There, you've just seen/heard from a few ;p

"Gamer's thumb" has been a term used for a long while, and it directly refers to the flesh on the middle part of the thumb. As you can see from the first thread, most people into fighters use the middle, while people who play other games use the tip/both.

Per first link:

"When its fighting games, I've always used the middle of my thumb. Its because of that habit, that I try as much as possible to use a joystick, because I always end up getting callouses from playing a lot of fighting games. Only recently I've been trying to use the analog stick instead of the D-pad for fighting games, when I'm too lazy to pull out the trusty joystick."

"Sometimes I use the tip of my thumb if I'm playing something that's not too intense like an RPG, but I use the middle part when I want precision. I have what they used to call "Nintendo thumb" from the NES and SNES days. Mostly from playing SF2 with a SNES pad I think."

"I use the midsection for the d-pad, face buttons, and analog sticks."

"I use the bottom/middle mostly."

"I think most people use a combination of both."

"The "top" part of my thumb never touches anything. I kind of roll my thumb around and the middle/joint part does all pushing. My thumb is always straight as a board."

Your welcome! The diagonals dont have to be trained on the emulators i use:

Snes9x, tiger gba, tigermame, gensoid, n64oid, fpse, gearoid, ill post my games home page just to wet your appetite!!
[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
A long time ago, something called analog stick appeared, and most people (emphasis on most) started using it as it is a much more efficient way to perform diagonals than most D-pads, which are much better suited for giving simpler directions (Up, Down, Left, Right).

Actually, most people who do play fighting games seriously (as in, hardcore fighting gamers) won't kill their thumbs with the D-Pad, but they'll acquire a good dedicated fighting stick such as this: http://www.amazon.com/PS3-Fighting-Stick-3-Playstation/dp/B000MWE3BI

Personally, I use the analog stick mostly, and I am up to any challenge in Soul Calibur 4 :D
[Xperia Play General] zerojay:
I'm a competitive fighting game player and game developer. The few people that don't use arcade sticks all use the tip of their thumbs when playing pad. Since I'm waiting for a build at work right now (we're on crunch time atm), I asked around the office here. 45 people, not a single one uses middle and quite a few looked at me like I was pulling their chain when I showed them. I don't even know where they would get the idea to play that way to begin with. It's like thinking you're supposed to run with the sides of your ankles. Nintendo thumb always meant having the tip of your thumb callused over everywhere I've been. Only time most people use the middle of their thumb is on the button side so they can cover square and X or triangle and circle at the same time.

But in the end, yes, it sucks that you guys who do play with the middle are having problems, but... eh... maybe when they aren't a tiny minority or you guys tell SE about it they'll change it with future revisions. (Sorry, a 2 page NeoGAF thread isn't remotely convincing.)
[Xperia Play General] Flinq:
NeoGaf is arguably the biggest gaming forum on the internet, and it seems pretty evenly split, so I think it's a pretty good idea of how people play.

Not sure why that is unconvincing, but your work place is?
[Xperia Play General] zerojay:
You don't find people you know face to face more convincing than random people posting on the internet? Anyways, done responding to this.
[Xperia Play General] thomasshiow:
Played SF on my play. Terrible d pad experience in my opinion. Even worse than my PSP 2000. Or maybe I just suck at fighting games huh.
[Xperia Play General] zerojay:
Are you just having problems executing or what? I'm having no problems at all doing all my same combos from the arcade versions without an issue. Can destroy the car bonus stage in SFII with nothing but constant dragon punches. Maybe your Play has a hardware defect because this is nothing like the problems I had on my PSP 1000 which was so bad, I had to cut and place a piece of plastic under the dpad to throw a fireball at all.
[Xperia Play General] Red_Kop:
I'm not a huge beat em up fan so I can live with it, my favourite is Tekken and that doesn't require much uppage on the dpad so I am kind of fine.

Where it kills me though is in football games. I love football games, I am a huge fan. Running up or diagonally up/left or up/right is a major hassle with the PLAY.

They should have thought about this. Playing with the tip of your thumb is just so strange to me, and most of the people I know.

Out of curiosity...is this what the PSP Go is like?

