Edit....my bad, thought you were asking, not recommending
I might use these if I didn't have a choice but I have friends still using old captivates and Nexus S's and the like.. Buttons all still work just fine, same as they did when they bought the phone. Not sure why people want to "save" the physical keys. I prefer to use touch recovery as well, but only because its faster..

The hardware buttons used to wear out on the HD2, probably still do, but that's partially due to it's incredible OS longevity.
Use GMD Gesturecontrol for everything. Incredible app.
If your worried about your buttons wearing out, why not be worried about the screen, battery or speaker wearing out? I'm so worried now I just not gonna use my phone at all anymore. Wait, now I'm worried about my legs wearing out. Forget walking.

Physical buttons do wear out over time though, someone who used the same phone as I used to had an issue with his volume buttons wearing out so he could not use CWM and it took us forever to get TWRP ported.

it only eat 1 to 2% of my battery during 8 to 10hrs of sleep mode using this 2 apps and i think they will not wear the screen and speaker by using this.

Wow really, someone softbricked during a flash and it broke their physical keys? Sounds like there's more to that like maybe perhaps they flashed something they shouldn't have But even still that's a different scenario- your physical DONT work. My point was, having your hard keys or physical keys stop working is a pretty rare occurrence. I've never heard if it. Now dropping your phone, f****ing up your phone so the keys don't work is a different story. But as far as "saving" your physical keys.. there's no such thing. What your doing now is not using them... which I guess you could say is saving them... but not really, its more like an alternative

I've never ever heard of physical buttons wearing out. That's a defect and shouldn't happen, within reason. I expect my keys or buttons to last as long as I have the phone. Seriously... how many uses can a person expect to have with a button on a device? Nowadays things are built much better than 10 or even 5 years ago... It/they shouldn't wear out. Not on a phone. Not on a phone that is only a couple years old.

what i mean is if someone already have broken buttons and flashed his phone and suddenly something went wrong and softbricked it, you cant access the recovery or download mode because you have broken keys.
i did not say you dont used your keys, this apps will only help you to used the physical keys often that will save them from wearing out.
i think hardware not created equal maybe someone's key last forever someone in a year or two or broke their keys after warranty period.
this tip is not for all though..

Hey guys,
My power button seems to be pushed in...
it's not that pronounced..
Coming from an S2, the buttons seem/feel really pushed in. i can barely feel it.
I've looked at videos and high quality pictures of S4 on review sites, and they seem to be more popped out.
My power button looks/feels strangely pushed in.
Is this a defective unit?
seems like volume buttons are a bit under-pronounced..
how about you guys?

Compared to my GS2 Skyrocket if feels a lot softer. My GS4 doesn't have the same resistance and travel distance as my Skyrocket but the SRs button was almost flush with the device so to me the GS4 button feels more pronounced.
My s3 was like that. I opened up the phone, cut and placed a tiny piece of scotch tape behind the button to make it stick out a tiny bit more. Worked good, but when I did this the phone wasnt brand new so its your call. Maybe exchange it at the store?

hmm yeah i need to be 100% sure that mine is a defect before trying to exchange it.
I can exchange it for a new phone at the AT&T store right?
would this be a valid reason? I'm worried that they won't let me..
well, I would certainly try while the phone is new. Tell them your are concerned that if its pushed in this much now, that after using the phone for a year ( or however long) that your worried it will be pushed in even more. Worst can happen is they say no. At least you can compare it to another phone anyhow. I will say mine has been like that since I bought it and it has not affected the operation other than having a case over it, then you have to really push the button hard to get it to work through the case, but that was on a certain case, and doesnt seem to be as hard on my other case.

