Go to a long page in browser, go to scroll down but then go onto where the soft buttons are and move your finger left and right, didn't know that we could do that.

Glad to see I'm not the only one this happens to. I can't for the life of me figure out how to remove "Tue" from my dictionary. That is so annoying, it almost always happens when try to type "the".
Lol...same here. It's kinda annoying. Even in landscape it does it.
Settings > language and keyboard > touch input (press the little equalizer icon) > edit personal dictionary > hit menu then delete and get rid of whatever words you no longer want.
Cleared mine out the other day and typing is so much more smoother, but still a little quirky.

I miss the ability that I had on the TP2 to hit the letter on the right and see all contacts that began with that letter. Any way to do this on Evo 3d? I hate having to scroll the entire list!

when you start scrolling the list of contacts, a small slider bar will appear on the right hand side. touch and hold on the slider bar and as you move it down/up it will flash the letter for the contacts in that section.
pretty close to the same functionality, only you have to start scrolling for it to appear.
hope that helps!

A fast way is to install googles "gesture search".... Can be found on the market.
Or simply open the phone and start typing the name, there is no need to open the contacts for making a phone call

Had the iPhone 4s for about 6 months and had the EVO LTE for the past 3 weeks. Before my iPhone, I had the EVO 3D and EVO 4G. I found love for both phones, which is why I want to switch to the White S3. Seems like a potential great hybrid. However, there are some things I'm forseeing as a possible problem. Hopefully, there are ways around.
~When using exchange eMail, many of my eMails have pics integrated into them. My iPhone showed the pics as part of the eMail. EVO's make me download each pic as separate files. Can the S3 do it like my iPhone?
~What are the tactile buttons on the S3? I thought the one on the left was the menu button, but was told that was wrong. With that, how do you multi-task without the button and what is the button on the left?
~When playing music through my car stereo with my EVO LTE and I change songs, there is a weird digital noise blip. Anyone notice this with the S3?
~What's so horrible about TouchWiz that are sending people into Frenzy's in other threads? Personally, I think TouchWiz makes the phone look more like iOS.
~On the launch bar, is there a way to move where the apps launcher drawer is? I like it in the middle. Is that customizable?
Again, these are small things that I like, and any help is greatly appreciated

1. Not sure since I use Gmail and in the Gmail app, the attachments are on the bottom of the email and I can open them up individually.
2. Left button is the menu button. You multi task by long pressing the home physical button.
3. No sound issues whatsoever. Played great in the car.
4. To me TouchWiz is a little cartoonish but it doesn't bother me as much as others. But I think because it looks like iOS that's the reason people really hate it .
5. No way to move the apps launcher icon to the middle, but you can get a launcher if that's a big deal.

Thank you for the answers. The have prompted for two more:
~If the menu button is one of the physical buttons, does that mean that the apps are aware of this and don't allocate the bottom of the screen for it as well. That bottom 5% where it's all black, except for the menu icon that is. I feel that would be dumb
~If I do root, which I have never done before, does that interfere with updates that come out? The reason I ask is, I may want to switch dialers, where the app drawer launcher is, and a few other minor things
Again, thank you so far

Yes, they recognize it and there is no on-screen menu button.

The touch keys on either side of the physical home key are recognized throughout the entire OS, apps included.
Also you do not need to root in order to use a different Launcher [to change app launcher location).
On screen buttons have so far only been used on the Galaxy nexus, so the screen space on the S3 is purely for whatever your doing on it.
Also in case your still confused on multitasking, Holding down Home (physical middle button) brings up your running/recent apps, in which you can A: tap the one you want to go to or B: close them out by sweeping them left or right just like the notifications.
And the new touchwiz allows lock screen shortcuts now, just throwing that out there since your coming from an Evo background.

Just a thought - what you guys think of this new HTC coming out - HTC Proto.. the oval shape part of the camera much resembles the Amaze in my opinion. 2 bad its rumored to be a bogged down entry level device - 1gb duo-core / 5 megapixel cam / 4 gigs of storage space lol.

wait, are you talking about replacing the recent apps button with the 3 dot menu or adding it up to make it 4 buttons? lol... at this point i'm still lost for words as to why they got rid of the search button though... i'm not feelin the 3 capacitives at all - but ofcourse that's just me...

