Is there any way to disable cover flow?

To me, cover flow is purely an annoyance and in no way enhances my ipod/iphone experience. In fact, every time I use the unit in a reclined position or in bed, I dread the coming of the moment when the iphone is tipped just so as to decide that I must now want to view its contents by album cover. I love the list view, and don't want to switch to an album cover view JUST based on position. I may be in the minority, but personally, I would never use cover flow if I had the option, and its forced use is extremely irritating.
It doesn't seem like this was well thought out: why is cover flow not treated as another way to browse your contents, and thus requires pushing a button at the bottom of the screen (like playlist/artist/song/etc. browsing does), rather than automatically becoming the default browsing mode based purely on the iphone's position (not considering what the user's position might be)? I have not applied any hacks or installed any 3rd party software to my iphone. However, were such a hack to appear that would allow me the choice to turn off coverflow, I believe I would forfeit the use of future updates.
Apple: please allow us the option to turn off cover flow in future firmware updates! I love the fact that the 1.1.1 firmware update gave us the feature of double-tapping the home button for quick pausing/unpausing of the ipod when the phone is locked! That was a great added feature, and I believe turning off coverflow (and the auto-rotation in general: safari, too) would be a great option for the iphone to have.

The best avenue for providing Apple such constructive feedback is via this link instead.

  • Question:-Is there any way to disable the installation location/folder of da Adobe AIR Application?

    Is there any way to disable the installation location/folder of the Adobe AIR Application or can we skip that part automatically?

    xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx"  is the spark mx address, which is completely different than the original 2006 mx library. 
    The thing is:  I love AIR, hate spark, loved the 2006 pre-spark functionality.  It is so much more convenient and user friendly.  Given the choice between having the display seperate from the  processing, or having it be convenient and easy  to work with, I choose the later option.
    For the most part it seems like the AIR api is like a layer on top of the spark - flex system..   I would like to be able to over lay the same AIR functionality on top of the the old system....
    Possible or no?

  • Is there any way to disable the use of the "Delete" key to delete an email message?

    It's very frustrating when I hit the delete key and iCloud automatically erases the selected email message.  I receive some HTML formatted emails that include a text box that I can utilize to directly reply to something.  If I don't make any mistakes at all, I can utilize this box and post a reply.  But if I mess up and need to delete text, instead of deleting text iCloud deletes the email message.  Is there any way to disable this?
    Thanks for your help.

    I don't believe it's possible to disable the delete key, but could be wrong. However, if you delete an email in error, you can restore it by pressing cmd + Z to undo the deletion.

  • Auto correct is making me look like an idiot. I have to go back and psychically spell check my documents now. Is there any way to disable it?

    Auto correct on my desktop Mac is making me look like an idiot. After I type it's changing words into other words I never typed and it even pushes words together that I'd typed a space in between in order to create new words that I never typed which make absolutley no sense.
    Now after I type a document I have to go back and psychically spell check my entire document the old fashioned way to make sure auto-correct isn't making me look like a clown who can't spell.
    Is there any way to disable "auto correct" on the desktop MAC and still keep spell check running?
    The amount of messages I've sent out with horribly misspselled words or errrors as a result  is maddening.
    HELP!!!
    Running OSX 10.9.1

    I had turned off auto-correct in the keyboard preferences, but in Mail all my spelling and grammer choices were grayed out.  The key for me — as Kingoftypos points out — was "For Mail, open a new message/reply/forward. Then go to the Edit menu and scroll down to the Spelling/Grammar."
    It would never have occurred to me to open a new message to be able to change the settings.
    Thanks, King

  • Is there any way to disable the firefox search option when you long press the home button on Samsung Galaxy S5 Active?

    I have an S5 Active and sometimes the home button sticks and registers as a long press which brings up Firefox search instead of going to the home screen. Is there any way to disable Firefox Search so that this doesn't happen. I Love the Firefox browser but if this keeps happening I will have to uninstall it.

    hello djpianalto, you could clear the default settings for firefox on android within the system settings (like described in this [http://www.howtogeek.com/195885/how-to-set-and-clear-a-default-app-on-an-android-device/ external article]).

    Yes.  Edit > Preferences > Parental, and check the box for "Disable - iTunes Store."

  • Is there any way to disable USB charging on N8?

    It might be a strange question. But many time, my battery still nearly full and I just want to transfer a couple of files. When I plug the cable in, it start charging right away. This may makes battery deteriorate faster. Therefore, is there any way to disable USB charging? Thanks!

    charging by usb isn't a problem , modern batteries do not suffer 'memory effect' just do what you want to do and don't worry about it . My N97 is connected to laptop most nights for anything from 10 minutes to an hour , no battery problem in 18 months and left on charge overnight every night . Enjoy your new phone and don't worry about a problem that doesn't exist

  • Is there any way to disable the expanding scroll bars in Mountain Lion?

    Since I never scroll by dragging the scroll bars with the cursor, I find the expansion of the scroll bars to be a distracting and even productivity limiting feature. Is there any way to disable the expansion of the scroll bars (perhaps with a terminal command)? System Preferences doesn't have an option to switch this feature off as far as I'm concerned.
    Thanks a lot in advance.

    No!

  • Is there any way to disable keyboard shortcuts?

    The number of times we've been doing a stream and someone has accidentily hit the spacebar and killed the stream is very anoying.
    Is there any way to disable the keyboard shortcuts so this isn't an issue?
    Many Thanks,
    Ady

    This might go into too much detail but I suspect since you're referring to a basic system function you're going to have to address this at a pretty basic level in the system operations which isn't always easy without major hacks.

  • Is there any way to disable the voice in atv2?

    I find the voice that announces all content very annoying. Is there any way to disable it?

    Go to the settings menu and find the accessibility options.  You can turn off the VoiceOver feature.
    Odd though as that is off by default. 

  • Is there any way to disable runtime schema validation

    At runtime Kodo appears to validate that all of the tables and columns
    referenced in the mapping table exist in the datebase. Is there any way
    to disable this. It takes an extremely long time for the validation to
    complete and although it may be useful during certain stages of
    development or to verify a new deployment it isn't really all that
    desirable.
    Thanks,

    Thanks!
