Hi. Has anyone needed to access the configuration settings for Any App? Can you please help me to know what combination of keys to press so I can access the Applications configuration menu? (I was a user of Samsung Galaxy Active S4 before, so the physical button on the left down corner used to allow me to display the Apps settings but I don't see any way to do it in Blu Vivo XL).
As an example, I have bought the App "TouchDown for Smart Phones" from Google Play. After installation I was able to configure it but once installed, I don't see any menu or button for SEttings/configuration. In the Galaxy I used to press the physical button and it displayed the configuration settings screen. How Do I access this menu in BLU VIVO XL Lollipop?
Any comment would help. Thank you in advance.

The settings can be found by swiping up from the bottom and clicking on the settings button to the right of display option. In settings, go to advanced settings and the apps menu will be there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5xP2d9Qrjc

Today I bought the HTC One with the surprise that it doesn't have a dedicated menu button. I am guessing that sometime in the future this will get remedied somehow, but in the meantime is there a workaround for this?
For example, on my previous HTC Desire phone, I was using Launcher8 as my main launcher however to edit its settings I'd need to press the menu button and then press settings.
Without a dedicated menu button, I can't find anyway to change its settings. So is there any way to get around this? or will I need to root my phone and install a new ROM for this? (which I don't want to do at the moment in case I void my warranty).
look for three dots in a line going downward on the screen, press that for the menu, there is no dedicated hard menu button

Yeah I saw the menu icon in some apps, but I tried it on Launcher8 and the only way to access the settings was from the homescreen itself. There are no menu icons to press to get the settings as far as I am seeing.
EDIT: Actually, nevermind. I found that I can make an icon for it.
This will be fixed when HTC finally delivers 4.2.2. The leaked versions let you assign holding down the home button for settings. They should have done it like this in the first place. The 3 dots thing looks hideous.
Hi,
I have a Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 tablet and developed an Android app which shows a webview in fullscreen mode, so no title bar in the app is visible.
The app also consists of an options menu. My problem is that a long press on the tablets menu button ( the button left to the home button) shows the option menu. The options menu should be only opened by a Javascript function I call in my webview.
Since the user should only see / work with the webview I want to disable accessing options menu by long pressing menu button. How can I disable this?
Thanks a lot...

Hi,
please how to get settings option in some apps that don´t have settings button? On my Samsung Siii there is standard Option button that allows me to acces settings and options in all apps. But Z3C has only - Back button, Home Button and Last apps button and I haven´t found standard way how to acces settings as default by Sony.
Some apps like ie "Silent timer" don´t have their own settings button and I´m not able to turn off notification etc.
anyone could advice?
Hi Everyone,
I am using HTC One (M7) unrooted that was recently upgraded to Android Lollipop 5.0.2 and I started noticing a black button with three white dots appearing on my screen when I enter certain apps. Tapping it would just toggle the settings menu in the app. Double tapping it wouldn't do anything. Press hold would enable me to move the button to anywhere I like on the screen.
I have no use for it since I have it set up from my Settings that I would open the settings menu by long pressing my Home button. Does anyone also know of this, and if so, how do I remove it? I attached a screen shot for your reference (look at top right corner). Thanks in advance!
I'm interested in finding a solution to this too. No luck in the default.xml, at least for search terms "overflow" and "menu". MaximusHD 52.0, 5.0.2
Confirming this is really annoying & I'd like to know if there is a way to get rid of it?
Hi, I've got the same with galaxy s6 edge and android 5.0.2
It seems that only apps without direct implementation of the android three dots menu have this problem.
Could somebody help please ?
floating button
Same here. Irritating whilst using Mobo Player
The only way you are gonna get rid of it is to hide it in the app itself. With less and less phone with buttons the more you will see this.
Solution
I found myself frustrated at this myself today.
The solution is to go to Settings > Display > Buttons > Home and change "press and hold" from Google Now to Menu.
That removes the button from all apps, and you can just hold the home button to access the menu for those apps that need it.
I use Tapatalk v2 alot and also some other legacy apps.
Everything is fine on my S6 Edge, but on my N920C I have no 3 dots balloon and therefore I cannot access those app settings.
Does anybody know how to get it back if the device is not rooted?
Long press the back button. If nothing happens the app doesn't support android 5.1 .1 yet. Another way to pull up more options button is via the assistance menu.
Settings >accessibility >dexterity and interaction >assistant menu
Had to get ahold of a 3rd party apps developers to get them to update to support back long press

Hmm thanks, but then it looks & act way different from the one in the S6 Edge (with v5.1.1 too).
Is there really no other fix when it's not a rooted device?

Thank you so much for the recommendation to use the adjustment for dexterity. I spent about 5 hours last night while setting up my S7 Edge - randomly researching how to do this with no luck. I have one "critical" legacy app or folders that I was about to set up manually since I couldn't get to the menu to import my previous settings.
THANK YOU!! WAHOO!! LOL.?
Long press on a blank space on your home screen
you're welcome
I had the three dots before I did a factory reset. Now its gone
