Sorry I sound like the biggest noob here but how do you change ur menu around? like the stuff above your 2 action buttons like (home, people, messages, mail, opera etc etc) the reason why I want to do this is to delete some of them like Twitter and Stocks (since I don't use them), I can't seem to find it. Does anyone know how to change it?
You mean on the home screen? If so then press Menu>Edit Quick Links. If I misunderstood sorry.
Thanks for the response, but no, I'm talking about the tabs above the button "Menu" like where it shows Start, All People, Message, Box, and you can drag the tabs to each different section, I was wondering how I can delete someo f them.
O Ok sorry. You mean Start>settings>personalize>Home Screen Tabs
Then uncheck what you dont want...I hope Im following what you mean now

Hi, I think there is probably a post here somewhere but it eludes me... On my Orbit 2 I installed a program to give a "new" (sms, mail appointment etc). Is there such a thing for HD2 that could be put on a quick link?

You can either use the method samsamuel linked you to or you could set up an "action screen" on your left softkey and get access to various shortcuts like new sms/mms/email all from one screen...
Check this thread.....
Hope that helps.....
ooo thats nice, hadn't seen that before.
EDIT - oh wait,. i already have it cooked in, but bound to teh long press end key, d'oh, hehe
Thanks for the replies Guys. I think I'll have a crack at the action screen. Should be interesting for a Noob like me..........
Update: Wow I'm an idiot. There's an icon right on the address bar that opens the exact window I'm thinking of. In my defense, I don't think I used to have to access it this way. I seem to recall there being a menu option. Who knows. I bricked my G1 so I can't go look.
On my G1 I could long-press on the Back button and get my browser history. I've read elsewhere that this is the case on other phones. This is mysteriously missing from the Vibrant. Plus there used to be a menu option to see it. I can find no way to access the history using the "Web" app. There is a button in settings to clear the History, but what's the point if no one can ever see it?
Same with Bookmarks. I can create bookmarks, but there don't appear anywhere! The button that normally shows bookmarks (if I recall correctly) is now an "Add RSS Feeds" button. The only way I've been able to access bookmarks is by creating a shortcut on my home screen. That's pretty ridiculous.
I seem to remember bookmarks, history, and possibly the open window list all being in one spot with a tabbed interface. All I can get to now is the open window list. EDIT: No, wait, I think it was bookmarks, history, and downloads all in one place. I was using CM5 at the time if that matters.
Am I missing something obvious here?
Also, does anyone else think it's annoying that the browser has it's own brightness setting and you can't just tell it to use the normal brightness setting? I understand the idea behind the future. You spend a lot of time staring at the screen when using the browser, so it's nice to be able to dim it to save battery power, but I sure wish there were an option to just make it use the normal brightness, because I really don't care. This is especially annoying when I have the brightness in the browser all the way up, and I'm using the reddit app at night in my bed, and I click a link. BAM! I'm blinded by the bright screen and have to keep staring at it to go find the setting to lower it.
I think Samsung made some really dumb mistakes with their version of Android. I know that custom roms solve these problems, but users shouldn't have to hack their phone to get basic features like access to browser history and bookmarks.
Hi!
It struck me the other day,
that instead of placing your shortcuts on your home screens
why not assign a hardware button to them?
I though it would be very nice just pressing W on the keyboard instead of going through my contacts when I want to call my wife.
But I can't find a single app capable of doing such a thing.
The closest thing I found was Hbuttons for WindowsMobile
Anyone got any suggestions ?

Basically, if you want your own shortcuts, go to setting, quicklaunch

The web site you linked to says to go to Settings > Application settings > Quick launch to change shortcuts.. but there's no such option on the x10 mini.
Also, loads of the shortcuts on that site are SEARCH + $KEY..
there's no search button on the x10 mini either...
what we need is a key mapper or something like they have on the snesoid emulater. if someone could extract it, maybe it'll work
Really? Sorry about that. My phone is in the service center right now and I just read that article a while back and thought it would be the same.
Would love a solution for this, it's a feature i miss atm from hbuttons

I really like the web browser that comes with android, it fits websites nicely to the page unlike say Opera. But what is with the touch? it's always lagging behind, not like it's slow, but like they enabled some sort of smooth into action setting or something. If you move the page up and down, you'll see it's like it's chasing your finger. Is their a way to make the touch fast and on point with your finger like with Opera?
Can't answer your question as I've been using Dolphin Browser HD. I'd urge ya to try it if you haven't.
Yeah I tried dolphin, it's cool, like it. I kinda like the simplicity of the android browser though, just wish their was a way to fix the touch. If I stick with Dolphin i'll have to figure out how to get it to replace my web button on the bottom bar, I thought with the new gingerbread you was able to replace those buttons.

Go to your Applications drawer, hit the context button (i don't know the real term, the one in bottom left, brings up the sub-menu). It'll give you a warning about changing the 'view type' to customizable grid. Click the 'switch' button. You should be able to drag whatever application you want down into the bottom-four to replace the initial apps. I replaced the default messaging with Chomp.
When you're done, hit that same Context button and hit 'save'.
You'll also probably want to go back into that context menu, hit the 'view type' button and switch it back to Alphabetical grid. It leaves your bottom 4 alone, just re-organizes the main ones.
That 'edit' menu is also a really easy way to uninstall apps.
Okay so when I hit the recent apps button and all of my active apps pop up and I hit the icon like I'm going to enter split screen view at the bottom there is an option to lock the app? I figured that meant you couldn't close out of it or anything but you still can close out of it. Can't find anything about it anywhere on the internet someone could please explain that would he awesome!
