Is anyone else, who uses long press shortcuts on the capacitive buttons, having problems with it?
My device randomly activates the long press when I intend to use its normal function. I had to disable it as one of the functions was to lock it up.
Do you have a problem like if you press the capactive button, it sometimes stays lit and doesn't do anything unless you press it again? I wonder whether is this hardware or software related.

No... My situation is that when I press it normally, it process as if I long press the button, doing the associated task I put int the configuration... I had to remove that setting as I used the long press to lock the device and it was starting to annoy me a lot.

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...

SPHelper doesn't work with TomTom at all.

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.
Hey, I'm having some technical problems with my TyTN/Kaiser. Most times I'm in a voice call I will have the phone against my cheek like all people do, but the problem is that when I move around slighty or whatever the end button is being pressed on the touch screen by my cheek.
This is so annoying and I've read through the manual and couldn't find anything to disable touch screen in a call, so now I come to you folk
Is there any way to lock touch screen only (not buttons) in a call?
A_Cs S2U2 has some of this functionality.
My Tilt allows me to do a quick-press of the power button while on a call. That turns off my screen, but still allows me to end a call with the "hard" end button.
you could use advance config/kaiser tweak to enable fast sleep when in call that turns the screen off while still keeping it unlocked so the buttons work after a few seconds..... otherwise press the power button quickly as soon as you have made the call/answered the phone

Cool, this sounds alright, but when you say turns the screen off but keeps it unlocked, does that mean the end button is still pressable on the screen?
I can't believe nobody has this problem.. happens to me almost every call.

When the screen goes off, either by time-out or quick press of the power button, the screen "buttons" are not enabled.
You can end the call with the red end button. Or, if you prefer... another quick press of the power button to "wake up" the screen, and you can use the soft buttons again.

No, I had it happen frequently in my first few weeks of ownership, but it's not happening of late. I don't know what I'm doing different, but it was a real pain.
Well, I don't actually want a power button to be honest, I want the power button action changed. I've lost count of the amount of times I have switched the phone off to go to bed and then accidentally touched the power button causing the phone to restart. Then I have to wait until it's booted-up before I can switch it off again. OK, I know I shouldn't drink so much that I become ham-fisted but in my defence, that brings its own - entirely unrelated - benefits.
What I want (knew I'd get there eventually) is to have to press the power button for like one second before the phone powers-up. I'm happy switching the screen on and off with a single short press, but if it already takes a long-press to switch it off, why can't it be a long press to switch it on? How hard can it be?
here you go: http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=1751
This will remap your power button on a long press and show you how to poweroff without it (see the comments there for the app)
I'm sorry but I don't think this is what I'm looking for.
Visualise: The phone is off (not the screen, the PHONE), properly switched off. I want to have to press the power button for at least one second to start the phone up. From what I was reading on your link, the button presses are only recognised when the phone is already powered-up.
You don't want the button to switch the screen off too? Otherwise I don't get it.

Don't think that's possible. Btw, you could always shutdown the phone by taking out the battery No need to wait for it to boot.
Can anybody recommend an app what puts a lock icon widget on the homescreen? My case don't allow to press power button, and button savior is too confusing for my mother.

Howdy, pardners!
I on the other hand wonder, whether there is possibility to disable onscreen lock - my back button is hardly reachable so i am not worried that it will get pressed. Sliding the screen everytime i just what to know the time or what ever is however quite annoying. Any chance to disable only touch screen, no screensaver - just Laucher home screen with clock, calendar..., unlocking with back button or quick some combination of others?
Would be magical !

In regards to the first post: have you looked in nook touch tools? There may be a way to set one of the side buttons as the power button, therefore locking it.
Good luck!
I dont know if anyone has it too but:
Go to button savior, check the box that says android recent task.(just bottom of the first page).
And everytime that i press the n button long, it goes to lockscreen. i dont know why. Also long pressing the home button on the button saviour does the same thing too.
The power button and the "n" button go to different electrical sections than the four hard side buttons
The two buttons go to dedicated input pins, the four buttons are part of a scanning matrix.
Although it might be possible to statically enable the whole matrix so that you could detect a button push without scanning (while asleep)
it seems that they would have not handled the buttons separately if that were the case.
In short, any button can be assigned to power and put the Nook to sleep.
Although I'm not sure if any button would be able to wake it?
9 out of 10 screenshots I take are by accident when I'm trying to press the power button to turn the screen off. With the volume buttons opposite the power button, it's too easy to press them. Is there a way to change how a screenshot is taken?

That's already on, but the other way I'm talking about is still active.
Hold you phone differently, unless your hands are so monstrous that preventing your fingers from pressing the volume button is impossible.
Thanks for the Apple-grade suggestion like I've got bad reception on my iPhone. lol
Holding the phone as usual in my right hand, it's not typically a problem. But frequently if it's in my left or I do a quick reach with either to turn the screen on and view notifications and turn it back off, I end up with an accidental screenshot. If I could make it require a momentary hold of the buttons before it takes a screenshot, it would do the trick.

You could try installing a Bixby button remapper. Many of them allow you to set different functions to your hardware/mechanical buttons & or set delays of different intervals while keeping the current buttons doing the usual stock actions. If you are rooted you only need to install once. If you are stock UnRooted you need to run adb commands every time you turn off or reboot but this is the only option I can think of that will do what you need done. Bxactions is one app and another is button Mapper. Cheers & hope this helps you out.
