Hi,
I'm thinking buying classic, but I'm wondering...
I have a gear fit and it has the function to change the arm you are wearing it.
I'm wearing watch in my right wrist.
The buttons are on the wrong side of the watch. Is it possible to turn watch upside down the way that buttons are on the left side? It would be easier to push buttons?
Hi,
I have not seen anything in the settings to flip the orientation of the watch if you were to flip it for the other hand.
I have the cellular data version and not the classic though, not sure if that will make a difference or not.
Hey at the moment the classic doesnt flip.
The only button that's arguably trickier to press with the watch on the right is the back button and that only ever has one function (no matter what screen you are on) which you can achieve by swiping down from the top.
I'm right handed and usually wear my watch on the left wrist. But to be honest, I actually find it easier to press the menu button with my left hand (ie with the watch on my right wrist)... not that you need to press either of the buttons that often.
The only time i use the buttons is when im exercising (i have the double press on the menu button to open s health) so I wear my watch on the right.
Hopefully it doesn't stop you from buying the classic!

There used to be two onscreen button (Answer and To_Voicemail) on incoming calls on the G1/Android. See image 8 at http://www.helloandroid.com/node/258 . I dont see them on my G1. Is there some setting to enable them, or did Google take them away in their infinite wisdom?
yep they're gone. the link of pictures you provided was from the v0.8(?) sdk
It was kinda redundant as the answer/decline hardware buttons are right below the screen
Still it would be nice to have it. Its there is all WIndows Phone does your Phone have Hardware Button or not. It fact Pressing on Screen is easy rather then Hitting then Button Beyond Body level in G1
The phone has tiny hardware buttons, it would be a lot more convenient to have those large on-screen touch buttons. It was retarded for them to take that away.
Report issue at Open Source Android Site, They will answer that

it is not hard to press, stop crying, on other HTC the answer and hangup button on the screen caused problems, trying to get the phoen out the holster and it touches one of those buttons, and maybe you didnt want to answer the phone for that person, i am glad the buttons are hard to press because i dont want to be answering the phone trying to get it off my hip to see who it is.
Why is it so hard to push the left and right keys? they should have made it just like the up and down keys.
I want to play frogger and you just cant do it lol
Is there anyway around this?
I agree. It is SOO HARD
is there any way to "hard mod" it by like dremaling holes in the faceplate and just attaching little button nubs to the sensor? anyone tried this? i would rather it worked than looked pretty....seriously htc, what the heck.
just find the point between the home icon and phone icon an press it over and over on each side it really is a "sweet spot" as described in another thread. Once you get it it will come naturally, at least for me it did

I've had my Fuze since launch and it is still hit and miss. The bad thing is gaming, when you really rely on the buttons... you don't have time to look down and get the thumb placement 100% right. This is the problem.
What I would LOVE to see happen is to completely get rid of the Today and Back buttons, since I never use them anyway. The Red End key works as a Today button and I'm accustomed to using the X close button to minimize/close my apps.
With the Today and Back buttons disabled it would be much easier to use Left/Right because then you wouldn't have to worry about ending up at the today screen.
OR an even better solution would be to simply re-assign the Today and Back keys as softkeys (which could then be reassigned in the game's button mapping) or remap the hard keys to Left/Right for easy use. Either way it would work pretty well.
For the time being... I wonder if you could place a small circular sticker on the "correct" placement... thus fooling the sensor that every time it is pressed it "see's" the sticker thinking it is your thumb and triggers left/right actions.
OR if that doesn't work... what about finding the correct placement location and installing some kind of "dimple". Like a small half-bubble-like sticker that will enable you to "feel" where the correct spot is. This way when your playing, you could at least find the dimple, and press... all without looking.
Just a few ideas. I haven't tried any of them, so if anything works let me know.
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,
is it possible to Rotate the Screen 180 Degree?
I want to wear the watch on the right Hand and have the Buttons on the Left Side!
Greetings
I read through the entire owners manual and I did not see anything about switching it. I even tried putting it on my right arm and it didnt recognize being rotated nor did the wake up command work correctly. Unless I'm missing something I don't see a way.
Thank you but this is really disappointing
No option to toggle left or right hands (only right). Silly since Gear Fit can do it.
When I hold my phone the bottom rests on my pinkie. Ever since getting the phone, having it rest on my pinkie will activate the recent apps button and trigger multi window. It's like the frame is contacting the capacitive key and acting as a conductor. Not sure if I should return it or if it's normal?
I have this issue of S7 flat. Not always but randomly, e.g. I swipe down and application switch enables itself. Or I press the button and multi window dialog displays.
Same thing is happening to me. Randomly comes up when my finger is on the bottom left side.
sadly me too also ... i reported samsung and they told they will call back . nobody called till now.. i think samsung did some wrong on recent app button hardware.. i am having s7 edge.
Me too
Back too
Sides as well
Overall, I find the screen and the capacitative buttons way too sensitive
Looks like this 42mb update fixed it as I can not reproduce it
The update did not fix it for me. I'm still finding that when my thumb isn't even touching the back button, but just hovering over it a few mm, that it activates the back button. Also, when scrolling through pages, I've noticed ghost button presses of the back button.
Having the same issue on my s6 edge, it's like my pinkie somehow triggers the recent apps button and after that, if i press a little bit to the left of my back button, it will always trigger recent apps. Usually happens when im in bed browsing something on the phone and it gets tilted to the left side. Only reboot seems to be helping to get rid of it.
i have the same issue. It doesnt bother too much atm, but it can become annoying. Im using s7 edge exynos variant. There are quite a few reports on internet about it, but no solution yet
