Default Challenging touchscreen

Please Login to Remove!

Hi, the new 9900 is ok and i am sure with use will be great but i do find the inadvertent sending of unfinished emails and calling people i don't mean to call and opening web pages i didn't mean to open quite irritating after a while, is there any way of making the touchscreen sensitivity such that only quite deliberate finger input will have any effect?

Default Re: Challenging touchscreen

Is this happening while you're actually in the act of using it and you're accidentally pressing things or when its in your pocket? If it's the latter I would suggest using the lock button at the top of the phone.

Regarding touch screen sensitivity --
There is a double tap setting under Options//Typing+Language//Touchscreen Sensitivity.
The default is 350. I have also set the hover time to SLOW and unchecked the OPEN POPUP MENU ON TOUCH-HOLD.

The biggest complaint I had and solved is when SCROLLING using the optical track pad, I would hit a link and go off somewhere unwanted.
Solution -- Create a thumb-bumper --
1. Using black goriilla tape or electrical tape
2. Cut 2 VERY THIN 5mm strips with a razor blade
3. Carefully stack them on top of eachother
4. Tape the stacked pair above the optical trackpad
It is a bit of a McGyver move, but it works.
And only YOU know its there - vitually invisible.
