i dont think so, but why you have to do so? the capacitive LCD is suitable for us with finger touch and if you need a less sensitive LCD, you should use older type of LCD e.g. nokia C6-00.

Is there a way of making the Touch screen less sensitive. -----Original Message----- From: talks-boun...@talksusers.com [mailto:talks-boun...@talksusers.com] On Behalf Of Allan Sent: 27 April 2011 13:40 To: Talks Mailing List Subject: Re: [Talks] some helpful notes for N8 and talks user you wrote: > 1.

What are the latest Nokia phones either with touch screens and pull out querty keyboards or, buttons. the latest in the market of course is the E7 which have the slide out qwerty keyboard and touchscreen. i personally dont recommend C6-00, N97 or N97 mini which have the simmelar design to E7. the different is on the touchscreen technoligy, E7 is much sensitive to finger touch because it uses capacitive LCD whereas C6-00, N97 and N97 mini uses resistive LCD. -- Allan (WKF) "Life is impermanent, happiness is not a necessity, a person must cherish the people around them." -----Original

talks user Importance: High note: this post may be not dedicate for all members, but hopefully can be useful to those that need it. secondly, sorry for my english as it is not my native. 1. turn off conversations view in messaging. this step will ensure messages will be view as like older nokia phones in the inbox, the default is set to conversations which is look alike the nokia browser. to set to inbox, go to "messaging -> options -> message view -> inbox." 2. set new alarm clock. talks 5.20 does not work correctly in edit field such as in the alarm clock. but however, talks user still can set alarm clock by themselves with the following steps. tap on the clock at the top left of the homescreen and the alarm clock screen will open, press on new alarm and now you can change the time/discriptions/repeat, downarrow to the discriptions field and bring up the virtual keyboard. so, to change the time, while the virtual keyboard is open, uparrow back to the time field and key-in the desire time. note, while at the time field, talks does not announce the button on the virtual keyboard when you touch it, so you need to be more creative. 3. the 2nd and the 3rd page of the homescreen for the N8 is useless for talks 5.20 user, therefore you can just remove it. dont worry, you can add the screen back on at the later time. 4. be-careful when handling the phone, as it has 3 method to unlock the screen and keys. the first method is of course using the unlock slider located at the right side of the phone. the second method is, press the power button once and tap the bottom center once and the screen and keys will be unlock. the third method is, press the menu key twice and tap the bottom center once and the screen and keys will be unlock. the bottom center as i am refering is when you slide your finger, talks will announce "middle", the same button also to change from page one to page two to page three of the homescreen. 5. there are times that talks make your phone hang, or maybe some apps making your phone unpleasant, and the wirst thing is you cant remove the battery, what you can do?. dont worry, you can have a soft reboot design special for N8 and E7. to do so, if your phone hang, press and hold down the power button about 8 seconds or until you feel 3 vibrates, and let go your finger. after the 3 vibrates, the phone is completely turn off, so just switch on again your phone as usual. 6. if you dont have unlimited data package with your cariour, you must be-careful when using N8, as it may eat up your credits very fast. however, there's a setting you can turn off before you insert your sim card into the phone. go to "menu -> settings -> connectivity -> settings -> data use in home country." you can choose between automatic/home network only/always ask/WLAN only. so, the best of course is always ask or WLAN only, this way the phone will not connect to the internet without your knowledge. 7. for talks 5.20, 2 new editional keystrokes added for N8/E7/C7/C6-01 phone, talks+power to call someone or answer calls. this keystroke can be useful in the following situations, in the contacts book, in a sms message or in the call log. the second keystroke is talks+longPower to put down a call. 8. for talks user, to switch between tabs, longpress uparrow, select the tab using up/downarrow and finally, longpress downarrow to select the tab and switch to the tab selected. 9. for talks user, you can switch profile or edit the current profile by tapping an icon at the homescreen below the date which talks cannot see it completely. the icon is at the bottom of the date and towards the right side of the phone. or alternatively you can use the power button, but the power button method did not allow to edit the current profile, it is only switching profiles. 10. the mail application in N8 is useable with talks. if someone need more details about it, i may have to write in another post, as it is quite long. 11. i also have found the method of editing the homescreen without a sighted help, but it is too complicated to describe or maybe i should fine a time to write it properly or even by the time, newer version of talks has fix it. i think this is what i can think off right now. if anyone need to ask more about N8 with talks, kindly reply to this post. i hope the mods allow it. -- Allan (WKF) "Life is impermanent,
