Morning Everyone, what i would like to know is - is there any software that enables your PDA to be used by a left-handed person, now i know that all the right handers will laugh but it is a seriuos problem for us lefties...
So is there any software out there? i ahve googled but to no avail...
P.S. Just you wait until i build a left handed kitchen and make all you righties use it!
P.P.S. Long live Ned Flanders!
what is the problem for the lefties with this phone?
the position of the hardware buttons?
I'm right handed so i have no idea what this adaptation software should do.
i'm left handed and have no problems using pda's
so i'm not sure what the problem is
once read a test that showed that lefthanded people more often then right had a twin but the fetus that made it absorbed the other not sure if it's pure chance or a possible cause for being lefthanded
no transparent left hand ..
Hi ...
The most trouble left handed people have is that the scroll bar is on the "wrong" side.
when you scroll thru a list you can't see the list anymore your left hand will be in front of the stuff you want to read.
I am looking for a long time for a solution for this. In them main time I use the scrollbar from the top ( left hand above the screen) ... but you should see me work on the PDA .. you will lauch
As far as I know Bill Gates is also lefthanded .. so I ask myself does he even use WM2003 ..?

I was born left handed but my father imposed on me that I should be right handed. So the result was I am both left and right handed. I prefer using my left hand on my XDAII. In fact there are right handers who complain that this device is for left handers. I agree with them as I am very comfortable using it with my left hand than my right hand.
good thing i'm ambidextrous meaning i can use both my left and right hands for anything...but occassionally my left seems to prefer writing more than my right... :? .
cheers
Yup ... Sacnner was right - the scroll bars are on the wrong side
and yeah all you right ahnders will think us lefties are being petty but it really does get frustrating after a while
So nothing out there to help me?
i do remember nyditot as having orientations for left handed or right handed or landscape modes. it's the software which allows you to rotate the screen of the pda; downside is it's unstable with the xda2. i tried it once and had to do a hard reset coz it was screwing up my unit.
i just use a finger from my right hand when i need to scroll while using the stylus in my heft hand
Robson, whilst rotating the screen would indeed bring the scroll bar to the other side, wouldn't the screen be upside down at that point ?
cheers,
Alex.
well everthing we see are upside down when it go into the eyes and the brain turn it around so maybe brainSE would make it possible to rotate without doing a softreset [/b]

Correct. The scroll bar remains on the right with left or right landscape mode in WM03SE.

I'm left handed and I don't find it difficult to use the scroll bar. I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous though.
I'm left handed and don't have a prob with the scroll bar.
It depends how you hold the stylus - if you naturally write with the pen pointing away from yourself, it's not a problem, but if you normally hold the pen pointing towards yourself, your hand covers the screen and this can be a problem whether you're left or right-handed.
Hi all,
Looking at my lovely Rhodium's start menu, I just can't understand why HTC has placed three icons on a row and not four. By looking at it, I think there's more than enough space to add an extra icon.
Anyone smart found a way to do this? In addition, why do we have to scroll downwards? Why not 'flick' through pages (aka the iPhone does, sorry for using this word here ), either up and down, or from left to right.
Now you must swipe and the menu 'rolls', but I much rather had a menu which I could flick and a 'second page' would appear. This would make scrolling a lot easier and faster!
Have been searching XDA for ages now, but I haven't found any solution to this yet. Anyone any ideas?
this works on TP2

Hello everyone,
I just bought my desire and the first "annoying" thing is that I can't go back without using the hardware button. It would be nice to go back using a gesture like a slide from left to right (similar to the home pages navigation).
Since the display is quite big, you need to do some 'trips' between the upper part of the display and the bottom where the button is located.
Is there any utility tool which can accomplish that?
I assume because it would be rather confusing. What happens in apps that use the swipe gesture? If "back" is hard coded into the swipe gesture for the entire OS then apps can't use it. In the photo gallery swipe is for moving from one photo to the next...but if I accidentally try to share a photo and want to get out of that dialogue then I don't want swipe to move to share the previous photo instead...I want it to get out altogether.
I agree..in some applications makes no sense. Anyway, I need to have at least a soft button to go back on the upper or bottom of the display. Another solution is to have the back behavior only on some portions the display.
There is another problem which bothers me . The fonts are not so smooth..it looks like no clear type is available. Every letter have some very small pink pixels on the left side.In fact this applies for every vertical line. Is this normal?
has anyone else this pink pixels?

Er...no...never seen this. You need to get that checked.
RE pink pixels.
See this article and this XDA thread.

So just wondering if it's possible to make all menus open in the bottom or bottom left corner. Example, when I press my menu key in Gmail the menu opens at the top right of the screen where it's hard to reach during one handed use. I'd like all my menus to open bottom left so I can use my phone with one hand. I've tried hybrid settings but both phone/phablet modes don't seem to change that behavior.
Thanks

Personally I have never seen a menu open anywhere else other than the top right, with a few rare exceptions. Hopefully someone else has more knowledge on this to help you.
hi everyone. was wondering if there is a way to swap the placement of the back and switch windows/application on screen buttons. I would prefer to have the back button on the right since that is how it is on my galaxy s4 and am use to it being on the right side of the home. button. any help would be appreciated.

Me too (also have an S4). I would love to add the settings button also. Ideally, I guess I need extended desktop and whatever that half circle bar that's hidden until you touch the right side of the screen is called...
