Menu/home soft buttoms - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I was curious if someone could tell me what the left and right arrows are for on either side of the menu/home/back buttons (see attached pic). I press them and nothing happens, and I can't find a description anywhere of what they do. Thanks

I wish those arrows showed up on mine, guess Sprint didn't get that option. Unless it's something you are supposed to enable in settings.

Did some searching for you, any chance you have an app called "Contacts Blast"?

I have contacts blast, but I aquired it not too long ago. This anomaly had made its appearance as soon as I rooted and flashed my first 2.2 rom back in august. Contacts blast was purchased a month and a half later.

There is no way to get it to display just the name of the person messaging you without also previewing the message is there?

Hello, in the future questions need to go into the question sub forum. I'm moving your post for you.
i dont think Samsung turned on the option to disable this. It was always in the "sound" menu but I dont see it. I was looking for this, as well.
I'm sorry, for wrong thread. ..

Bump
I used to get this now all I get is a toast notification and it doesn't stop the volume from increasing.
I can't remember if I hit OK and don't appear or if it just stopped appearing after I hit OK 10 times
I've hit it God knows how many times. .. so frustrating. ..

Double tap the double box next to the circle!
Hit it enough and it goes away!

It is just above fingertips sensor and to the right! Switches between double and single box depending on what is currently selected

I know how to turn it off if active. I want to disable the feature entirely. It activates and stupid times and I want the feature gone.
