Hi,
I make some search in this forum and in google and I have not been able to find an answer to my problem.
I'm a new Razr owner. Before I had a HTC Hero with trackball.
In whattsapp, I want to read a status which is wider than the screen. I'd like to know how to make it scroll. If I tap on it, I select the contact to write a message.
With the Hero, I used the trackball to scroll down to the wanted item to highlight it and the text began to scroll.
Now, without any kind of trackball, I've tried several way to highlight the item with a tap or a gesture, but no way to read the whole text making it scrolling.
Could someone help me ?

Hey guys,
I'm running stock rom on my hd2. I'm currently using a program called uptodate, which shows alot of information in text. The way I scroll now is using the scroll bar on the right of the screen. However I find that quite difficult when there are huge amount of information on the screen.
How do I change it so that when I want to scroll down the page, I can just scroll down by pressing on the page itself, and not on the scroll bar on the right side of the screen?
Currently it will allow me to select text, but won't allow me to scroll down by pressing on the text part itself.
I read that this can be done before, but I cant seem to find it via searching.
Cheers~
Hi,
I'm planning to get a HD2 soon but I have a question regarding the text highlighting which is very important for me before choosing this phone.
On previous resistive screens like the Jasjar/Htc Touch Pro2..etc, after typing texts, you can quickly highlight them by pressing the finger on the screen and move left/right with the desired texts being selected. While on the Iphone and the Vodafone H1 360 which have capacitive screen, this method of selecting specific texts is not possible. I would like to know if this method applies to the HTC HD2 also?
Thanks!
yes you can select with a finger drag.
you can select with finger drag but it will never be accurate. this is limitation of capacitive screen.
It can be done, if that method is giving you trouble you can always go to the edit keyboard and press select text and use the arrows to get exactly what you need.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(that edit keyboard is only available when using swype, it doesn't come as standard on non tmous phones)
ok thanks for your reply. I think i won't go for the HD2 for the moment because selecting texts is my primary concern as I emails/texts a lot. THanks.
Anyone know of a better app to manage the letter scroll in contacts. They are so little and hard to properly touch for me.
All ideas welcomed.
As opposed to grabbing the tab once you scroll?
Or just pressing the alpha letter on the far right?
You can use the google search bar if you have contacts searchable... or by pressing the search button if you dont use the widget.
I guess you know the scroll left/right to message/phone too right? If not, read the General Sticky.
Hi All,
Is there a way to diabled the new copy and paste feature?
I ask because I can not longer edit text, if i make a typo and touch to move the cursor back, it just highlights the entire word. Touch it again ans it de-selects.
This annoyence is compounded by the lack of left and right cursor keys to move though text.
Is it just me or does anyone find this annoying?
Thanks
Dave
Hi
I just accidently found the answer to my question.
If you are editing text, say for a text message, touch the text and keep you finger/thumb on the screen. I little green text curser appears above where you are touching.
You can then drag this to the correct place in the text that you wish to edit.
Thanks Everyone.
Dave
Yep i already knew that
Sometimes is good to actually read the little intro or some tips and tricks in the Microsoft Windows Phone 7 page. After all, they exist for some reason
But WP7 is very easy to manage. Here is a tip: if you need something, just press and hold to see more options appear... This can be done almost everywhere
Hi all,
I have an issue with the "right click" on the halo keyboard. Before I have chatted with fb support from Lenovo.
Their solutions were: 1) try with the rectangles on the side from the touch pad on halo keyboard (picture). My answer: I don't have rectangles, just 5 dots (picture)
2) You see the five dots below the space bar? the dots in the middle is for you to scroll up and down, left and right. You will start movie from the middle then move towards where you want to scroll. The two dots on the left and right are for the click. Try it. My answer: I'am trying to correct a word wich was misspelled using the option "right click" on it. But following these steps, seems like doesn't work
Now you know what I have tried. Is there an option a I didn't see or try it before? any hotkey? or crtl+? lol
Thank you!
Last update from Lenovo:
Sorry about that. Windows does have the left and the right click, however the android version does have the scroll only. You could try holding the option from the screen then see if you will get options popped up.
My answer: **** I would like to ask to someone from the IT (I don't know if this is the way to do it).
It is very important when you write or efit not to switch from one to another.
Is like having a mouse and the touch pad, to do certains things you have to switch from one to another.
It is ok, there is solution for the issue. But it is not correct, there is a correct way on windows, but need to be also on this kind of device too.
Please if its not here to elevate this complaint/ask, tell me where to.
Thank you
Sorry for your lost time reading this, but might help someone else with this issue
