Cool Moto Q Tricks and Shortcuts

My awesome new phone!

Cool tricks/shortcuts on the Q:
In Internet Explorer, pushing the Space Bar will Page-Down
- To silence the ringer of an incoming call, move the scroll wheel down
- Hold down the spearkphone button to enable Voice Recognition
- During a call, the same button toggles Speakerphone ON/OFF
- Automatic Profile toggles between Normal and Meeting depending on your Outlook Calendar
- by dialing ##342587 You can Enable/Disable Dial Up Networking
- Did you know that when you are in Calculator mode that if you click the scroll wheel up it adds, and if you click it down it subtracts, and if you press in on the wheel, it is the same as pressing the = key! It is very fast to type in the numbers with one thumb while adding and subtracting with the other.
- Pressing any alpha key at the home screen will bring up the contact list...and filter the contacts based on the alpha key you pressed.
- When composing an email or SMS, in the To: field, press the Return button or Center D-pad to bring up your Contacts
- To bring up the recent call list, just press the "Space Bar" while at the home screen.
- You can press the home key, then space key to lock the Q
- Holding down the Home key brings up the "Quick List"
- To control your Volume Level with your Media Player.. Press & Hold the Trackwheel
- To use Call Waiting, use the wheel on the side as a button to switch between calls.
- You can pull up a special characters menu by pressing ALT then CAPS key while in a text box
- Holding down the email/light key turns the light off on the Q.
- When in Camera mode, Up and Down on the d-pad change the Zoom level (Still ONLY), and Left and Right on the d-pad change the Brightness
- If you press and hold the Enter key (far right), a menu to power on/off the Bluetooth/Phone appears

Great list. Thanks. My only comment is on the last Tip ... if I press and hold the "enter" key (far right) then it brings up the last application used (or the first app that is listed in the recently used apps list (top of home screen).
