Q- i know majority of android users want this mod on their gs4g

is there any way to wake my phone screen up when locked using the menu button? or home button? or search etc. im so tired of pressing the power button just to wake my screen up sometimes its just so irritating.. ive tried using widgetlocker and the easywake mode that allows volume buttons wake up still feels uncomfortable to me..

I'm not sure how I feel about this one. The power button makes sense because it is a physical button. Its really easy to accidentally turn the phone on by hitting they led keys. would kill the battery fast. But I'll look into it once I get a chance. Work is killing me right now.

Well known "bug", you should really search your devices forums. Basically it's from Voice app that Samsung has bound to double tapping the home button. Look in your device's dev forums probably best bet.

Thx. Doing that now. But one thing though this never happened to me before. This annoying bug Started today

Nexus S 3g search button problem.

I'm having the worst trouble with my nexus S's search button triggering all the time. Sometimes it seems that its just being overly sensitive like my finger brushes along the bottom of the phone while I type / hold the phone. And the button activates.
Its horribly irritating its pretty well documented as an old issue but I would like to possibly start this topic here on xda. Someone mentioned a software fix for it triggering by itself in some legacy version of android. But if there is anyone who has a fix please let me know I've had to exit the search bar about 10x while writing this.

Disable touch capacitive buttons (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1554111&page=6) and install a rom with on screen buttons (Cyborg or aokp)...use kernal with bln to take off the lights
I did this to fix the auto back button firing

I wonder what causes it I mean if its just open the phone up and clean it or something I don't really have a problem with it.
Could you possibly paste a recent link to the rom if that's not too much to ask.
Also did you ever manage to figure out why it was happening?

Its in the general forum aokp b38
Some people say its a software-hardware problem...some people send it off for screen replacement and it fixed it...but I didn't want to send it so I just mod it like this and its working awesome

OK awesome I really don't want to have to send it because I like the amoled screen. There is a forum post that says there is a fix in one of the ota updates don't know what it was exactly though I'll try and find it and report back.

Try this and remap the button....
Button remapper:http://db.tt/FvaH4Wvu
Also install this if needed Keynrtracker: http://db.tt/r6ht9PyT

I'll try this first since I'm trying to stick with my hsdpa uncaoped radio with the matr1x kernel and the crossbones rom and voodoo sound and video.
------------------
Edit: it would appear that the first file "key remapper " worked great and all I needed was root no losing screen space or flashing a new rom. I just remapped key 217 (search key) to the camera focus function. Which shouldn't bother me too much.

Remap keys?

What file contains the softkey mappings, and can it be changed without root?

System_usr_keylayout_generic.kl
And
No.

Thanks.
And,
crap.

So...just checking; I'm looking to swap the "recent apps" and "back" buttons, which are off-display keys, of course. Don't suppose that's in some other file that I can change without root...somehow?
And if I really can't change them, how are after-market keyboards possible?

Keyboards are software.
You're looking to map hardware.
You need root to do that.
There are very easy Play Store apps that (once you're rooted) make it easy (I.e ButtonRemapper)

But of course I can't do that now, given that I can't even RUU back to 1.85.
Man, I know I have short thumbs and all, but does no one else have trouble using the phone right-hand only?

Dude please: I despise the power button. It doesn't click right. I came from a S3 but left it because I hated the home button. Now I found this phone that I completely love,but I hate that button. What we need is a dev to get Sweep2Wake running like on the Tegra model

Yeah the power button could be more clicky. It is hard to press. What i did was flash cm9/10 and use volume wake. WAY better.

Get software home and back buttons?

Hey guys,
I've had my S3 for a couple of weeks now but recently was playing around with my friends nexus with the "soft" home back menu buttons and did some googling but couldn't find anything other then the Button Savior app. I guess that was what i was looking for but i wanted it permanently on the bottom. Thanks in advance.

search around here... its possible.

Also, when following the instructions, be sure to disable the capacitive key backlights in the phone settings before disabling the keys with the mod. This can be done by going to settings, display, and setting capacitive key backlights to always off.
And be sure to thank Sheffy007 (the OP)!
