I have been using Nokia 920 since one year now, and to be
honest I am quite satisfied with the phone. Some features of the phone are not
as straight forward as it is for Android phones and I had to research and tweak
with the phone to get them done. Some of the functions or shortcuts which do
needs a mention are specified below. You will get all these shortcuts if you
Google them, but my intention was to club all of them together so that this
page becomes a one stop for all such shortcuts.
Disabling auto complete
Well auto complete is good while
writing texts to your friends but to some extent. At some times auto complete
feature will simply annoy you since it tries to guess each and every word you
type finally giving the message a complete different meaning. Especially when
you try to write your mother tongue in English and it simply tries to embed English
words forcefully. I always wanted to disable it and finally got how to do it.
Settings
--> Keyboard --> Your Selected Keyboard and then disable auto suggest
Taking screenshots
Nowadays smartphones can be used
to do almost everything that can be done in a computer. In such a scenario
there are situations when we need to take a screenshot of the page present on
our screen and save them as an image. Yes that feature is available too and is
pretty straightforward unless you don’t know how to do it.
Press both Power Button and Windows
Button together
The picture will be saved to a
folder named Saved Pictures
Scrolling Up and Down in text editor
The other day I was typing about a
situation that happened to me and wanted to send it to my friend. The message
got too long and as usual I was not able to see the top part on the screen. To
the utmost surprise I was unable to reach to the top of the message no matter
what I do. That really irritated me a lot. That day itself I started to search
how to do it and finally got the way.
Press
and hold for some time then scroll will appear. Then you can use this scroll to
move up and down
Getting to middle of a typed text
Normally when typing a text we
keep on typing and changing words. When it comes to touch screen mobiles
changing an already typed word becomes difficult and we end up erasing all the
words till that word and type in the whole message again. To get to the desired
position and change words this is the way.
Long press at the position where
you want to go and then the cursor will move to that position.
Copy a part of text
There are sometimes when it is
necessary to copy a part of the text for no matter what the reason is. Copying
a part of the text is too easy but you need to know them. This is how it is
done.
Click the word from where you
want to copy. This will select the word. Then simply
drag your finger till the word u want to copy
This is an evolving post and I will keep adding things as I
keep discovering them. If you found it interesting and helpful then do hit the
like button. If you believe in helping others, then do post your discovered
shortcuts as comment and eventually this will become the one stop destination
for many Windows Phone users.
