How To - Scroll Through Text Message

Circainfinity · 07/09/2009, 02:31 PM

I have a question and will greatly appreciate help. If I'm in the process of typing out a text to someone (let's say it's a particularly long text)...how do I scroll up/down within the text field to; say, review the content of my text before I send it?

I tried what you've suggested about holding down the 'orange button' and using the gesture area to scroll left and right...I must say that this manner of scrolling is really ANNOYING and NON-INTUITIVE. However I do appreciate your input.

There has to be an easier/faster/smoother way of scrolling up and down without doing so line by line as the method you've suggested is doing.

Also; let's say if I'm making a post (such as this) on precentral via my pre...I'm having the same issue where it won't let me scroll up and down within the 'message' field (such as this) when I produce a reply longer than three sentences.

Ok so i need help.I have a Pixi, and When typing a long text (one that is longer than the screen shows) I have no way of reviewing the previous parts of the text. when i touch the screen to scroll, it scrolls through the conversation above and not the actual text. i cant see anything that i typed before the last few sentences because it wont scroll. any help will be greatly appreciated

The grey square button on the left side of the keyboard.

Hold the orange button and drag up and down to scroll.

That worked, thanks!!! .

It's sad, I've had my Pre from since July and I never knew how to scroll. I just would use the shift key to slowly highlight lines back to the top =/
