Tapping and writing problems
Application problems
Problem Solution
When I tap the buttons or
screen icons, my handheld
activates the wrong feature. Calibrate the screen. See “Digitizer preferences” in Chapter 18
.
When I tap the buttons nothing
happens. If you have enabled Writing Area, you need to tap and hold
the button or other onscreen control until it activates. This
delay keeps the handheld activating a control while you are
writing a Graffiti 2 character.
When I press Function +
Menu , or tap the Menu bar
nothing happens.
Not all applications or screens have menus. Try changing to a
different application.
I can’t get my handheld to
recognize my handwriting.
■
Make sure you have turned on Writing Area. See “Writing
Area preferences” in Chapter 18 .
■
For your handheld to recognize handwriting input with the
stylus, you need to use Graffiti 2 writing. See
“Using
Graffiti 2 writing to enter data” in Chapter 3 .
■
Write Graffiti 2 strokes for letters on the left side and the
strokes for numbers on the right side of the screen.
■
Make sure that Graffiti 2 is not shifted into extended or
punctuation modes. See
“Using Graffiti 2 writing to enter
data” in Chapter 3 .
■
See “Graffiti 2 tips” in Chapter 3 for tips on increasing your
accuracy when you write Graffiti 2 characters.
Problem Solution
I tapped the Today button, but
it does not show the correct
date. Your handheld is not set to the current date. Make sure the Set
Date box in the Date and Time Preferences screen displays the
current date. See
“Date and Time preferences” in Chapter 18
for more information.
