Free Palestine I couldn’t find a way to disable it, as in it will still turn on the display when pressed. That being said, you CAN remap it, I just tested, and it works fine so far.
ManishSharma6969 Just hold the essential key app and disable it ..after disabling this app , essential space won’t open …when you double tap ( no problem) - single tap ( screenshot) - holding the button ( it won’t even record your voice as well ) so this is the best thing you can do to avoid essential space .. I’m happy with it 😊
JyotiGhatak Anonymous784 It helps me lot,it’s already a good feature because when I take a screenshot it reads the whole image and give me a short note about it and if there any schedule, it automatically remind me the time and date( when and where the event is going),I think in next update the ai or something special is coming for essential key,so for some of users like me it’s like cherry on top.😁😁
Anonymous784 Still can’t natively disable or remap this rubbish I’m still tempted to physically remove the button. Are any Nothing techs on here at all? I was wondering if the button was physically removed it would cause any errors?
Anonymous784 Free Palestine I don’t want a 3rd party accessibility service running 24/7 on my phone due to the privacy risk
shafi_22 This is the strangest post I have seen in years. If you have a strong dislike of this key get a different phone. There’s about a billion different phones, 99.999% of them do not have this button😅
Anonymous784 shafi_22 Nothing don’t sell a 3a without the button or I’d have got that. I like the OS and Glyphs… no other phone has those. Shame Carl insists we HAVE to have a screenshot button and can’t use it for anything else natively Your post isn’t clever or useful btw
LaidbackGam3r shafi_22 As I said, I was not aware of this when I decided to buy it. Anytime you do something on the phone or in a hurry, accidental press of this button is inevitable since it is located right where the thumb (right hand) or middle and index fingers (left hand) grip the phone and the button just needs a slight touch to activate it. I wanted to go with a phone that has a refreshing look and went for it…none of the review videos talked/mentioned about this shitty button that gets triggered easily during use. I have disabled and remapped it to turn on/off the flashlight already though.
shafi_22 LaidbackGam3r I’ve literally got the phone, using it now. You spend a fortnight miss pressing the button, then muscle memory develops and it stops.
swiss Hello, how can I deactivate the essential key? I often press it by mistake (instead of power off) and don’t need it! My universal smartphone holder for bike also presses this annoying button… Please help me, thank you!
JoachimHahn Just so it, now! I Like the Phone, but this Key ist a Bad Journey for me. After 4 weeks, i hatte it. Several Times, each day.
swiss Hi everybody I have found this Youtube Video with his step by step instructions. It works! The Essential Space is deleted and the Essential Key doesn’t do anything more 👍️ I’m now totaly happy! 😍
VVVVV Lumoti I’ve done this with my case, now it’s perfect in terms of usability. I just cut the button flat on the case and now it’s impossible to press on accident. I can understand a company’s (business) intention with pushing it’s AI features with a dedicated button, but for the 3a the button is placed terribly. Plus as a industrial designer myself, for a company focusing on differentiating trough usability I think not having the option to remap the button is short sited to say the least.
Lumoti VVVVV I did too. I’d almost forgotten the button exists 😄 Completely agree with everything you said. The main reason I did the cut out trick is because I couldn’t put it in my car phone holder because it clamped where the button is located.
