Just got fw 7.0.9021 and noticing that pressing “Options” (“*”) button on the remote when in-channel has started making a gratuitous “deadend” sound now. What’s up with that?!
Re-stating verbosely: start an app (be it BrSc or native, does not matter). Press “*” on the remote (any remote, incl. ECP app) in a place where you know it did not complain in fw6.2. You’ll hear a slightly-annoyed-“ding” (like when reaching end-of-a-list). Try some other button that is passive in that screen, say A/B or maybe InstantReplay - no ding. This (mis)behavior seems to be in the input API.
Not cool. Is it a regression (i seem to remember there was deadend beep before) or intentional - and if the latter, how is it cured?

Perhaps you need to return “True” that you handled it yourself: as in Scene Graph Can’t - there is no facility for that in what i use (see here and here).
Also, AFAIR there is no way for an event to return code back in “classic” B/S events like roUniversalControlEvent. (If there were, we’d be doing 2-way comm. on ECP via roInputEvent.)
Oy! Roku* - what happened with this?
Four months passed - did somebody look at it, will it be fixed?
I am using the “options” button in an app and my supposedly current rOS 7.0.9044 still makes the stupid sound - but which is worse, when i hold- down, the sound starts repeating itself and turns into a machine-gun-fire audio, akin to http://soundbible.com/1371-Uzi-Shooting.html
Komag, what screen type are you using? I know it makes the sound for an image canvas and, for the record, the FF and Rew buttons also produce the sound, but I don’t hear it when using an roScreen. I reported the FF/Rew image canvas regression years ago when I first noticed it and actually had it acknowledged in one of the beta forums as a bug, but it’s still there years later, so I wouldn’t hold out any hope of the asterisk button deadend sound being fixed.

Ok, so my RTV running v7.1.0 4055-08 doesn’t make the sound but my R3 running v7.1.0 4061-04 does on roScreen. They all make the sound w/*, Rew, & FF on roImageCanvas.

I thought it might be the kind of remote (IR vs radio) but did a quick check and "" deadends on R3 both with radio and IR remote, so not that.
My guess is that RokuTV handles “*” differently (since it is also used for TV settings).
The << and >> in roImageCanvas are something separate since “*” deadend is pervasive throughout the player - no matter where - be it SDK or NDK app (Netflix, Vudu, YouTube, Pandora, games etc etc).
