Volume Control Buttons

hi all
i have a problem, im left handed so the volume buttons are hit constantly...
is there anyway to deactivate this buttons? ive tried looking for an app to reprogram but i cant find one
any ideas
thanks all
JT

try using your right hand anyway, i dont think you can, as you need them to boot into fastboot and stuff :\

glue them with superglue

i just tried holding it with my left hand is so many different positions... (not an innuendo!) and didnt accidentally press the volume buttons once..

how bizarre lol
maybe its the fact i used to holding a diamond, when i grip the phone it catches the piece of my palm between the index finger and thumb.
i'll have to screen lock more i guess

Maybe this will help?:

Btw, Shenshang - If you're left handed I guess you normally hold the phone with the right hand...

External keyboard

I plugged in a external keyboard(IBM/Lenovo Travel keyboard w/ trackpoint and trackpad).
For the most part it worked. I found a few interesting things:
Home - goes to your main home screen( i was using Launcher Pro Plus)
End - locks and turns off screen
Certain Fn keys lock screen
Middle mouse/wheel click - brings up menu
right mouse click - its the "back" menu button
Anyone else try other devices?

Plugged in a Old Logitech Keyboard I Had, You Can Navigate Through Webpages With The Arrows, Tab In Some Cases Brings Up The Search Options, Long Pressing The Home Key Brings Up Recent Apps, And Using The Regular Keys For Writing Works As I Used My Keyboard For This Reply

I bought and use a Maylong 150 KB. Works fine plugged into the USB port.

How do you hold your Note????

I tend to hold my table vertically (maybe from coming from a Ipad) with the home button where its located it's impossible not to hit it or the back or menu button??? I know you can hold it upside down but just seems wrong? Is it just me? I hope I am doing something wrong???

If you're holding it vertically there is no "upside down". Upside down would be landscape with the home button up top. And that's why it has full rotation. You can hold it however you damn well please.

I'm digging portrait mode, holding it in my left hand and using my left thumb to hit the buttons.

I hold mine upside down sometimes, usually when i'm writing so i don't accidentally hit the buttons

If I'm holding the tablet in portrait mode, I hold it with my left hand with the home button facing right and I use my right hand to not the back button to go back on webpages etc. I do wish I can temporary turn off the home button and the capacitive buttons

I hold it with the button on the right (and I leave my back and menu keys lit at all times). Turning it this direction leaves the pen hole on top.

Get a fly grip gravity to hold it. www.flygrip.com
Sent from my SM-P600 using xda app-developers app

Not only how you hold it but how do you lift it from flat table using only one hand??? Impossible to do, big design flaw.
The small bezels on left and right side make it very difficult to hold in landscape mode, older version of 10.1 Note with speakers was somehow better. The best is Nexus 10. Best grip, best fit. My opinion.

Home button is sticking and clicking

Hi everyone, my new S7 edge (1 day old) is having an issue with it's home button, if the button is pressed and there is some directional force towards the left (any right handed user does this), the button sticks for about half a second then pops back up with a loud click.
Does anyone know a quick fix for this issue?
Cheers

Return it would be the best option... It will end up driving you nuts... My first S7 edge had a home button that had to be pressed right in the middle... If I didn't push in the middle it wouldn't register....

I9500 immaculate, left menu & right back buttons at base of screen stopped working

I9500 immaculate, left menu & right back buttons at base of screen stopped working
The touch sensitive menu 'button' to the left of the centred home button,
and the touch sensitive back 'button' to the right of the centred home button,
both don't work. However the central home button does work.
Everything else on the phone works.
I have already replaced the charger port ribbon, but this made no difference.
Has anyone any idea what is wrong and can this be fixed with a new part, or software.

Did they suddenly stopped working? A bit of background info may help more.
