Disable "Search" Capacitive Button?

[realwarder]

I just invented an easy fix for this. Make it so that you need to hold it for a couple of seconds first before Bing launches.

Love the idea! Tweet to Nokia

That's actually brilliant!

It's not just the search button, the main windows button activates in my pocket, like it's being held down. I believe what's happening is my leg is activating the button, through the pocket fabric...

Ummm... put it in sleep mode before you put it in your pocket.

hi !
please can you explain i dont get how you fixed it....
thx

That's the funny thing, I do lock it before putting it my pocket...

Found an interesting setting under Settings > Applications > Search > "Allow search button from lock screen"

It was enabled, going to disable it now and test it for awhile.

Just turn touch sensitivity to normal. On high it is way to sensitive. If you hover over the screen it'll touch.

i thoug your fix was more than this, i'm actually at normal sensitivity and disabled "Allow search button from lock screen"
thanks anyway

under settings-->system-->touch after the amber update it says "sensitivity, wake up and windows keys"
but when I open it, I only have sensitivity and wake up.
I'm interested as to what the windows keys refers to?

Already an article on that, its a fault by Nokia but it Will be a setting in the future (also backlighting on and off)

Re: Disable "Search" Capacitive Button? - YES Microsoft is DEAD!

As far as I am concerned Microsoft phone software development must be on a very restricted budget and shortly due to be discontinued. Why else would the company make such angry people from previously loyal happy users?

The Bing button is a f....ing joke! If we want to use the phone one handed, unless very long fingers, the back buttons needs to be on the right hand side and the bing button in the location that is harder to reach and seldom used. This seems so blindingly obvious to me on my third windows phone that it makes me believe that Microsoft have complete idiots or very low paid students designing their phones. The same people that will be using an IPhone or Android phone.

Even more annoying is that the buttons are not physical buttons so it would be easy to make a configuration settings to switch their positions. Of course for left handed people they will be happy with the location of the Bing button but not so happy with the location of the other buttons.

Worse still is the lack of double click to unlock, which makes me want to switch the lock screen to manual mode. BUT no manual mode available.

I upgraded my Win8.1 Lumia 1020 to the newer 950 because Microsoft backed our of their promise to provide a windows 10 update for the 1020.

Now that I have win10 on my phone I can see that windows 10 is a step backwards, a complete piece of crap provided by a company that I used to love but that I now realise is dying!

Bugger off Microsoft, you have wasted so much of my time. I feel so stupid being so loyal for so long just so that you can stock pile cash and **** on me.

I am giving you 4 weeks to produce a win 10 update at least with double click to clear the lock screen or I will be using my legal right to claim a refund to buy an ANDROID OR iPHONE and will NEVER EVER be a Microsoft customer again.
