Help--phone constantly sliding display to the right......

I started noticing this last night, but today it's almost constant.
My Droid is fighting against me, scrolling the display to the rightmost screen.  And while I'm reading on the Kindle app, it scrolls and jumps around randomly.
This just started yesterday--I haven't downloaded anything new from the Market, and I didn't do anything to my phone that I know of....
Any ideas?  I did try rebooting, but I'd rather avoid a hard reset if I can.......
Any help is greatly appreciated.....thanks!

marseille, I truly understand your frustration and know how important it is to have the ability to read without interruptions. I will do my best to review and research your issue for a possible resolution. 
I was unable to locate your particular issue as one that was reported but I can provide you with some trouble shooting steps that may help with your issue. I would first start by putting the phone in safe mode. This function disables the apps that were installed on your phone from the Android Market temporarily. This will allow you to figure out if one of the apps you installed is causing the problem. I will list the steps below. You can also try removing and re-adding the Kindle app to your phone. 
-You will need to press and hold down the power key
--select power off
--select ok
--press power key
--When the second HTC Logo screen appears, press and hold the volume down key, the menu key and the optical joystick at the same time. This may take up to 30 seconds.
To disable the safe mode, you may use the steps below
 --Press and hold down the Power Key 
--Select Power Off.
--Select OK.
To remove the Kindle application, you can use the steps below.  Applications included with the Android Operating System may not have an uninstall option.
From the home screen, touch the applications tab (located in the lower-left).
Touch Settings.
Touch Applications.
Touch Manage applications.
Touch the application.
Touch Uninstall.
Touch OK.
Touch OK.
marseille, please let us know if any of the steps above assist in resolving your issue. If you have any additional issues please do not hesitate to post them. The community along with Verizon Wireless reps are here to help in any way.

    Does anyone have a suggestion on this?Have you actually considered where Region Position 3 is located on the page? Content in regions that are located on the right tends to be displayed on the right.
    From the dimensions specified in the page templates it's also clear that region position 3 is intended to be used for narrower content than the average interactive report.
    Consider using either a more appropriate region position or a different theme (theme 10 is ugly as sin anyway).

  • Slideshow-Images not displaying in the right place on the screen

    I am trying to use the SlideShow widget for the first time. I have a pretty basic slideshow with six images that I want to display. When I preview it in IE or Firefox,what I get is really weird. The first image displays in the right place.  The second displays in the right place, but with a black box underneath it. The third displays under where it's supposed to go, with a black box above it. After this, the images alternate between where they're supposed to be and just below that, with a black box of the same size in the second location. I've looked at the source of other webpages that have working slide shows, and I don't see a difference between what I'm doing and what they're doing. Here is what I think is the relevant code. Can anyone suggest a way to fix this?

    If you have a look at basic_fs.css, you will notice that the styles taget a class called BasicSlideShowFS.
    Yet when I look at the constructor, the class is missing as in
    var ImageSlideShow = new Spry.Widget.ImageSlideShow("#ImageSlideShow", {
        widgetID: "ImageSlideShow",
        widgetClass: "BasicSlideShowFS",
        injectionType: "replace",
        autoPlay: true,
    Because you are not using the thumbnails (filmstrip), I am wondering why you did not implement the basic slideshow, which will make it a lot easier for you.

    I have Final Cut Studio V1 - the PPC/Intel V5/5.1 cross-grade version, which would suit your requirements perfectly. (I have it for sale at present down here).
    If you keep looking, you're sure to find a similar second hand copy in your area, without the need to upgrade your graphics card.
    I'd go for Final Cut Pro as above over any version of Express. FCP has the full version of LiveType - not the truncated version that was released later on.

  • Require a region to be displayed on the right of dynamic tab shell layout

    I'm using Dynamic tab shell layout for my appliation.
    So whenever an user clicks on a task on the navigation, i'm launching a new taskflow in a tab.
    I have a new requirement to always display something on the right of the dynamic tab shell. (similar to navigation facet on the left, but its not used for navigation and it is used to display some text or image irrespective of whatever show in other facets)
    How this can be acheived?
    Any pointers would be appreciated.