They should just get rid of the static/hardware buttons altogether, and use software buttons like on the Nexus Galaxy, etc. Then, through mods, the choice of buttons, and how they look, is yours (or, more accurately, the developers).
It actually look nice for entry-level phone, im diggin it! That "amaze oval" camera looks huge though
Also guys, the recent apps soft key Is amazing, on my galaxy Nexus I'm always quickly switching between apps really quickly, lightning fast!! I prefer it over the search key! And I used the search key A LOT!

I remember Google at one point saying they wanted to get rid of the menu button because it was a mistake because it confused a lot of the newbies.
Also I think sense 4.1 has a feature where holding down the multitasking brings up the menu.

Hi guys I'm from the UK and will probably be getting this phone when they release it as the htc deluxe or whatever over here.
On my one x, I can change functionality of the recent apps button to act as the menu button, getting rid of the ugly black bar at the bottom of the screen. I was watching a video review of the DNA, and it looks like this has been removed?
Can anyone confirm if this option has been put back in?
it isn't HTC that made this descision it is Google.. they got rid of the back button for the recents button in ICS... I havent looked back since ICS... I love my recents button for quick swapping between apps... but I'm sure if you want once the developers get into the device they will allow custom button mappings. maybe not to the extent of the nexus line where you can map widgets to the button but it should easily be the menu button
Actually its the same as the one x it just wasn't enabled in the settings on the DNA in the video.

i can confirm that in the current stock buid, the option to remap buttons has been taken out, and from what i understand it was vzw descision not htc
easy fix on custom roms to remap it
Engadget's review stated this option was removed.
Do people miss having a back button when web browsing? Since there isn't even a menu button, I assume people use some kind of swiping on the screen? Unless the back button and address and such always are shown on screen....

there is a back button, just no menu button, which cases that horrible 3 dot bar to show up in some apps
Hmmm so hopefully this will appear on the unbranded European/global versions. Verizon took it out? I thought we had it bad over here for crapware on branded phones, but to take it back out is just mind boggling.
Thanks all. I guess I'll just have to wait and see when it launches here.

Yeah i agree. I have the same option on the evo lte. This phone is prolly no different. The one x,xt,evo lte,dna all will run the same stuff basically id say.

Is it just me or is it kind of annoying that because they left out the menu button from the phone they now need to show it at the bottom of the screen for apps that depend on it being part of the phone??
Kinda seems like the iPhone 4 to 5 issue where the app only takes up part of the screen and the bottom is left to show that stupid menu line...
Couldn't that have made it horizontal instead of vertiacal to take up less space and make it more appealing???
/rant off
With custom roms there may be a fix to that. I also think it's annoying but don't worry soon enough it will be fixed depending on what Rom you put on your one. Hope this helps

You have to have the app draw open and move it there and you should be good to go.

Ready for a bit of an annoyance? You have to do it from the App Drawer. Even more annoying? You have to move it out before you move another one in, otherwise you get a folder and you have to open the folder to remove the original (in other words it doesn't swap the icons, just creates a folder with both)..
Also - it is a bit annoying not having a menu button. Modaco's framework will allow you to long press back (or double press, don't know for sure) for menu. There's also work being done on a custom kernel which makes the HTC area on the capacitive button sensor another button for menu. There's also this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191626) which was done for another base (doesn't work on ours, changes some other things in Settings that shouldn't be changed and didn't seem to enable to setting - which leads me to believe ATT went further out of their way to remove it then some others), but I'm looking into the changes that were made to bring it to our base too. (unfortunately simply toggling the method always on didn't worked as I'd hoped, but suspected)
I've already shared a build.prop modified to remove the 3 dot menu bar, but this leaves you without a menu in some apps which is a little annoying. Hopefully I'll get long press back for menu figured out though for att's stock rom.. if it's uber important to you, most of the int'l roms already have this incorporated
Thanks for the information on how to remove the app from the bottom menu bar. I never use text messaging, so was quite annoyed by how it was always stuck in there. I put Viber in place of Text message app.
The lack of menu button and wasting more space on the screen for that function does annoy me too. They should have just make that HTC logo a soft button. I don't think they can add another button on HTC logo with a software though.
There's already a custom kernel available that has madebthe HTC logo a third button
