[Q] Edit Contacts / GPS errors

Hey guys, so I have a fresh CM10 running and I have a few questions
This may sound ridiculous, but how in the world do I edit / remove a contact? I've long-pressed, swiped, double tapped, nothing opens a menu, and there is no menu button?
Secondly - I have noticed since installing CM10 my GPS doesn't work, at all. Any advice on where to go with that?

Bump. Surely someone else has had this error it being the most popular rom?

I'm not on CM, i'm on AOKP but the process should be similar. Contacts>(choose one)>Options key (Usually remapped to right most capacitive key)
What ROM did you come from? What build are you on now? What all did you wipe before and after you flashed? I hope I can somewhat help you!

O wait some ROMs have remapping and don't have a menu button stock. Go dig in settings/ ROM controls and try to remap a button to "Menu". Maybe that will work?

I can't seem to find any rom controls. This is kind of silly though I mean a menu button should be present in every menu.... Kinda disappointed that I have to do this with such a well known rom.
I came from a fresh root and wipe / unlock.

I am on PACman which has a base of CM10.
Try going to settings -> System -> Hardware keys -> enable custom actions and it should give you the option to set up a long press remap for a menu option.

There is no "Hardware keys" section, or custom actions from what I've seen. I've been digging consistently too : /

Let me flash it real quick and see what's going on with this.
EDIT: Flashing now
EDIT2: You say there isn't a "hardware keys" section under system? I beg to differ. I found it first attempt.
open your settings
you have wireless netwroks at the top of your settings
under the wireless network section you should have interface
in the interface section is system
click that
the bottom option is hardware keys
click that and have fun.

THANK YOU!
So much. Good grief ! Why is this not set by default?? I can just set it to "Home Long Press" and boom, done. So simple, should be on by default and clearly I am blind btw. lol

I understand. All AOSP ROMs are completely custom to the user, meaning they can program what buttons they want to do what. Which is why it's not set as default. And yes, you are blind.
Also, edit your title and put solved in it. That way someone doesn't come in here and try and answer this a month down the road, when it's already been answered.

Buttons

If I root my device, can I change button's standings? It's very irritating that every time I press power button, at the same time I press volume down and phone takes screen capture!?!
Or is there something wrong with my fingers

It's not just you...

If you root and install xposed framework there are xposed modules that let you pretty much configure anything you want.
http://www.addictivetips.com/android/xposed-additions/
That module specifically handles remapping hardware buttons which is what you are trying to accomplish.
Personally I prefer just adding screenshot to the power down menu but since Alcatel skinned it none of the modules to add "Advanced Power Menu" appear to work.

It's a design flaw. The way they've positioned the power button opposite the volume buttons makes this kind of mistake inevitable. They probably should have known better in that plenty of other devices have their buttons positioned in ways that avoid the likelihood of this happening.
ROMs (for other devices) and xPosed modules could give you increased options for the behavior of the volume up and down buttons, but I don't know that you can avoid this particular problem altogether. At best, you can probably trade one problem for another. You'll probably just adapt to it after awhile and learn to hold the device in a way that prevents this from happening. Hopefully, TCL will change the button locations on the next iteration of the phone.

If I didn't need the screenshot at all I'd just disable the power/vol up combo entirely in the rom. If I did I'd install a screenshot app and pin the screenshot icon to the notification pulldown using app "Hangar".

Ok, thanks. Maybe I just root my phone and install xposed framework.
I'm just waiting for my first update. My phone firmware is still 5.0.2-010 01
I don't know why I haven't got even my first update, it should be 5.0.2-010 03
I live in Finland. Phone is 6045Y

The system image thread has the newer versions of your firmware (twrp backup images) and you could do your own updating if you wished.....

Talking about the buttons, i'm very iritated by something with this phone: long press on Vol+ (and vice versa) doesn't skip to the next song in music players ... (like on most phones I had in the past) do you think it's possible to map this behavior by using your method , or is there any chance that Alcatel implement this on futur firmwares ? I don't think it's something complicated for them, ... thanks

Why don't you make a backup and try it for yourself then report back to let us know? I found that module with a few minutes of googl'ing. I don't use it myself so how would I know?

Have you noticed that in some apps that are on full screen nav bars disapear? For example i use lgcamera and when i want to get out from app i cannot do it in different way than going to gallery to have those buttons. In some apps i dont have that "option" so i need to pull down panel and enter to settings. This is really anoying. Or maybe i have kosher model

Typically "full screen apps" have an option in settings to enable/disable that feature. In lenovo and moto camera if you tap the bottom where the back arrow should be it shows up and then you can exit.

Well, i do not see that kind of option in app. Alcatels camera have back button, but not in lgcamera and few other apps unfortunatelly. So it seems that i have very strange version of android, or maybe those are the bugs that will dissapear after upgrade, if finally it will be released for my country. I believe that CM will be faster

No, I have done nothing like that. The volume slider bar moved down accidentally when I was trying to press the power button. Now I want to put it back at the top of the screen as it was before. Can you help me?

Yes I have found work around like using navigation buttons and long pressing recents button. But was just curious as to why there isn't an actual button on the app like three dots overflow or something. Thought maybe there was a settings in OOS I was missing. I still would like to hear from others to see if they have same issue as in mu screenshot.

Free TiBa 8.31 version
Sent from my ONEPLUS A6003 using Tapatalk

I also have 8.31 (but Pro version). I use navigation gestures and have NO menu button....

I have the same issue as well. I think it's a bug. I've had this issue before too and it went away automatically. The menu button just appeared all of a sudden

I'm on Pro 8.3.1 (N5X and GZosp Pie with Oneplus-like gestures). No menu, neither in 8.2.2.
Solution: tab Overview >problems >settings.
Sorry, it's mentioned in #5 yet.

How to get Pie style power menu?

Hi all,
I've received the Pie update, and with some tweaks I'm kind of satisfied.
My current problem is that HTC managed to include the new volume menu (the one that shows on the side of the screen when you press a volume button) but somehow forgot to add the similarly styled power menu.
Anybody knows of any alternative to getting that power menu?
Thank you all for your time!

Unfortunately not.

Hi,
In this menu, a small toothed wheel underneath, which develops all the functions of sound.

Sorry, you misunderstood me.
I'm not interested in the sound menu.
I want the power menu to be in similar style to the sound menu.
