Dear all,
I have a serious problem. I have activated the speaking (for blind people) option from the accessibility button in the option menu (dont ask me why). Now I hear a loud voice repeating every step or button I press. I cannot turn it off. When I go the option menu I cannot scroll down in order to get to the accessibility button to switch the voice activation (for blind people) off.
I have downloaded Cyanogenmode 11 for samsung galaxy s4 I9505.
Does anyone know how to solve this? Is there another way to get to the accessibility button?
Thanks in advance!:good::good:
IT WORKS no hammer needed...

JUST found your answer!!! Wen in settings touch screen on BOTH sides with a finger and slide both fingers UP and the rest of settings becomes AVAILABLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just did the same thing to try and test a keyboard problem that was typing lots of extra letters that now with voice seems to be gone but the #$%^&*(*&^ voice is making use almost impossible!...
PLEASE let me know if you have come up with a solution short of a Hammer...

Hi everybody,
I too bought this amazing smartphone and I'm definitely happy about it.
I've only a small question: is there any way to put "recent calls" as first page when pressing the "phone-button"?
I mean, pressing the telephone symbol I always get to the keypad, even though I closed it at recent calls.
Is it possible to make it memorize where it was when closed (like running in the background) or to decide which window to open first?
It is getting annoying having to move from the keypad to recent calls each and every time I open it
Thanks in advance
I use call log shortcut (nexmon) for this, install it from Android market and put it instead of phone

Thanks, this was a frustration for me too. Never thought of looking for an app to fix this
Incidentally, is there anyone around with an idea as to how you could remap the 'search' key to perform like a 'call' button (which would also give us the call log)? I still miss having the hardware call button.
Thanks
I'll try with that!
simple and perfect. Thanks!

Pull via adb or using root explorer file thunder_keypad.kl in system/usr/keylayout.
Search in there for search key code and replace the action "search" with CALL.
Save files and reboot.
Now when you press the search button, you have the call log opened ^^
Hi everyone, is there a way to trigger native lockscreen by soft? By example with tasker. Exist a direct access to lt? Thanks anyway.
Short press the power button?

hi, thanks for the reply, but i need to do by soft.
What i really need is to solve a problem that i have with my headset bluetooth.
My x10 is in my pocket, a call get in, i pick up from my headset bluetooth, i hang up and the screen dont go off and then activate anything.
With tasker i do that when i hang up launch an application, (im using right know GoTo lockscreen that activate but a link) but cost my a lot of battery and i dont want to use anymore. for that im looking the way by soft to start lockscreen or switch screen off by soft, is the same.
Thanks
yeah mine does that aswell its not just the bluetooth, even on the native handfree kit it leaves the screen on. the best way to do this is to put hand in pocket then press power button
well i found a way to solve this, with tasker, there are a trigger that works when a call is finish. but tasker run an application when a call is ended and this is what i searching, the application that launch the native lockscreen.
hi,
i've been using the s3 for six month now and finally got all things the way i want (omega v34 rom with perseus kernel and jkay deluxe framework). except for two things i can't seem to find anywhere:
1. lock back and menu buttons option in the quick panel settings. every time i play something or giving the phone to someone else the back\menu button is accidentally triggered causing a "kill app" operation (long press back button to kill app mod is enabled). annoying!
2. in the contacts screen there is an option to scroll a-->z, i have contacts written in other languages and want to rearrange the scroll order and include letters that are in my language (hebrew).
are the two things i wrote already exist, and if not, from whom should i request it?
p.s i know the #2 issue is possible to solve in galaxy s2 with decompiling some apk's- if anybody knows a good guide for s3 it would be great too..
tnx in advance to the repliers!
you can request the first one in the JKay thread in original development. It's a nice idea
Or if you watching a video on YouTube and you can lock the keys with the lock button so that if i give it to my friend and back button is pressed accidentally so it won't kill our take you out of the video.

