I hate the magnifying glass button!

Is it just me, or is the magnifying glass button really annoying. I am always touching it by accident. Then, due to no mulit-tasking, I have to re-load whatever app I had running. This is esspecialy annoying when playing "I Dig It" The joystick is right above the magnafying glass, so very frequently touching that button. I would like to dissable it, but I don't there there is a way.

The search button? Lol there is a way to disable it I believe its an app called button remapper or something like that

pressing the back button in most cases returns whatever you were on last to the same state as before

Ya, but without multi-tasking, the phone has to re-load the app. That can take up to a valuble 10 second...

Is that available in the marketplace. My phone is stock, so no sideloading.

uhhhh not sure what kind of phone you have but if it takes 10 seconds to reload or resume an app...you might want to have it looked at.

And some games it resets them to the beginning. Very irritating.

It's probably also worth noting that, even with Mango's fast task switching, apps may need to be updated to take full advantage of it.
If an app doesn't know about the new dormant app model, then when you switch to it, it may behave the same way it does today as far as thinking it needs to rehydrate its saved state (or restart completely). It will probably still be faster than it is today, even in a worst case scenario, but apps that are updated with the new dormant model will be instantaneous.

Back key problem.

Well maybe this problem is more OS related but i decided to post it here since i own T989.
Every time I open something from Notifications and press the back key.... It always acts like the home button and bring me back to where i left. I HOPE ANDROID APPS CAN AT LEAST INCLUDE A BACK BUTTON JUST LIKE ALL IOS APPS SO THAT PEOPLE CAN HAVE MORE OPTIONS ABOUT WHERE THEY WANT TO GO.

That is exactly how it works it brings you back to where you left off. Most apps you click the top like twitter to bring you to your timeline mention dm etc. I understand how you feel I had an iphone for a couple of months. I didn't know how to get back to where I was before. when i press the button it always took me out of the app to the home screen. That's why I went back to android. If im in the xda app then go to twitter app it will take me back to the xda app.

BACK button difficult to respond

With our beloved HTC Desire devices getting a bit aged, I expect the wear-related problems will start to increase.
I am having an issue with the BACK button (the one with the arrow on, at the bottom, second from the right) that does not respond easily. It takes numerous "convincing" keypress attempts to get it to eventually perform the action. So I guess the switch is worn out?
What would be the easiest way to rectify this problem, or is a patient wait until upgrade-time the answer?

You can try a rom with on screen buttons like the one in my signature! It'll have the same buttons on screen like the galaxy nexus.

Or you could make the d-pad do the back function. System>usr>keylayout and edit the bravo-keypad. I made my search button act like the volume down button, since that one's broken.

It could be the ROM issue too. After changing a couple of roms, I've found that key responsiveness changes, try CM10 based builds. I'm using elk759's

Thank you so much for the suggestions so far! I'll try them out . If anyone has other suggestions, please feel free to help :thumbup:

Home button Is now a menu button and won't change back.......

Hey what's up guys.... for some odd reason my home button is now my menu button and won't change back. I opened up the phone and the connections are right but It still does it. I tried everything and still a no go and don't know what to do next

Do you have xposed installed?

I can't get into download mode or recovery mode so it can't be that

Go to wanam xposed, settings and look for home button behavior. Then change it to default or whatever you want.
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk

Wanam doesn't work till the phone boots up so it's not wanam I already checked it. It's something else that's causing this

Thus should be In the q&a section but I think if you're running xposed and you have Samsung keyboard hold delay module on, it will mess with your physical buttons so disable the module if you have it

I'll have to wait till I get home to take it apart again and go over everything to make sure everything looks good

This is a weird post.
1) Why would you open the phone to check this? did you open the phone and physically do something to it first?
2) You provided no real info about your phone, rooted?, have any root modules installed? Using a different rom?
Sounds like you are messing around and now have messed something up. hard to fathom what the issue is with out any real clue what you are doing to it.

@krelvinaz what's soo weird about the post ??? When the iPhone home button fails it's usually the connection popping off. The note 3 is not hard to work on and I done it before so no its not user error because it happened when I was out for dinner last night and actually the home button stopped working completely and now it's working but as a menu button.. I was running jovys rom and kernel and I wasn't using Wanam or exposed.. right now I am running a stock rooted build of my own with a stock kernel no mods and it's still doing it. I jumped to cm11 and aosp and still does the same thing. I had this note 3 since black Friday so returns are out of the question and I do have insurance but it's bothering me that I can't figure it out lol...Whats funny too the phone vibrates when i push the home button like i am pushing the menu n back keys

Fixed it apparently the Home button has a short/bad connection.. i get my replacement on tuesday but at least for now I can use it

Back button on left issues

Hi all, does anyone encounter any issues when using their back button on the note 10+? Very office I have to tap multiple times in order to return to the previous page. I wonder if this is a ROM issue here.

I'm lefty and I have no issue.
Now I love the app One Hand Operation +
I can swipe to the right for back.
You should try it. It is developed by Samsung

I believe you can switch where the buttons are located. Might have to get to Developer Settings to do it, but I am pretty sure there is a way. I think you can not only switch where the buttons are located, but also add another button into the mix too. Can't remember where I saw the guide on how to do this, but 99% sure you can.

It's not about the back button locating on the left or right, it's about the back button intermittently not working.

My back button works fine. Does it do that for all apps?

It happen in almost all the apps, but intermittently. Sometimes it works by just one tap, sometimes I have to tap 3 to 4 times before it goes back....

i set mine as invisible gesture, no issues in any apps

3 note 10s.. no issues like the OP describes, and ive been setting these things up from a fresh install since wednesday last week, so the back button on all 3 have been put to good use.
i took off the screen protector that came with it and these are unlocked variants...
