just read about this.

How do you rearrange the bookmarks?

Press and hold. I believe.

I will try that again as did not work last time.
Edit: hold a bookmark and a popup menu comes up. Unless it scrolls to the move option I do not see how to do the arrangement.

Hold until it starts the rings around the bookmark and then drag dont let go.

I do not see that on holding on a bookmark. I see a Starburst on the side of the name almost coincident with the popup menu.

We need video on this browser give us flash player

What will a flash player do to the battery life?

Any way to enable landscape view even if it means removing the watch off of the wrist?

Wave Launcher / Anyone Using It Or?..

Could someone please download the app from the market, setup and let me know if you any text freezing while typing, scrolling issues while on the Internet or XDA App? It was messing with my phone but would like to know if others have issues too. (BTW... I really like the App)

Wave Launcher is fully customizable. You can change the size, location and even thickness of the gesture-area. To change it, look for "Gesture-area presets" in the Settings screen.
The setting the works for most people and is my personal favorite is "Bottom Left - 20%". It will never interfere with the keyboard or scrolling this way.
Note that you can also have Wave Launcher automatically disable in Landscape mode which is often used for typing, games, etc.
The app is very powerful and highly customizable, please go through all the settings to make sure you make the most out of it.
Any reports guy's?

Used it and it interefered with a lot of things going on on the bottom of the phone such as opening the app drawer and typing. Just my experience others may vary.

As Mike said above.
I also tried it for a bit, and even changed the popup swipe location but it is just OK. I think bottom corner 20% was the one that worked best for me, but even then I would accidentally press the Home button. Sides are for screen sliding already, and top is for notifications, so there is not much free room to swipe around. Its a fine launcher, but I did not find it useful enough to keep.
I thought it would let me make a gesture to swipe it onto the screen, not follow my finger around everywhere, to where I cant even get rid of it without the awkward swipe back into the same corner of the screen.
What it should have is a setting on how far to follow you across the screen, so if I swipe up from bottom corner, it appears, then it follows me around but only until I get to say 50% of the screen height, then it goes away.
That way, if it appears accidentally, I dont have to swipe is back down, but simply continue the swipe up motion until it dissapears.
I tried it but didn't care for it. Holding the Home screen button essentially does the same thing. Aloso, If you're running stock then you've got your most recent apps in the notification drop down. Unless you are constantly switching between apps, it's pretty pointless.
I use mine for a quickdial and store a few contacts there. so far it hasn't interfered too much
Thanks for your feedback guys!

No Kickstand Options

Does anyone know where the options are for the kickstand? I can't get anything to come on the screen when i open it. My screen rotates but stays on the homes creen with no options.
Wont work if you are using an alternate launcher like LPP. Other wise its under display settings, toggle kick stand on.

So if your watching a movie & have the kickstand up with the phone on the table, the screen wont stay on if your using launcher pro?

Yes it will work just fine. I was referring to the options that pop up for you to select while in kick-stand mode.
I use go.launcher and when I open kickstand I then have to hit the home button to bring up the clock

I use go launcher and I can't get the default desk clock to show no matter what I try.
What about being able to turn the screen side ways without the kick stand up? I like to turn my phone side ways and have the home screen long ways.
any ideas?
(everything else turns when i turn the phone, ie text browser option screen most programs, just not the home screen, unless the kick stand is out?)

Launcher Pro lets you do this, but you loose the kickstands activation of the desk top mode.I've made a shortcut on one of my homescreens for the desktop when I want it.

With LP, you get an option to put an activity on your homescreen just like you would for a widget or application. Long press a homescreen, select shortcut, select activity, select desk home, select desk home.

I'm using Launcher Pro and the kickstand option works fine for me. When I open the kickstand, it asks if I want to go into widget clock/kickstand mode. Is that not what happens for other people?

It didn't used to work for me, that's why I made the shortcut, but I just tried it and it worked. I wonder if this has to do with me flashing the Laser P-ROM yesterday which has the HDMI webtop hack. Do you have this hack installed? I also noticed I get a notification that I'm connected to multimedia station even though I'm not when the kickstands activates. I didn't get that message before.

Easy note to use?

When I need a note, it needs to be very simple to use. Simple to open, simple to type, simple to save and simple to find.
One tap from the homes screen, no title to fool with, auto save on closure and easy to find later.
I have tried several of the note apps but none seem to meet all these things
AK notepad almost does this and I use it but there are two issues I have with it.
It takes two taps to open from the home screen and the notes are embedded in the program are are not visible as separate files.
Any thoughts?

Great and pretty simple, one click for open and another to edit , than back key to save.
The best is Motorola Widget "sticky note" that comes with the stock Motorola roms.
*Don't get too lazy
Have you tried Evernote?
IMO "Colornote" is the best and it only uses a couple permissions, which makes me like it even more...
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
I agree with the color note. One tap on home screen opens app to your list of notes and one tap to open individual note. If only using one note it will open right to that note. Autosave on close. Simple easy...
Sent from my MB200 using XDA App
Perhaps I am do not have these setup right, but..
Using a shortcut from Home...
Colornote requires one tap to open from Home, a second to select new note, a third to select Text
Evernote requires one tap to open from Home, and a second to select new note. But the curser defaults to a title field, requiring a third tap.
Geesh, I don't use notes very often but when the need arises there is a little stress to get something down fast without fumbling with the software. A note app that opened to a new note on a single tap would be sweet.

Sounds like one of those non-issue issues. You have to tap to type. Right? Short term memory?

scrolling question

When you guys flick scroll and want to stop in the middle, do you guys tap it once to make it stop. Everytime i just tap once to pause it, it keeps going afterward. I would have to double tap the screen for it to stop at the spot. Is this a feature or a bug?
Not sure. I've always stopped the 'scrolling from flinging' by putting my finger on the screen and leaving it on, and then manually scrolling, as it's not often I can fling the page and it stop where I want it when I tap the screen.
But mine does stop with a single tap. What app are you using when this happens?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
Well, it happens on the browser. I would fling it and i would try to stop at the spot, but after i let go, it continues scrolling up.
Stock browser?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
Same thing happens for me with it continuing to scroll. I normally just wiggle the screen a little and it stops.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
yea stock browser. Is this normal for everybody else? It doesn't happen on my other android devices.
I don't use stock browser. Too few options. Yes it is smooth as all get out. But not enough for me.
I just tried it and it seems like to stop it you have to perfectly tap the screen without moving your finger at all (up or down), otherwise it thinks you're still scrolling.
Since it is stock there's a good chance it will get fixed by samsung at some point. I can't imagine many people liking that.

Simple way to share a picture?

Okay, this may be a dumb question, but it's been bugging me for a while:
Say I download a picture in the browser and want to text it to somebody. What I would like to do is swipe down the notification bar, tap the download to view the picture, then send to messages or whatever from there. But Sense doesn't give you the share option. The only thing you can do is "view details."
Even in Reddit News, an app with this kind of built-in -- you can download a pic, then you get a nice preview in the notification pull down, but when you hit "share," it just takes you to the dumb viewer screen that allows nothing but "view details."
Is there a way, or an app, that can replace this default image viewer with something useful?

when you have the gallery open up and it's showing you the picture. click the middle of the screen. this will bring up the menus. the button on the bottom left is share, where you have about 5 options of how to share depending on bluetooth, nfc, and social apps/cloud services installed.
No, I know how to share from the gallery, my point was wanting to share from the notification area without having to open another app to do so.
Ever look at a picture from a file browser? You just get the picture, no options to do anything with it.
Anyways, I installed QuickPic and it manages to do what I was looking for just fine!
