I'm really loving my new TG50, for me it was a HUGE improvement over my aging NR70v.

One thing I can't stand on the TG50 is that darn power switch, its just placed at an awkward location for me and I often fumble to turn it on.

I noticed there is no way to use the back button hold to turn on/off the unit. What gives? This unit has such a good back button and jog dial, I really wish there was some sort of hack that could do so.

On the subject of hacks, it would be nice if there was a hack out there to alter the two round buttons next to the hardkeys.

just press one of the application keys to turn it on. Use auto shutoff to turn it off

yOyOYoo, I know just what you mean about the PWR switch - so I have set Zlauncher to turn off on extended push of the back button...

But I take it that you are not using it, so maybe give it a try...non one updates like ZZ Techs...

I use the back button to enable Graffiti Anywhere. That has made the TG50 *much* better for my uses, because I don't have to pop up virtual graffiti in order to enter graffiti text. It's a great solution.

I used ZLauncher on my NX70V, but after I gave the NX70V (too big) to my wife and got the TG50 I haven't installed ZLauncher on the smaller screen. I guess I should go ahead and do it. Any problems with ZLauncher on the TG50?

Other than the smaller screen???

(migrated from an NR70)

Naw...other than resizing all of my background pics...the only difference is that everything runs a heck of a lot faster...

Works like a top, but you have to hit the [Back] button twice (short-long) if you are in another app, but it is still a lot faster than fiddling for the power switch (I know that I am going to drop this puppy going for it...)
