When I text I turn my phone horizontal so that the top of it is to my left. I tend to rest my right thumb at the (now) top right corner, near the search button. But it's very far to the corner where I rest it. My mic/voice thing is constantly being activated and I don't know what I'm touching that is making this happen. I think it's the voice search and I can feel that I've hit a button of some sort but I don't see one. What am I missing?
long pressing the search button pops up the voice search. probably a way to disable it somewhere.
Aha! Thanks. I'll have to not have such a tired and lazy thumb.

I tried jogbutton because I thought it added controls to the center bottom button on pocket pc with wm2003. I was disapointed to find out it only modified the contact button. Hopefully someone will find a way to and something like press and hold to launch fonix voice or something. Let me know if there is. Thanks, John :wink:
Think about it, the centre button is actually a d-pad, not a button to be assigned.
Yeah you could have holding down UP = launch a program but imagine the times where you've held it down for just too long and whoops. Instead of scrolling through the list of text messages you get a program come up.
I'd not want any extra functionality on the d-pad, except maybe in games.

Double Launcher will give you four functions for each of the two top buttons. Excellent app, highly recommend it! Dirt cheap too.
I dont really use the center button for scrolling so that wouldnt bother me and cant you also press in the center of the button. It just when im driving its a pain to shuffle the phone down so I can press one of the top buttons when I am using voice dial so often. K'now what I mean. :wink:
When I try to click on the navigation ring to go left or right, it always seems like I click on the phone button or the hang up button instead of navigating right or left. Am I doing something wrong?
outside the "ring"

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I had the same problem (and don't like the nav much actually). You need to press completely outside the circle. If your finger is pressing inside you will be pressing that center button down, not navigating left/right/up/down as desired.
Once you start doing it, it gets easier.
same here. it's like learning to click the "x" button now instead of hitting "ok" on the ol' mogul. just takes getting used to. I've found ways around using this (like using the touch circle thingy in calendar to go fwd/back a day instead of using left/right nav)
OK button
I really miss the OK button. A lot!
OK button missing
At first, I remapped the PTT button, b/c I too missed the ok button.
But I read on a forum that most of the time pushing the end call button does the same thing, and I'll be darned if it doesn't work like ok. Granted the app minimizes, but atleast it closes.

The back button works like OK most of the time as well.
For the OP, do not press the ring AT ALL to navigate. The buttons are outside the ring completely.
I have searched around and haven't seen anything about this yet...
I use swype primarily and occasionally have to hit the swype button (first one on the bottom row) to correct a word but I fat finger and hit the home button. This is a pain in the butt because when I use handcent in quick reply mode I lose everything that I write. My question is, is there a way to change the amount of time required to hit the home button before it actually goes home...or change the sensitivity maybe so I have to jam it?
Thanks guys
Since its a...hold the home button, then Swype up to the virtual icon that pops up to activate Google Now.
Any ideas as to what they will do? I knew this button thing was a bad idea. :cyclops:
I think (though I may be mistaken) you can also access Google Now the same way you access voice search (the mike icon on the search bar on the home screen). This would obviously be much less convenient, though.
In my opinion they should kick s-voice to the curb! but thats just me
That's right...double tap brings up Voice. Maybe that's what they will do. Sucks that because of S Voice...there is a slight pause after pressing the button once to get back Home.
simple, replace long-press menu.
They might implement re-assigning the home button function, JB Voice looks pretty sweet.
I have a nasty problem. driving me NUTS and now I figured it out (but not a solution)
I would be typing away on my note II and BAM bunch of too fast to see menu's and I am somewhere else or something else happens. SO annoying.
I FINALLY figured out WHY its happening
the edges of my palms (thumb joint on my hand) are "PRESSING" into the corner of the screen when I type randomly
so my left hand would touch the "menu" capacitive button (this is why I love hard buttons) and I tap the keys so fast that the menu appears and before I even notice it I had tapped the screen 2 or 3 more times taping random menu options etc..
or worse my right hand touch the back button and POOF on a different screen OR the keyboard goes away and I tap a "link" that was under where the keyboard was etc..
SO anyway to fix this? app hack mod to keep this from happening?
maybe make it so I have to multi tap those keys (IF the keyboard is on screen) within a certain time span for it to register?
so 2 or 3 rapid "taps" otherwise it ignores those 2 buttons being pressed (but only when the keyboard is open) ??
thanks!