For the wifi connect and disconnect, could it be the power saving thing that was on the S3? From the dialer try *#0011#, then press the menu softkey and select wifi, then turn off the power save mode. I know this would get rid of the constant connect/reconnect on the S 3. Not sure it works on the S 4.
It happened to me too when i switched my skyrocket to the S3. The S3 power button its kinda small and hidden so maybe just need to get a long with it :thumbup:

Picked up my 32 GS4 yesterday and now I am noticing that the home button is sunk in. It's completely flush with the screen. Doesn't stick out at all. It works completely fine, but makes a really audible clicking noise. Obviously Samsung doesn't manufacture these all the same. I am worried if it will get worse in time. A google search brought many results with the GS3's home button. Apparently some think its normal, some don't. I am really fussy when it comes to QC on flagship phones.
Just wondering if anyone else has a sunk in home button?
its normal.
I don't have one yet, but I just wanted to say that I really wish they would have used a capacitive button instead. I work construction, and dust/sand etc. destroys the physical buttons. Also will miss the search button that I have on gs2 I like pressing and holding it for voice search

Yeah. I have noticed a couple Note 2's home buttons being flat, while others were slightly raised. I don't know if its considered not normal, as it functions just fine.
I do not like the loud audible click the button makes. I might try to swap it towards the end of my 14 days.
EDIT: Ok, looking at it really closely, its not completely flat. Maybe a tad lower than the other phones. I don't know, I would hate to return a phone because I'm too OCD.
Mine is slightly raised. Does it function properly? Have good tactile feedback? If so, I would say it's all good.

The home button functions perfectly fine. Since it doesn't stick out, the tactile feedback isn't that great. May take it to AT&T this week. Haven't decided. I am actually more concerned about my power button. Seems very hard to push and mushy, like its not sticking out as much as it should.
My home button is just BARELY above the rest of the phone, but it feels very responsive and a bit 'clicky'. While it's not raised so much, it at least feels really solid.
However my unlock button seems like it's really sunken in and almost hard to press at times, does anyone else have one like that as well?

Thank god, at least I'm not the only one. This is my second s4, I just brought back my first one from HUGE battery issues. Would lose 15-20% while idle while I was asleep.
Already noticed a huge difference with my new one, except now I've noticed the mushed in unlock button. It's functional, it just feels like it has the possibility of eventually getting stuck somehow...Maybe I'm just being overly attentive and sensitive with the new one.

Then exchange it. When they bring your new phone out thoroughly examine it first.
I'm very tempted, but at the same time , I don't wanna be THAT GUY who keeps bringing back phones because one very tiny detail is slightly off-putting of their OCD.

And AT&T kept bringing out S4's and let you have your pick? Must have been nice. My local AT&T store would never do that.
Neither would mine. Best Buy MIGHT, but it's not very nice to make them keep opening boxes of new products. Not sure if they can still sell them as such afterward.
The unlock button does seem more sunken than it should be. Might swing by the ATT store in a day or two just to check out their display...If it's that bad, i'll bring it back to best buy and see if they're willing to do another exchange . I only have 4 days left on my 15 day window unfortunately.
Did you put a screen protector

Mine is raised about 1mm up. On my note II its about 2mm.

I'm also coming from a gs2, and while the lack of a capacitive home button and search button is a bit weird, if you long press the menu button it pulls up search. I know it isn't exactly what you want, but it's close.

I just got my Note last week, and I never realized how often I hold the tablet right in the middle. The buttons are constantly in the way or getting pressed. When I tried to switch holding it on the sides the bezels are so thin that my palm keeps touching the screen. I originally loved the slim bezels, but not so much anymore. Anyways I've started using my tablet upside down now, and it seems to have fixed my problem.
Anyone else experienced this?
Coming from a HP Touchpad, I've come accustomed to on-screen buttons and a single home button. I would love a rom control/mod to turn off the backlight buttons. I have the on-screen navigation bar in the cleanrom and love it. Especially for when using the tablet in portrait mode.
I feel your pains. Button placement is bad. I'm annoyed by the backwards volume buttons the most. Especially when shooting for recovery.

I noticed this problem from day 1. I bought this tablet because of the Spen. I can fill out invoices and make notes. I can then hand the tablet to the customer for their signature. But every time they started signing their name they would press one of the buttons. So now I always hand them the tablet up side down. Works great this way.
So far its not been a problem for me at all but I have to admit i very rarely hold my tablet as its always propped up or on my lap.

