Xseries :: Nokia X2 - How To Disable Media Buttons
Aug 19, 2010
Is 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.
The capacitive buttons are garbage in my opinion and I constantly accidentally hit them. Not to mention they are backwards. I would like to disable them completely and enable the soft buttons like on the Nexus 5. Is this possible?
my phone was fully functional, until I dropped it off my bed, then stood on it getting up to get it off the floor, anywhoo, the screen had broke and only the three buttons on the bottom were working. I sent the phone off to be fixed and hey presto, I got a new fully functioning screen, but now the three buttons along the bottom do not work.
I don't have the option to turn the 3G signal off. There's no setting for the dual mode or gsm. Only Operator selection and cell info display options are available. By the way i'm using a Rogers Canada X7. I want to conserve the battery more, so gsm mode will suffice.
The dedicated media key on my new X6 16gb (firmware v12.0.091) suddenly stopped working. When I press it ,still get vibration feedback to indicate a key press has occurred but the pop down menu no longer appears. Can't link it to an specific event. Was working originally, now it isn't.
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!
The 3 buttons on the front (make call, menu, end call) don't work. This means I cannot access the menu screen and can't use any of the phones functions. Only can make calls from touch screen.
My previous phone (HTC One) was able to control applications like Spotify with the volume buttons on the side of the phone even when the phone was locked. I can't for the life of me figure out a way to convince this device to do anything other than volume control with the volume rocker. I'd just like to use the volume control with short clicks, but if I do a long press it doesn't something else (this may have been a feature of Cyanogen that I was using previously?).
I'd like to use a Long hold on up and down to Next Track / Previous Track for Spotify. Right now if I do this, instead it just blows out my ear drums by maxing the volume quickly. Are there apps that allow me to customize what the volume rocker does in specific states?
Also, does this phone not intelligently recognize the difference between headphones being plugged in vs plugging it into an Auxillary jack? That was something else that worked well on my One as well.
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?
I have gotten the inside of my phone wet and now the menu and back buttons click on their own, it's really annoying so I just want to disable the buttons and use assistant cursor that is built in the phone.
improve 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.
On my Nokia X3-02, whenever I long-press "1" to access mailbox, I get to choose if I want to go to the voice call mailbox or the net call mailbox. I do not use the net call mailbox, it's not even defined, and even setting calls to "voice only" won't get rid of this menu. Is there a way to revert the situation so that a call will be made directly to the voice call mailbox without reverting to factory settings?
The lock screen displays what appears to be a media player instead of the normal date & time - I've disabled all the media players on the phone .. but can't seem to figure out what the issue is?
how to transfer songs from the Windows Media Player to my phone? I have the correct USB micro connector already, i just don't have a clue on how to transfer songs to my phone.
how to jump in time when listening to the music in media player? I tried to tap on time bar, but nothing happens. It seems like you can play and listen songs only from beginning, I don't know how to rewind or fast forward?
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?
After a week of having had the E72, the one-touch buttons for Contacts, Calendar and Messaging have all stopped responding. Neither a long nor short press results in any action being taken.Any ideas on how to resolve this?
The top part of the phone which is covered by the slider has 4 buttons (for pic viewing, music and games).I found it very convenient to play games with it. However, only the 2 middle buttons are available for n gage games. The top and bottom one are not, and it's a shame cause they could be very useful in some games.Why?? and can this be changed somehow so that all 4 buttons will be operatable in games?
Am i the only one who has problems during a call and the other buttons with unintentionally activating hold, mute, or finish a call? Often it happens that after some seconds talking that i only see the standby screen (black) could this be a bug (?) or other customers have the same problem?
I started to have this problem yesterday. The power and volume down buttons are just unresponsive, so the only way to unlock my phone now is to use the camera button. I've tried resetting the phone and it didn't help, so I'm guessing not a software issue, but hardware. Should I just return it to the store for repair/new
and yeah, the reset was done via Settings, not soft or hard reset since the buttons aren't working.
Can someone tell me shortcut keys for Zoom In & Out in Adobe LE 2.5 ? Since the firware upgrade pressing the optinav key does not zoom the document. Only way now is to use options and press zoom to activate zoom in & out.

After i updated to v40 my homescreen has gone nuts!
The keypad button has turned in to a long button, with "Telephone" written on, and the contacts button has turned in to, a big bar with "Contacts" written on, something like older non touch nokias.
Oh, and none of the 2 buttons actually work! really annoying.
Also, on the 5230 you get some extra buttons/shortcuts on the bottom of the screen, so did i, but they dont work, i cant apply any programs to them.
And if i choose the upper contact bar to be a shortcut bar, nothing shows up, other than empy buttons (like on the bottom of the screen) and even there, i cant apply something...
My N85 seems to be still working however the cover navigation panel and buttons are not working. I can not press any button to answer. Basically all I can use is the Keypad. Is there something I can do to try to reset the phone or I have to get it sent to to get fixed?
I've had issues with my N97 since i bought it direct from Nokia on the day of release. Always put it down to software, but the last few months it got to the point where I couldn't even accept a call by pressing the screen/buttons. The screen also had a dark streak down the left side. So, I took it to the Carphonewarehouse, obviously under warrenty and was sent to Nokia for repair.
the silver trim has been half scraped off on the buttons and keyboard trim AND the screen has a 1cm bright spot in the middle of it. I am FURIOUS...............1/ because it took 23 to fix when all they did is replace it. 2/ because they've sent me a second hand phone 3/ that the 'new' phone is worse condition than the one I sent in!! They didn't even bother to put the latest firmware on it!!
CPW didn't offer me the returns receipt either, i had to ask for it, but that's a CPW issue. Actual fault found (as recorded by engineer): Faulty applications on the handset when purchased. As i've always updated the firmware I can only conclude this faulty software cannot be fixed by the firmware update, and the handset must be replaced as mine was. Other phones must be suffering the same problem.......
The numberpad and the contact list buttons are not working on the home page. The shortcuts disappeared on the home page, it's just 4 blank icons now I can press the buttons, but nothing will open
