what's up guys Lew here back with another video and today I'm checking out you know something that quite frankly I like this of course is the idea of adding buttons physical buttons to your smartphone this is called press e the almighty Android button now I did a video a little while back about a different kind of button I can't remember the name right now but I'll link it in the description you can go check it out it's actually three buttons that use NFC and stick to the back of your device so you can quickly launch into whatever you want with a physical button this one takes a slightly different approach it goes into the headphone jack of your device it uses the the data portion of that port to trigger various things look at the packaging very straightforward here but the promise is so extravagant keep your press e safe so there you go they even thought about when you're not using the press E you just have this little adapter on your headphone cable that you put it in that's it that's the little guy Jack look at that look how cute is that I don't use that word cute often when I do it's very important that's cute and then you pull out the button itself and that's it it's like the end of your headphones without the headphones now there is an app there you go I put the code in now take a look at that jack it's ready to go sit here so we're activated now practice clicking short press to short presses right three short presses oh my goodness now it's telling me to add an action for example tagging your flashlight all right here we go give your action a name choose a trigger and go for one press ok and then I'm done by default it has three actions baked in including flashlight launch camera and toggle mute flashlight is one press oh there we go whoa that just happened it's actually a satisfying little click there as well it does take a second but there you have it now camera is a double tap so let's do a double tap real quick hmm you have to be how fast you have to be had to be pretty fast it's a quick double tap Oh flashlight that time it's a fast double tap like you've got to get used to it this is gonna be the toughest one a triple tap let's see here there you go I got it now I feel like I'm getting the hang of it you can see toggle mute up there and then to get it off getting a phone call here cheese hello hello the toggle sound press he requires access I see okay I got to give it access here okay let's try this again so let's say I'm watching a video real quick okay medias all the way up so we're muted right now do the old triple tap oh that's interesting that's pausing the video so if I'm in YouTube it's got a different set of rules it's gonna actually pause the video what the hell is going on here I can't hear any YouTube look so you can hear that you know why because it thinks I have headphones plugged in wait a second you can't use your speakers that's what happened with the phone call it thought I had a headset plugged in wait a second here it's like hacking the play/pause button on your headphones we can do a lot of cool stuff toggle a lot of cool stuff here lock the screen rotation toggle your your vibrator your bluetooth I'm gonna try unplugging it okay audio is working pause it plug this back in is that press it yeah pressing press II was pressed while being plugged in please disconnect and connect it again without pressing holy thing is temperamental cool still no audio SoundCloud nothing maybe there'd be a setting for it to still output the audio via speakers because for me that's kind of a deal-breaker I really feel it's a little bit half-baked especially considering the other buttons that I used again I can't remember the name dimple I'm gonna link the video go watch this video that stuff was seamless seamless and it didn't hijack your headphone jack hijack again the whole like double triple press on this thing yeah yeah I'm over it I'm over it it's cool to use the headphone jack in that way appreciate the ambition but I think the NFC buttons are actually the way to go let's go check that out there you have it there are a lot of lose you're seeing Lou then reflected Lou then monitor version of Lou it's too much Lou
