Re: Direction Pad?

This drove me crazy as well so here is the workaround I came up with that helps me. Using the keyboard mapping utility (which also works on all of the hardware buttons), I mapped the volume buttons to act as up/down on single click and as volume control on long press (so I don't actually lose the volume function when I need it). Then I mapped the Phone End key to "Enter/Select" on single click and "Hang Up" on long press (again so I don't lose this function when I need it). So now I have basic up/down/enter d-pad functionality with the existing buttons. Haven't mapped the left/right yet, but I don't use that very often anyway.

Re: Direction Pad?

Sooner or later (hopefully) someone will make a touch dpad software for the screen.
