Can you turn off the Action Button completely? I keep pressing it accidentally while picking up the phone and it is more of a problem than a benefit.

I mean, the mute button was pretty cool as it was. Not really a fan of the action button. how often will you use it for any other function anyway. Most of us will just set it to mute and unmute, JUST LIKE when it used to do that.
