[Q] Recovering Home, LAB and RAB buttons - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Silly Q..I seem to have deleted my LAB, Home and RAB buttons from my HOME screen. I pressed on the buttons a little too long and it disappeared. I can't seem to bring it back.
TIA

Never mind...I just rebooted my phone and all those buttons came back.

FakeCursor

Does anyone have experience in configuring FakeCursor?
I've kind of got it to work so far, I've assigned a hardware button to launch FakeCursor via it's shortcut, however when I press the button again to turn FakeCursor off it always goes back to the Home screen, which is annoying.
What I'd like to be able to do is just have one button which turns the cursor on and the same button to turn it off? Any ideas how I could get that configured?
Cheers
try sphelper, this is i think better...

I have it mapped with Long_Home.lnk. The cross-hairs will appear for a second, then disappear and only reappear when you move it (with the directional pad).
Hold home to turn it on, hold home to turn it off (it will put you back on the home screen when it exits, this is a [poor] function of FakeCursor).

That's exactly how I have it configured . I was wondering if there was a way it wouldn't dump you back to the home screen, but it seems not?

I'm pretty sure that is a function of FakeCursor, not the mapping. It would be nice, but FakeCursor hasn't been updated for several years.

Old iPhone habits are hard to break...

Hey yall, Back when I didn't know any better I had an iphone and the power button was broken so I had an app that when I double clicked the home button it would turn off the screen.
I went to CM setting and found the thing that let me use the trackball to turn ON the phone, but Is it possible to get something simialer to what I had on the iPhone? a double click to turn off the screen thingy for the trackball?
Reteach yourself to use the power button the correct way.
Yeah that ^
Seriously you are going to kill the life of that track ball lol
I'd like to know an answer to this too, simply because my power button no longer works!

[Q] Search auto opening?

Hey all,
Anyone have the issue where you can shake the phone back and forth and the google search opens up? I know that i'm not hitting the bottom right button, nor am i tapping search on the screen.
Sometimes it's not a big deal, but on phone calls it can really get frustrating.
Thanks

If so, open gesture search, menu options and disable.

Home and back button not functioning properly

Hiya guys,
My home and back buttons don't show any form of backlight. Also when I double tap my home button my recent apps don't appear. When I just press the buttons once, they work like normal. Is there any way to bring the buttons back to normal.
I have a rooted phone with the stock rom.
Thanks in advance

maybe try a custom rom like ViperOne. it could be a hardware issue also

situation with the home button

I have a question for though who has the 8.0 version.
I have a situation with the main home button, it may not be a problem, but just the way it was made, when you press the home button whiles in a app, or the second menu, you have to press directly in the center of the button to return to the home page, at first I had to press twice, and I also notice if you press softly on the edge of the button left or right, there is no reaction (the button does produce a click, as the button seem to be pressed).
is this the same with anyone.

I don't have this problem with mine. I suggest you might have a defective device.

The problem is hard to explain properly, but I think it's normal as my friends tablet is the same.
Lets put it this way.
Have you sometime even pressed the hardware home button, knowing you have pressed it with a click noise thinking it registered a press, then you noticed nothing has happened, then you pressed it the second time and this time the press reacted.
This is the situation with me, then I tested the it further and pressed the button slightly to the right or the left, with no reaction, then you press it direct in the middle and all is fine, it also depend on how firmly you press it.
I think the button is made that way especially since it has the finger touch sensor in the button.
i know what you mean. had this problem one time with an s4. the problem is, the button is not exactly placed on the switch inside. if you press not exactly in the middle, it hangs a little bit. If you can change, change it.

I actually think it's normal, and as you say that the press must be in the middle, I'm ok with that, if it's on the side, then that a very good reason to change it, but it's on the middle, what can I ask for.
I'm just curious whether this situation exist with other units, and I will test this out later on today with many of the display units available at all the in store.

NO such issues on t715..lightly pressed the very corners of the home button and it does what it is supposed to (left and right side...using fingers overlapping the main body and button and then just fingernail itself)
works just fine
Thanks for the reply, I actually see various result, may be mine has a glass protector which is seems like you have to press deeper, and I don't want to remove it just to test it.
Any way having to press right at the center is not really a bad idea, and there won't be any accidental press.
If anything is actually wrong, there is the warranty, or I can just change the home button myself, plenty of spare part available to buy in china.
Just need to know the proper way to open the tablet.
I have T710. The Home button works normally. Just press and it goes home.
I have a question for though who has the 9.7 version.
I have a situation with the main home button and the sleep/wake up button, it may not be a problem, but just the way it was made, when you press the home button and the sleep/wake up button while the tablet is locked in the right side some colorful lines apperas for approx. 0,1 s. Can someone help me with this?
