Why does Zello open unexpectedly?

The Zello Android app has a habit of keeping control of the PTT button in the background, even when its been told not to. This can cause problems if you use a second PTT app (like Teamspeak).

How to fix this issue

The problem is fixed by changing the mapping for the PTT button. The following will fix the issue.

• Go into Options in Zello;
• Choose "Push to talk buttons";
• Remove everything except the "Screen button" and "Vox" button;
• Click the + icon, and you'll be prompted to add a new PTT button;
• Click the PTT button;
• You'll be taken back to the configuration screen. Zello will have added two new buttons, one called "F12" and one called "Hardware Button";
• Click on "Hardware button" and then choose the red "Remove button";
• Click on F12, and uncheck (no tick) the box marked "Handle the button in the background when possible";

That should be it. Zello PTT will work when Zello is the active app, and you can use the PTT button in other apps when Zello is in the background.
