ok so i downloaded the kindle app and im actually liking it but i like to read in bed and everytime i flip the page the 4 buttons lights come on
is there a way to turn them off?
ive looked through the settings on the kindle and the phones screen settings but cant seem to find anything.
theres no built in way.. there's also no convenient way. check out LG Optimus TX touch Key Lights ( https://market.android.com/details?id=com.guenmat.android.optimus2x ). Horrible name, I know, but it does what you want.. just not conveniently. what I would suggest is this. go into the keylight app.. back out to home.. launch Kindle.. then use the "hold home key" button to bring up recent apps.. switch back to the keylight app and dim your buttons aalll the way down (this will be system wide.. not just for that app) then hold home and switch back to kindle.. no more lights! hold home to switch back to keylights to turn them back on.
OR
you could do what i did and just dim the keys really low. Mine are at 500... saves battery and not so bright.. you could go lower if you'd like.
Hope I helped!
Hi all, I want to try Cyanogenmod 7 (latest nightly of course), but I realized that the end button (red end call button) behavior is different from the stock rom. The stock rom behavior is:
if not in home screen -> go to home screen
if in home screen -> do nothing
if locked and screen turned on -> turn screen off
everything else -> do nothing
Notice that pressing the end button seems to be different than pressing the home button: if the current foreground activity does not respond, home button won't work (ANR window will show up); end button, instead, will simply go to home screen, like if it's killing the current activity. However, relaunching the closed activity restores its previous state (like when I use the home button to get away from an activity).
Cyanogenmod has stock gingerbread behavior (which should be fine, I know it's the android way), but I really would like to preserve my habits.
I already tried:
Spare parts: does not have the option I'd like
Remapping keys via keymaps: doesn't work since behavior cannot be defined using the available built-in commands
I'll get my hands dirty in the Android code if necessary (I'm a developer), but I really want to know if there is another way before looking at the source code.
Idk if you guys are coming from a note 4 or just a general non s6 or s6 edge... but I didn't know they got rid of the long press menu... i just found out that if you long press the back button, it sort of acts as an in App Menu button. Just sharing a tip for those who may not know.

I have an app (maybe multiple) that does not have an in app menu button built in and therefore requires a menu function from the OS. I used to long press the back key in my LG G4 to get into the menu, but can't figuring out how to do it in my video surveillance app on my S7 Edge. If I short press the bottom left (two squares button), the open apps come up. If I long press the bottom left, it tries to take me into split screen mode (which this app doesn't support). If I press the bottom right key, the phone goes back to the desktop. Same results yield in long pressing the bottom right button. Does anyone know how to get into in app menus that do not have a menu button? My Uniden Guardian app requires this menu to exit out of the application or it will show in the notification area in standby mode. The only other way I can exit the app is doing a force close.

NM, it must be specific to my Uniden Guardian app... The long press back key works in other apps.
Any answer yet?
If I long press the back button in any app, I am immediately taken back to the home screen and once in the home screen, the home screen drop down items pop up. Any solutions for this?
Maybe it's carrier specific? The long-press back button brings up the in-app menu in virtually all of my apps.
On my Sprint GS7E, longpressing the Back button brings up the in-app Menu function.

I have found a few apps that close when long pressing the back, and some that show the menu properly. I had to find another super simple (no permissions required) grocery list app since Simple Grocery List was one that would close.
Here is the fix I figured out that works in this situation and it would be good to pass this on or write up a document.
Go to phone settings => Accessibility => Dexterity and interaction => Assistant Menu.
Got this from galaxy s6 edge forum have an app with need of menu button and it now work with this work around hope this helps for now my phone is not rooted.

I'm seeing this too in some apps. Including XDA Premium (Tapatalk). Holding back for the menu seems to think I'm tapping the back button. The app goes back through the previous pages, then quits.

Assistant Menu gives you a few options like home button back button and also a menu button that you can use whilst in any app to open the menu as the long press back button doesn't work on some apps it's just a work around that does work
I don't get the menu button in the assistant menu?

The assist menu button is for apps that require a physical menu button to access the menu on any apps. It is used for apps that don't have the 3dot menu option it's just a work around for apps that don't have that option or that not have been updated for marshmallow
Unfortunately doesn't work on apps made with pre Android v4.0 SDK I use an SMS parsing app for bank notifications/login codes and it hasn't been updated since 2 years but works perfectly, just the settings are missing.

I found this discussion was very helpful, but it took me some time to work it out.
When the Assistant menu button is switched on (Settings - Accessibility - Dexterity and interaction), a blue symbol with four white squares appears. If this symbol is pressed, a menu pops up with a selection of available tasks. This includes (on page 2/4) a button called "More options". This is the extra Menu button that should be accessible from a long press of the Back button, but is not available in some apps.

Not happy with this at all. Whats wrong with the developers? Why take functionality away? Should be adding more! Why change things for the hell of it? Appart from just being plain annoying, buying the latest S7 edge phone out, and looking forward to trying ps1 emulation out, and cant use ePSXe save function now, or any app menu...
Hello All,
I found a fix. settings==>system==>Buttons==>Home Button. Change the action to open/close menu. or any of the buttons you see there. This works like a charm and if it's a button you dont normally use then even better cause you wont forget which one you chose.
Grilo.

Hello All,
I found a fix for this. settings==>system==>buttons==>Home button. I chose to change the double tap to open/close menu. You can choose any button on this page and then access the menu.
Hope this helps

This worked for me. It floats a circular object and you tap this and it gives you some quick one touch functions, one of those is the 3 dots in a vertical line, you tap that and your app will then behave as if you'd tapped a physical MENU button.
Thanks for the tip.
So I just got this phone and it's stock ROM and when I use some apps I usually have the menu to access settings. It's 3 little dots normally in certain apps. How do I get these back? Some apps are useless without being able to get into settings.

Try this:
Settings → Accessibility → Dexterity and Interaction → and turn on Assistant Menu. This will add a floating button to the screen that you can press to reveal a menu containing the old Menu button.

Use the app Buttons remapper and reconfigure the buttons: Press 'recent' -> Menu. Long press 'recent' -> Recent, etc.
Root is not even needed.
After using so many year of samsung phone, first time saw this behavior after update to Android 12
Most of app after i open, normally i press back it close app, but Android 12 it act like i press HOME button, all keep running at background
No way to turn off this so called 'function', cause some app does not update info when i open back app because it still keep running on background
Example telco data usage app, if i open at morning, i press back, at night time i open it still show morning usage, i need refresh/kill app to force update
Why need design like this, if i want background running i will press home, now look like back button is not exit app
Try Button Savior, which works properly in custom ROM with android 12.1.
This app allows you to protect the physical buttons ( Power, VOL- and VOL+ ) from wear and tear and also allows you to close all apps or one.
