My phone has a convenience key on the side, and I love it (I have a BlackBerry KeyOne). I just wish it had another one so I could set it to do more things. Here's what I use it for:
- single press: play/pause
- long press: toggle rotation lock
- conv. key + volume down: toggle flashlight
- volume down + conv. key: toggle night mode
I can turn the flashlight on in a jiffy, without having to touch the screen, even while wearing gloves, which is super handy. I can also pause my audiobook while driving without having to muck around with the screen.
- c22 8y agoI also have a phone with an auxiliary button and even though there are many many things that I don't like about it (for instance it only gets 2g data) I am loathe to replace it almost exclusively because of this feature. I have it set to turn on the flashlight with a 1 second press and I probably do that more times in a day than I talk on the phone.
