Capacitive buttons - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Hi all,
I have a general question regarding the capacitive buttons.
Is it possible to switch the "home" button and "settings" button?
is that something a rom could do or its impossible?

You probably mean home and menu and you are probably coming from an evo or evo 3d huh? Good question nonetheless but I don't have an answer, just replying because I'm probably going to mistake those two buttons myself coming from the OG Evo, lol.

hah you got it right, coming from evo 4g and 3d.

I went through with this when I got my NS4G from an E4G and then E3D before...
...give it a day and you won't even notice. I was just as disoriented when I went back to an E3D a few weeks later.

I think the point was if your phone has a problem, sprint will replace or fix it. Never knew that, good information.

Good to know that Sprint is still churning out Epson Evo's.

[Q] Where are all the trackpads?!

So, i know this really isnt quite the right place...but what ever...So i've been using the incredible for over a year now, and i've gotten really used to the trackpad; I love it. But i've noticed on most new phones, atleast the verizon ones, theres no trackpad!? What happened HTC?! so i was wondering, when flashing a rom with clockwork on a phone with no trackpad, how do you scroll? do you have to use the volume buttons? there are other issues with no trackpad...like the fatfinger selection, sometimes you go to click something, but its so close to another thing you click the other thing instead...does anyone else love the trackpad? this is kind of a big issue for me...i really love my dinc, but kinda want 4g and front facing camera (and has to be a htc phone; i like the home button where it is!!!) faster cpu would be nice too..but any way...i just wanted to vent and see if anyone else has put thought into this...i mean the dinc is a great phone, and with new roms coming out all the time(been running NilsP Business gingersense andro2.3.3 with sense 3.0) it can stay uptodate pretty well, but only on the software side...ok..i'm done...
You should have vented in the General Section. This doesn't contribute at all to any development.
If I've helped you, hit the thanks button!
Wrong section.
Don't hold me on this, but I think the HTC Desire Z/T-Mobile G2 was the last HTC phone with a trackpad..
edit: MyTouch series, also..
Hope a mod moves this to general.
I completely agree. I find the trackpad extremely useful at times. Without even thinking about it I go right to it.
The truth is the DInc is getting older. Although I have had it for two years and still f'n love it, its time will be up. There are many amazing and powerful phones coming out and its just gonna get better. Personally, I'm looking at the HTC Vigor or Samsung Droid Prime as my next device. They seem to me the only Verizon phones that could possibly live up to the Incredible legacy.

Well I'm pretty sure as your are in the minority. As most people, that I know anyway, don't use the touchpad and find it a waste of space.

+1. Don't use it, need it, or want it.
Trackball, yes. (Droid Eris)
Optical trackpad? No. Awful.
Volume keys work fine in recovery. And you can't get a hair stuck in them which causes your homescreen to scroll like crazy.

Oh man don't get me started on track balls... Those things suck... Do you know how many of those things fall out?!!? I've had the Samsung omnia (windows based smart phone) It was my first optical trackpad, damn thing was great even could change it to a mouse which was pretty cool...then moved to a moto droid, no trackpad of any kind until you open the kb, horrible design in my opinion. And how are you supposed to "hover" over a video(like on Bing) so it plays? I can hover over it with my trackpad with out opening it.

So... I just looked at the droid prime... Disappointed... They're taking of the physical buttons... I like my buttons below the screen.... Maybe the dinc will be my last phone.. never upgrade.... Ill just get a new 4g phone and pull out the cellular reciever and the front facing camera.. who needs a proximity sensor anyway?

[Q]when we get ics, does that mean the the hardware buttons will be useless?

so i was wondering after watching the software review for ics
http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/24/galaxy-nexus-hspa-review/
when ever we get the update in a 20 months or so lol, does that mean that we will not use the hardware buttons, they would be useless?

Short answer is no. For devices with hardware buttons, the on screen buttons will be hidden/disabled.
It's only for the Galaxy Nexus the haptic touchscreen button's , if your phone has hardware touch sensitive button's it'll work just fine .
thx i was just wondering =D this hype for ics is driving me nuts i want it soo bad lol
Nexus S has it and all is good.

correct, i saw already multiple ICS built for other devices, where you can basically turn it ON/OFF option to show or not show the fake soft touch buttons

NEW Sprint Phones With Keyboard????

Does anyone have any info on Sprint maybe getting a New android phone with a Hard keyboard this year??
I highly doubt it I think that would be a step back if anything.

How would that be a step back ?
Some people feel that keyboards are unnecessary on a phone. Also this appears to be most of the general public because typically phones with keyboards don't sell as well as their keyboardless counterparts.
I'm not one of those people... I can type faster and more accurately without a keyboard than I can with any touch keyboard - I'd rather be able to type exactly what I want than to have to rely on auto-prediction or have to hunt around on-screen for the symbol I want to type. I also hate the amount of screen real-estate that the keyboard uses up.
The only thing I miss from my Touch Pro 2 to this phone is the physical keyboard. I was hoping I'd get over it after a while, but I still miss it every time the auto-predictor guesses the wrong word and I have to go back and re-type it. Which fortunately since I use SwiftKey X isn't that often, but if I had a physical keyboard it wouldn't happen at all.
Unfortunately I don't have an answer to your question though - I was hoping there would be one in this thread

I miss my tp2 (well actually i still have it i just cant let go but its not active on a plan anymore) i loved the keyboard on it and then i got the Epic 4g cause of the keyboard then i started typing more and more on the touchscreen so i could get used to it for when i upgraded to Epic Touch 4g but its just not the same. I hate the auto-predictor i have many custom keyboards and swype to type faster but thats only good on quick text messages or very short emails but i use my phone for work and typing with the on screen keyboard long emails or sms is just a pain in the butt also all the screen real estate it takes up whenever i log in to one of my pc's through my phone and start typing it takes up to much space . my wife has the epic 4g still and i always go back to using that one for long emails.
There was a thread floating around here a couple weeks back that looked as if it was from an official Sprint memorandom. It stated that there was a new Epic 2 in the works. People were speculating that it may be an update to the Epic4G , in fact I believe qbking77 even did a video on it let me see if I can find it..I looked and for the life of me came up blank? sorry. I found this though.

i hope they do make an EPIC 2 but with the latest specs available and with atleast the size of the Epic touch 4g same shape as the Epic touch no round corners like the Epic 4g has.

You could always buy a small bluetooth keyboard and pair it with your phone.
dont want to have to do that especially cause the battery life
IMO keyboards make phones much more bulky and not worth it, especially since I can type just as fast with one compared to if I use Swype or Swift Key.
I work there and I haven't heard anything about a keyboard model coming out, not one worth getting anyway lol...

Getting s3 tomorrow

Have the epic touch 4g was just wondering is it a big g difference in between the phones... If so wjat are they and what are your favorite features of the s3
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Well, yes there is a big difference, one being no disgusting physical keyboard. Though if you need a features list of the phone, google can help you there. Though if on touch wiz, I personally like the smart stay feature, and the overall size and feel of the phone.

Just a FYI there is no keyboard on the touch hence the name touch. The OG is just a Epic 4G which I just came from.

Meh, now I'm confused, because I have a different device in mind. Glad they're going away from 'that' name set, because its just garbage.
Duh, the GSII...he should have just said that. But yea..
