Play pause is blocked by google in latest android release. Dont knkw if theres a workaround.

Folder is created with new 1.16, but you have to allow write access. Confirmed by my beta testers
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] myabc:
a great thank for developer that solved my problem. i offered coffee to unlock already monthes ago. thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] Deathman666:
Damn, play/pause is only function, which i use :(
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] Jawomo:
found a possible workaround, will add for testing in next beta :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] shadin:
Everything's okay with installed Bixby, sorry :)
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] Phazonclash:
Everything's working perfectly on my Note 20 Ultra since the last version, except for the Play/Pause action as mentioned earlier.

Tried to work around it by callin a Tasker action in sideActions instead (run shell input keyevent 85), but it seems like root is required for the command to work when the Tasker is closed and running in background...
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] Deathman666:
In latest update play/pause fixed. Thanks Jawomo!
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] omek07:
Thank you for the application.

One thing that I noticed is that. I am using only the Lockscreen volume up and down . When I am in AOD and have the phone in my pocket I can hear sound if I press the volume buttons accidentally.

Play/ Pause is still not working on my S20 (UI3.0) even updated to latest beta dated 7th Jan.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] Phazonclash:
Probably a stupid question but... where did you guys download the latest beta (1.17 I assume?!) ? I'm on 1.16, released on januanry 2nd
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] calvinyip77:
Go to the app at Play store, you should find an option of participanting beta tester. You will then have a beta at the top row.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] Phazonclash:
Got it, thanks. For some reason the "Join beta" button wasn't showing up on the Play Store, so I thought you had to d/l the beta apks somewhere and sideload them.

"Join beta" showed up after I uninstalled/reinstalled sideActions
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] VertigoOneX:
The volume button remapping will get lost after some time. I then have to deactivate the accessibility service and enable it again for the volume buttons. After re-enabling it will work for a short time and stop again. Any solutions? Bixby button is working perfectly fine. Using the coffee/pro version.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] Jawomo:
One handed mode kills the volume button remapping. Maybe thats the cause
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] VertigoOneX:
Yeah I'm using one-handed mode with gesture activation. Any possible workaround or solution to still use both? I need the one-handed mode cause the device is so big and without the volume buttons only one third of the pro functionality of sideactions is useable for me.

Edit: Just tested it, confirmed, the one-handed mode is disabling volume button remapping.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] GAPDH:

This app allows to unlock some more features when connected to the pc and running the sideActions.exe. On my windows PC it tells me that this sideActions.exe contains a trojan virus Trojan:Win32/Occamy.CA7

How can this be?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] Jawomo:
Its a false positive
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] jhoff80:
One UI 3.1 (on the S21) has a devices button in the quick actions center that lets you use Google Home devices (not just SmartThings).

Is there any way to launch this devices menu from sideActions (similar to the devices menu I get from the power button on my Pixel 4XL)?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] Jorlin:
Thank you.

Is this app compatible with the galaxy s21 ultra?

I tried but cannot activate the pc based features
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] VertigoOneX:
I'm using it with a S21 Ultra and besides the mentioned problem with one-handed mode it's working perfectly fine. I also enabled full activation via PC and sideactions.exe. I have the Exynos version btw.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] Jorlin:
Tried it with another PC. Everything works fine now. Exynos as well.

@Jawomo incredible work! Phenomenal app you've built. Think about all the time you've helped save your users! Collectively, could be in hundreds of hours by now.

Anyway, I'm having a difficult time troubleshooting a glitch on my note 20 ultra, which by the way works great with sideaction.

Followed instructions, and made several attempts (reverting to normal mode, reinstalling and clearing data for both sideaction and bixby)full activation through PC executable. When setting up power button, the power toggle would switch itself off shortly after.

Any idea for a solution?

Thanks in advance

Edit: I plan on disabling bixby once set up. Is there an app related to bixby that I shouldn't freeze?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] rafafischer:
Same issue here, Exynos S21 from Brazil. I set up everything and it works normaly, but after I complete the PC steps, the Swith on App that enable the power button remap don't stay ON, just after I leave the app or enter/exit the remapping settings, the toggle returns to the OFF position and none of the shortcuts works...
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] heymikemason:
Same issue here. Galaxy S21 Ultra Snapdragon 888. Toggle returns to off. Tried reinstalling, clearing all Bixby data/cache, nothing works.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] ahaynes42:
EDIT: It's resolved, I guess you can't delete a post on XDA. It was all because the Text-To-Speech engine was set to Google instead of Samsung. Silly.

