I personally prefer to enable single tap mode in my phone because single tap the on-screen icon is easier and simpler for me compared if I have to drag the on-screen icon. So, how about you? Which one do you like best, single tap or drag the on-screen icon?
Actually neither fits my need. I use a belt holster which requires me to take the phone out of the holster to press the icon. I would prefer a "press any button feature" that would answer the phone while activating the speaker or if it's an alarm, any button pressed would silence it. Having to wrestle my phone out of its holster while buckled in a car seat is a chore!
