The reason we use all sorts of various forms for text fields is typically to validate the data. But these, IMHO, are all workarounds that are best handled programmatically. Assuming the app has a sense of regional differences, there's no reason that the date field can't be text and that some logic be applied to properly parse it.

I feel that either single text field or three separate text field would work the best in your case of having speed over accuracy.
Single text fields have their advantages because as a user I do not want have to stare at three different input fields and worry about tabbing through the inputs, however something that needs to be considered is where is the ...

I'll spin your question around a bit: how is a datepicker UI useful for filling in one's birth date?
Date Picker UI's are usually useful when it's important to understand the context of the day within a calendar. Ie, when is next Friday? Or what is exactly one month ago?
But with a birthdate, that's a memorized date and where it falls on the calendar is ...

I believe that single field (with guidance) paired with the number keypad is the fastest way to input birth dates. The amount of time a user will have to scroll through or tap through things can be reduced if you just give them full control to enter it manually. They'll spend the ...

There is no room for pagination in mobile in my view. As a designer your task is to make the experience seamless, easy and hustle free.
Having pagination means that user has to press each page number or next page buttons. This can be quite hard on a small screen especially if you have more than 4-5 pages. Avarage thumb size is 72px making it quite hard to ...

jQuery Mobile includes a navigation system to load pages into the DOM via AJAX, enhance the new content, then display pages with a rich set of animated transitions.
Maybe on of this ...

(Assuming that your question is regarding small, handheld phones and phablets)
First, ask your team this question: Does your product contain tasks that users would engage in while on-the-go?
If so, ask the question: Would those engagement levels justify the product development through improved ROI (either indirect or direct ROI)?
If the answer is yes, ...

Due to technical reasons, when a user votes a message, their vote
cannot be undone.
Clearly, allowing a vote to be undone is optimal from the user's point of view. It seems that technical decisions are inappropriately driving the functionality of the program. If it is under your control, why not fix the underlying problem, instead of spending your ...

Something you could apply is a slide control, similar to that of answering a call or locking up the screen. If you use the entire width of the screen for the control the amount of unintentional votes could be kept to a minimum, and the action is performed in one operation/gesture.

In most cases, less steps are better, so I would go for the first option.
The next problem is how would you effectively present the separation to the user. The separation should be presented in a manner relatively close to its desktop-version. The intent is you want your user to still feel that the mobile version, is really the mobile version and will not ...

Good design is about creating something useful that works. The school of style in which it is designed (flat or skeuomorphic), is just a matter of fashion. But all styles may not work for all projects, so it shouldn't be forced.
The thing to be kept in mind is that "Flat design is simple by nature and works well with an overall minimalist design approach. ...
