Re: Undocumented feature? Hidden button between scroll wheel and home button?
i too pressed around the circle at first cause it was a completely different form factor than the mogul... so i tried to make sense of it by associating where it would be on my old phone. a couple hours later i just got curious and started pressing everything on my phone and stumbled upon it... a day later i learned exactly how the capacitive panel works..
you're not the only one, i've seen threads where people didn't know either... i would have hated it if we had to click close to the ring... I bet it makes using the dpad so much easier now for u! |

Re: Undocumented feature? Hidden button between scroll wheel and home button?
I actually had issues with my dpad for a little while. I thought it only did up and down, which was extremely odd.Tturns out, up and down worked best for me simply because of the design. They are close to the center button only because space permits it. The left and right respond much better when you go out farther, and not right outside the center circle. So for instance, go all the way to the right, and press directly in between the back arrow, and hang up button. It's so much easier to go right this way.
I know to some people this sounds amazingly retarded, but seriously, the dpad is poorly constructed and at first, it's most basic functions don't feel obvious.

you guys really are nicer than the folks on other forums, a question like this would get answered on other boards, but they would have definitely given the o/p the business lol

Re: Undocumented feature? Hidden button between scroll wheel and home button?
Wow, this IS great info!
So here's a question for everyone. Would you prefer to have it so that you could press the dpad, and all the "hard" buttons in the same way as you press the screen - with a minimum level of force? I think for me that would be much preferrable that having to apply all the force I do now. Or maybe slightly more force. The current full press is just clunky to me. It would be one thing if these were INDIVIDUAL hard buttons that you could discern, but you are basically pressing one button and it only determins what to do based on where your finger happens to be. Usually that'll be enough, but it just feels bad to me compared to pressing a discernable button (or a touch screen). |
