Hello all,
as I have mentioned earlier we can keep 20 frequently dialed numbers
in a single folder on the home screen through direct dial.

Bluetooth earphone+bluetooth keypad would be the best alternative to
deal with such situations.

Hello Friends,
After reading some of the mails in this thread, I wish to suggest an
alternative way to handle the touch phone in crowd places. Bluetooth
may be one among the options before us to consider. We can access
basic features using blue tooth in android mobiles. Moreover, we can
create some short cuts for important numbers in the home page.
Thanks and regards,

My experience with touch screen is good except dialing by holding and
dialing with the same hand. If my both hands are free, I can fully enjoy
the
touch phone. When compare to keypad phones, Finding items, using apps,
scroling are more more easier than keypad phones. We have to press arrow
keys many times to find an item from the list, but this is not the case
in
touch screen. If we know the position of the desired item, we can
directly
go to that areaa. Using headphone is good idea in a crowded area. For
dialing with one hand, headphone is not a solution. because we have to
use
both hands to connect headset. if then we can dial by holding in one
hand
and touch with other hand, no need headset. For one hand dialing, I have
recently updated DW dialer to get the latest feature i.e, dialing when
lifting the finger. This is the feature I was waiting for. Now, I can
dial
numbers more efficiently with one hand. But when swiping through the
keypad,
unwanted numbers also get typed which is irritating. Most of us using
Android 4.2 and above version, so they may not have such problems with
the
default dialer. But I am having 4.1 version.

Hi all,
After reading so many mails on the subject, I firstly fail to understand
that why some of the so-called champians who have mastered over touch
screen
feel that everybody is going to learn this in similar manner? this
thread
nowhere had any intention to criticize or praze any of the platform but
its
intent was to find solution for a very genuin issue with touch phones.
Some
said this might discourage new buyers to move on to touch screens but I
feel
the other way. If we are able to find solution for this, this would
indeed
add value for those who are considering to move on to the touch. Now
coming
to the issue, Mohib: I can use my iPhone effectively for calling
and/dialing
in any sort of environment with one hand but some times find problems in
crowded places while typing long messages/emails but can manage for
short
messages. Depending on the environment, I use different solutions like
using
voice input or earphones. However, given the fact that we also need to
depend on the sound clues while walking, using an earphone may some time
lead to some undesirable consequence so would not suggest to use it
while
walking and that too, when walking with a cane. So, I generally prefer
to
avoid typing long messages/emails while on the move and preffer to do
this
once settled down unless it is very urgent. For calling, one can use
"Favorites" in iPhone to add some frequently called contacts for easy
access
while on the go.
With best regards,
Satguru

Hi Satguru, I have changed the subject and we can discuss the matter
here in this thread.
I am using android moto g for quite some time now. The most difficulty
I have faced with the device is that I am totally handicapped using my
touchscree
