What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use a Samsung Grand Neo GT-I9060(has a hardware button). Android 4.2.2
2. Configure app to use a SIP provider etc; the app generally works

Issue: Regardless of what tab is selected (phone, Clock, favorites star, or text message), there is a menu item missing from the bottom:  the three dots menu item is missing, making impossible to disconnect etc.

On a different phone, the Google Galaxy Nexus that runs pure Android, there is a three dots menu item.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The menu with the three dots is not there, and I see no way to get at it.

What version of the product are you using? On what device / operating
system?
version 1.02.00

Please provide any additional information below.

    Normally, if the phone has a hardware button, the menu item does not appear in UI and this is expected because a press on the hardware button should open the menu.
    This is made by the android OS normally and it's not something that needs to be managed by apps. The app just declare "hey there is an extra menu" and android os will either push something in the UI bottom bar, or bind the hardware button of the phone to menu.
    If that's not made by the android OS, there is maybe something special with this ROM+device. Are you using a stock ROM?

    Thanks much - I would like to close the case as a non-issue.
    Due to me not realizing how Samsung has changed stock Android.