I'm having an issue trying to get Bixby working again on my S20. I bought a new Galaxy Watch 4 that needs to use Bixby, so I went through all the steps to disable remapping through the PC and re-enable Bixby on the phone. But no matter what I do Bixby continues to not work and just says "Looks like something went wrong. Try again later." First I tried clearing cache, then cleaing data, then booting into safe mode. Nothing gets Bixby to work again. I've double checked that all of my apps are up to date through both Play Store and Galaxy Store. Any other ideas besides a factory reset? I really don't want to go through that.

I'm using the latest sideActions 1.25 (fully remapped) on my Samsung s21 Ultra, and I can't find anywhere "Answer phone calls" option?

Anyone can confirm?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] RHBH:
Hello, I am using this app on a Note10 and my new S22+. Both devices are fully remmaped.

I am using double press as sound mode (sound, vibrate, silent).

When I go to vibrate mode, I get a vibration feedback.

When I go to sound mode, I do not get a sound feedback, if I change to sound manually in notification bar, I get the sound feedback.

Is there any way to fix this behavior?

I find hard to know if my device is silent or sound mode as both do not have any feedback.

Any help is appreciated @Jawomo
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] bhecu:
Hi RHBH, were you able to get this issue solved? I have the exact same problem on my S21, it used to work on my S8 when SideActions had a different name (was it bixby remap or something?). But it never worked on my S21, even with the pro version of SideActions, it would be really nice to figure it out as I didn't find a solution anywhere and also cannot tell if I'm on silent or normal mode without unlocking the phone ( I do get a buzzing sound when in vibrate mode like you), which defeats the main purpose of this feature for me.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] RHBH:
No, I still have the issue in my S22+.

I sold my Note 10.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] bhecu:
Bummer, since the shortcut doesn't always work it makes it impractical to use, but oh well, might have something to do with a newer android version or something as it worked fine on my S8, thanks for the reply.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] Hanemin:
I have an issue with the Sideactions app not working properly with extra power flashlight setting. I have set it to use flashlight (with extra power) on long press but it just turns the normal flashlight on (with lowest power) which is pretty useless. This worked fine before, but now I can't seem to enable the highest flashlight brightness with sideactions. I'm on s21U btw.

This was my only reason of buying this app, and would really appreciate if someone could help me out and solve this.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] MrFreeze:

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] jhoff80:
I had the same issue, but for what it's worth, you can use Routines+ (from Good Lock) to override the side button.

Not quite as powerful as sideActions (can't have one action for lockscreen and another for unlocked), but it's at least functional on Android 13.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] britcowboy:
Any update on getting this to work with the new update @Jawomo ?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] britcowboy:
Not being funny, but getting annoyed @Jawomo hasn't replied, he's active on other topics trying to sell his new apps, but no update for those of us who've bought his old apps. Just an update from you would help.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] timsah:
@Jawomo

I also want to know, when we can have an update for Android 13 ONEUI 5.0.

I have been using this app on daily basis (paid version) Not having it anymore is pretty annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] SvB4EvA:
@Jawomo Do you have plans to make sideActions work with Android 13?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] k2828:
when android 13?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] Jawomo:
Will investigate. Whats not working anymore exactly?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] SvB4EvA:
After playing around with it for a bit, I did get the app working again. However I have to connect my phone to my PC after every reboot to enable the app permissions to device logs.

EDIT: Also the flashlight extra power is just the regular power one now.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] Jawomo:
Just tested and everything seems to work normal?

There is no way around new android restrictions unfortunately. Thank you Google!
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] SvB4EvA:
Yea, that is annoying. But is there a way to at least approve the permissions on the mobile device and not have to plug into a PC and use USB debugging to enable the permissions after every reboot?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] Jawomo:
I guess no, google doesn't want us to use these permissions anymore. Thats why they make it that uncomfortable.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] jbs68:
it works for the volume buttons, but not for the power button (it works only once and no more after rebooting the device)

Could you test it ? Thx
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] JackJoeR:
I might be wrong but at least for me I just have to force stop the app (sometimes twice) then switch the switch back on and it will pop up with the access request on the mobile device, no pc required
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] JackJoeR:
The app works for me when I force close it a couple of times and then the access request pops up without needing to use a pc. Is there anyway of having the app 'reset' on reboot? To save having to do this. Thanks for the app anyway, it's a game changer!
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] jbs68:
I tried and yes, it works also for me on my S21FE. Thanks for the tips.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] timsah:
I checked it today, the app works with Android 13 OneUI 5.0 on my S22+. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] SvB4EvA:
Same issue with me.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] SvB4EvA:
@Jawomo I can comfirm that after reboot this does work... Not ideal for sure, but it is better than plugging phone into a PC after every reboot.

The other thing I can not get working it the full power flashlight. I only get the weak flashlight no matter what option I choose.

If I uninstall and reinstall, do I lose my pro version?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] SvB4EvA:
There is also a sub reddit about the issue, maybe it can help someone...

