It may be a simple issue to fix, but it's annoying that I can't capture my screenshot the power button and volume down combination capture screen. I'm having to go to power menu and selecting screenshot.
Any thoughts as to how I get it back to default?
I'm using Paranoid ROM 4.1-Beta 2.

PA could be using a different method (or keys are remapped when you enable in reboot menu). However it could be an error like Samsung devices have and you need to reboot for it to work (I imagine you've already tried this though)
I'm just saying this just in case because I have come across quite a few people with this issue and they were just doing it wrong.
Power and Volume down at the exact same time. If either are pressed slightly before the other it won't work.
Have you ever been able to elicit the screenshot functionality using the buttons?
If you are rooted use xposed with expansion menu when you press off key only menu Inc screen shot comes up on screen. It's in gravity box and others

Thanks guys. Reboot didn't work and I'm quite aware of how to take a screenshot as I do it often but uninstalling a Xposed module must have fixed.
I was over Xposed with tweaks lol.
Thanks guys.

Recently my power button has gone haywire when i press it, it registers as a long press and brings up the power menu. my screen will cut off and come up randomly sometimes it brings up the power menu. im currently running the latest version of MOAR but couldn't find anything to remap/disable the hardware keys. Does anyone know of an rom that will let me remap/disable the hardware keys or an app that would let me do the same. any help is appreciated thanks in advance.

You can always try "button savior" from google play but if you want a rom that has navigation keys then there are tons such as illusions rom and most of those other 4.2.2 roms
Solved my problem partially with button savior but don't is there a way to disable the hardware key?

The power button failure is a known issue with the S3. They usually replace the phone. FYI. It's commonly known as 'sudden death syndrome'

I looked up the SDS and some aspects of this lead me to believe this isint my issue what I'm having my power button ( I'm guessing due to using over time ) has become sensitive is the best way to put it the slightest touch will bring up as I did a long press to bring up the power menu so having it in my pocket will randomly bring it on and bring the power menu up. I'm still trying to figure out how to disable the key its self. If anyone had any input on how to disable it that would be a good temp fix till I can get an replacement

Well I disabled mine, just pulled the damn thing off and made a shortcut to shut the screen off....works for now until I get it replaced.
To follow up on this, a month and a half later I put my button back in. Guess what, works perfectly.
.....and time to sell lmao
My end goal is to have the phone return to the home screen after waking it up. This question has been asked for many years but there isn't a simple apk to add this feature.
Digging around it seems like we are able to change for sure, but I'm guessing also to add functionality to hardware buttons, power in this case,. While it is not fool proof, adding a step wen "clicking" the power button to put the phone to sleep to return to home screen before the screen goes off seems like the easiest way.
From the other "how to's" on how to re-map buttons brings me to the Generic.kl file from /system/usr/keylayout. There are 5 or so references to the "power".
Can someone point to which key number I want?
How would I add the return to home and still have the screen go off.
Thanks for the help...
Am I the only one that would like to always open their phone to the home screen?

If I am understanding your post correctly,
You can use automate or tasker to set a rule :
If screen off then return to home screen.
Hope that helps.

I didn't know about automate, it's prefect... simple and free...

I am currently using the Galaxy s4 with native keys that are not on screen for home, back, etc. When using navbar / pie and changing home screen the home button on the nav bar / pie does not work if you hit it quickly after you change the screen. Same kind of thing with opening apps if I remember correctly. Is this delay something you see in the OnePlus One as well? Flip a homescreen, hit home on navbar really quick and let me know if you find the phone not responding. It's aa if I need to wait a second for the device to recognize the command although the physical home button works just fine. Just wanna know if this is the case for the 1+1 because I am looking to pick one up shortly, thanks for your time

1. According to Samsung, this is the case
2. Try long pressing the back button
3. Don't know, haven't tried
4. Hold Power & Volume Down for 10 seconds
5. Don't know this either.

Press and hold the recents key. It's been like that since the Note 4
Edit: Actually I just got the phone and the long press doesn't bring up the menu anymore, brings up multi window. Weird

They moved the menu to long pressing the back key.
#6, Yes you can register multiple fingers.
There seems to be bug in note5 software and I've reported it to Samsung. Here are steps to reproduce :
1. Open Google play store
2. Press and hold back button for a few seconds
3. Now the back button will not work in the app so you can not exit unless you force quit it with the task manager!
Please let us know if you have the same issue.

Just tried it and I am able to exit the app. I held it down for 5 secs, 10 secs and 15 secs, and each time I was able to exit the Playstore App. I am on Playstore App 5.10.29.
Thanks for the reply. I installed the latest version of play store and the issue is resolved
Just tried and the bug is there. Not really a big deal as you can just press the home button or recent apps button to get out.
Not sure if people realize this but long press of the back button brings up app menus. It's as if you pressed the menu button.
So to confirm, you are talking about the button on the bottom right side of the phone? With the arrow on it?
I got excited when I saw your comment and tried it as I need menu button in an old app. Well all I got when holding it was the same as pushing the button twice.

It might only work in some apps. It doesnt work for me on tapatalk or Gmail but it works on chrome and nova launcher.
Sure enough, it works for me in chrome. I couldn't replicate in Nova but I just tried from the settings menu. I do sure wish it worked for CraigsNotifica though. It is not being developed anymore as I understand it. I can still use it but the menu button would be a lot better. Well either way thanks for the reply.
