Does anyone else sometimes see some kind of black shape in the top left hand corner?
yep, but not for a while
have no idea what it is tho
what do You mean? on the screen? I used to have some artifacts on start menu icon, caused by fingerkeyboard 2.1. sorted by disabling bottom bar hiding.
I have the exact same thing. Comes and goes--I've just learned to ignore it.
bronx is right, it's Fingerkeyboard. If you try to click on this shape, you'll see one letter of the keyboard appearing... Probably a bug !
oic,so its fingerkeyboard. thx
no problemo
I got rid of fk and using resco keys now. much easier to press "p" with right thumb now...

Wouldn't it be great to have a Diamond FOR LEFT HANDS? Even though I'm a Right-Hander, I have a friend who's a lefty, and wants one. Post other ideas and pics and ideas for morphing the Diamond.
I am a lefty and proud to be one.
I don't care so much about the hardware buttons on the phone, but more about the software.
Most of the time when I try to scroll using a slibebar I dont see anymore whats on screen because my left hand is covering the screen to reach the bars. Thats more the kind of stuff that buggs me...
Windows should ask after a hard reset if you want to install right hand or left hand windows.
Tomtom does have "lefty-support" and I like it.
I'm a rightie, but I can control my diamond with both of my hands.
I think, the only problem controlling the diamond with my left hand is the vertical scrollbar. Except that, I don't think there's another issue.
But there SHOULD be an option to put the scrollbar to any side of your preference.

I do not use wm6.5 mate.
I'm with wm6.1
So, I don't have a clue what you're talking about.
There is no any application to moving sidebar on the left??
Not only for Diamond! but for any other HTC device would be great to have a left handed!!
I want it too..!
I just saw Google's fastflip announcement and gave it a try. On my Hero, the webpage does not look right. That is, I don't get the icons at the bottom (left arrow, right arrow, + sign) as you can see in the screen shots at http://fastflip.googlelabs.com/mobile
Can someone check and see if their Hero does the same thing?
I think Google is now so big that the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. Look at our crummy Maps support, no Google Earth, and now no Flip.
I didnt see the icons at the bottom either, but it worked using gestures (swipe left or right to 'flip' )
i can't imagine you would see the icons at the bottom as those are put there by the iphone browser.....you don't have one of those silly things do you???
and as for the rest, seems fine to me.
Nahh, if you look at the screen shots those buttons at the bottom are part of fastflip. Not the ones you get after pressing the menu button. On my screen, they are not there. The space is blank white. No big deal, just want to know if others are seeing the same thing.
Hi,
only icons I can see are the same as in this picture iPhone icons picture so I think they are iPhone specific
Sorry clobber but that blue bar is, as has already been said, Iphone browser only.
They are the back, forward, new window, bookmarks and switch window buttons from the iphone browser. you will not see them on an android phone.
shudder...i need to go wash my mouth out after mentioning that thing....!

Haha. Fair call. I didn't even notice there were suppose to be buttons. I just instinctively swiped to change pages since that is the paradigm used through out the phone.
I hate buttons on screens for navigation. Totally pointless. It is a pity that Google couldn't display the whole article straight away. Although you get the gist of that article after the first few paragraphs anyway and it's not hard to browse to the original article.
I like it...but don't know how it fits with Reader which I get my new via RSS. I guess Flip filters it down to only the good/popular stuff.
I for some reason am unable to press the bottom left hand corner of the screen, which unfortunately is exactly where the dialer button is and now I can not press numbers for in-call options. Any way I can change this screen w/o flashing? im on Xtrsense now and would like to stay with it. Thanks a lot I have metamorph and amon-ra.
Maybe another dialer option from the the Market like this?: http://www.androlib.com/android.application.kz-mek-dialerone-iApD.aspx
I've never used it, but it gets good reviews, and looks like the only thing you would be missing would be the * then on the bottom left. Hope this helps...
Hello,
I have updated from my much loved G1 (rooted updated to CM6) to the SGS, I'm really happy with it so far, except there is no trackball... and I've found navigating around text to be extremely irritating, especially if the text in say the google search box in the stock browser is overflows, you cant move the cursor to the end of it by the touch screen.
Am I missing a trick here or is this something I have to live with? [long press on text in the iphone brings up a magnifier to move the cursor around, considering TW is an iphone clone I thought samsung would have added something similar]
If you use Swype, swyping the bottom two left keys from left to right will bring up the arrow keys. You should be able to navigate your text with that.

