Heey!
I love my new SGSII, but when I play games I often accidentally press the soft keys with my finger/hand and the game exits.
So I was wondering if it is possible to turn the soft keys off or disable them when playing games.
I hope someone can help me.
Not possible at the moment. You can turn off the backlight, but thats it.

There is one problem that bugs me about those buttons, they wont work if you are pressing the screen at the same time. I play a lot of old games on emulators, it would be great if they could work when you press the screen. Is this working for you and are there any roms/kenels that have this working?
I love my evo 3D but one thing that has been driving me nuts is that whenever im holding it in landscape mode i keep hitting the heat sensitive buttons on the right while playing games or watching movies... this either causes the phone to vibrate or minimizes the app
is there a way to turn off the buttons in landscape mode?

i haven't seen any 3rd party apps which disable these buttons .. the only controls i've seen were for the LED backlight on the buttons, which i don't think is what you're looking for.
i would think, in theory, there should be some type of API an application could tap into which would disable those buttons. the first downside which comes to mind is there is no way to exit out of the application if for some reason the application has any type of issues and the back/home buttons are still disabled.
perhaps with back/home buttons disabled, enable volume rocker to go back to home? the logic starts to get a bit tricky.
the best and most narrowly focused solution which comes to mind would be for the game app developer to handle those buttons during game play. perhaps require the home or back buttons to be held instead of tapped in order to trigger their standard action.
perhaps a 3rd party app could disable tapping the buttons and require them to be held for 5 seconds in order to trigger their standard tapping action?
i know on ics, this is handled a bit better as there are no hardware buttons and they are handled in the software. in the stock ics gallery, the buttons are dimmed to dots instead of their full icons while viewing images, which gives the impression there is greater software control over those buttons than previously.
i'm sure if somebody else has seen any solutions, they'll post up.
hope that helps with a few technical thoughts from the background of an application developer!
Tried searching but I don't know exactly what to call it.
Has the issue with holding your finger in one spot for a long time causes the touch function bug out been fixed yet ?
example ... play a racing game and holding the gas pedal for a while make the touchscreen unresponsive for a few sec's until it resets it self
Is there a app or something that can make the touch key light stay off when using certain apps? For example while playing a game, it would be nice to have the touch key light to stay off while playing.
Hi All,
Anyone know of a app that can lock the screen while still on and soft touch buttons if your watching something on youtube?
Basically my son likes watching youtube but hes a baby so keeps pressing buttons and exiting the app unintentionally.
I was thinking it could be activated or deactivated with a combo button eg vol up and power
Thanks
Ben
