock. Glad you got it working Kitty.

Hey there,
Was wondering if this was a common thing or just my set-up.
When one of my contacts call and I have set a Pic for them to show when they call, not the whole pic shows. It cuts off the top portion and it is not the full pic that I cropped when I assigned this to that contact.
I have checked my settings and not sure if I am looking in the right place.
Can someone please chime in and let me know if this also happens to them or if it is something I am doing wrong.
I had the M7 before this and it did show full screen.
Thanks
So i guess noone else is having this same problem??

As bad as them getting rid of swiping topics away has been, I've got another issue about the feed. I have a box that reads "Don't see your favorite topics" along with a link to Follow Topics. I had this before Android O, and it went away though I don't remember exactly what I did to get rid of it. I have clicked on the box and the done button in everywhere I can see/think of, but it remains. Anyone know how to get rid of that box? It takes up a good amount of the screen making getting rid of topics even worse with the inability to swipe them away.

Can't you just select the hamburger and then select done with this card? That should still be an option. I'm on Oreo and I can still do that on the main feed page.

The item in question is not a card, so does not have a hamburger or the done option that the hamburger would give you. You can click on the window and then hit done in the settings widow, but that does nothing.

Yeah I don't like the new feed. Hopefully it will correct itself. My phone had the more stories button disappear for a few days and then just came back on its own. Don't know why it happened. Maybe it's part of what they are fixing before they release it officially.