It's pretty sad really cos the pad is good quality and is fine otherwise.
[Xperia Play General] Logseman:
Actually, the PSPGo and the Xperia Play have exactly the same DPad. Here's the PSP Go's:

Im running leedroid and the speaker phone is perfectly fine for ringtones and music playback, but when on speaker phone during a call it seems to be too low for me. Could this have something to do with the radio I flashed?
[General Questions and Answers] pavanred:
I am not sure if this is a bug. I cycle every day and I use 'My Tracks' to record my trail. But the problem I face is, every day when I hit about 1 hour (not exactly 1 hour but around 1 hour) time the recording stops abruptly. My first impression was that GPS connectivity might have been lost but it happened consistently all week.

Is this a bug? Does anyone else have such a problem? And, clearly My tracks isn't working well for me, so any alternatives?

That's nice for testing apps without the market's refund time frame.

but paid apps should be paid for. especially when they're coming from private devs.
[General Topics] LiquidSolstice:
Have you thought about actually paying for your apps? Or is that too much to ask of you?

Pathetic.
[General Topics] NewZJ:
Yes, paying for apps with only a 15 minute return window is not enough. That's barely enough time to download the app on my sprint 3g connection. And leaves no time to try it. So rather than not buy apps for fear of wasting my money I will pirate the app to try it out for a day or 2. Then I will purchase it or if I don't like it I will uninstall.

If you don't like it, tough. Until Google increases the refund time that is how I will continue as will many thousands
[General Topics] LiquidSolstice:
Oh please, that's flipping wonderful for you that you don't think 15 minutes is enough. It doesn't change the fact you should be paying for them.

That's all pirates do, weakly justify their actions. If you want it for free, just admit it, don't sugarcoat it.

Everyone hides behind the veil of "oh, I just want to try it without limitations and then I'll buy it". I'd eat my socks if there was a way to prove that even 5% of all software pirates actually do that.
[General Topics] NewZJ:
You are a sad person. Don't cast blanket judgement on everybody in a group for the actions of a few or many. We are people, we want value for our money and until there is a way to legally assure we will be satisfied with our purchase we will do what it takes to be satisfied.
[General Topics] LiquidSolstice:
You mean you'll side-step a system that was created in response to all the free-loading that was happening with the original refund timeline.

Blah blah blah, be as self-righteous and offended as you want, what you're doing is wrong and you know it. You wish it weren't so, and you're trying your hardest to justify it, but that just makes it more sad.

If you need more than 15 minutes to test an app, in my opinion, you should probably be buying it anyway. I mean, come on, the most expensive of apps are like $10? with the norm being 99 cents?

Get real.
[General Topics] NewZJ:
I wont spend a penny on something I don't want, I know its not much money but I'm not a charity. And no 15 minute isn't enough time and even though I spend time in the app I don't feel I owe the publisher anything for that time if I feel I don't want it. If they don't release a free version there isn't a way to know.

Forgive me for trying to be frugal and make wise decisions with my money.

To fix the system there needs to be more free/trial versions. Or increase the refund time. Honestly I prefer there to be more trial versions
[General Topics] LiquidSolstice:
Again, it really doesn't matter what you feel you owe the publisher. It's a system that works by you giving them money for their work. That's that. Prices and commerce are not dictated by the opinions of the customers on what something is worth. If you don't think something is worth buying, you don't buy it. If you think it might be, you try it after buying and utilize the return policy. This is not rocket science, don't even try to spin some bull**** sob story of "trying to be frugal". You're being dishonest by sidestepping the already difficult environment for developers and supporting a site that undermines the concept of paying for apps. What a joke :/
[General Topics] NewZJ:
Try and then return? Yes, sounds nice. Shame 15 minutes isn't enough time. Wasn't bad when it was an hour, they reduced it to deter pirating however pirates don't need but a minute and it hurt everybody else. There are toomany variables that can happen in 15 minutes that might prevent my ability to return it in time ie RL, calls, data issues, phone issues, etc etc. The system is not good. If it were better then I wouldn't need to pirate the apps.
[General Topics] LiquidSolstice:
Banks don't give you loans and then excuse you from returning the money because your internet went down or your car died.

Just FYI. That's not how the world operates, and still doesn't justify the piracy. You want it for free, so just take it and keep quiet, anything more is just cowardice to me.
[General Topics] NewZJ:
Your point is made, you turn a blind eye to the flaws in the system and blame the consumer. /applaud

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jeremiah239:
I have had no problems with my USB port its not lose at all and I have had my phone for a year.