Thanks for that, having no rollerball / D-pad on the SGS was a bit of a pain after having a HTC Hero, but not any more

You're my saviour. Marry me!
Cursor arrows are also available in the normal Samsung keyboard by long pressing/holding down the '?123' button on the bottom left corner.

Wow... This is really nice to know!!! Especially after coming from the Samsung Omnia i910 with the wonderful optical mouse option. I wish they would have put that option on the SGS!!!
No problem guys, just glad I could help ;-)
Wow thank you very much for that tip. Im coming from a Nexus and Ive been switcing to Smart Keyboard Pro just for the dPad in there. Many a thanks!

EDIT: Got it! Never knew that... now I love this phone even more! :-D Thank you... That was a priceless piece of information!

Why on earth wasn't this told to us by the phone when we first used Swype? This makes things much easier, thanks for the tip!

Yep, they should've added it to the main tutorial. But it's mentioned in under 'More Help' when you long press the 'i' (information) button.
In Froyo, when you click on a text field it brings up a little blue cursor mover, it looks like a blue circle with an triangle on top. This allows you to positon the cursor by pressing on the circle and moving the cursor. It also allows for selection and copy/cut/paste. It is a big improvement over 2.1.

Looks like that option is not available in Froyo (long press and arrow keys) unless i am missing something?
Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I have a heck of a time swiping from the top corner to reduce an app into pen window. Try it in chrome and see what you get.
I either end up pulling the notification shade or swiping tabs. After 10 tries I might get the window. what am missing?
If your talking about pop up window I was having the same problem, here's what you do.. Swipe the corner of either the right or left side down but go ABOVE the screen a little start from the bezel where there's no screen and you should get it every time.. Hope this helps
Yeah that's it. Sorry, they used to call it pen window on note 3.
I'm still struggling with it.
Lol im opposite of you. They get swype too easily!....though I wonder if screen sensitivity increase have anything to do with it
It also doesn't work on everything.. No homescreen, you have to be on the browser or other applications for it to work..
Pen window was a different thing all. Together where you would draw a little box with the pen and a few applications would come up, this you don't need to use the pen for it to work, so if you're using the pen it might make it harder try what I said using your finger and see if it helps..
I'm not using the pen at all. I just tried it a bunch of times and I get better results (not 100% but much better) if I swipe quicker and from the corner of the PHONE, not the corner of the screen. Just about what Melissa recommended. But for me speed seems to factor in too.
Good I'm glad it's working better for ya! ?
Try near very corner, where it says PM/AM ...starting from the status bar...pull down past the bar, then i towards the center. You'll notice that if you go straight down the shade won't move.
That's usually where I reach to pull the shade down and kept wondering why it wouldn't come down the first time I try it.
are there any videos or picture tutorials of this? I'm really having problems. Granted this is my first Note device, but I haven't ever gotten it to work even one time.

It really is as easy as it sounds. Put your index finger over the front facing camera in the upper right corner of the phone then slide your finger diagonally across the screen towards the bottom left. Works for me every time as long as the app support it. Not all apps work so make sure you are using a supported multi-window app.

Yeah, there are 'dead' zones on both ends of the status bar. After you pull down from the dead zone, just swipe towards the center. You can actually pull down about 1/2 inch and it will still work.
I'm very embarrassed to report back, but I had never turned on "Multi-Window." Perhaps my noobiness will help someone else!
Thanks to all those who offered help!
