Only Android would have a difference between SII and S2... thanks, I wouldn't have been able to find my own thread!
TouchWiz is not something I have on either of these tablets... at least, as far as I know. From what I read on a quick search it's only for phones. It's certainly nothing I can find in the .pdf manual using the search function - but then again, I can't find much of anything using search!
On my Tab 3 the row of 5 apps that follow the pages are called Primary Shortcuts. On the S2 they are called App Shortcuts. Using the search (in the pdf manual) putting in "App shortcuts" returns zero results! Go figure.
At any rate, when I enable screen rotation, the App Shortcuts row remains on the bottom of the page no matter what the screen orientation is. I normally have the screen locked in the landscape mode and only use portrait on apps that only work in that mode. Oh well, while I know I won't get a response, I will still send Samsung a nastygram regarding this. There's a couple of other things they've managed to screw up as well, such as not being able to access the home screen using the Handy Soft Key function. With my Tab 3, if I used the HSK I could either touch the screen and return to the home screen (leaving the current app in the background), close a specific open app or close all of the open apps. For some silly reason they have made it so that I can only "close all." It's not a big thing but it's something I got used to doing on the Tab 3. I'm sure that within the next few months of using the S2 that I'll find something much larger to complain about.
Of course, whenever I really start to hate my Android Tablet... I mean, really, really hate it, to the point of wanting to smash the thing on the ground - I just use my wife's iPad for a while and suddenly things don't seem so bad after all.
Cheers,
Mike
