Has anyone else noticed that, at least when using an ICS rom, there is a different level of vibration for the "Home" button and the "back" button? It seems like the back button almost does a quick double vibrate, while the home button only has one. Its pretty annoying trying to get used to it!
Entropy is aware of the issue.

This is because the only ICS ROM bases we have (besides the buggy leak AT&T gave us) are i9100 ROMs... And they don't have a capacitive home button. It'll be fixed soon enough -- it isn't like it's the end of the world anyways.

Hi,
All previous iterations of android phones could be unlocked without using the touchscreen, eg. by tapping the menu button twice. Problem is that the menu button is capacitive on the Nexus. You can't press it with gloves, nor can you slide unlock the screen.
The trackball was useful because you could minimally operate apps with it, like skipping tracks in the music app..
Could it be possible to develop an alternate unlock mecanism, such as drawing a large circle using the trackball ?
I look forward to not having to take off my gloves to skip tracks when skiing
Use your nose jk it would be nice to have another way to unlock.
Or even map it to the volume button (while still requiring the slide-to-unlock) and I'd be happy as a clam. The power button is just hard to reach for some, sometimes.

...always looking out for the dwarfs of the world. very nice of you!
I'd be happy to be able at least wake up the phone with the trackball!
That would be perfect to me...i would assume its just some directory setting..does anyone know how to achieve this?

I did actually contemplate that, but my pride talked me out of doing it on a crowded ski slope.
Probably my biggest con for the phone...unlocking it requires pressing the power button. Someone please hack this!
I'm trying to find the way to wake up with the trackball, but not found
I want to group same number or contact on call log (like as Iphone) also
This is a fantastic idea. I am honestly worried about wearing out the power button. I don't find this a flaw with the nexus, but I would love the option to turning on the screen with one tap and unlocking the phone with a second tap. I know this will make a lot of people happy. can someone please do it?
i'd love a "trackball-on" feature - the g1 could be activated with every button on it.
this was good to unburden the power-button.
There is an app that doing that...Lock 2.0
rename Lock 2.0.zip to Lock 2.0.apk

It costs money, but if you buy the ICE Lockscreen (By appventive), it lets you wake up the screen with the volume rocker. Its also a good thing to have just in case you get into an accident or something happens to you.
This is a feature I have wanted to see since I received the N1 ... I would love to see a Trackball -On feature ......... almost like, I hate to say it .... but how the iphone unlocks.

Then Lock 2.0 would be ideal for you.
I have always hated how we need to press the power button to lock and unlock this thing. Makes me feel like I have an iphone. My G1 and mytouch had the power button at the bottom so it was not a problem.
If I could develop the app I would, but unfortunately I do not know how.

Does that prevent the phone to sleep?

Edit: I just tried it. Even the trackball works!
Update: It's buggy. Doesn't work every single time. Sometimes you'll have to press Power first.

i just tried lock 2.0 and i guess it does the job but its so hideous! none of the themes are formated for the N1. so the background will only reach 75% but it does allow you to turn the screen on via volume switch. if they can do this, then im sure someone else can do this too. idc if i have to pay, i just want my normal 2.1 lock screen and just be able to use the volume or trackball. someone make this happen please! if we ask enough it might just happen
Tried Lock 2.0. Its ok, seem to have some bugs. password protect is a joke. If you press the trackball to wake up, all you have to do is tap the home key and it goes home bypassing the lock screen. You can do that with or without the password protect on. I think it needs some work to be compatable with the nexus one.
Even better if someone could create something, a device, or something so that I could unless my N1 with only the power of my mind itself! thnik2unlock.apk kgo
I use "screen mode widget" from the Market
I'm not sure if the home button on my GS2 is normal... Does anyone elses click loudly when you press it? It just feels strange and I want to make sure it's not faulty...
Cheers
Its a difficult to guess what 'loud' is in this case, mate. But most of the time, buttons need to be worn in for them to work smoothly.
I've only had the GS2 for about 5 days. Hmm, but I was just wondering if all the GS2 click when you press in the home button...
Thanks
Mine clicks. It's a pretty clicky button. But half as loud as a mouse-click.
That sounds about right then. Also if I apply pressure onto the button and don't full depress it, there is a little bit of movement in the button, this is what made me think at first maybe the button got dislodged somehow? But I wasn't sure... Hopefully it's OK.
Cheers
can we adjust the click sound volume level? or disable it (no silence all)?

If you remove the battery you see a small knob which you can rotate. By default it's on position 7 (from 1-10). Which is rather loud. You can turn it anti-clockwise to 1 (least amount of clickety-noise), but if you turn it a bit further (there will be some resistance) you can fully disable the sound the Home button makes.
Next to the knob is also a little switch with which you can disable the Home button lag. By default it's on "Lag" but I usually turn it to "Lagfree". It also made my homescreen-switching smoother, but I think that might be a placebo, not sure.
Hope this helps.
Hello,
My unit has not so such tuning features for home button (and i would love it), very smooth for my taste...
I haven's seen this mod on sgs2, but it would be great to swap som buttons around, especially now on the sgs3...
Unfortunately Samsung have chosen a pretty bad setup now that we're running ics on our phones. The menu button is included in most updated apps these days, so to have a dedicated hardware button for this is very counter productive. And having to hold home, wait seconds to multitask is just plain stupid.
Alas, that's the way it is.
BUT could it not be possible to mod a Rom so that the menu button brings up multitask (currently: "hold home") and holding home brings up menu?
Basically it's just a swapping of the button functions. I guess it can cause some issues with the doubble tap to "siri" voice actions, but I'd happily loose that for better multitask.
Can anybody share some advice on this? Or even create the mod?
-E
Theoretically, yes it's possible.
On my Desire only the power button could wake the phone, but I flashed a mod which enabled wake using the center button.
So for the S3, if there's a dev who wants to swap the keys, he can make one. You can try putting in a request in the Developers section a week or so from when the phone releases.

I remember when that mod came, it made using the desire a lot more efficient. It was a script edit, similar to the one for headphone button support if I remember correctly. I do think this button swapping on the sg3 will be a bit more challenging than that though, but we'll see.
I'll ask around a bit once I get the phone.
Hopefully more people than me will think this is something worth "fixing"
hi there....just wanted to know if there was a way to get a screen capture with any of the hardware buttons. i almost dropped my Note yesterday:crying:and as i caught it my fingers fumbled the power and volume buttons and it took a screen shot. so I'm assuming some combination of those buttons makes it do that. Any ideas what they may be?? i am on Padawan V6.2 rom...which is great by the way.
I think you press the "Home" buttod and "Powes" button at the same time. You can also do it with the S-Pen or by swiping your hand/palm across the screen from right to left.
Its power and volume down.

thanks

it's volume down+ home +power. Of the 3 native ways built into touch wiz that is the most tricky to get right... Everyone I try is of the volume being turned down on my home screen lol

This question is for those of you that enable the on screen nav buttons on the 4.2 builds. Does anyone have issue's with the back button not working, or requiring you to hit the button sometimes numerous times to get it to work? I believe the only 4.2 ROM that doesn't have this issue for me is Paranoid Android. Cant figure out why, and it drives me nuts because I HATE the hardware buttons. Thanks for any input...

I had this problem when i was on an ICS rom on my vzw G-nexus. I just had to continue to wipe data and reflash again. i think it took 2-3 times on CWM recovery.
