maemo.org - Talk - Gimmicks you might have missed on the N900

here is the top secret technique that all of n900 users will love it

when u r surfing on the internet browser, u probably use only horizontally view, don't u?

try ctrl+shift (up arrow) + O

then turn it vertically

WOW!!!

and then close the phone! otherwise nothing happens ;)

excellent tip ! portrait browsing was a feature that i was still missing.

I can now use it for my N900/ipad startpage with mobile websites

Re: Gimmicks you might have missed on the N900

I`m still looking for a tab key!....like when you put your username and the press tab to go to the password box.....is there a way to do it easily on the N900 rather than tapping on the password box?

here ya go

in the default media player if you go to list of songs and press the songs tab, you will see a playlists option. it displays all playlists like most recently played, newly added and never played...

am surprised how i missed it till now..anybody else who didnt notice it or is it just me?

Yes indeed. Inquiring minds would like to know.

I was thinking more like 'before I have the disinfectant ready after keyboard contact with both my toe and wedding tackle' but yes, spare arm would be a much better option.

It was answered above...hit ctrl + right arrow (or left arrow to go to previous box)

That is certainly handy. However I would like to know how one can adjust the sound-volume while in the browser.

In the user manual (p. 47, Browser/Web Settings) there seems to be a switch for it under the browser settings, i.e. to use the volume rockers for zooming or for sound, but in real life I can't find this. Is this one of the mythical FW 1.2 options, together with e.g. the option: "Enable Rotation"? Or am I looking in the wrong place?

Press the power button quickly once and a small menu appears that includes changing to "offline-modus" (flight modus by other phones). Is the quickest way to keep the phone from ringing when at the doctor's office.. or where ever. I use it all the time.
