Is there an app or any way of disabling the touch-sensitive buttons on the nexus s?
It annoys me every time i play a game such as battle bear -1, nova, or any fps because i would accidentally press the back button making me exit the game and to start all over >:[
p.s. battle bears is awesome!

Windows mobile use to have an app that when you touched the screen you would get 2 quick vibrations. You could go in an manually change the vibration time of both vibrations. You would set the first vibration for 25 ms and the second one for 18 ms. The idea was it would simulate a key press, the first was simulated down press and the second simulated the key coming back up. Like in the game Teeter when the ball falls into a hole.
Has anyone seen app like this for Android? I know it sounds stupid but I kind of miss it.
So i bought the game Robo Defense from market and i must say it's nice.
But i have a few problems (i think, not sure if it's normal or not).
1: When i start a game and complete it, it says i can start a new game by going to menu and use the new game, but for that have to quit the game and start it again (is that normal?).
2: Whenever i have completed a game and quit, i cant press the Resume game (dont know how that works?).
3: I dont think my save game file saves correctly, everytime i have completed a game and quit the game and open it i only have the points i got in the previous game, So there's no way for me to get above 500000 points which some updates cost, since it restarts on every game (is that normal too?)

None of that is normal. I used to play that game alot on my previous phones, but have not installed it on my Sensation, as I have grown bored of it now. So I could not tell you if it works on my Sensation or not.
Well i found out that resume game is if you dont complete the game or want to take a break, but else i have the 2 other problems.
So no one knows how i can fix my other 2 issues?
When you've finished a game, do you press the "back" button of your Sensation, or do you press the "menu" button of your Sensation?
you mustn't press "back" (the arrow) but press "menu" (second button from the left) to get the menu to show up, and then return to main screen of Robo defense, etc
If it's what you're doing already, you definitly have a problem (unistall/install again?)

Thanks now it's working I always used the back or home button cause i didnt know the menu button would work lol. So now i can save up for some big stuff
Have fun! This game is kinda addictive
Anyone know if there is a app that will disable touch response and buttons or one to disable home etc buttons and you have to touch the screen in certain spot 3 times or something to get out of app thats on screen?
i ask cuz mykids love to watch micky mouse on my phone and as kids do they touch it every where or hold incorrectly( Steve Jobs quote) thus backing out of their show and crying like kids do
I found one but it doesnt disable home button

Don't laugh. But I was playing Modern Combat 3 (FPS game) today, and I wondered if it would be possible to program the volume buttons to shoot and reload?
I'd really love to stop touching my screen for an extended period of time so much, it's leaving smudges that I cannot remove.

I think If it is possible it would be hard to realize without application sources. Just buy a gamepad
This for sure can be done, but it's the matter of software hack-arounds and doesn't have much to do with HW Hacking.
I can imagine this could be an app working in the background with root privileges, capturing VOLUP/VOLDOWN key events and translating them into virtual touchscreen presses.
Hi,
When I rotate the phone to landscape I keep hitting the back button as I'm used to the iPhone where you can just grab the side with confidence since there is only a physical home button.
Is this a problem after say, a month, or do you guys never hit the capacitive keys by accident in landscape mode? I don't have a month to decide. I have only a week. It's kind of a bigger change than I thought to be careful everytime I go into landscape, which seems like I shouldn't "have" to be.
Thanks
If you're playing games then enable the game tolls and disable the captive buttons while playing games.
Just don't hesitate to rely on the home button as a safe touch region to grip it by. That's why it's a hardware button and not soft touch. It easily becomes second nature in a few days and works well. The signature mix of capacitive and hardware buttons is one of the reasons I prefer galaxy phones. It beats software keys which take up screen space and all capacitive which is really tricky to hold.

OK thanks for this. Hope I can get used to it. I suppose the upside of the Android layout is that the back button is at the bottom as opposed to ios where it's at the top left. I appreciate that feature much more often than I appreciate having the entire side being safe to grip in landscape, since I'm in portrait way more often.

Sorry, game tools. Search the settings for game and then enable one or both of the options...I haven't played around with it to know what each one does but I do know what of the feature on the S7 was a game mode to disable notifications and the buttons while playing games.
