how to turn off multitask and back button?

[Chris Wang1]

I have recently switched to from the iphone 4s to the new Samsung Galaxy S5. Everything about the phone is great except the annoying multitasking and back button that i keep accidently "touch" when playing games, watching full screen vids, etc. Is there a way to make the side "buttons" less sensitive or move it to the home button like the iphone? This way, I can hold the phone with both hands and not accidently stop what i'm doing by literally/barely grazing those two corners. They are annoying the **** out of me when my app just pauses.

Thank you for all your help! This is my first post.
Best,

I can't find any way to change the nature of how the Menu Buttons work.... Except for the Home Button itself. It is configurable to do different things, but it is a physical button and I don't think that is the one you are talking about.

I suspect you mean the Double Menu outline button, and the "Back up/Exit app" button on the right side. Those are fixed in the OS. Sorry...

Correct! I do mean the "Double Menu outline button" and the Back/Exit" button on both corners. I literally have change the way I hold my phone (when horizontal) to avoid that entire side. smh...

Anyways, thanks for your help! I will look for an update, if the developers decides to change it similar to how the Iphone home button works.

I had a Nokia Icon before and I play game on it, and the back button was also annoying as hell. I placed a piece of hard, thin cardboard on it (thin enough to be comfortable, densed enough to avoid sensing the finger touch), tape it down to the phone when I'm playing. I rolled the end of the tape a little bit so I can easily remove it after playing and stuck it on a clean surface for storage.

Well, for videos, use mxplayer. Next to the play button there's a lock button. Press it, and everything will be disabled until you touch the screen, and press a new lock icon up in the left corner.. Works great with kids, so they don't accidentally turn off whatever movie they are watching..
