Disable touch scroll wheel (dpad)
Anybody know how to do this?

I thought this feature would be useful but I just find it annoying. Every once in a while I'll be texting someone and accidentally change the size of the font.

Re: Disable touch scroll wheel (dpad)
I haven't really tried disabling or doing anything to it as it doesn't really bug me but use a registry editor and search for SmartTouch or Smart Touch. I know I remember seeing a place where it identified which programs it was enabled for. Maybe you could just selectively disable it for tmail.exe (mail and txt msg app).

diamond tweak will allow you to change the settings and enable/disable it in specific applications

Re: Disable touch scroll wheel (dpad)
I recommend using Diamond Tweak to change settings and examine the registry before and after. That way the exact reg edits can be identified.

Re: Disable touch scroll wheel (dpad)
+1, This thing is really starting to piss me off. Trying to call ppl and it keeps missing the target. When i go to hit the center button for the person i want to call it scrolls up or down and calls someone I DON'T wanna talk to.
