Question on 3 captive buttons

Is there anyway I can switch the bottom buttons around? Where the back button stays to the right and the recent button stays to the left??

I'll be interested in this question. After 3 1/2 years with the S3 I keep hitting the wrong button!!

It's my opinion this should be ab Android feature. On smaller phones it doesn't bother me but on large phones the back button placement can be a real usability issue.

Very much agree on that.

The back button is where it always should've been, IMO! Seriously though, I can understand why others prefer it the Samsung way (easy reach for left thumb, used to Samsung phones, used to where it was on older models like the 4-button HTC's I had.)

I just think that back arrow on the left side is very intuitive and it was a quick adjustment for me.

BTW, I think that's a feature of the LG's -- custom buttons. So there's some useful things going on there with their skin.

One workaround I use is the All In One Gestures app. You can set it up to go back when you swipe from the right edge.
