Hey everyone,
I just installed ISC CM9 my SCH i800. I love it so far. The only thing i dont like is having the soft keys. There is no need for them as we have the keys on outside of screen.
Is there any way to remove them? Maybe to get that little bit of screen back at the bottom. I have seen other UIs on other tablets that do this. I just don't know how it is done
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Maybe the term soft key isn't right, I'm talking about the keys on screen.

Okay, my power button went out, which seems from previous posters that it spells the end of the phone. However I pryed mine out, and am SOMETIMES able to get my power button to respond by sticking a knife in there.
My question is can anyone get my an NBH that remaps my power key (or can I make one myself) to another key? I'm not sure what key would be best, I'm guessing power/back, knowing that I'd no longer have the ability to go back, but I only need the work around until the end of July when I can get a new phone... Thanks.

if only there was a Zimage of the super old keymap around
Do you mean a button on the top of the phone?
I got a Polaris (so maby this is not helpful).
But if you got some knowledge with hardware and got calm hands you maby can open your phone.
I had the same problem and my button was broken off from the mainboard. But it was really easy using a soldering iron to fix it.
.......
You should consider this as a possible solution... Its not to hard to open the phone and soldering isnt that hard either. Maby you got a friend that can do this. Or someone in your city does repairs of this kind (each electrican should be able to) its just fixing 4 dots on a 2x2mm big button..

I have it open already... I'm guessing I solder this button to the metal piece... this is pretty precise work but I'm going to try it, nothing to lose...
Well hell, I got it on there, but it's shorted, the power button is always down and I can't figure out how to fix it... I don't understand how this button works as even the design of it makes no sense.
Ok, so I never got it, pretty sure my switch is bad... I can short it out, and use the power button so I have wires sticking out, I'm still looking for an NBH that will let my move my power button to something else... like maybe long hold volume up?
Wonder if it's possible to do something with they keylayout files?
dzo?

Actually, the perfect power button would be the d-pad center button as I don't think I've EVER hit it before...
If someone can help me try to change it, I'd appreciate it. I know the method above won't work as the Vogue gets it's keymap from the kernel. I did some searches for unsungboxer but never found where it was described how to edit the keymap. All I know is it supposedly requires linux.
Somehow i managed to break my soft keys and only the soft keys..
I was drunk and black out so dont ask me what i did or might have done as i have absolutely no idea.
Would any of you have any ideas as to what i could do?
Bump, i guess ill have to send it in and hope it wont cost me too much.
Hey, everyone. I have a question about the hardware keyboard of the Droid 4. First, let me familiarize you with my problem. It's the same problem I had on the Droid 3, and now on my Droid 4. If you press two keys simultaneously, neither register at all for input, or only one of the keys will register. Now, this doesn't apply to all keys; it seems that you can simultaneously press keys and have both register as long as the keys are a sufficient distance apart physically. I'm sure there's a reason for this that I'm not aware of, besides the keys just being far apart. Also, you CAN hold one key and THEN press another and have them both register properly, but I'm trying to instantly press two keys simultaneously and get the proper response.
Is this a hardware issue or a software issue? I wonder if it is a limitation of Gingerbread, so if anyone is running an ICS ROM, could you test this for me? If you press the W and Q keys at the exact same time, do you get both letters? Try it with two fingers just to make sure you're pressing them simultaneously. If anyone can help me or provide information or a solution to this problem, I would greatly appreciate it.
Oh, and in case you are wondering, I want to be able to press two keys at once in order to play games using the keyboard more effectively.
EDIT: I've been messing around with the keyboard, and it seems like any two buttons can be pressed simultaneously as long as they aren't right next to one another physically. To me this suggests that there's some kind of feature on the hardware keyboard that prevents the user from accidentally pressing a button next to the one they intended to press, since the keys are so small. If that's the case, is there some way to disable this feature? I'm just making educated guesses at this point, hoping it isn't a hardware issue. Patiently awaiting a response...
Seems to work for me, I'm on AOKP.
BTW, many keyboards have this issue, even laptops and desktops. However in this case, the issue seems to be software...
Thanks a lot for the response, podspi. I plan to wait for the official ICS rom from Moto, so can you direct me to any possible resources that might fix the issue on my current ROM? I'm running the latest official firmware from Motorola.
Just tried it out, stock doesn't allow you to hit two buttons at once. I honestly really would recommend installing safestrap, and getting an ICS build like AOKP if this is really important to you.
There might be a way to get this functionality under stock GB, but I sadly have no idea where to even start with that
Hi,
I was going crazy trying to figure whi my i9000 doesn't start. I broke the screen and i've replaced this with another. Seeing i wasn't able to boot, i did the Unbreakeable mod wich got me into download mode and i was able to falsh a rom. The problem is that my power button didn't work either to power off the device!
I've checked the button twice and it's ok (it shortcuts the two terminals when pressed). the problem seems to be that in the spots marked with red arrows in the picture below, i don't have any components and it seems that there were some in these places. I need help to confirm if there are components in those spots and in that case, help figuring out wich component it is (resistor / capactior...) and its value.
I would be greatly thankfull to anyone who can supply any information.
Thank you in advance.

Hi
I think i may have got some water damage on my phone. My home button has stopped working but the other two at either side of it are still fine. The thing is i can still use it to get into recovery.download mode. Has anyone had this problem? Is there anything i can do?
I have been reading about a softkey that can be used if home button dead. Is that a program or part of a rom?
Thanks in advance
James
Slim Bean rom has soft keys, such as Home, available.
