Not sure everyone noticed but when sliding between the 7 home screens, if you slide it slowly with your finger, then you'll notice that the widgets are starting to pop out more. This effect is just like compiz for Linux.

That's pretty cool. I also noticed when on the homescreen with the weather widget, place a finger on top left of screen, and a finger on the bottom right of screen, then swipe left finger up at same time as right finger down, it brings up the screen where it shows all 7 screens.....hope you can follow that, haahaa!

The pinching in swiping that brings up all 7 screens can be done at any position and any screen, just start by having two fingers apart and pinch in then u get it. Cool thing with 3.0 is that you can slow motion this process.
I was hoping this would be a thread about how you had enabled landscape mode on the EVO 3d like on the flyer. Stupid that EVO 3d has this rotation locked

i was hoping this was a thread that had a way to disable the carousel when swiping fast..When i want to get to a screen fast the stupid thing spins..Dumb feature,cool at 1st yes but when it comes down to every day use the carousel is stupid.
I don't know about all that pinching stuff to get the 7 screens, its easier just to hit the home button when on the home screen. I don't know if this was on my EVO 4G, but i like when I'm using the browser, you can long press the return key and it brings up the history.
You can also see the gears on the side of the flip clock.

Is there a way to turn off the carousel effect? Especially at unlock, it's really annoying and actually detracts from performance.

Nope sorry. Just download spare parts and slow down the animations so it don't take off as much.

I've learned that the carousel will only go if you swipe over more than half the screen. As long as you do short swipes it works a lot better.
There's a great live wall paper called "MultiPicture Live Wallpaper" by IIIIIT. It allows the wall paper to change every time you change your screen (out of the 5 screens available). The new sense on the 3D have disabled it because it displays screen 5 and the live wall paper can not function properly.
Also, the carousel is overly sensitive. What's the point of being able to spin all 5 screens?
So, if you can contact HTC to try to have these problems fixed. I know others are having issues as well, I just don't know what they are.
This is what I sent HTC:
With the new sense on the Evo 3D, the new carousel disables reporting which screen you're on. This is affecting many users in many ways. Could you please update it so that developers can once again make the calls to find out "which screen" is being displayed?
Thanks

I agree that the carousel is an awful "feature." What's the big deal, SPB Mobile Shell did this on Windows Mobile many moons ago. I find it annoying because if I swipe too hard, I get a spinning window and I don't end up on the screen I wanted. I now have to be extra careful when I swipe. That's just silly.
This is so pointless.

What's my choice to disable that, yet keep sense 3.0?
How about my choice to change sensitivity so it doesn't do a full 360?
And i'm being serious, not a wiseass. Is there a setting we can access to change this?
AND BTW, Mr. Orange, you will now be Mr. Pink! Because someone else is Mr. Orange.
Sense has 7 screens.
I think the carousel and static wallpaper should be optional, because i like both the carousel and the static wallpaper. I also understand that others don't. HTC provide us with some new check boxes in the "Personalize" menu

You said it, an option to use or not use would be ideal. Please let HTC know!
thanks
The carousel effect is cool, IMO, and there are some features implemented within it that make it better. Some of these features people may not know about and which will make their experience with the carousel slightly better.
First, it really isn't that sensative. I have only accidentally initiated it once, when I dragged my finger across the entire screen.
With the 360 effect, it always returns to the screen you were previously on, never the main home screen (unless that happens to be the one you are on).
When the spin is initiated, you can make it continue to spin the same direction by swiping it over and over, and you can also get it to spin in the oposite direction by swipping the other way. Once the spin has been initiated, you don't have to do the long strokes across the screen to keep it spinning.
If you simply tap on one of the spinning screens, the spin will immediately stop on the screen you tapped on. If you hold your finger on the screen after you tapped on it, it will stop the carousel spin, but remain in that carousel screen, which you can then guide to the screen you want where it will stop.
The carousel is actually really cool if you know how to use all of the features built into it.
Not being a smart ass, but what the hell lol. Why do you guys have to swipe so hard? I never have a problem getting to the screen i want...

Thanks for the tips, but still for me, there's 1 main issue, I can't use a particular live wall paper because the system call returns screen 5, and that there causes the problem and was told it can't be worked around.
The major problem for most is not that they swype to hard, but with just a little of a flick the screens will rotate 360. What for? Although I will say that I like that the screen on the right most will continue on to the screen on the left most of screens.
But, an option to disable would definitely be the fix for some of this. Sensitivity would fix the rest.

I still don't have that problem buy maybe we differ on our opinion on what a little flick is. The reason they included it is for eye candy. I see no other reason really.

I have never accidentaly enabled carousel effect while swiping. Everytime I make it happen by actually showing it off to someone. Never happens on accident. So I really dont think it is over sensitive.
You guys know what? After reading all of the comments, I did some testing. If you give it a good swype, it won't spin around as long as you don't swype more than half the width of the screen. Once you go past that distance, the 360 kicks in.
Try it for yourselves and check it out.
I guess I must be used to the evo and it's slightly wider feeling screen and that is causing problems for me and some others.
All the other functions of the carousel are useless to me and I see t hem as only eye candy... which can be better used with the mult live wall paper
I couldn't find any threads specific to the Droid X2, so here goes:
Does two finger rotation on Google Maps 5.0+ work for anyone with an X2? I'm running the Atrix port, 2.3.4. Right now, compass mode does not work (north is always up in maps) and two finger rotation does not work. The map is stuck in north-is-up mode and will not change to direction-of-travel.
EDIT: I've tried double-tapping the My Location button, but it does not change to the compass rose after a tap, two taps, or ten taps.
EDIT 2: The compass works; both calibration and apps that use compass are functional, as well as the direction the triangle in Google Maps faces. The only thing missing is the ability to rotate the map.
Working fine here on Eclipse 0.8.1.

I see this in a lot of apps, so its not just one app. I'll be slowly scrolling through a list of items and then all of a sudden it will start scrolling super fast all the way to the bottom of the list. What is the deal with that? Does this happen with anyone else?
This happens because of the nature of the scroll settings. You can scroll slowly, or quickly. You can also flick the screen to rapidly scroll. Just watch how you are lifting your finger. I was getting the same thing until I realized I was dragging my finger slightly at the end when I lifted my finger. Just lift your finger straight off, and not drag.
You can test this by placing your finger very close the screen, but not touching, and you can type/input.
So that little second after you lift your finger makes the scroll shoot in the direction your finger comes off the tablet.

When I choose one of my shortcut apps from lock screen it always goes to my home screen no matter which app I choose. Has anyone else experience this.
Sorry figured it out I was choosing it wrong

Are you dragging the shortcut into the ring, or just dragging ring up to unlock phone?
