1. Call default handler
I think thats what it is but I dont see how to choose that option, any ideas?
In AE Buttons Pluss, select "Left Softkey" for single press of Left Softkey.

Hard reset

I need to make a hardreset om my Cruise. It wount start up.
What do I have to do?.
See 13.3 of your manual!
Press and hold the GPS and IE buttons, and at the same time use the stylus to press the reset button at the bottom of your device.
A message will appear and then you can release the buttons and press the send button (call).
Thanks, you saved my day.
I'm at work an the manual is at home.
Yes and for those looking for the "send" button, it is in fact the "green" button ;-)

A few odd button press questions. Please?

1. Pressing the Volume Up/Down button once will have the Volume Slider appear. Pressing it twice will have it appear, but muted. Is this built-in?
2. Sometimes when I soft key something, especially in messages, the resulting menu will auto-scroll down to the bottom. Why?
Ad.1 In my Vario it changes gradually, even if I press very quickly two times down it just moves 2 times down on a scale.
Ad.2 I've noticed that it happens when I press the soft-key quite long, probably the device already swiches to next menu and then 'thinks' it's a second press - because on the 2nd menu usually in the same place is an arrow that allows you to scroll down.
My question is - in portrait mode i have problems pressing left/right on the phone, the same in landscape mode - up/down. rotating the touchpad works great and moving up/down in portrait / left/right in landscape.
Is this a common problem? Or maybe it's not possible at all?
Normally I use the keyboard's left and right, but if I use the pad's it works fine as well... what exactly is the issue?

I can see something similar:
pressing the Volume Up/Down brings up the volume screen (system/ring in normal mode or the in-call one during calls), and a second press hides it!
No chance to change the volume without touching the screen
seems to be fixes with S2U2 1.36 and these settings

[Q] hardware buttons stuck on long press

I'm running Cyanogenmod 10.1 on my One S with Nova Launcher. I have my hardware keys set so Home key opens up Google Now (search) on long press. Recent apps key on long press is Menu. Every once in a while the phone acts as though I'm long pressing these keys when I single press so I can't get home unless I use the back key. The problem is resolved on reboot but I don't want to reboot everytime this happens. Any idea what could be causing this?

Weird issue with Note 10 Plus when taking it out of my pocket

I have been having this weird issue where, fairly frequently I take my Note 10 Plus out of my pocket and it shows the time, including the seconds, but I can't interact with the screen and the screen won't shut off. The only way to shut it off and/or interact with it is to hit the power button. I set it down and the screen stays on in this state for a long time.
Does anyone know what this is? Is it something to do with the pocket protection? If so, why doesn't it go back to normal when light hits the sensor and/or the proximity sensor isn't covered? It's really annoying and it keeps happening.
turn on your screen with the lockscreen locked. Tap the time. Is that the screen? If so, it's your time getting tapped in your pocket.
You 'back' button should be available. Maybe the gesture if that's the way you have it set

You don't have accidental touch enabled? Check in settings. My phone automatically shows "accidental touch" has blocked screen from touches. Which is good. If you still encounter issues, try wiping cache partition:
Turn off the device.
Press and hold the Volume Up key and the Bixby / Power key.
When the Android logo displays, release both keys.
An 'Installing system update' message will show for 30 - 60 seconds before the Android system recovery menu options appear.
Press the Volume down key several times to highlight wipe cache partition.
Press Bixby / Power key to select.
Press the Volume down key to highlight yes, them and press the Bixby / Power key to select.
When the wipe cache partition is complete, Reboot system now is highlighted.
Press the Bixby / Power key to restart the device.

I have it enabled, but it doesn't seem to be doing the job, at least not with the screen facing my leg.
