AE button plus - question

Hi,
I have the following problem with AE Button plus with my Touch HD.
I had the problem with closing the phone during i was taking it out of my pocket.
I installed AE Button plus and assigned only to the Red button a function. All is OK, when the phone is ringing the Red button is not working, but the problem is, that when i pick up, it is not working again and i have to end the call with the touch screen button and it is very annoying.Is it possible this Red button function to work only up to the moment i have answered and after that to have normal button functionallity?
PS. Sorry for my bad English!

AE Button Plus - please help
Please, help me with the above issue!
Thanks in advance!

why is it annoying to use the touch screen to end the call?
I would suggest to leave alone the single click of red button but instead map a double click function you want to the red button.

I've had this problem previously. I love AEBPlus and think it is probably the best app on the phone. You need to uncheck the option under 'other options' for 'drop on red key'. Paradoxically this should not be checked. When checked I cannot drop on red key but when unchecked I can end call using this hardway end key. Let me know how you get on!

The AE Button Plus didn't seem to work on my Blackstone (HD). It would work after being reset but after a while, the mapping has no effect anymore. I want to map the volume up/down button to "Up/Down Arrow" and the Long Press of the Volume Up button to run the S2U2 application. Anyone has similar issues?

I have problems with AEButton too. I assign "volume up" to turn display on/off at one click. Sometimes, it works. Sometimes, it brings up the voume control. Annoying.

That is exactly my problem. I should not have paid for the software if I knew that it works intermittently.

Do you have some taskbar installed? Try to remove.

Access to bottom three buttons via bluetooth keyboard or mouse

Hi,
I have the cheapest bluetooth mouse and keyboard going, so I'm not sure whats available in the high end. However I have notice that when navigating the SGS3 with a mouse I can not access any of the bottom buttons (menu, home, back). With the keyboard it is a bit easier since I can use the Esc key to control the back button. I'm not to worried about getting the home button, but I think it would be good to have access the menu button (bottom left). Sometimes I use a credit card stand and I'm a bit worried about knocking it over when I press the menu button.
Anyone know how to create a software version of the menu button? Or even better, does anyone know a keyboard or mouse trick to toggle it?
Cheers,
Stui

I found an App that will solve the problem

Ok, I went hunting around the Play Store and found 'External Keyboard Helper Pro' which enables the user to map whatever keyboard value to whatever Android function they want (and more). I was able to map the Home and Menu buttons to unused keys on the Bluetooth keyboard. I also discovered that Alt Tab switches tasks (but you have to touch or click the screen to stay on the task switch screen).
hope this helps anyone who is at this stage of PCing up their SGS3.

Sure helps. thanks mate.
I wish the same mapping can be done for the mouse, as most of the time i would use the mouse to navigate back and forth into and out of menus, currently i cant find a mouse that has a menu button and a home button.
If you click and hold you get the menu for an item, but not the main app menu.

Hi, by self-trying I've also discovered the following keys that work without any external software:
CTRL+ESC = Menu key
ALT+ESC = Home key
ALT+TAB = Task manager (briefly hit the two keys, then use arrows to select the app)
So, although after a year, you get your answer! :good:

Scroll wheel click is the Home button and right click is the back button. I can't find a way to do the Recents button, though.

Awesome. I had been searching for this for quite some time.

Is there a way to make the right click act as a long click instead? I have having to long click when you have a button performing functions that could be done in an easier fashion. Meanwhile, a true right click feature would be amazing.

All of the above is correct. Also, Mouse Button 4 (which normally maps to "Back" in the Browser) opens the recently opened programs view.

[Q] Disaable Hardware Keys While On-Screen Keyboard On

As the question said, is there a way to disable the Hardware Keys on the HTC One when an on-screen keyboard is on? It is a tad inconvenient rapid-typing with the Swiftkey Keyboard and I hit the home button when trying to put down a punctuation.

Same thing happens to me. I either hit the back button and the keyboard goes away, or I hit the home button. Ugh so frustrating when that happens!

But then what happens when your stuck on a screen when clicking above it wont make the keyboard go away?

[Q] Control tab with remote?

I'm trying for a more permeate install of my galaxy tab3 and the main issues I'm facing will be no access to the following:
Home button
Power button
Volume buttons
Are there any options for a remote control with either the galaxy s4 rooted phone or just a standard remote control?
Again just to clarify, I do not want to use the tab as a remote, but use a remote too control the tab. Thanks all!

Use a Bluetooth input device like a Bluetooth keyboard or mouse. Even those not specifically made for android will work, a mouse's right button will work as a back button, a keyboards windows button should work as home and esc should work as back...

What about powering on once it's powered completely off? I know there's apps to power off that sort of solve the problem, but how would I turn it back on without access directly to the power button?
Even if i just leave it on until it dies, which I'm sure isn't good for it, once it is connected to power it doesn't just turn on, you get that charging screen and the power button still needs to be pressed.
