Re: [android-developers] Re: "lights out" mode PLUS menu soft key?

Yes the menu button is deprecated.  The menu is now part of the ActionBar as described at http://developer.android.com/design/patterns/actionbar.html

I hit the same problem with my app.

Why is the menu button hidden in the higher Android versions? If the Home and Back buttons are going to be there, why not also keep the menu button in the status bar? Is the menu system deprecated? I don't want to create a separate UI for this when there is already space at the bottom for such options. Moreover the Menu thing is an established paradigm for years; why should users and developers change the paradigm for no apparent reason.
