Yeh after having an i777 last couple years with the on screen keys, it's taken me about a week to get used to a home button and the 3 key layout, pressing left for multi and holding it for settings feels a bit awkward to me out of habit lol

Exactly how I'm feeling! I even miss the fourth "search" button on the i777. I had longpress open a QR scanner which always came in handy.

Any tips?

I guess SGN does not offer such a feature, mate! You would probably need to accept it.

indeed it does offer... just press the button on the stylus and swipe to the left on the screen to go back and swipe up on the screen to access the menu options... you can do this on whichever app you are on
Actually those buttons are capacitive and i think i've read somewhere its not a capacitive stylus....it uses some other technology....an like Chillz88 said...use the button and gestures...
The button tip on the stylus is amazing, Thank you for all the help!

Hey guys, I found my power button is not working properly, sometimes ,i have to press couple of time to make it work . does it a captivate defect or the software issue ( rom )
thanks
It is a fairly common hardware defect. You will need to either take it apart to clean it, or get it repaired.

Check this thread about cleaning power button with electronics cleaner, it worked for me.

In root explorer go to system mount system as r/w, then go to usr--keylayout--aries.keypad.kl edit line 115 to delete volume up and replace it with power. Save the file and reboot.

Tried so many things after my power button quit and I think this may have finally solved it!!
Thanks again
I'm having a funny issue with my Cappy power button in the way that it's becoming over sensitive. I sometimes just have to touch it to wake the phone. Also, if I shake the phone hard enough I can wake it. That's kinda cool. The button still clicks, but I'm wondering if it's just dirty. Thoughts anybody?

Either that or the little part holding your button is broken (ripped). Could try taking it apart to take a look.

After that last post I got all adventurous and took apart my Cappy, the outer plastic button is all intact, nothing broken, the very little power button on the motherboard still clicks. Nothing I can see is out of place. Put my battery back in with the phone all apart and the power button wasn't acting over sensitive. This issue of mine is kinda sporadic I might just send my phone to Josh at mobiletechvideos.com seeing as I can't do much about it.

Well Until some time in the past there had not been much user friendly method to mod your device button to do what you wanted to.
But then an app was developed called 'ButtonRemapper' which basically does what you wanted. So wait is over!
Here is the thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850464
Note: Remember, be responsible for what you do. modding wrong buttons will end up your phone to pot
Can the hardware buttons like back, menu, home , etc...can wear out if we use them more.... or using button saviour is a good idea. And anyone else is using button saviour app.
Is there someone out there who is having this problem?
And is there other app which is same as bitton saviour.

Don't know about battery savior but the MENU and BACK are CAPACITIVE TOuCH KEYS which WILL NOT WEAR.out. And yes the home button will deteriorate over time!

Or if your finger is in pain when you put it under more pressure than touching screen. :angel:
But using the Button Saviour we can save the home button a few, don't you think?
I have tried to use Button Saviour one time, but i hate it. I hate the virtual button on the side of screen, so i searched another way to save home button and i found the app "Home Button" like free on market (link below). This app runs like a ongoing on the notification bar. So if we need to go to home screen, just roll down the notification bar and click on the app. The best part, the app don't run on backgroud, so no RAM usage! It only run when we click on, and than it close immediately.

Mine does depress, but not much. Certainly not as much as my evo.

Nice username.
Yeah, the One has a very stiff button, so you're going to get almost no tactile feedback when you press it. That's how it's supposed to be. If you don't like it though, there are several mods floating around this forum on ways you can raise its profile (like painting on clear nail polish).
Or just bypass it almost completely and use the modified kernels for slide to wake or double tap to wake. There's also a few other long press options too. At least that way you only use then power button to turn on and off the phone.
There also appear to be options for turning screen off through the eqs, although I haven't been able to get those to work for me. Sweep2wake/sweep2sleep is awesome. Also a great little show off for your non rooted friends!