    Which version of FCE are you using ? I could test it only with FCE 3.0, 3.5. I learned that some older versions have different filter support, that is not compatible with the current one. But I cannot test them since I don't have them...
    Otherwise, if your version is compatible, it's possible that the downloaded text file (the filter is a text file) does not have the correct "settings", has described in my Plugin Installation page. Basically you must make sure that Line Breaks are "Unix" and Encoding is "Unicode (UTF-8, no BOM)", otherwise FCE doesn't recognize it as a filter. To check/fix them unfortunately TextEdit doesn't help, but you may use the free TextWrangler.
    If you downloaded the .zip file these settings are already correct, while if you download the pure text file they might have been modified during download.

  • In Mail, I can see the list of messages on the left but the message that is highlighted doesn't display on the right.

    Where is my mail message?  The list of emails with preview is on the left, but the pane on the right only contains the sender and subject, no content.

    Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
    If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app completely : from the home screen (i.e.not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    Also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • How do I get the bookmarks to appear on the right side of my screen? It currently displays on the right side.

    in the past, when I click on the favorites icon, all my saved bookmarks would appear on the left side of my screen. For some unknown reason, it now appears on the the right side?

    hello bingseto, can you test if the same is happening when you launch firefox in safe mode once - maybe a theme or extension is interfering?!

    Opening in the side bar is the default for bookmarks that are created via a link or button on a website.<br />
    You can check the Properties of a bookmark via the right-click context menu in the side bar (Ctrl+B; Cmd+B on Mac).<br />

  • Phones constantly turn off in the middle of phone calls, texting or web browsing; help!

    My daughter and I both have BlackBerry Curves that are approxiamately 2 years old.  They are constantly shutting down during phone calls and web browsing even though the battery shows a full charge. When they finally finish rebooting the battery indicators show that they are completely drained and need to be recharged.  The screens freeze regularly and the little clock icon keeps spinning whenever we try to do the most basic functions.  I can't wait to upgrade to different phone but can't afford to buy four of them at once.  What can we do to get by until we upgrade?

        Wow Scotty1964. It's certainly strange that both phones are doing the same thing! Do you both share the same chargers? It may be as simple as the charger needing to be replaced if the phone is not getting the best charge to begin with. It's also possible that both devices downloaded something in common to cause the quirky behavior. Did this start after an update was installed on the phone? Or maybe an application was updated or installed? If just removing an application doesn't help, you may find a Master Reset http://bit.ly/zK7LOX may be the best way to purge the phone of the pesky trouble and have working devices in your hand until you're ready for those upgrades.
    And I know money is tight, especially when you're looking to upgrade so many devices at once. When you have a chance, visit http://bit.ly/zpAY1E to check out all the online specials for phones. An upgrade may be more affordable than you think.

  • Need help:JPanel not being displayed in the JFrame

    Hello,
    I have a class called ConstructRoom.java which extends JFrame and another class called DimensionsPanel.java which extends JPanel. In the ConstructRoom class I use the following theContainer.add(new DimensionsPanel());, so I can display my JPanel. Well I get the JFrame but no JPanel. When the this call is made the DimensionsPanel.java code is cycled through, Where has my JPanel gone to?
    If I change the DimensionPanel.java extend JFrame and add the the JFrame code. Then I get the JFrame and the JPanel.
    Whats going on here?

