Back button in Android? - Touch CDMA General

In WM, I can do almost everything using one hand. In android, I don't see an on screen back button. The only way to go back is to use my other hand to push the camera button while right hand holding the phone. My friend has Droid and it has a on screen back button. For Vogue, is this the only way to go back? I'm trying to learn to use my right hand palm to push the camera button to go back. BTW, I'm using Myn's ROM but I think all android rom's like this. I which I can reassign other button like the cancel button (red button) to go back. How do you guys handle this?

I usually hold the phone in my left hand using the pads of my fingers. I put my left ring finger on the camera button so I just have to sqeeze to go back.
Works well, and it gives me a chance to exercise those fingers

+1 here
you will get used to it
and when i use the phone with my right hand i use the very bottom of my thumb bone to press the camera button also in a squeezing motion

haha Yeah I'm right handed but I hold it in my left hand and can use it 100% one handed even better than wm.
pinky on back button, thumb on unlock, or screen depending on what im doing
I do it with my right hand too lol.

i do it mainly one-handed. phone balanced between four fingers and palm, index finger to hit menu, shift phone slightly and use distal thumb joint to hit back. big hands, i guess.

Wing Clear Storage (screen broken)

Hello,
I have a t-mobile wing with a broken screen. I'm sending it back for replacement but i want to hard reset before i do. Ive tried doing this by watching reviews on youtube to see how the menus are laid out, but i cant seem to get it right. Can anyone give me an extremely specific walkthrough?
or better yet, would someone let me call them or call me so we can walkthrough the hard reset together?
Also, I tried using the left,right softkey plus soft reset button and i don't know where to go after there. I'm not even sure if that worked.
i did this on my mda when i had a broken screen...all i did was use the actual buttons...i pressed the windows buttons used the directional button to move up and down, went to settings, used the dirctional button to move around and went to system, then used the directional button again to go to clear storage and that was it...
Can you tell me the button combination?

1. press the window button (or the start button, its the bottom left button on the phone has the windows logo).
2. go down with the joystick (the big directional button in the middle) and go to settings (select it with the button in the middle of the joystick)
3. using the joystick again go to system (its the second button on the bottom)
4. using the joystick again go to "clear storage" and select it with that middle button again (the one inside the joystick)
5. your done....
I have a broken screen i cant see where settings is. how many clicks down?
Or how many clicks up?

so you cant see anything??? i thought it was like cracked or something...anyways...here we go...ill try...
1.windows button
2. setting click up once, that should get you there or two clicks if you have the help button there...
3. click up once then click over right
4. click up once and down once then select that should get you to clear storage...
5. it will ask you to type the numbers 1234 and press yes which should be the button right button above the windows and phone button...
note: its a long shot because depending on where you left off last thats where the button will take you...if that doesnt work trying turning your phone off and trying it again to reset everything...
hope that helps

NICEEEEE
Thanks so much. it worked. Phew. now my tracks are covered. Not that i was over clocking or changing my page pool or anything. wink wink.
Oh and in case you were wondering. My phone dropped from my bed on to my carpet. And i don't know how it is physically possible but the screen cracked on the inside meaning when the phone is off it looks perfectly normal. But when i turn it on i get a crack and all white screen . Lame. I'm going to make them send me a new one.
I think what happened is that i charge it at night and i keep it under my pillow (vibrating alarm wakes me up) and i think it overheated and that caused the screen to crack not the 1.5 foot drop on to fluffy carpet. The phone shows no physical sign of damage.
glad i can help...

[Q] Unlock with one hand

When I take the Leo out of my pocket (right hand), I cannot reach the powerbutton with my thumb. I have to slide the phone all the way up in my hand.. After pressing the button the unlockslider appears at the top of the screen, so to reach it, i have to slide the phone down again. It takes ages this way I do have small hands, but I think larger hands wouldnt matter much..
So my question is: How do you guys power on the Leo single-handedly? Or is it just impossble to do it quick?
Yes that is a damn idea to put slider at the top..
in iPhone it is at the middle , its very easy to reach and unlock..
I have no problem with doing it, I hold the phone so its resting over my four fingers, bottom is level with the bottom edge of my little finger.
I can press all the buttons and reach the top of the screen, but im also one of the these people who can pinch to zoom quite easily with one hand.
I don't feel much comfotable powering it on by right thumb... I think I use the other hand sometimes. The unlockslider - try disable winlock (its in sticky) and use S2U2, the slider is at bottom.
No problem reaching the power button and after that the unlock slide (also with my right thumb), all without moving the phone up- or downward.

or just do a quick search for mods that shift the WM 6.5 lockscreen slider to the bottom of the screen.

Volume Control Buttons

hi all
i have a problem, im left handed so the volume buttons are hit constantly...
is there anyway to deactivate this buttons? ive tried looking for an app to reprogram but i cant find one
any ideas
thanks all
JT
try using your right hand anyway, i dont think you can, as you need them to boot into fastboot and stuff :\
glue them with superglue
i just tried holding it with my left hand is so many different positions... (not an innuendo!) and didnt accidentally press the volume buttons once..
how bizarre lol
maybe its the fact i used to holding a diamond, when i grip the phone it catches the piece of my palm between the index finger and thumb.
i'll have to screen lock more i guess
Maybe this will help?:

Btw, Shenshang - If you're left handed I guess you normally hold the phone with the right hand...

How to press Vol+ and Vol- at the same time?

Hi,
I just don't get it, I'm trying to Hardreset my WP7 (UltraFruit) but I can't press both buttons at the same time.. I start holding the two buttons before or while magldr counts 1,2,3.. In some cases I get tricolor screen with nspl, I found out this happens when I press only Vol- and the other case is it boots into WP7.. So can anyone explane me how to press these buttons at the same time? I find it very difficult as it is one plastic cover for two buttons..
Background: I have two microSD cards, one from Android and the other one is locked by WP7.. If I flash WP7 it doesn't work (with both cards).. Can hardreset help in this case to get one of the cards working with WP7 or do I need Nokia?
Thanks in advance
Hey there.
Here's what I do, when the phone is powered off. I have the phone sideways, screen facing right, and my left hand holding it, with my thumb on the right side of the phone and my middle and index fingers on the two volume buttons. Squeezing these three fingers, you can feel both volume buttons go down. You're right though, one plastic thing covers the two buttons so you have to squeeze hard. With my free hand, I power that mutha on.

How do you hold your Note????

I tend to hold my table vertically (maybe from coming from a Ipad) with the home button where its located it's impossible not to hit it or the back or menu button??? I know you can hold it upside down but just seems wrong? Is it just me? I hope I am doing something wrong???

If you're holding it vertically there is no "upside down". Upside down would be landscape with the home button up top. And that's why it has full rotation. You can hold it however you damn well please.
I'm digging portrait mode, holding it in my left hand and using my left thumb to hit the buttons.

I hold mine upside down sometimes, usually when i'm writing so i don't accidentally hit the buttons
If I'm holding the tablet in portrait mode, I hold it with my left hand with the home button facing right and I use my right hand to not the back button to go back on webpages etc. I do wish I can temporary turn off the home button and the capacitive buttons
I hold it with the button on the right (and I leave my back and menu keys lit at all times). Turning it this direction leaves the pen hole on top.
Get a fly grip gravity to hold it. www.flygrip.com
Sent from my SM-P600 using xda app-developers app
Not only how you hold it but how do you lift it from flat table using only one hand??? Impossible to do, big design flaw.
The small bezels on left and right side make it very difficult to hold in landscape mode, older version of 10.1 Note with speakers was somehow better. The best is Nexus 10. Best grip, best fit. My opinion.
