Help couple of questions

[miss_vickies]

hey guys,

was just wondering... you know when you are using a stock keyboard you can pinch it on the sides and it becomes one-hand typing keyboard. Can you undo it? Like, can you expand it back into a full keyboard by pinching or whatever else, without having to go back into settings?

Also, on stock sms app, can you change colours from yellow and blue?


Happy Thanksgiving, by the way!

Ok
1:- Yes you can, instead of pinching in put your fingers together in the middle and swipe both outwards.
2:- Yes. Go into messaging app and tap left menu button then tap settings. It will give you the options to change backgrounds and also bubble styles.

awesome thank you...

seems that u can choose bubbles but not the colours besides whats given... its ok tho


i have another question tho... on the locked screen when u put your finger to it u see a lock, surrounded by a circle and 4 arrows... im guess u can set those arrows to go somewhere.... how do i assign that?

thanks )

Hmm I don't have that exact setting on mine but I can set lock screen shortcuts. I'd look in settings and it might be in lock screen, display, security or maybe developer options. Sounds like you're either running a different version of JB or a carrier changed version but it should be there somewhere.

@ Miss V~ Wish I could answer that for you. I don't use the lock screen since my phone is with me 99.9% of the time. I felt ridiculous unlocking it to let myself in all the time.

i hear ya!! ... but im just worried it will press things while it's unlocked...

Annebrooks64... i attached the screen shot... those arrows lol they have to be there for a reason right?

It just means that you can unlock the phone by sliding the circle in any direction.

I had to save your pic. Yours is the first we're I've actually seen LTE working. I'm so jel right now.
Most phones just show 3G data arrows.

oh..

well, thats kinda deceiving with arrows and all.. when on jelly bean 4.2 update something similar is there but with arrows assigned to certain shortcuts.. like camera, contacts, etc...

 

[annebrooks64]

Yes that's all it is, I misunderstood what you were talking about. I disabled that on mine it was annoying me way too much.
You can set camera quick access from lock screen as well as change widgets at the bottom. Click the switch in lock screen settings and when screen is locked press your finger on it and turn the phone at the same time.

No yet anyway. I'm in Philly PA and from everything I've read one would think we'll have it by the end of Dec '12.
Yesterday I played with my sister's HTC One X (AT&T) more than I did my own phone. It stayed in my pocket most of the time I was away from WiFi. Her LTE was SWEET!!!!

She graduated from a basic flip phone so getting to play with hers was torture for her. She kept saying give me my phone. Play with that big TV you got. LOL!!!

That's 1/2 the fun of a new toy. Interestingly enough, some people never think they're missing out. My sister who has had her little flip phone for eons always points out the things she can do on it. The only reason she has the One X now is because her fiancee couldn't take it any more.
