I saw a nifty thing on a nokia the other day (i've not been a nokia owner for about 7 years so this may have been around for a while already)...
double tapping the screen, anywhere, shows the time...brilliant.
Got me thinking if it is possible to define an action for a double tap on the screen of the touch hd. A double tap anywhere on the screen and not linked to the location of the tap. Is there any way to recognise a double tap (and then ignore the location of the tap and run some other defined event instead)?
This would be great functionality if it existed.
Just a thought/request.
cheers, cojo
p.s. still waiting to find a way to turn the hd on without using the power button or stylus withdrawal..!
I'm putting out a request to all developers in compiling this app.
My idea is based off the function of the dialer curtain. Only, this app will have the option of using a transparent curtain or custom curtain (blank, wallpaper, etc.) and the curtains can be activated at any time for any reason, and then of course, be deactivated.
To be a little more detailed, one could use a capacitive swipe upwards from the send key to the home key (and activate transparent mode), or from the end call key to the back key (to activate wallpaper mode), to initialize the program. Upon initialization, the screen wouldn't be immediately covered, only a click and drag icon would appear at the top and/or bottom of the screen. Clicking this icon and dragging up or down would extend and retract the curtain and the curtain could stop wherever you lift your finger (you could use the curtain to partially cover the screen). Reactivating the program while running would simply close it (meaning another swipe upwards of the capacitive area would put away the curtain AND button).
An added option would be to double or triple tap the curtain button once the curtain has been put in place to lock the curtain in place. (even locked so that capacitive swipes won't close the program.)
I feel this could be very useful in many area's and for all types of user's from parents to porn addicts as well as for business. (<---that's sounds kinda F'd up in an ominous pun kind of way.)
Just to name a few
(e.g. Porn addicts could use it for privacy purposes in public. Parents could use it to cover the start menu while in a paint app and let their child play with it without worry, and business when you're multi tasking and need to walk away for a min and want to lock/hide the screen without closing apps or putting your phone into suspend.) Not to mention a fullscreen dialer curtain!
So what do you all think? I know there are apps that can do parts of this which is why I'm asking multiple developers to compile their certain segments.
Please and Thank You!
*Edited* A better way to lock it could be if the curtain button was able to slide left and right. When it pops up, it would start on the right side. when you let go and then touch the button again, you could slide it to the left side of the screen and it would lock. ( Because the button actually sits just above the curtain, when you drag to the very top, the button wouldn't exit the screen and the curtain wouldn't cover the start menu. Same thing for dragging down, it wouldn't cover the softkeys. But when you performed the locking action, the curtain would merely slide up or down the rest of the way. eh?!?!
Is this not that good of an idea? I noticed people have at least looked at this but not a single comment? No body backs this? disagrees? is too busy? i'm kinda disapointed.
Sounds to me like this is another locking application with features of both S2U2 and Touchlock Pro. Would you agree?
yes and no. More like a combo of butler and the HD dialer curtain with visual interaction/amusement. I'm a big fan of using gestures and seeing things work rather than just relying on adequate lighting or waiting for a vibration.
Mainly, this style of locking app allows you to lock out certain parts of your phone with ease, while still being able to use other functions.
To me this is not really another locking app! I actually like this idea. Has some possibility in it! Good thinking
I'd like to disable three btutons if possible...
Those two soft keys on the keyboard (for the bottom left bottom right of the screen buttons if you know what i'm refering to; if not.. the one that closes your sms when you accidently hit it!!)
If i could get it app specific thath would be awesome; could disable those for messaging app then disable the center select from the four way directional for the emulator i use;
Problem with the meulator is that button PAUSES the game
Any suggestions? Short of ripping them off? (Totally willing; it's frustrating.)
Dear all,
I just got my X1i. I find that the sensitivity of the screen is OK but when I quickly tap twice consecutively, for example when typing using on-screen keyboard where I will tap twice very quickly, my X1 just senses my input as a long click. For example when I am using notes, I put one finger on the left side and another on the right side. When I tap on the right then lift up my finger, and quickly tap on the left, it will result in a staight line instead of just 2 points.
Are there any tweaks I can do in the registry to minimize the time to wait for another tapping? So that it can recognize a new tap as soon as I finish my first tap?
Sorry for my poor English.
Anyone knows how??
ok, so ive noticed that sometimes when i pull down the notification shade that my first tap doesnt get recognized....but if i close the shade and reopen, then my finger press gets recognized. or when i try to tap on one of the 'recent' applications section of the shade, i need to double tap sometimes.
sometimes to a lesser extent, i notice this in the market when i press the search box too. most times though everything gets recognized with a quick tap instead of needing a firm delayed tap or double tap.
anybody think this is a bug?
ive looked around a little and nobody seems unhappy with the touch sensitivity/grounding so not sure what to do...
but ive never had it happen on the lockscreen or launcher bar or other programs that i can remember either.
This happens to me sometimes. It doesn't bother me. It may be a small bug but I suspect it is actually the trackpad pulling focus. Sometimes the trackpad will detect a slight input and place focus on a nearby screen icon or menu item, depending on which type of screen you're on. The focus highlight is subtle and hard to notice so that "first tap" might actually be your finger pulling focus back to your intended selection. Your second tap opens it.
