manipulation mode arrow
 

i cant seem to get the manipulation mode arrow to appear whenever i swipe from the left screen. i dunno why. it was working earlier.

who knows how to troubleshoot this?

ive tried rebooting the phone. nothing happened.

maybe you're not pressing right. i only get the arrow out 1 out of 3 tries. try using your left thumb, it works for me more often.

ive tried swiping from every centimeter on the left side of the screen.

anybody with the solution?

Re: manipulation mode arrow
 

Are you using some kind of a screen protector on the screen? if the edge of the protector is just around the edge of the screen, that might affect the detection of the swipe from outside of the screen.

with a little nail-age, you can get it everytime, and use it with very much precision! And even with a bit pressure...

I tend to start the swip from the phone's ear speaker...? Can't remember the right name :> and from there into the screen and go to the exact spot i need.

Now that this thread is about the cursor mode. Is it also available in portrait mode - maybe with some modification? Cause that will make the portrait webbrowsing even better! :D

EDIT: I also use the Zagg inv. shield, but still not a prob here :P

There are about 3 active threads at the moment about the same thing. I would suggest merging them.

@wheatbisc: The mouse pointer is available in Portrait mode, it's just hard to pull out because the border's so thin.

Sometimes it doesn't pull out when the page is still loading. Try waiting for the page to become idle, then swipe with a decent amount of pressure.

well its not precision or screen protectors.

the thing just stopped popping out.

my phone was acting wierd too when it happened.
it was slow even with me not doing anything, i restarted it, but nothing happened.

Nice, didn't think it was possible :P Thanks for that one, now only portrait keyboard in browser left :D