The palm rejection from the app I use is good for that. Its not input from the screen that is the problem. Its accidentally pressing the home, back or menu button.

For exchange email , download Gmail exchange apk from APKMIRROR and install it. Don't forget to open unknown sources first.

Same issue for me. Its grounding because my hand is also on the metal frame of the phone. If I put the phone down and tap the home button it registers, same if the phone is flat in my hand and not touching the frame, works perfectly. Really annoying.
Major home button issues for me too. I had to switch to on screen buttons because I was getting too many missed home button taps and it was driving me mad.
Wondering if it's a hardware issue with all of them or just some. Maybe the people who don't have issue just have oilier or sweatier hands as very dry hands seem to make the home button less sensitive.

If you have oily or sweaty hands and not really dry ones then you probably won't have an issue ... until winter.

Haha! Yeah. True. The official forums are full of people getting really irate with this.
Mine's fine -- acts up every now and then. I've added an assistive touch button instead of activating the on-screen nav buttons. Saves space and is generally not intrusive -- sort of like the way Apple's own assistive touch button is.

I love this phone but problems with Home button are a little bit terrifying....Actually I've put my OP2 into gel case and problem with home button is gone...so it is really because of hand touching the bezel...WTH :?
I just believe that the bezel is a touchable one and we will receive some kind of nice feature like grab and squeze a phone to make a screenshot or something...OP please, do not kill my faith in You...

I wish it was a feature, but honestly, it seems like a design flaw. It doesn't seem like it's affecting all the devices, but it definitely is affecting the one that I received today. If I push the home button like a physical button it works fine, but if I tap like a capacitive button it doesn't work often. My guess is that there's no way around this, and that Oneplus won't consider it a problem.

I like both phone but price for Honor 7 is simply just blow OP2 and premium body, Irda, FM radio, Cat 6 and fast charge so Honor 7 is my 1st choice, I am plan to sell OP2 as it comes without even opening as there is NO point keep two phone without NFC as Android pay is just around the corner, As you are having OP2 and H7 I would like opportunity so ask you about with
Which one have better fingerprint reader?
Which is one have better camera quality?
Which one have better screen?
Sound, audio etc.?
Do you think is impossible to put two SIM + 1 SD altogether in slot as somebody scribe in Chinese forum ?
can you advise which one to keep ?
Coming from almost any other Android phone, Samsung can be difficult to get used to. The capacitive buttons, menu and back are swapped on Samsung's as opposed to almost every other phone.
Is there a way to swap the buttons without root?

Coming from almost any other Android phone, Samsung can be difficult to get used to. The capacitive buttons, menu and back are swapped on Samsung's as opposed to almost every other phone.

Probably not. You will get used to it though. What is harder to accept is the clicky home button and inaccurate/slow fingerprint sensor.

Not that I've seen, you need root to mess with key mapping.

My fingerprint scanner is fast and I'd say 90% accurate as long as its dry (been a few times my fingers are wet after eating/drinking that it is unable to read). My problem is sometimes the home button clicks, but does not register. It's not add loss of a click Fogg so I think I'm just not pressing right lol.

Yes. You can swap them. I do it. Use all in one gestures and galaxy buttons. One will swap, the other will turn off the backlight so you don't get confused. No root needed (obviously).

Mine is/was really slow and only seems to work 50 to 75% of the time. Sometimes it takes two or three tries to get it to work. I also hated seeing the Lockscreen before it unlocked. Overall it was a crappy experience and one of the biggest reasons I'm selling it. Oddly enough, TouchPiss isn't one of them.

This gets it done. Thanks.
What about an option to play next / last media track by using the volume keys? Or long press home for torch. I'm on a rooted s3 still and am looking to upgrade but I think remapped buttons will be one of the biggest things I'll miss from xposed.

Check out easyHome in the play store. Changes home button to act like a capacitive button.

Thanks for the suggestion. That app is extremely unreliable and not much use though. Im slowly getting used to the home button.
Is it possible to map a long press of the buttons to a specific button like 'switch to last app' or 'kill foreground app' etc?
