Latest PlayBook OS 2.0 STILL doesn't have any kind of scrolling direction lock!
- Can you please record a video of you scrolling on an iPad while holding it one handed as well? would love to compare the two.
as everyone else has stated, you're flicking your thumb diagonally, and the page is scrolling diagonally. JUST AS IT SHOULD. the iPad does the same thing if you flick diagonally. it only scroll-locks when you do a bit of a hold and scroll.Last edited by southlander; 01-07-12 at 09:07 PM.

Playbook does have scroll lock
Slide your finger up and it locks vertically
Slide your finger sideways and it locks horizontal
Slide you finger diagonally and it allows a free scroll
To stop the lock you have to take your finger off.
Here is a video:

iPad handles this wonderfully. This happens when page is fit to width by double tapping.
The customers wouldn't get a good first impression of the product on retail demo units in stores.
RIM, Fix the basic scrolling!
Hasn't anyone else been annoyed by this?
So from your title, I don't know if you know this, but the 2.0 beta that's available to download right now is not "the latest and greatest" that RIM has at the moment and they put it out for user testing of the OS. This beta is for developers to start working on apps that are compatible with 2.0. For more info check out the blackberry.com/beta site.01-07-12 11:29 PMLike 0 - Watched the OP's video, it's user error. Someone in this thread already posted how to use the scroll lock, that will take care of your "personal diagonal swiping issue". There is nothing in that video that is the fault of the software..
Nice try though, but I think it's time the mods put this thread to bed (close/delete it).01-07-12 11:40 PMLike 0 - Watched the OP's video, it's user error.

- really dude, really???
stop finding faults where there are none. Here i was expecting to see some opposite swipe movements or something.
And i'm tired of ppl making complaints about a dev build, jeez. oh os2 doesnt wipe my @ss for me.Last edited by avaio; 01-08-12 at 02:47 AM.

I know exactly what you are talking about. These ppl on here saying its a non-issue just haven't used iOS enough to understand. I have owned the iPad 2 and PB and I am currently using an iPhone 4 and kindle fire. The kindle has a similar issue. Its not too big of a deal for me but it might be for you and that's okay. Everyone has different needs but that's something people forget and jump on you as soon as you say something negative about the PB.01-08-12 06:34 AMLike 0 - Yo OP,

Your video is quite obviously a contrived trolling post and you're quite obviously putting much effort into acting like it's not. In case you haven't noticed, nobody is buying that you're sincere so please stop stirring other forum members up when you're the one at fault for posting what is quite obviously a deliberately ridiculous video. We found it humorous until you started threatening other forum members. It's not funny anymore. Now I'm going to encourage my fellow community members to start reporting this thread for moderation so we can stop this nonsense.01-08-12 08:45 AMLike 0

Sorry, I use Ipads as well as my PBs and neither has a scrolling issue. You're obsessively finding a fault where none exists.
What I would like to see added to iDevices is better swiping controls, the Home button is a clunky way of controlling app transitions and device management. Especially if the device is rotated and you're now looking for it somewhere on the bezel. This is more consistently annoying, especially when other devices have come up with complete on-screen control methods and Apple is still running the interface they came up with in 2007.
That is my biggest gripe with running any Apple product. Oh, they do scroll fine, just like my Playbooks. No problems thereLast edited by vorpalz; 01-08-12 at 08:51 AM.