  • $20 to anyone who can help: (I think) how to send the right cookie info

    Yes, we're so befuddled and stumped that we are willing to pay $25 by Paypal or any other method (check, money order) to the first person who provides us with a concrete solution that allows us to read this page through a Java application:
    http://s1.amazon.com/exec/varzea/subst/your-account/your-open-marketplace-items.html/104-3907538-7794313
    The problem (we think) seems relatively simple: how can we pass the correct cookie to a server? We want to search our merchant web pages on amazon.com (and perform other operations, but for the purposes of this problem, just assume we want to read the above web page). We wrote a variation of a webcrawler which works fine on most web pages. However, the Amazon web pages we want to crawl (i.e., http://s1.amazon.com/exec/varzea/subst/your-account/your-open-marketplace-items.html/104-3907538-7794313) require you to sign in first (otherwise you get redirected to http://s1.amazon.com/exec/varzea/subst/your-account/your-won-zshop-items.html/104-0793551-2976761). So we thought that this meant we had to figure out how to get our webcrawler to login first (we implemented the Java Almanac example for accessing password-protected URLs: http://javaalmanac.com/egs/java.net/Auth.html?l=rel). During the course of testing this out (the code seemed to work, though we still got redirected), we realized that the Amazon web page is not actually performing basic authentication (not asking for username/password), but instead seems (that is, seems to inexperienced us) to be looking for a cookie. We believe this because after we sign in to Amazon, we can access all our merchant web pages just fine without ever needing to log in, even if we turn off the browser (or computer). Also, if we try to access the web page after deleting all cookies, we again get redirected to the page requesting that we sign in.
    So we took a look at the Amazon cookie that was created after we signed in to Amazon (printed below), and then implemented the cookie-passing code from the Java Almanac (http://javaalmanac.com/egs/java.net/SendCookie.html). This seemed to have no effect:we still got redirected. We hunted around for other Cookie examples and found achase1's example from a previous forum question (http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=54&thread=375956), which seemed to add a few HTTPUrlConnection.set's, but this also had no effect--our Java crawler still gets redirected to the page that requests that we sign in first.
    So we think that either we are somehow passing the wrong cookie information, or are just missing some critical HttpURLConnection setting or parameter.
    So, if you can tell us how to read the Amazon page that seems to require a cookie, and your explanation actually works (that is, we can read the page), we will send you $25 immediately--like so many others on the forum, we're frustrated and lost and need an answer that works!
    Here is the Amazon account information (naturally, this is a working dummy account on Amazon, not our actual account, in case you want to test your solution before posting it):
    username: [email protected]

    Here is the extra-simplified version of our webcrawler, which simply tries to read (and print out) the web page:
    import java.net.*;
    import java.io.*;
    public class PasswordReader {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    // Try to access the page
    try {

         URL url = new URL(args[0]);
    // Cookie passing code
         m_urlConn=(HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
         m_urlConn.setDoOutput(true);
         m_urlConn.setDoInput(true);
         m_urlConn.setUseCaches(false);
         m_urlConn.setRequestMethod("POST");
         // optrional
         m_urlConn.setRequestProperty("User-Agent","Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0; H010818)");
         m_urlConn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type","application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
         m_urlConn.setRequestProperty("Cookie" , "session-id=104-3907538-7794313;session-id-time=1055491200;ubid-main=430-1017936-7312154;x-main=Z3yciaQAfpzN?CPFkzeRd8z1U2lWcoap");
         m_urlConn.connect();
    // end cookie code
         BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
                        new InputStreamReader(
                        url.openStream()));
         String inputLine;
    // Read and print out the web page
         while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null)
         System.out.println(inputLine);
         in.close();
    } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
    } catch (IOException e) {
    Thank so much to anyone who even tries to help us!! We've been poring through the Sun forums, almanacs, and sample code all week without much evident progress. You'd really be making us very, very happy.
    Thank you,

  • Problem getting tracks to display in the right order

    My music library does not always display tracks in the desired order.  For example, after loading a concerto from a CD I find the movements are out of order.  When I try to rectify this by putting a numeral into the track title itunes takes no notice.   I've had the same problem organising talking book tracks: when I try to order the untitled tracks numerically, itunes reads the numbers oddly eg L1 01 is followed not by L1 02 but by L2 01; then it reverts to L1 02, then L2 02 etc. With letters itunes alphabet order without exception. Why does it not do so with numbers?
    Does anyone have a suggestion or solution to this?  Is there an easier way to get itunes to play the track in the desired order?

    Either you have the list sorted on the wrong column heading or the track numbers are not populated. See Grouping tracks into albums for more info.