For some reason, my back button has stopped working. Regardless of which button I press, I get the application task list. I can not figure out how to fix this. I have rebooted a number of times and it still does this.
Same thing here! I already contacted Samsung and Sprint, they don't know how to fix it! Take it to the store to get a replacement !
Same Thing here
Everything was working as expected and the two buttons (Back and running apps) stopped working, i made a factory rest and it did not help, I am suspecting the cover that have magnets in it and I removed it, shut down the phone for few minutes but it did not help, I will try extending the time it is shut down and see the results.

Guys, you can try to pass to Simple mode, and then try if both work, if yes, come back to normal Mode.
Leaving the mobile without my cheap cover that have many magnet resolved the issue and both buttons worked again. Please check if you have a cover that is not supported which is probably the reason for these issues.
I have a similar issue with the note pro using a cheap cover which causes issues pushing the pro to standby while being used.
I can not be sure that the cover is the reason for that, however this resolved the issues for me at least for now. I will try to reproduce it again and check,
Left the Phone with the cover on and same problem pops up again, and when I took the phone from the cover the buttons started working again but after few minutes, the buttons goes bad again (without the cover) so the issue is not the cover. Too bad and don't know what to do except to send it for repair.
Here is a "solution" that has worked for me. My S6 is the Verizon variant, but I think these steps will work on any Service Provider.
Settings > Accessibility > Dexterity and interaction > Assistant menu
From here, toggle the switch to "ON". This will create a hovering circle with a window with four panes inside it. If you interactive with the hovering circle it will open a new window in which you have access to the back and recent apps buttons via an onscreen button.
Not sure what has disabled the hardware buttons, but this should give you access via onscreen software.
I know it's not a true fix, but a work around.
If someone finds a true fix, please post it! But in the meantime ...
I hope this helps!
Found a Solution for me
My back button stopped to work. After trying many different things.
I plugged my earphoneson in..... and surprisingly . Came back to life.
BAck Button & Open Applications Button Not Working on Samsung Glaxy S7 Edge
Hi
i bought Samsung Glaxy S7 Edge just few days ago, up to yesterday everything was fine, but suddenly back button & Multi folder/Application button stopped lightingup and working.
i have tried all the things i knew, rest, factory reset , cache wipe, factory wipe but nothing is working with me.
i cant take it back to the shop where it was bought from because it was in other country.
Any body else having same issue ? or any suggestion ??
BR
On my Galaxy S6 Edge that if you press the back button with your finger covering the whole button, the recent apps thing comes up. Buuut if you press the right side of the button (but don't cover the whole button) then the back button works.....I dunno why. I have to use the Accessability thingy like some iPhones have though for the most part...if anybody finds a better solution then please reply!!!!!
Here is a tip: if you have problems with a hardware button, try using the application "all in one gestures"to change the functionality of some of the buttons. Some features require root, but most just require accessibility
Root yours and enable onscreen navbar.
open dial pad and dial *#2663# then tap tsp fw update it will surely work

Thanks for the temporary fix..
But has anyone got a permanent fix? Having issues with unusable back and recent buttons on my s7.
Buttons were pressed unknowingly whilst in camera mode, perhaps holding down recents button which brings up split screen..looked abit odd when i picked it up!
Very frustrating that there is no fix!
My issue solved by initiating this update.

Since i recently got my OneplusX and use teamspeak quite a bunch, i was wondering how the hell do i disable a longpress on my headset. Everytime i long-press
my headset, google now starts to "listen" for my search. I have no idea how to disable that and was wondering if any of you guys knew! I wanna use longpress as push-to-talk on teamspeak
Thanks in advance!

Hi, go under settings -> buttons -> Home button, set longpress to no action
maybe this helps
Hey bud!,
I tried that, its still starting google voice thingy when i hold my button on my cord
Disable the "App Google", you will get rid of Google Crap Now, the omnipresent search bar, the long press-listen and all.
Notably, you will also loose voice recognition that goes as input method (when the keyboard is present) that's the only thing I find useful.
I tried shutting off the google app in "Currently Executed" apps, but it keeps coming back
Removing from recent app's makes nothing...
Go into Settings -> Apps -> "all" tab -> search for App Google and click "disable"
you can flash othere roms the othere rom can remove the google search
