Modify Side Button activities?

[nanaroo]

Is it possible to modify what each side button does? I guess the single button on the left side shouldn't be, but the 2 on the right seem appropriate for user configuration.

Currently the upper right launches music. I typically don't have music downloaded to my Ionic, at least not yet, since I use Google Play Music for my music needs. (side note, a Play Music app would be awesome).

I'd prefer to directly launch tracking a run/ride/exercise with the upper right button and generally making these buttons configurable.

Yup, there is a way to do this.

The top right button will launch whatever app is in the top left corner of your apps screen's first page. Similarly, the bottom right button will launch whatever app is in the bottom left corner of the first page of the apps screen.

I disagree with this. That's not what happens when I apply the resolution to my Ionic and it's icons...?

How does yours work, Mary?  The way thinksinCode describes above is EXACTLY the way it is designed and is how mine works.

[mirecek]

Works very well, thank you for the hint. 🙂

Bottom right button won't open anything no matter what I put in the bottom left position

[SunsetRunner]

Try a RESTART, Gary.  Mine works just fine.

[garyperria]

Thanks that worked, can you change which app opens when you push the left
button?

[SunsetRunner]

No. The only programmable buttons are those on the right.  Please mark this as Solved for you, if in fact it was.

[garyperria]

Thanks I was coming to that conclusion but couldn't find it in print.

Whoa! Thank you! I didn't even know I could move those apps! 👏😲

[randytoad]

Yes, but how do you modify the arrangement of apps on the page?

[randytoad]

Never mind. I figured it out on my own.

[Bond8437]

Tap, hold, and drag

[randytoad]

Yes, I figured it out myself right after I wrote the question. I had tried
doing it earlier but didn’t hold on the icon long enough.

Has this changed recently? Mine just stopped working. Bottom right button now does nothing and top right just brings up notifications

I tried your recommendation and i cant get the side buttons to launch as the left one is only launching the exercise app after the update. How do i customize the side right buttons to quickly access what i want 

[Heyvernsky]

it like my bottom right button is broken 

Does nothing

@Heyvernsky A warm welcome to the Community. Thanks for getting in touch about this. 

You may be able to remove dust or dirt by gently using a toothpick around the button. If this does not improve the button performance, you can try to clear debris using canned air. Hold the tracker at arm's length and spray once to loosen any dirt or dust that may have accumulated around the button.

Let me know how the troubleshooting goes. Looking forward to hearing back from you.