My question is can I open my phone (I have opened it b4 to do the red sandpaper mod I'm not afraid to do it) and place something on top of the USB port so when I close it back up the back plate pushes down and keeps the USB port tight or Hot glue (or some other glue) the USB port to prevent any future problems of it breaking?

I have had 3 friends USB ports break and I'm about to give my EVO to my dad (I'm getting the E3D) and I don't want him to have any problems with it.

I would love somebody's opinion on this.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BonkyMoon:
You can, though if you do you should try to make sure it's not something that's incredibly rigid or thick, otherwise it might apply too much pressure on the port from the top and help to break it the other way. Some sort of dense foam would probably be ok. Just keep in mind that you'll need to be very careful when you do this.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznprodgy:
what you should have done was revert back to the stock radio before flashing the stock PD15IMG. since you have the updated radio, when you flashed the PD15IMG it turned your security on and flashed the stock hboot, but since youre on the updated radio you now have a radio lockout. this happened to me and I never got mine fixed, tried every method possible, so I just bricked it. KOLOHE got his fixed, try the methods he did since youre pretty much in the same boat. post back with your results...

ps- there should be a sticky made or something of the sort stating that you should be on the stock radio before trying to flash the stock PD15IMG_Glacier_TMOUS_1.17.531.2_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Legaleye3000:
I just read your thread... I have tried everything... no luck... I now have no access to the phone except bootloader/recovery, meaning the only way to get my phone working again is through the .zip in the bootloader. I think I'm bricked :(
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznprodgy:
you cant even get into recovery? are you sure? thats weird....I was still able to get into recovery and flash roms and everything, but couldnt flash in hboot
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Legaleye3000:
If I just turn on my phone like normal now, it gets stuck at the very first screen (white "MyTouch 4G"). I can still access recovery, but that's it. I tried flashing CM7 7.0.3 and when I reboot, still white "MyTouch 4G" screen...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznprodgy:
the thing is, since you were on virtuous fusion the kernel from that rom will stick to every other rom (dont ask, I have no idea why lol). try flashing virtuous in recovery, that should work. since the kernel from the rom is sticking, you can only flash roms that are compatible with the kernel. you should still have total root access, but your r/w should be disabled because of the radio issue. only downsides to the problem...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Legaleye3000:
Ok- so once I flash virtuous back... I'm still unable to ultimately get back to flash... correct? Thanks.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Legaleye3000:
If I'm sending this phone in to T-Mobile for warranty exchange, I wonder if it will be better to put on virtuous (obviously non-stock rom), or leave it in a seemingly bricked state that only shows the "white MyTouch 4G" screen... What do you think? Thanks.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznprodgy:
it will still say s=on and stock hboot, but you should still have root access when you flash virtuous. if you have tried all the methods in the other thread, then you are unfortunately out of luck...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznprodgy:
they can still get into hboot and recovery to see that youre using clockwork
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
Maybe he will get lucky like others who have returned rooted devices, he might give it to a not so smart person :) . There's always the shock treatment too if you cant flash the phone back to stock, only if OP has something to send high volts to phone.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Legaleye3000:
I think I got it to work! I used the hex editing method and flashed the .zip file in bootloader at the end of completing the guide (.zip that was included in that thread) and everything seems to be working like stock!

When I try to go to recovery, I get that icon with a red exclamation mark (which I think is normal for completely stock phones..??).

The only thing I'm not 100% sure about is in bootloader, it says hboot version ..86 Besides that, everything seems 100% stock. Will that .86 be an issue? Thanks.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coppo:
.86 is the stock bootloader. I'm glad you were able to fix it. I'm not sire about the red ! maybe someone else can answer it. So are you going to keep it and start all over again?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Legaleye3000:
I think the red exclamation mark is normal. If memory serves me right, the recovery was not accessible on complete stock and if you try to go to it you get this red exclamation point (someone correct me if I'm wrong).

I need to send this phone in as a warranty replacement. So it seems MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

Thanks for your help along the way!

when you go to the settings after applying the command of about:debug, you will see on the bottom "debug" in the settings under advanced. Once you go there, click uastring.
