I managed to disable the back button by going to /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl and adding # in front of key 139 menu and key 158 back but the recents button still works after rebooting. This was the old method when the left button was a menu not recent apps button. Which button number is for recents?

For example, just today I tried typing a message to my mom and out of nowhere the x, s and z buttons just keep pressing. The phone will allow me to delete the letters sometimes and other times it will just freeze. It is very annoying.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI tried searching for an answer, but to no avail.I had an original Storm 2 from the release date, which worked fine. Lost it two months ago, got a new one, and had this problem. Exchanged it for a new one and I continue to have this problem.Basically what happens happens is the keys at the bottom of the screen get stuck/freeze and are unusable. Does anyone know how to solve this problem, I'd be shocked if I was the only one.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI was just wondering if there's a way to disable these capacitive keys on the bottom? I want to disable it because I often use apps, and accidentally touch these keys, it's becoming really annoying. This is true especially when I'm using the camcorder app, and my right hand touches one of the keys and it exits. Or is there another camera/camcorder app that disables the keys?

View 8 Replies View RelatedIs there any way of disabling the media buttons on the side? (play/pause, previous, next). Or to set them to operate only with long press. Or to set them to trigger something rather harmeless. My father doesn't use them that much. Besides, he finds himself pressing them too easily and oops there it goes the radio blasting through the loudspeaker.
View 3 Replies View Relatedimprove the design of all motorola droid phones with qwerty keyboards, to make it even more attractive to former blackberry users. i am a person who switched from blackberry to the motorola pro+ which has exactly the same keyboard as admiral, but the admiral is more popular.
problem: during fast typing on a motorola phone, accidentally pressing a button (such as search) will cause an interruption. this can be annoying if this happens repeatedly while writing a long email on the phone. the button bar is very close to the keyboad. fast typists (me on Internet: 75 wpm on phone) get frustrated, when they mistype a key that causes an interruption. this interruption flaw even more frustrating for good thumb typists that can type without looking. business users and power users are the ones that give recommendations about phones, so this would be a useful to address.
the buttons (zenu/home/back/search), and the microphone button, should be automatically disabled (for a brief moment, like 1/2 second) when typing is detected. that way, accidental presses of the buttons during fast buttons, don't cause an interruption while typing an email or text message. this could be a configurable setting, to accomodate different users.this would be a relatively unobtrusive improvement to the phone software. people don't generally hit buttons mere milliseconds after pressing keyboard keys. when the user stops fast typing, the buttons are automatically reenabled.(the delay can be extremely brief, such as 500 milliseconds or less.) so that users won't notice this change except for dramatically reduced interruptions == this could mean more good reviews for motorola keyboard phones!
precedent: the apple iphone does a similiar trick for the microphone button in its on-screen keyboarrd, if you're typing fast, then accidentally pressing the microphone button doesn't interrupt you.i would like motorola to make this improvement, or perhaps help google add this improvement to future versions of android, for future physical-keybaord phones.
I have been playing with this phone for a week or so and there are a couple of things that bug me. First of all is the annoying vibration every time you touch the screen or any side buttons.Can the vibration be disabled? Secondly, I hate the default touch screen functions like music, video and pictures. I use none of these.I want to have a button that shows the recent call list from the outer screen.I can do this when I have missed a call, but how can I change or add this function to the outer screen so I can see my missed calls whenever I want not just when I have a recent missed call.I use the phone with a headset most of the time which is why I would like to do this without opening the flip.

View 1 Replies View RelatedSo on my S6, the Recent Apps button is no longer working or even lit. When I open several apps, I'm unable to use that button.
I cleared cache, etc. VZW is offering me a new phone, but it's "factory reconditioned" and I'd like to keep this one.
I use my phone now. The recent apps/multiwindow thing keeps popping up, no matter what I'm doing and even if I quit all my running apps. Despite restarts and complete phone drainage, this problem keeps occuring for the past month or 2.
I use my phone to play games a lot (like several hours a day), have active Line group conversations, use Facebook app frequently w/its Messenger app, and I also use Dodol Launcher for my phone too. I really don't want to go to the factory default method of fixing things, especially since it's a major pain to reinstall all the games that I have installed. However, a quick search through google doesn't seem to show any results about this continuous recent apps popup bug.
My iPhone 4 volume keys and silent/ringer keys are not working and it doesn't ring and vibrate when i get a call or text and neither the sound working when i use any app like games etc. but when i go to settings and change the ringtone then its ringing and the sound is working when i play music but there is a problem as well the headphone dock is not working.
Info:iPhone 4, iOS 5.1
Any way to copy/paste from the recent call log on the AT&T phone? Under KitKat and before you could long press the call number and the copy option would pop up. Doesn't happen under lollipop, at least not on the AT&T variant.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a s6, and my recent app button works automatically without me touching it.
If i touch the button it doesn't work.
If i touch the back the button it works and both the lights on the side buttons work.
But if i touch the recent apps button it doesn't work.
It will automatically work by itself and it does so to the point where i can use my phone, it keeps bringing up recent apps, split screen view, i cant even use my phone because the menu button keeps automatically pressing/working by itself. I don't know what caused this..
I've turned it off and left it off. The recent apps button did work but it will not work now but the home button and back buttons still work.
View 1 Replies View RelatedCan't get the soft keys to light up, regardless of the setting being turned on.
View 5 Replies View RelatedLast week my phone went off because the battery was drained to 0.
Then next morning I connected the phone to my car's charger and when I turned it on, I figured that the soft keys are not working anymore.
I have tried multiple methods like clearing cache, factory reset (through Settings and Recovery), but none of that worked.
I am running the latest stock firmware (5.1.1 U2COH2).
Is there an app that allows me to reconfigure the keys? Could this be a hardware issue?
I'm an unhappy victim of the great Lollipop Update. Now without warning the Recent Apps button and the Home button just stop responding periodically. Like I'll be in a phone call and want to take a picture or look something up and pressing Home or Recent Apps does nothing. If I restart the phone then they work as expected even when in a call. Eventually though, they just stop working.
I've been reading about others having bad luck with Lollipop. So I thought I'd just go back to 4.4.4 because everything worked then. So far, I've downloaded Kies3 and done a complete backup. I decided to try a factory reset to see if that would make Lollipop behave. Nope. Within 20 minutes the buttons stopped again. It's not always in calls, it's just that I can't restart the phone when in a call to make it work and that is not usable.
So, before I go regrade back to 4.4.4 - why the buttons just quit every so often and maybe how to fix it?
No matter which setting I choose, the back and menu keys never light up... at all.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI got an S6 Edge Gold phone last week and noticed a weird duplication of backlight reflections of the capacitive keys.
There is an original light, and then there are two more reflections which is very weird. I can tell they are reflections because as I tilt the phone those two reflections change angles while the original light stays in its spot.
The issue is also with the notification color lights. When ever it blinks I see two reflections (one above and one below). So it looks like a grain of rice instead of a small circle.
Please see the image below for a better understanding:
My inspection of the device tells me that theres something wrong when the different layers of glasses were stacked. I have looked at some other Edge phones and they don't have this issue.
I have also seen that when very bright light shines in all angles and when the phone is tilted (with screen turned off) and observed carefully I see diagonal lines on the entire screen with a space of about 5mm each. It is very hard to see them, and when I turn the screen on I can't see any flaw.
So i got my phone about a week ago and when i do a reset back to factory new, they work until i have done the set up of phone, it no longer works. When i check under settings and display there is no options for my lights. How to turn it on?
