[Q] Menu Soft Button - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Guys
I just found the app "Battery Doctor", and on my Z1 Compact, there's next to the "Recent Apps" soft button on the right side a menu button, but I've never seen this in any other application.
Is there a way to enable this menu button all the time or is it only possible with root?
If yes, how is it to be enabled?
Thanks for answers!

[Q] Is there a way to make capacitive menu button work as "recent apps" button?
Is there a way to make capacitive menu button work as "recent apps" button? or swap function with holding down home. In ICS, I use 'recent apps' a lot more than menu (and with menu becoming a 3 dot icon in app anyway). Holding down home button for 1 second is i think too slow, and when you use it a lot, those seconds adds up.

Enable context menu soft-key?

On my Galaxy Nexus, despite the fact that it has a menu button, I would get a menu key in certain apps like Gmail (bottom right) and Market (top right). It would be an additional three-dot button that was essentially menu access, like pressing the menu key.
However, I notice on my SGS3 that these apps and others lack this additional menu button. Is there a way to turn it on/enable it? Like...tell the phone, "Hey, I know you have a menu button, but if the app supports it turn its menu button on too"?
Thanks in advance!

How to open in app menu?

Hi all. It may seem a silly question and probably it is but there are apps (in this case Touchdown mail client) that haven't an icon to open the in app settings menu. With my previous phones I used a physical button, usually long press on the back button, to open it. But how to do it with the single button p9000? Thank you.
Very good question, they seem to have forgotten about apps that need a physical key for menu, have you tried enabling the softkeys to see if the menu button appears on them for you? Can the "Smart Button" not be setup to be the menu key? or is it only to open apps? I not played with it myself..
Still searching how to have the MENU inside applications, softkeys does not work !
I would ask the software maker! The phone maker won't add more physical buttons.
And multiple press are always software driven!
Even if the phone maker did, that won't help you out with the old hardware...
Doesn't seem to be an answer anywhere online so here goes:
Go to settings > Navigation bar > Turn On.
Go to app you need a menu on > swipe up from bottom to bring up the Nav bar.
Three dots appear on the end of the nav bar. Done.
If the three dots don't appear; click on the recent tasks button and then go back into the app and they should come up.
Tried and tested with EZ Drop.
- Doesn't seem to work with apps with the built in "three dots" menu.
I use ‘Menu Button (No root)’ by JetToast free on the Play store, to get round this problem.

Question Any way to remap the power button without root?

The title says all, fact is that I find pretty irritating that the power button doesn't do the only thing it should do, any way to fix it? Maybe I'm missing something in the settings?
I use it for "ok google".
To turning off the phone instead, I resolved using Macrodroid app ((( https://play .google. com/store/apps/details?id=com.arlosoft.macrodroid&hl=en_GB ))) and set a button widjet on screen (or on the collapse title o wherever you want) with when I trigger it star action "power options". Working without root certified.
Done
Settings > Additional Settings > Power Button > Press and hold power button > Power Menu
