please anyone tell me how can i do that!
and can anyone else confirm that other varients(t110/t111/t210/t210R/t217s and any other(if any) )have these keys(same position) too?

Try the button with the red phone.
Red is hangup phone or goes to Today screen.
Hbutton
with Hbutton you can assign your OK button to "OK+Close",
when your using HTC Taskmanager with "End programs by tapping X" the programm does close, not minimize when
you press the OK-Button.... hth

[Q] Hiding the keyboard

Hello!
I'm on Android 4.0.4 with the Xperia Pureness ROM, from which I love its fluidness, and with an ICS stock keyboard for my phone.
I remember from previous Android versions that there was a button to hide the keyboard, is this not available any more? I can press the
"Back" button and the keyboard will hide, but any chance of including the "Hide Keyboard" button to the keyboard?
I must say that the "Hide Keyboard" button appears only when in landscape mode.
Thanks!
there is the one button on the bottom left, i think.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes, but that is what I hoped would happen.
The problem is that there isn't any "Hide Keyboard" button in the portrait mode, but there IS in the landscape mode:
Portrait Mode:

Nexus 7 (2013) Power Menu keep appearing all the time

Hello, I have this tablet and I'm really annoyed because it keeps appearing the power menu totally random(it may vary some seconds), even if I don't press the power button or any button at all.
I've sent it to a service, they changed the power and volume buttons, but the problem still persisted.
Tried to factory reset it, no change... Tried to root it and flash a custom rom, no change.
I've also tried to disconnect the button from the tablet...No luck.
At least I know is a soft-related problem, not hard-related. Any suggestions what should I do or if there is any log where I can read what activate the power menu?

You could change the mapping of the hardware button to tell for sure if the buttons are the problem ...it could be the connector ....

Disable big white gray circle around key in Pin Lock Menu [Sony Xperia XZ2 compact]

Hi all,
I'm enjoying this new model, but is getting really complicated to disable this big white-gray circle that appears around a key in the Pin-Lock menu, see picture below:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So far I have disable:
Developer options:
Show taps - off
Pointer location -off
Xperia Loops - Off
Assist & voice input
Assist app - None
Glove Mode
Use glove mode - off
So, in terms of security is kind of spoofing your password to others.
Is any one having the same problem? Did some one found another option different of the one I tried?
Thanks for any hint.
