[Q] How to disable back button while using stylus? - Galaxy Note II General

Hi,
Woud really appreciate if someone could tell me how to disable back button while using stylus? I have a rooted Galaxy Note 2 N7100 phone.
I have already glanced http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2067268 for the solution but it seems it is left unresolved. The "S Pen Only" option only disables finger activities on screen but back and options button at the bottom remains active. While writing I often click the back button accidentally with my palm. Very annoying. Any solution?
Thanks in advance

How to disable screen on / wake up on styus out?

hey guys,
I have a problem. Often when i press (or in pants) the hd-case near the insert stylus, my hd wakes up and the screen glows.
Gyrator tells me, that the sylus-in-out-sensor gives (wrong) informations. The sensor says "stylus out" but the stylus is IN!
How can i disable the wakeup on stylus in/out (registry?)
thanks for your help guys!

you must be pressing so much, i just tried to press mine and pull the stylus a little from the case, and my displays does not turn on.

Yes, it seems that is a bug of my device.
I am searching for the registry-key to disable the function
Please help me, guys!
Please, has anyone an idea?

Hi Nick,
did you check the following registry key (e.g using PHM Registry editor):
HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\StylusOutStatus
0 means Stylus IN
1 means Stylus OUT
It is possible that the sensor has shifted from place. I know that others had this too with a Touch Diamond. Probably it is best to remove the back plate, remove the battery and look if you can find something wrong where the Stylus is inserted.
Looks like a hardware problem

locking on vanilla android 2.1

hi,
i have the following problem.
If you lock your phone via hang up key you can simply activate it via home button (press twice).
I desperatly look for a possibility to deactivate this behavior, cause i already phoned like 1 hour accidentially with this "bug".
Any help appreciated!
I think setting up lock pattern will help. Even if the phone wakes up it won't be able to make calls or other unwanted stuff.
i have the standard unlocking slider, which is really fine.
the problem is that you can go around it with the home button.
so i think using a patting will not help
i have to disable the home button while the screen is off or something.

You can't "go around" the lock pattern with home button. So the device still can wake up in your pocket but can't make a phone call
I think this is the only real workaround for this problem (apart from building your own kernel with altered button mapping)

Back Button Problem

This might be a relatively small problem but it can be a little annoying. The back button (right side of the menu button) seems to be a little less responsive and 'smaller' than the options button (left side of the menu button).
By smaller I mean I need to click it exactly at the right spot and the button reponsive 'area' seems to be very small compare to option button which seems to take up most of the left side allocated to it.
I am not sure if this is intented or some kind of software/hardware fault?
I read about upgrading touchpad firmware through *#*#2663#*#* but there are reports than this could brake the buttons completly.
If anyone has any information it will be greatly appreciated.
P.S phone is not rooted and I bought it from vodafone Ireland.
there are a few threads on the hardware buttons not working correctly try the search.
I found one about the back button, not a lot of info though.

I have the same issue but also to another extent. Mine has an issue where sometimes it will double tap when I only press it once. This can get annoying. I do have a screen protector on and I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.
Same thing happens to me ... but Its kinda rare(I am not using a screen protector). Does anyone know a solution? should updating firmware fix this?
I am thinking about asking for a replacement.
Replace it, same problem with my first unit, 20% of the presses didn't register

I thought it was just me with the double tap when i press it once lol. Grrr its annoying man! :[email protected]

So the only way to fix it is to replace it?
I would imagine someone can make a mod to the touchkeys for like a certain millisecond delay between presses to fix the double tap. People have patched hardware keyboards for stuff similar to that.
As far as the non-registering presses, that might have something to do with delay too. A smart developer would have to try and look at it though I'm just guessing here.
I haven't noticed the non-registered presses in a while, not sure if it went away with a new kernel or if I just got used to how to press it to make it work. The double tap happens more often to me now lol.
Happened to me on my first unit, back button was only responding about 50-60% of the time, on the 2nd phone back button was extremely sensitive ( as sensitive as the SAMOLED screen which is a huge plus) 3rd phone seems "normal"
Galaxy S2 back button getting pressed twice on a single press.
When I am in 2nd/3rd level screen of an app, back and menu button lights go off(but screen is on). While pressing back button sometimes it's going back 2 levels with one, single press! As if I have pressed it twice. It doesn't happen always though.
Is there any fix for this?
PS: I am using a screen protector. Will remove it and see if that's the culprit or not.
u shud b thankful mate..my home butoon stopped responding at all
Hi,
Sorry to hear that.
But how did it happen? And how old is your phone? It must be still under warranty. Did you try taking it to the service center?
Back button problem sgs 2
I was also having this annoying problem.....searched over XDA....and found some tricky (fishy) codes for updating touch firmware.....which may end up braking those keys....so i stayed away from those tricks..
i googled again and found one method which finally worked for me
To get sgs2 into sleep use power button...nd for waking up use home (centre) button...this worked for me

Odp: Back Button Problem
Sorry for digging it up. I have the same issue, sometimes back button is acting like it was tapped twice. Is there any sofware solution instead of replace any parts?

[Q] Back key pressing by itself

Good day everyone!
I am having problem with the back key of my S4. Sometimes when I press the '.' key it automatically presses the back key, so when typing an SMS, it hides the keyboard when typing, which is kinda annoying. And the frustrating thing is that the backlight of the soft keys isn't turned on, which does when you press one of the soft keys. Anyone lese having the problem? A solution, perhaps?
Regards.
Help please........

Thanks for your reply, I know how to enable backlighting of sof keys, but what I wanted to say was that this happens only when the unintentional back key is pressed, the backlighting is normal when I actually press the back key.
Hi rat. Thank god I found someone that has the same issue, I also bought a SAMSUNG GALAXY S4 GT19500. and Yes I have been having this issue for 2days now. The TWO SOFT keys( Menu and Back), started to AUTO PRESS! I cant even text on my phone, but somehow when the issue disappears when I went to work @ work yesterday. So i thought the issue is just some glitch as I have not experienced it when using the phone for the whole week. Now the issue reappeared again I am upset, Please if you are able to find some workaround to permanently fixed this. Please message me here or please email me @Lovelo[email protected] Thank you very much. I will wait for your reply. Thanks!
I have the same kind of issues with Sony xperia z tablet. My suspicion was that it's reaction to some movement - but sometimes it does this when laying absolutely still. Os is 4.3 just updated and this bug was before and after the update. Most trouble is press of a back button - I mean mostly that))) but once it just started to type random things in search line.... Paranormal f...ing activity altogether...

Xposed has gravity box and you can enable soft keys. Good luck
Sent from the first Samsung Galaxy ever
i tried gravity box but my systemui keeps crashing so i tried the one handed operation built in but it sucks. then i tried both Handy Soft Keys and Ultimate Dynamic Navbar which both work great. i have mixed feelings over both which i think can be improved so i will email the devs with my suggestions. thanks for the help guys!
not sure if this is offtopic but i am for some reason getting random Recents and/or Back button presses with and without these addons so i am not sure if somehow the cut flex is making some sort of contact every now and then. i find it odd since the back button is completely gone.
and on a way off topic, i am having issues with the spen not being detected as attached to the phone. i have checked the s pen settings and also did the walk away test which didnt alert me. note sure wtf is going on.
