Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to methods and systems for indicating to a wireless device user that an incoming call has been received by the wireless device. In one exemplary embodiment, a method and system for indicating reception of an incoming call by a wireless device is described in which the user can configure the wireless device to “shuffle” or select a different incoming call indicator, such as a ring tone, from a defined group of incoming call indicators with each call received. Related embodiments are also described.
Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to methods and systems for performing a variety of native and non-native tasks with a wireless device employing a user-configurable graphical user interface. In one exemplary embodiment, the graphical user interface can be envisioned as a very wide screen composed of segments, with only one segment of the very wide screen displayed on the wireless device at any given time. The user can view other segments of the very wide screen by using the device keypad to move left and right within the very wide screen. Each segment is composed of one or more independent modular interface components that are associated with tasks, both native and non-native, that can be performed by the wireless device. Related embodiments are also described.
