so i've heard about some download mode you can get into if you press the home button + power button + volume button all at once while the phone is running.
this is supposed to be helpful if you wanna root it and newer models of the i9000 can't get into that mode - what happens with those? nothing at all?
so i just got one and if i press those three buttons i get a screen with the little android dude on the left and a yellow text that reads:
it says FORCED UPLOAD by KEY PRESSING
i can post a picture later once im allowed to.
does anybody know what "FORCED UPLOAD by KEY PRESSING" means because I've no clue
like this one from the Wiki?

You want to get into the download mode the phone needs to be switched off before you press the 3 keys.

Cicincho... May I ask what you mean by "the phone must be SWITCHED off first"? Do you mean that the "device" needs to be turned off or do you mean that you have to essentially puth the phone into "airplane mode" so it has no signal to get into recovery mode?
This may sound like a dumb question but I have been to many bell stores who are out of stock on the actual devices themselves but have the instore display models and EVERY one of the display models I tried went into recovery mode EVERY TIME with the 3 buttons.
Hmmmm... Does ANYONE have any feedback to provide here?
Sorry Cicinho... Seems I may have misread your post as now I see that you were talking about download mode and not recovery but I am still wondering about this being a possibility as to how we can get into 3 button recovery. Samsung Mobile Canada on facebook says that they are working on a software update to fix this issue so I wonder if this could be the cause of this issue?
Still curious... Any ideas?
I have the same issue no difference if the phone is on or off.
Closing this....there are multiple threads already on this same topic....please search before posting a new thread like this.

I have searched for this problem and also tried different camera versions on my Kaiser. The camera button will not activate the camera or take a picture, it will :-
focus in on the item in the picture
make a click when pressed
bring the kaiser out of low backlight when pressed
I have checked the registry setting from a post were the user had a similar problem...
Any ideas anyone
Start -> Settings -> Buttons || Make sure Button 5 is mapped to Camera
I just have to point this out. Congrats Satan.

I was worried about that. As soon as I saw it, I was like "OMG I need to create another post real quick!" But I didn't want to get accused of spamming for the sake of increasing one's post count...
Wait, isn't that what I just did here?!?!?!?!?
I had already checked that button 5 was assigned to Camera, I even assigned it another function and then back to camera. Still not working ! The button is physically working as it clicks and brings the HTC out of low back light, but will not activate camera. Any other ideas...

I know this sounds silly. But press it all the way in. It has two stages this button. Half Press and Full Press.
You are a star Mr Mcgee ! I wasn't pressing the button hard enough, silly me
Thanks
Hi there,
Since I can't post in the related dev thread (I'm a new user), I have to post here
I've done the OTA upgrade from ViperOne 6.0.1 to 6.1.0. Everything went fine. But...
Since then I have the soft keys menu on my screen. Always. And I don't want/need them, since I use the capacitive buttons of the phone.
I can't find any option in Venom Tweaks to hide the soft keys, though I could swear I've seen an option for that in the previous version.
Am I the only one having this problem?
Is there a solution?
Thanks!

I got the same problem, you can going to
system/build.prop
and scrolling to the bottom paste this
qemu.hw.mainkeys=1
then reboot the phone...... soft key must gone.
Thank you! That worked.
A simple restart wasn't enough, I cold reboot was necessary.
I don't know if it's related to that, but now some apps (like Chrome) seem to think my phone has a capacitive contextual Menu button... It doesn't display the Chrome menu icon

Is there a workaround for this?

I notice that until you told me...but long press the home button could replace the menu button.
i flash viper 6.1 but doesn't have any on screen button,.
Anyone know if this can be changed through settings (or even an app of some kind)? I can't find anything on it.
I really miss this feature from my S5, especially since I don't ever use split screen which is the default for longpress on the S6

I agree. Sorry no answer... but I have seen several threads elsewhere on the topic and this is driving me nuts. From a user perspective: I was previously able to surf on my phone and bookmark / share via the menu key with only one hand. Now I can't because of the change in this key. This is not just a case of stubborness: one handed usability is important for many groups - from the physically compromised to late-night-feeding mothers. I hope a developer can offer a work around soon.

If you're willing to root, you can install LMT for one handed control, including menu button access and the thumb reach stretching pointer.

Hey everyone, I've got an issue I've been trying to get figured out with no luck & I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. As it says in the title I'm on the Note 5 32GB from t-mobile, it's running 6.0.1, and is rooted with TWRP recovery. Now on to the issue.
Yesterday I rebooted my device, and when it came back up the home screen shrunk. What I mean is the icon/folder area and the screen indicator dots are smaller causing a significant dead space area between the dots and my bottom bar. I have included two photos, one untouched and one with yellow highlighting illustrating the area I am talking about.
In an attempt to remedy this, so far I have done the following:
Checked that one handed operation is disabled (it is)
Checked and changed screen fonts & font size
Changed the home screen grid options
I've even went as far as doing a system reset in twrp erasing everything and starting over
With that I have been unsuccessful in getting this fixed. I am hoping someone can help. In my research the only information I have found to this point talks about the settings I listed above as attempts, and I haven't seen this problem come up at this point, so please don't blast me if I've missed it, and you know where I should look, I am more than happy to read any information provided.

I've shared the photos with an image tag from my onedrive account, if they aren't working please alert me and I'll try to find another way to share them.
Not working. Curious though. How is the rest of the system? Setting and whatnot set to normal? Did you flash a ROM?
Sent from my SM-N920T using XDA-Developers mobile app
Everything is default accept my theme, which changing it didn't affect it either. It's a stock rom and systemless root with TWRP recovery. I was thinking I screwed up a setting also which is why I tried to do a reset.
Any idea why the full screen mode suddenly stopped working? Is there some hidden setting for that what Bixby changed etc. etc. when using a ton of voice commands :victory:
I have enabled full screen mode in "settings->display->full screen" and all of my programs are allowed to use full screen, but none of them do. And if I disable eg. Chrome and then launch Chrome it asks whether I want to run it in full screen or not. I press "run in full screen" but the navigation bar still persist

Ditto here. Just realized this
