Proposed OS changes to the phone function
- Why can't you pull up the dial pad in landscape? I use an OEM dock in my truck and every time I need the dial pad, it is always stuck in portrait. Same goes for call logs and contacts. If you bring up the call log from inside the phone app, they are locked into portrait.09-19-09 01:14 PMLike 0
- This used to work like this very early OS version 4.7.0.61 and below I believe. They locked it into portait mode so that people wouldn't make the mistake of talking on the phone upside down (because you used to be able to flip the screen 360 degrees at one time). I agree that there should be a happy median we could meet on this. After all, the way it is now, leaves the OEM charge pod a bit short of usefulness.09-19-09 01:35 PMLike 0
- Building upon this, I'd like to see them have a "righty/lefty" option under the screen/keyboard options to keep the screen rotation at 90 degrees. I never orient the phone in landscape with the buttons on the left. Even build in an orientation lock function per application because I personally don't like the phone app changing from portrait to landscape. I'd prefer the incoming call screen and everything phone related to be locked in portrait.09-19-09 01:40 PMLike 0

- Yet another great idea that RIM has seem to miss the mark on. Maybe one day it will happen (has he l l frozen over yet)09-19-09 01:44 PMLike 0
- Seriously! The funny part is, go to numeric keyboard and press a number then hold space for a 1 second... It inserts a decimal point and a space. On .167 it does anyway, I don't remember if it did on any other OS. Great if I'm composing sentences out of numbers!09-19-09 01:55 PMLike 0

- LOL, I was JUST going to post this complaint! I've been having to type a lot of numbers in lately with decimal points (not just OS versions) and it's DRIVING ME FREAKIN CRAZY!!! I wonder what brain (I use that term loosely) at RIM thought nobody would ever use decimal points in numbers?09-19-09 07:30 PMLike 0

- +1 about the decimal point with the numlock.And while we're adding improvements, how about making the calculator function buttons (+, -, x, /) all together instead of randomly placing them all over the keyboard... i swear, i've never seen a calculator laid out that way... was someone smokin crack when they designed that layout???09-19-09 10:18 PMLike 0
