Accidently triggering capacitive buttons
 

Hey guys, anyone else accidentally triggering the capacitive buttons. I noticed that when you hover over them they activate. Is this normal? This is my first capacitive phone sooo.

Re: Accidently triggering capacitive buttons
 

Sometimes you can trigger a capacitive button if you're hovering over it fairly close. They go based off of disruptions in electron flow that are caused by our body's own energy. If your finger is slightly above the button, the phone might be sensitive enough to pick up the presence of your finger.

Might take some getting used to if you haven't used a capacitive device before, but it's nothing major. You should have no problems after about a week of using it ;)

Same for me. I keep hitting Search.

Re: Accidently triggering capacitive buttons
 

yeah after a bit of usage, It's still very easy to hit the search or home buttons when holding the phone in landscape mode.

Didn't seem to be as big an issue with my employee's Evo 4G. he did have a zagg screen protector over his though

Re: Accidently triggering capacitive buttons
 

Yeah, it's crazy, you don't even have to actually touch them! The screen is ultra sensitive too, I was trying to find a setting to maybe make everything less sensitive but couldn't find anything.

Re: Accidently triggering capacitive buttons
 

yeah i couldn't find a sensitive setting either

after one day of use, i'm used to it now.

haha, trying not to but still triggering that search button like nuts.

Re: Accidently triggering capacitive buttons
 

Yeah I miss CM.. I had the search button disabled.

Re: Accidently triggering capacitive buttons
 

For now, we are at its mercy. The best thing that worked for me was to get a case and that kept me from hitting the search button, especially when watching videos. But since there aren't any cases out for it yet, we have to get used to it til one drops.

Re: Accidently triggering capacitive buttons
 

There are plenty of cases for it!! In fact Sprint had 2 different otterboxes for it in stock!

Re: Accidently triggering capacitive buttons
 

Yes, it is driving me crazy](*,)

Re: Accidently triggering capacitive buttons
 

haha the worst is for typing in landscape mode... grrrrrr

Re: Accidently triggering capacitive buttons
 

still having this problem ugh... any ideas?

Re: Accidently triggering capacitive buttons
 

Yeah - that is the one that keeps happening for me as well!

Re: Accidently triggering capacitive buttons
 

I can't take a video without hitting one of the buttons and canceling the recording at some point. It is so damn annoying, because it's nearly impossible to hold the phone to take video or even take a pic without getting near those buttons.

"Your holding it wrong" Saint Jobs 2010, I couldn't resist :) After the first week I don't seem to hit those buttons much anymore.

Re: Accidently triggering capacitive buttons
 

I thought I wasn't hitting them as much... but I am... It's hard to avoid when rotating the phone
