Volume down button becomes a menu button - Huawei P9 Questions & Answers

Hello people,
I have a Huawei P9 with Android 6.0
Some time ago I got a message if I want to allocate the volume button to a menu function.
For example: I open Spotify en I press the volume down, the I see a blue border on elements of Spotify, so I can choose those elements.
I find that anoying and I want to turn that off.
Does anyone knows how to do that?
regards,
Ralph

Can function of Green Phone button be assigned to another?

Hi all,
i'm having intermitent issues with my Green Phone button not responding when pressed. As such, i would like to reassign this function to another hardware button such as the default PiE button.
However, i discover that the "Phone" function listed for assignment on the Buttons setting does not accept calls as the Green Phone button does when a call comes in! In fact, i can't accept calls by using any buttons & have to open my case to press the onscreen "answer". Any registry tweaks to rectify this?
Thanks!
Anyone with update?
Cheers,
You'll probably have to tweak the registry - I know may be possible - as I am using phoneplus III and the green button when clicked - starts up Phoneplus and not the internal Phone dialpad.
In the phoneplus setup - it says "Assign Phoneplus to Green/Send Button" and also "Assign Red Button to Close PhonePlus and End Calls"
So if anyone with experience on registry details - should be able to help you out.

remap hold power button?

hello
on my old iPAQ with WM 2002, I could hold the power button to show me options like:
- change profile (silent, loud, etc.)
- turn off background light
etc
the most useful, IMO, is in fact the change profile
anyone know if it's possible to remap the "hold power button" to a little menu like that (it can also contain a "shutdown" option)?
advanced config
gonna try it
thanks very much

switch on the display

Is it possible to use central circle button to switch on the display of the PDA instead of use ON/OFF button?
Thank you.
would like to know if the center button can be map as the power button too.
Its not as you asked, bight might be worht considering:
If you go to settings>system>Lock Buttons and choose do not lock buttons, then all the buttons including the center button will trun on the screen.
Yes. Now every time I want to switch on the display I have to push the upper ON/OFF button and I think it would be better if i could do it by pressing the central circle button?
Thank you
Yes omar32, but i do not like this option because if all buttons are enabled, it is very easy to push them accidentalty and to do calls, etc that you do not want. I want that when the PDA is deactivated, i can switch display on with ON/OFF button or pressing the central circle button, but with others buttons disabled.
Thank you
I agree with you guys. If diamond is a phone why it can behave like a real normal phone. Using this stupid ON/OFF button is very inconvenient and annoying! I miss normal lock keypad-I mean like in SE press * and lock button(s0ft button) to unlock in reverse direction.To get this feature I have to use 3d party software like s2u2 which does the thing but destroys other like receiving MMS etc. I'm getting bored of this phone ale looking for all the time for the compromise between one feature I need and another.Just wanted a PHONE with possibilities of PDA not PDA with option of PHONE

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Hi
I can tell you how I "resolved" this problem possibly closest to the "normal" phone
First: in settings /system -> key lock -> set: DON't lock the buttons
Second: because pressing ON/OFF button is very inconvenient we have to bypass it..There are few programs *.exe which does exactly the same what ON/OFF button. So search the web for turnOff.exe and map it with soft key manager to any of the soft buttons you like(right or left).This lets you turn off the phone without pressing ON/OFF button on the top.
Third: Because now buttons are not locked it's easy to wake up the phone in the pocket and press sth on the touch screen so you have to use s2u2 for locking/unlocking. And that's all you have to do is spend some time on configuring s2u2 this is the hardest thing here.
Now you can wake up the phone with any button you like and unlock it in iPhone style(thanks to s2u2), when want to lock it you press the soft button mapped to turnOff.exe and that's it- you got your phone locked and turned off.
If somebody knows a different way to do it please share with us

Unlock the phone without left soft key

Hi all,
My softkeys don't work long time ago so I have found solutions to:
- Use the multimedia player: You can remap the buttons like play, next...
- I have redesigned home screen to put the sms on the top.
- Use the red button to lock the phone
- Use the power button to change the sound profiles.
But I don't know how to unlock the phone using another keys instead the left softkey. Anybody know how to do this?
Best regards,

[APP] Button Light and Touch

Button Light and Touch
An very small and simple utility to adjust the duration of the capactive button lights.
You can also remove this app from the app drawer once you install it.
Not the most original app, but it's 100% free and does one really important thing if you use my other app, Button Mapper. Assigning a long press action to the Recent Apps or Back button with Button Mapper will cause the capacitive button lights to stay off all the time. If you install this app, the light will work again.
Due to a convoluted development thing concerning target APIs of Android apps, I was not able to add this functionality directly to Button Mapper. I had to put it in a separate app.
So think of this as an add-on for Button Mapper. Or just use it to change the duration of the button lights and toggle button vibration.
