Enable home key touch? - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to make home key respond to touch instead of press? That would be awesome.

No, that's not possible.

Too bad :/ I had it on iPhone 6 via jailbreak.

I assume this is just a ROM/kernel/libs issue and should be theoretically possible for the hardware if given full/open source from Samsung, right? Not that I'm expecting that, but just want to better understand the limitations. Cheers.

It seems there is now a solution! http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/1...s-physical-home-button-into-a-capacitive-one/

Trying it as I type this . Hopefully it won't kill my battery!!

Nice, I missed the update!
I have the Official London 2012 Results App... but it crashes every time it opens.
Yahoo! Sportacualr has a new update out with Olympic coverage too.
Good call, haha

Also wondering, looks clean.
It's a smart phone stand I picked up a while ago that works great with the Nexus 7 in landscape, it can't support it in portrait. Simple and effective.

I'm not 100% sure, but it looks like this stand:

Which is not bad for $8.
Here's the one I got, they have other stuff too.

Do you need to download both the NBC olympics app and the live app or just the live app?

Download boost from S5?

Does anyone know if that would be a possible feature to port or imitate on our z1? Gotta say that is one feature that doesn't sound like a gimmick. Perhaps there is already an app that I couldn't find that already does this?

It's nothing new, an app called "Super Download" has been around since 2012 doing exactly the same. It can be found here.

This. People keep saying it's a hardware thing. No...nothing samsung does is a hardware thing. Heart rate monitor? Apps did the same thing for years. The fingerprint sensor and IR blaster is the only "hardware" thing that can't be replicated on other phones. (or have already been replicated)
Thanks!

I think what he meant by finger print is heart rate monitor.

Eh?
How does an app that pretends to scan your finger but just detects your touch come even remotely close to a real fingerprint scanner?

They don't, but some of them have a special way of touching them, kinda like a code, stupid but its as close as you get without the hardware

Look first at the price of a new N6.
You need to check if the user account is properly removed. If not you can not use the phone.
How would I know it's properly removed?

Get the seller to produce a time and dated photo of the phone at the second or third screen of setup.

I could make a Gif but can't share it on messenger due to file size limit....
Is there anyway to increase file size allowance to share self made Gif's over messenger???

If they don't have a device on T-Mobile that also supports RCS then the limit is 1 MB. If they do then it's 10MB.

Except that it rejects it before I can add it too messenger...Just says file to big..exceeds 1000kb.... I never get a chance to add anyone's name to send it too...
As soon as I hit the share icon and select the messenger icon then I get the size too large message...

I set everything to it's lowest settings and tried it... I stopped recording a Gif at 3 seconds and it was 1.62MB and obviously that was too big.... I mean if I set it to all it's lowest settings and still can't get 3 seconds it becomes pointless... And believe me I want to use it , I think it's a cool feature.
Do you have VoLTE off? If you did then RCS is off as well.

Since you had to ask i am going to say it's on.
Did you by chance use a backup of your SMS/MMS when migrating over?

Don't worry it's on by default. Are you using the stock messages app or some other app?
