Two finger scroll in contacts different direction to one finger - HTC One X

Anyone noticed or is it just me?
If you use two finger scroll in contacts list, the direction is opposite to that of one finger scroll.
Is there a way to change this??? How stupid is that???
ARHD 7.1 stock kernel

Why's it stupid? It works perfectly fine being that way as 2 fingers is skipping letter by letter. Feels more natural to be the direction your 2 fingers are travelling for something like that as opposed to scrolling..

Disable the three finger gesture.

At first I thought it was rather counter intuitive too but then I realised it is comparable to dragging down the scrollbar on a PC

Working as intended, there is no way to change that in stock, and not a way that i know in custom.
For me it is ok. Counter intuitive would be the opposite.

It's not that it scrolls the other way, it's that different areas of the screen represent different letters with A near the top and Z at the bottom.
When you place two fingers on the screen it jumps to the letter that corresponds to where you placed them. So press in the middle and it will jump to M, two thirds down will get you S etc

Two finger scrolling on my HOX just skips contacts alphabetically e.g. if Im at the top of the list and I scroll with two fingers, the contacts list will jump to all the names starting with 'B' and then to contacts starting with 'C' etc.

One finger zoom.

How can you disable this function?
I just want to scroll and not zoom when I slide my finger up and down on the left side. I have looked every where for a setting to disable this annoyance..

I actually just noticed this when trying to highlight text in an email...I use chrome and it doesn't zoom with the one finger so I never noticed it, 2 weeks later and still learning about this phone lol
my guess is that you have one-handed operation on. If you take that off I bet it will stop zooming with one finger.
Still does it with one hand operation off.

Cool I can zoom with one finger. Love this feature now since I only scroll from the middle of the screen.
Still no disabling of this feature?
One Finger Zoom
It is a simple to use application to ZOOM on your images with a simple touch, while maintaining the resolution of your images. One tap to zoom and move in different areas of the picture! All the details, with the original resolution, are now at your (one) finger, one touch and there you go!
you can download it from Slideme Market
Spam ^^ . Dolphin beta doesn't have the slide zoom thankfully.
Still can't figure out how to stop the scrolling on edges....

Thank goodness for AOSP. I'm on AOKP and couldn't stand this feature on Stock based roms.

I don't have any of the one handed options enabled and it zooms for me from one finger near the edge of the screen.

[Q] Do you think HTC logo could be a capacitive button?

Ok so with the M7 an amazing developer @tbalden was able to make the HTC logo a capacitive button. Anyone looked at the specs to see if it's possible with the m8? That bloody big black bezel has gotta be good for something!

They had to keep the black bar to allow room to fit the digitizers for the speakers.

Yes that's right but is there anything left over to use as a capacitive button like with the m7?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
No. There's nothing left to make them work.
Sent from my HTC Desire
The logo was never capacitive on the m7. Logo menu was possible because a little bit of your finger made contact with the digitizer directly above the menu at the very edge of the bottom of the screen. I'm sure the genius devs we have will be just as creative with the m8.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
Well in my opinion it's going to be much easier than on M7 because on my M8 i can :
- Scroll a landscape webpage just by moving my finger on the top 25-50% of the black bar.
- Wake up the phone by swiping grossly my thumb over the htc logo...
So yeah, this time it should be easy to encode buttons on the black bar and remove soft keys.

[Q] No fullstop/period in stock numpad

When the m8 stock keyboard changes to numpad there doesn't appear to be a period so I can't enter decimal places.
Anyone else noticed this or know how to get around besides installing alternative keyboard or cut paste?

No problem here either, I have 3 rows of symbols under 1-0.
I was just using website version of Gmail and the keyboard you guys are talking about appeared when I needed to type a verification code. I think what I was seeing is an app issue and that keyboard styles are also app dependent