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] m4rkiz:
Yup, works for me as well, force stop it once or twice, and after relaunch just move the slider for power button actions to enable it then pop-up shows asking for temporary permissions. After granting those all work as expected.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] k2828:
Same. Just stop once and grant qcces without pc. Bring the fix dev!
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] Jawomo:
As i said there is no way around new android restrictions unfortunately. Google doesn't want us to use these kind of apps anymore.

Android is getting closer to iOS with every update...
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] SvB4EvA:
@Jawomo I can live with force stopping the app once or twice after a reboot and regrant permissions. Thanks Google 😔

However! Is there a way to get full flashlight power back? It really makes a difference. I can't get the extra power flashlight option to work, any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] k2828:
Thx. Could a root version of the app could donthe force close and reallow permissi9n automaticly? Could do the app TASKER or something similar do the job?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] mh297:
I've used Routines+ (in the GoodLock suite) to produce a touch macro to force stop the app then re-enable and grant temporary permissions. It takes about 5 seconds to run after a reboot. Maybe there's something in this procedure that could be better automated. If a root option, as queried by k2828, is an option I'm sure many would be interested.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] SvB4EvA:
@Jawomo obviously doesn't care to address the issues his paying customers are having.

Time to look elsewhere for a remap solution. If anyone has some good info on something new or a fix, don't hesitate to post here. Thanks.

As of the latest Verizon security patch (see attached screen shot) the Side Actions app is totally nonfunctional now.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] Bobthahog:
The power button doesn't work but on my s23 ultra I use the volume buttons still. I have it set to double tap and it takes a screenshot. I just enter the ADB commands manually. So it still works it just doesn't work for the power button anymore. And then I go into the stock settings for the side key and I set double press for flashlight and long press for power menu. Seems to be a decent setup for me. Also and I am on AT&t and April security patch. And the volume button still work.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] jbs68:
But where did you find the apk file?

You installed it from the play store?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] Bobthahog:
Just a Google search and I found it. I had paid for the pro version before so downloading the regular APK automatically gave me the paid version since I previously paid for it when it was in the Play store.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] Bobthahog:
I am on the May security patch on AT&t and as my comment right below yours or maybe two down it says the power button no longer works. But do the ADB commands and my volume buttons still work. So I have it set for long press for screenshot, double press for full screen and then I set my side key to toggle the flashlight when I tap twice and long press opens the power menu. So I also downloaded one-handed operation from good luck and I use that as my volume down button. Best way I know to work around it.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] Will_i_ams:

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] mh297:
The app still works on my S22 with One UI version 5.1. That includes the side button (power button). It just requires a force stop of the app then re-enabling the power button in the app and granting the one-time device log access after every reboot. Earlier posts mention automating this.

Hi

I'd love to try this...but like others...it is saying no I can't on my s20 ultra

Please advise.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Themes, Apps] Coldblackice:
Does anyone know the specifics as far as the "hook" sideActions uses for the power button?

As mentioned above, after a recent patch the power button hook no longer works, even after a force-close-cache-clear-enable-logs, after fresh reinstall, and after ADB-enabling permissions (aka the "Easy remapping").

However, dysfunctionality is clearly still possible given that GoodLock's "RegiStar" is able to hook the power button ...albeit without sideAction's extended benefits of various combo shortcuts customizable of the key, along with changing the quickness of response.

If I was on a Windows machine, I'd use Process Monitor to watch what changes behind the curtain when enabling the RegiStar power-button flashlight shortcut. And then I'd tweak/reverse sideActions to do the same. Anyone know how to monitor to see what GoodLock/RegiStar sets/changes to enable this?

Also, the sideactions volume buttons shortcuts still work, which is nice. As I've been trying to figure out the power button issue, I've discovered that if you use the default non-Easy-Remapping method in sideActions, the power button shortcuts work again, albeit limited, meaning you see the brief glimpse of Bixby appear before the flashlight turns on/off.

It's only when the remapping does the "disable-user" on the Bixby process (com.samsung.android.bixbyagent) ...only then does the key no longer work. If Bixby goes down, the sideActions' power button functionality goes with it, at least until someone can figure out how GoodLock/RegiStar do the hooking.

Bump. I dearly miss the Play/Pause functionality of my side key that I had remapped for years on my S9. My new s20 with android 13 refuses to let me remap the power button. I can't code so I must rely on the community to kindly provide some assistance.🙋‍♂️

I was on the January patch, unrooted, sideloaded the new March update(with -w taken out of the sh and bat files) then booted up and patched the boot file with magisk, rebooted to flash patched boot and when I finally got back in and started checking my apps for functionality, I noticed the face unlock was being slow.

I tried deleting all security from the phone and rebooting to readd, but I still get the error.
