Hey guys
I got the middle housing of my note 2 replaced and then I noticed that the home key (physical) and menu key (capacitive) are doing the same function... they both are functioning as a menu key. And I have no key that functions as a menu key.
The home key is also giving a haptic feedback on pressing which it never used to give before.
I must have damaged something while removing the middle frame.
Any ideas guys?

do you have settings in ROM to test or assign physical buttons?
the only thing I could think of is flex cable, but there is very small chance that 2 buttons are parallel after disassembling. You can re set the flex cable to mainboard
Hi. Thanks for your reply
Yes, im using xposed additions module to re map keys.
The capacitive menu and physical home key both register as "menu" in xposed additions. So im using single tap for home and double tap for recents.
I didnt understand what u mean by reset flex cable to mainboard? Please elaborate.
The repair guy thinks the flex cable is damaged but he says i should be ready for a broken glass while he tries to replace the flex cable. Im not ready for that
@pestycyd what do you mean by parallel? How to check and fix?

Hi guys,
Here is my dream situation:
- Double tap "Hang Up" button to lock the device (I understand this can be done with AEButton Plus, although I haven't tried yet)
- Screen will turn off after a while
- Unlock the device by swiping the finger
At no point are the hardware buttons pressed! My new cover makes touching the power button very hard
Is this possible???
Thanks
They problem, as I am sure you've realized, is that once the phone enters suspended mode the digitizer is disabled (touch) and so are all other non hardware buttons.
I've always had problems with the power button on the HD being a pain in the neck to find and hit, so what I did to rectify this was cut a small hard plastic sticker to the size of the power button and stuck it on there. This helps a lot in not only finding the power button but also pressing it.
(Sticker was a liquid crystal thermometer sticker made by OMEGA: product number RCL-8050/150 I found this to be the perfect width, so I cut off a 1mm sliver off the end)
If you were really stuck on making this work exact as you described, you could prevent the phone from shutting down and just turn off the screen.
(I'm unsure of how the different screen off programs effect the digitizer, my guess it they all disable it at the same time, but I'm sure all that could be seperated.)
However since only the screen would turn off not the device, you'd drain the batter, and its short life would make this not worth it.
Alternate solutions:
Instead of doubletap hangup which you could do through AEButton Plus, but longpress end key can do the same thing just instead by holding the end call key
Also, you configure your phone to wake up at the press of any hardware key, IE the volume buttons on the HD.

Hey,
The power button on my TP2 doesn't work anymore (bad contacts) and I'm able to get around this using WinMo with a simple keyboard remapper to move the functionality to another key. Obviously this isn't a HUGE issue, but I don't have a dedicated home button.
Just wondering if there is any way to do it - even if I had to remap one of the keys on my kb to home would be nice.

In Android your power button is actually the end call button, just like on Android devices.
thanks for the reply reefer. Maybe I didn't make myself clear enough then.
The end call button does indeed turn the phone on/off, but the power button that turns the screen on and off in WinMO is the home button in Android, and it doesn't work on my phone (due to me dropping it a few times...)
I have replaced the screen on my Optimus G (E975k, Telstra) and the menu button works whilst the back is off, but as soon as I put the back on, the menu button doesn't work... super annoying!
I'm not sure if my clumsy attempts to replace the screen have damaged the synaptics ribbon and the cover going on puts pressure in the right spot to stop the ribbon cable making the connection for that button or what, but I'm looking for help getting around this.
Is there a way to make longpress on back arrow to open the menu, if so then 90% of my problems are solved, I can force the onscreen nav buttons to show up and that is great but it seems like a waste of space if I can work around it with a back button long press... I tried a few key remapping apps but they do not seem to be able to do what I want to do... if there is a custom rom that would support this then I would just flash that I guess.
Anyway, help from anyone would be appreciated
Thanks
EDIT: Okay so I edited /system/usr/keylayout/keypad_8064.kl
changed
Key 115 VOLUME UP
to
Key 115 MENU VIRTUAL
This allows me to use the volume up button as the menu button, so I'm out of trouble, but I would still like to map back button long press to the duty rather than lose my volume up button.
Hey man, if ur on stock i think u can use xposed modules for long press behaviors and custom button actions.. Usr gravity box etc.. If u like custom rom, many offer custom button actions

My S3 started randomly rebooting yesterday. The power button also because super sensitive. Just a light brush would cause the phone to register a press.
I edited my .kl files and disabled the power button and remapped it to the volume down button. I haven't had as many problems as I did yesterday but now it shuts down when I plug in the usb cord and it did shut down one more time when I picked it up off my desk.
I thought it was a faulty power button that was causing my phone to reboot but now I'm not so sure. Remapping seems to have helped a little though.
The files I edited were sec_keys.kl and sec_powerkey.kl. For both I disabled key 116 POWER WAKE and remapped it to key 114 which is the volume down key.
Any ideas on how to fix this completely? Is there another power setting I'm missing? I'm 3 months from my upgrade and don't really want to spend cash on this thing.
The power button is a somewhat common issue. Look at some disassembly videos. Maybe you can find a way rig it or replace it. The parts are pretty cheap if youre willing to attempt it.

I think I have mostly solved my issues. I pulled out the power button and I haven't had a problem since. Between that , the remapped power key and the Auto Screen On app I think I can make it till upgrade time.

When the screen is off it works as a finger print scanner.. U just need to tap on the button ..no need to press it.. Have u set up the fingerprint scanner in setting??
When fingerprint gestures are on..Taping the home button acts as a back button whereas pressing the home button acts as a home button..
If these features are not working.. U may have a faulty unit
