XDA II WM2005 Navigational Button

[ttseng]

On WM2003SE or WM2003, I can use the navigational button to navigate the call history and speed dial function. But after I upgrade to WM2005, those function seems disappear. Does anybody experience that problem and how to get it back those functions. Thank you

Not sure what you are talking about, but on mine, I can still use the Navigational DPAD to browse my Call History and Speed Dial... :wink:

thats the some with hardware butons camera and record
people who camera and record butons doesnt work navpad does work also?
al butons in my xda are working as expected .....

I've the camera and record butons working, but navigational DPAD doesn't.
Well, once the phone dialer is runnig, I can't use anymore the DPAD, left or rigth movements to call respectively the "Speed Dial" and "Call History" (very incovinient).
Instad the only way now, is to use the soft buton "menu" or the butons at the dialer.
Off course, once the "Speed Dial" or "Call History" functions are activated, the DPAD can be used again to navigate up/down inside

I still don't get it!

What's so hard about using your thumb to press the respective on-screen buttons instead than the DPad? They're just a couple of centimeters appart? :roll:

.. you would avoid the finger prints on the touchscreen...
and less finger movements required, cause all actions, left, rigth, up, down, would be in the same pad.

Good point, but then how do you manage not to get any facial grease on the display while talking? (don't tell me you ALWAYS use a Bluetooth headset!) ;)

Besides, this devices are meant to be used with the stylus or fingers (I know it's a personal choice, but...), just use a decent screen protector and lens cloth to clean it from time to time and you are done.

And if you are so paranoial about finger prints, grease and finger movement, why don't you get a smartphone instead? (that reminds me, don't you ever type SMS or text? 'cause that's one hell of finger movements) :D

Got your point. You're rigth.

But why not to have a simple functionality
- when it is simple to implement
- it was previously available
- and you're already used to it

I can tell you, I used it always this way with WM2003.

That's my point.

Okay, I will not argue with that, you are right! ... :?

I mean, I understand that WM5.0 by nature, it's supposed to be more one-hand-friendly so the DPAD is supposed to be used for one hand opperations and that's true in the rest of the interface, so you ask WHY NOT ON THE DIALER?!? :roll:

But I would go even further... WHY THE HELL MICROSOFT DIDN'T FIX THE RECURRENT ALARMS ON WM5.0????? :evil:

But that's another story!!! :lol:

Cheers!
