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

Just jumped from a diamond to a pro which I'm loving except I hate the fact that the pro wakes up if you slide the keyboard Has anyone found a trick to turn this option off?
Help me out here, i've been trying to figure out what you wanna do with your phone, when you slide it out and you don't want it to wake up, but exept using it as a slightly unefficient ninja star, i don't find a way.
I just dont want it to "wake up" when moving around in my pocket
Yes,it's quite annoying for me as well,but I can live with it. In the pocket I don't see any problem,because I need to slide relatively long stroke out(>1cm) to get a reaction,which I cannot accidentialy activate(in comparison with Kaiser it is very good-it's reaction is 3mm). But for me is bad,that I cannot disable autorotation while slideout.
I tried searching, so forgive me if this has already been addressed, but is there a way to temporarily disable the capacitive (menu and back) buttons? Sometimes when I am playing games or watching vid's with my phone in landscape I inadvertently hit the buttons with my palm. I know on my Transformer Prime we have the option to touch a small lock icon on the screen and swipe it to lock the on screen buttons while gaming etc. I am looking for a similar method do disable these buttons so I don't keep constantly undoing my last move in solitaire!
Thanks and any help is appreciated,
Mike
Hi,
I have a Galaxy S6 and I am new to android. I find the phone to be really interesting but one thing that keeps catching me out is the 2 buttons on the bottom of the phone, the back button and the “stack” button which loads all open apps. I am always pressing these by accident and would love to disable them, is this possible?
Not unless you want to root and modify things you don't yet know about as an Android newcomer. I'd suggest you stay away from that for now and just get used to being careful about the location of the capacitative buttons. :good:
It's just a matter of getting used to them, I'm afraid. However, if you want to avoid accidental hits at specific times such as when watching movies or playing games, they can actually be disabled without root. All you need to do is enable a feature called Interaction control under Accessibility settings. Once that's done, simply hold Home and Volume down and tap "Done" and you will see the buttons don't work anymore. Hold down Home and Volume down again to go back to normal. Quite handy really once you know it's there.
You can disable the capacitive buttons (or make them do other things) with an app called All in one Gestures
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.

What is a game toll?

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.
The main reason I started using MX Player was the availability of the Kids Lock plugin. My daughter grew up watching videos on my Samsung Galaxy Tab. Now I have a new Samsung Galaxy S7 and I would like my son to be able to do the same thing. However, the Kids Lock does not lock either the hardware "Home" key or the soft "Recents" key, which are located at the bottom, below the touch screen. It does lock the touch screen and the Back key. But it doesn't take long for tiny fingers to find one of those two buttons and stop the playback. I'm sure there's nothing I can do to fix that, so I would just like to point out this problem and hope that someone can correct it.

There is no official way of locking down the screen while showing the contents. MX Player uses some tricks to block user inputs. Unfortunately some hardware keys (Recent button, Power Button) can't be blocked by third party apps.
