What exactly is the left hand user support? I've turned it on (since I'm a lefty) but what does it do/mean? Thanks

I just updated to 1.5 and the phone app seems the same as 1.0. How do I tell if cytown phone is installed right?

 

[andylulzyou]

Yeah I have Cytown options but the actual dialer itself looks exactly like 1.0

Is the pull-up dialer Linear specific?

 

[mr_brady]

I like the fact you can have the dialer rotate orientation, since I use the car dock frequently. The only thing I don't like is the dialer itself when in landscape orientation - you can't see any of the digits.

I'm not a lefty but I too was wondering this...

This should be sticky

 

[droidxdoes]

Disregard my post lol. I do have cytown phone

The left handed thing is only for making your screen cut off when you place it against your face.. it allows the other corner to be a trigger for shutting it off.

How do you get the dialer slide up/down? I don't have that on mine...

 

[Zaphod-Beeblebrox]

I too do not have the slider.

Also, I had looked into CyTown Phone some time ago as a solution to Landscape orientation while in call (Blur does this, but AOSP does not). However, It doesn't look like it's doing landscape while in call here?
Is it supposed to?

No this will not provide a landscape option while in call such as the Blur dialer does. Sorry....

 

[MoeDaddy]

So nobody knows how to get the pull up dial pad? Looks cool would love to have that work on mine...

To be honest I am not sure how Bgill does that LOL we will have to wait for him to answer that
