During a call, my cheek will frequently hit the Add Participant button and I will end up dialing random people while I am on a call. How do I disable that button or move it so I don't continue to do that?
I can't stand how the bold 9700 has a screen lock button on top of it- on my old curve i set the side convenience button as the screen lock and to unlock the screen i had to hit two keys (since i didn't set a PW)... now all i have to do his hit the top button-- i've pocket dialed a bunch of people now just by accidentally pressing this button- is there any way to disable this top screen lock button?
9700 phone on Orange UK, version 5.0.0.351, platform 5.1.0.98 how do I disable the little mute/lock button on the top of the phone? It works beautifully but means that when the phone is in my jeans pocket it unlocks itself and I've made several random calls. any ideas how to switch it off?
i'm stumped and looking for some help. So my password in enabled on 9700 but I can't disable it. Disable does not show up in scroll menu and all i can do is enter password and change password.
I've somehow managed to make several 911 calls by accidentally pocket-dialing off the lock-screen. Is it possible to disable this? Once the lock screen (with PIN) comes up, the emergency call button is fairly prominent.
I'm trying Hidden Lock now and it does allow me to remove the emergency call button entirely, but after unlocking, I still have to slide to unlock (so it's a double-action to unlock from the PIN).
Is there a way to completely disable the "double-tap" home button to start the iPod on the iPhone?
Currently, I have the double-tap to open up the camera.......however, when the phone is in lock mode and the home button is double tapped, the iPod turns on.
I don't want the iPod being activated by any means other than tapping on the iPod app icon.
Now to the business, I am wondering is there any possible way to disable the next/prev.(Vol. + -) Buttons on the upper right side of my tour. I only want to disable the next/prev. Part not the volume + or - ....
Yesterday my power button died, but I was able to turn on my N5 somehow. after, I've enabled the double tap to sleep on the statusbar and on the lockscreen and volume buttons now wake the device, but I wasn't able to remap the power button and if I accidentaly press it, I don't know what will happen.
So, there's any method to completely disable the power button? I've tried with gravity box but there isn't any option to do this. How to disable the power button from the .kl files in system/usr/keylaout? And then, can I use the volume buttons to turn on the device when it's off or I have to keep it on forever?
On the Galaxy S5, whenever you long-press the Home button, it brings up what appears to be a Google search page or something. Apparently I’m really bad at pressing buttons quickly (either that or the button is malfunctioning) because I keep accidentally bringing up this damn Google search page instead of the home screen.
Is there any possible way to disable the long-press or even just change what it does??? I’ve searched through the phone’s settings and all over the internet and haven’t found anything useful yet.
Is there a way to disable the language button in swype? I have my only enabled language set to US English but the button is still there, robbing space that I used to use for the space bar. It makes adding a space when I end my finger on the left-hand side of the keyboard a little harder.
Pressing a handsfree button once in idle/stand-by mode starts playing music. Can that be disabled?Â
I'm heavy voice and data user on my iPhone 5 however I rarely listen to music. My handsfree is plugged-in almost all the time (for convenience as I strongly prefer to use HF for voice calls).Â
Any time I accidentally press the HF button (and it happens a lot, e.g. laying the phone down on the table accidentally pressing the button by the phone itself) the bloody device starts playing music (or whatever media is stored in). This is very annoying: if nothing else it further drains the battery that anyhow barely makes it through the day (sometimes half day - I really am heavy user). But most important: when listening to anything it is usually an audio book. When the "automated" "audio-on" feature is activated it usually goes unnoticed until some time hence the story moves on without me listening - and going back looking for the spot to continue playing from is very very frustrating activity particularly since it is repeated practically every time I sit down to listen to it.Â
Going through different forums I found some solutions which however require a jail-brake - something I want to avoid if possible,Â
The best solution would allow to define a custom action ("null action" in this particular case) based on the status: I like to use the HF button during the call or even for skipping or reversing songs when eventually really deliberately listening to music (very seldom) hence only "idle / stand-by" action assigned to the HF button would be null - the rest should stay intact.Â
I sometime talk in bed or am busy cooking and doing chore and dont want to wear my earbuds every time I want to lock the screen on my phone. Is there any setting I can use or find that allows me to disable this annoying feature that hangs up my phone when I am in a normal non speaker and non headset call?
I always press it by accident, I'd love to pop a the power menu (long press) instead of turning off the screen on a "standard" press.my Nexus 5 is right now unrooted, so I rather have a solution that doesn't depend on that, but if there is no other way, I'll do that..
I want to disable the voice commands when the off hook button on my headset is pressed.I use an audio book player and pressing the headset button is supposed to pause / play the book. Instead the voice command stuff comes on. How can I turn it off?
I did an upgrade to v5.0.0.680 on my Blackberry 9700 and after that my Standby - Mute button not working also the Email Setup is missing an option to add a personal account it only giving me option to add "Blackberry Enterprise Server."
Is there a way to disable the lock and mute buttons on the top of the BlackBerry Bold 9700? I just received my new windshield cradle that grips it from top and bottom, and the buttons are invariable pressed accidentally for a variety of reasons. Perhaps an application that can shut them off, or some type if setting?
How can I disable the Line 2 on the blackberry because I don't need them and sometimes I select it by default without take care of it and it's really annoying. (Cannot receive and make calls) Or how I can remove the dropdown menu in the call menu like that I cannot select the line 2..
Been a while since I posted on here but I just got my new 9700 last week. Is there anyway I can disable the top buttons? I listen to a lot of music and when the phone is in my pocket I keep muting the music by accident and its really annoying.Glad to be back! Been on a dumbphone for almost a year now but the 9700 is surpassing all my expectations!
Ok so really a bit frustrating there REALLY should be an option to turn on and off email accounts. Its kinda ridiculous that you have to go through a bunch of steps and jump through hoops the turn off an email account. Or just delete it. When Im at work I dont need to emails to go to the phone and I just end having to delete a bunch of them. Ok rant off heres my problem. I looked in the BB instruction to stop forwarding message to my phone and it told me how to do it. It says go into messages, then open the menu, go to options, email settings and tell the phone to stop forwarding emails. Problem is I don't have that option. Whats the deal?By the way I tried to get into my BIS account online and it said It wasn't available and I had to access settings on the phones.
I am with Rogers and My contract was coming to an end. So 2 weeks ago I called them for a "price match" with TELUS or bell. and they agreed to it. Few hours after setting up my new plan, i noticed that my Wi-Fi symbol is not lit up however it does show the SSID at the top of my home screen as if I am connected to the Wi-Fi Network.I know My Wi-Fi was working before the contract upgrade. and i have tested with 3 different Wi-Fi networks that I was able to connect previously.
I am running 5.0.0.681. At the time of my Contract upgrade I was running .509 so I thought if I upgraded it might work but didn’t.Is it possible that Rogers blocked my Wi-Fi? Would a carrier have the ability to do this remotely?
