Hi all...
does anyone know how well the dpad (or the wheel thing) works..
so for example will be able to play games on it... like... a driving game in hori mode??
thx for any help
i will be upgrading from a tytn, so i wanna make sure that it would be better than upgrading to tytn2
It is a technically much more competent device than the tytn 2, but I would have to say that playing games on it would be harder, at least until the tilt sensor is incorporated in to game controls !
thx buddie
but is the touch round (bottom, centre) still able to work as a dpad?

The button in the centre is just that -- a button (i.e. not a DPAD).
The directional controls (DPAD) are around the button just on the perimeter of the round light that surrounds the centre button.
I would have to say that playing games with the DPAD on the TP would be horrendous since there is a tendency to press the Home, OK, Phone and End Call buttons accidentally when pressing a direction. This is fine in daily application use because you can "train" yourself to learn the DPAD but in a game setting it would get frustrating to say that least.
I hope this helps.
I was using the diamond in a store the other day and couldn't get the hang of the dpad. I was surfing the web and couldn't jump in the right direction with the links and I kept accidentally launching links that I was trying to jump from. Th dpad seemed like a horrible design. Is it something that a user can get the hang of to the point that it will seem as easy to use as any dpad?

I hardly use it, and from what I can tell the Touch HD (HTC Blackstone) does not even have one (but I might be wrong on that) when web browsing I zoom in on a link I want, tap on it and then read the result zoomed out !
Up / Down buttons are still usable, but left / right are horrible. It's very easy to press home or green button while using them.
Seems HTC is trying to make us stop using it, so they can drop it from their phones
Hello everyone, I'm a tilt user. One thing I like about the tilt is it's right handed keyboard. (meaning you can use the D-pad with your lefthand and use the stylus with your right hand.)
I'm not sure yet if the Fuze is the upgrade for me, and I wont know until I can get some user input. (and try it out for myself of corse!)
For you right handed people out there... what's it like having a keyboard that slides out the other way? Some games I play I use the D-pad as moving around and the keyboard to shoot/open/strafe/etc... AND if there wasn't that annoying touchscreen bug that slows everything down, I could actually use the stylus AND the D-pad. With a landscape left device I wouldnt be able to do this (unless I trained myself to be left handed, or atleast have a steady left hand).
I was wondering if any of you could try out some games and emulators? Also let me know if the annoying touchscreen bug still persists? I'll go to the AT&T store tomorrow and play with one, maybe bluetooth some files over from my tilt and do some tests lol.
so, to sum up everything up above^^^
1. does it run games at a better speed than the tilt? Can it run emulators at an enjoyable speed?
2. Does the Touchscreen bug still persist?
3. How is the change from using the tilt's right handed keyboard to the Fuze's lefthanded keyboard?
thanks!
Don't laugh. But I was playing Modern Combat 3 (FPS game) today, and I wondered if it would be possible to program the volume buttons to shoot and reload?
I'd really love to stop touching my screen for an extended period of time so much, it's leaving smudges that I cannot remove.

I think If it is possible it would be hard to realize without application sources. Just buy a gamepad
This for sure can be done, but it's the matter of software hack-arounds and doesn't have much to do with HW Hacking.
I can imagine this could be an app working in the background with root privileges, capturing VOLUP/VOLDOWN key events and translating them into virtual touchscreen presses.
hold finger - shaking
Subj ;(
If i hold my finger on the screen, scrolling shake for 1-2 pixels up/down ;(
So games like terraria or tower of hero can't do drag and drop - apps think i scroll screen , not a hold! ;(
Anyone with same problem?
Any one know how (or any app help) to keep touching screen without finger?
My idea is for game playing. I'd to keep finger touching screen at a possition. Then instead of releasing my finger, now I can click a button - so it stops screen touching . It's easier for my game playing in some way.
Thanks in advanced.
