Hello everyone,
I just bought a new HTC 10 Evo from eBay, and unfortunately the app switch button sometimes does not work properly.
Given that I don't have warranty, I rooted the phone, installed MAGISK and then I tried activating the on screen navigation bar.
Unfortunately, I have issues with completely deactivating the capacitive buttons. I tried editing the Generic.kl and other files from the Keylayout folder in SYSTEM, and while the lights of the capacitive buttons don't turn on anymore, the buttons still work when pressed (and vibrate). Does anyone know how to completely deactivate them?
Thanks in advance!

Recently I am having problems with my phone, and am wondering if it is a software or hardware problem.
I have tried loading the TNT4 rom & WS5SE roms (this is a g4), and there is no change (im on the Tnt4 one now).
The touchscreen works okay, but the soft key buttons do not. The right bottom one is okay, the left one triggers the right one, the send button show the letters "uytga" on the phone screen when i press them, the end button shows "mn" or something, the camera button works perfect, the comm manager button is the same as the voice button (even when i map it with a program it says "button 4").
It even happens on the soft keys on the keyboard when i slide it out.
Also I used Start-sSPL to put the roms on. Is there a way I can get the OEM one back on or fix the button problem?
Any help will be appreciated.
Just bought my HD and is loving it. However, the lack of physical buttons is quite frustrating, especially when I am driving.
I like to listen to music with the screen turned off. However, when the screen is off, all the virtual buttons are disabled. Only the physical buttons like the volume and power are active.
Does anyone know if there is a way to enable the virtual buttons even when the screen is off?
i too would be very interested in this. the buttons are not capacitive, but still the ability to wake / power on the phone using the front buttons would be cool
Unfortunately the use of the hardware keys are disabled whilst in standby mode and this cannot be changed
However you can use 3rd party apps like AEBPlus to map other functions to buttons like vol up
i.e.
Volume Up button
One short press > move up
two short press > play
Long press > volume up
and this can be duplicated with different functions to other buttons
Try doing a search for AEB Plus and read up on it. Also search this forum for other methods

I am already using AEBPlus but I need more than 2 buttons. The mapping is done by the application, PocketPlayer, and it doesn't support double press.
Interestingly, when you are making a phone call, the screen will go off initially. You can actually press one of the virtual button to turn the screen back on. So I thought there might be a way to achieve this...
How is your screen getting turned off? By PocketPlayer or by the system's energy-settings? Possibly try Display Switch (yet another little app as Part of psshutXP) for this. Found this in my Touch (ELF) Rom and use it for any app, that doesn't support display-switching itself. Keeps my (hardware)-buttons funktional...

Hi. I have just received my brand new nexus 10 32gb. I have a strange problem. When in portrait mode with the power button at top right I can not use home, back, menu buttons but I can swipe down the notifications from the top. When I invert this so still in portrait mode but with power button bottom left I can then use home etc, but can't swipe down notifications. In landscape it works both ways.
I have tried the obvious powered down and up, also did a factory reset to no avail.
I've just called Google who are going to send me some shipping labels to send it back and get replaced, but I was wondering if any of you clever chaps on the forum could recommend a quick fix so I don't have to send back.
Many thanks.
Dear !
I am user of OnePlus 2 and I have problem with my home button. It is well known problem, but what I should do in such situation - send it with warranty ?
Sometimes id doesn't work and I need to touch it many, many times before it will star working.. :/ I was testing meizu mx5 and there home button was much better. What I should do?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePAjihJJbhg - here is my problem
Everyone knows there is an issue with sensitivity of home button. Hopefully this will be solved by future OTA updates by Oneplus. Till then use on screen buttons or set screen off on long press of Home button and Camera on double tap(Kinda works for me).
fortunately home button is working fine in my phone
but once i changed the double tap functionality to turn the screen off then i observed battery drain
so switched back to do nothing on double tab
Interesting, I have this problem but in reverse. Its activating the home button without me touching it. i tried wiping the button with a cloth but no luck. Had to switch to on-screen buttons. Anybody have a solution?
Hi,
I was wondering if you could disable capacitive buttons and have on screen buttons (that don't cover the apps) on this device without root? I have heard the buttons get pressed accidentally.
Thanks
I want the same thing. because I always bumping the taskview button. I even rotated the display and use the tablet upside down ,so the buttons at the top. and I still bump it sometimes...
