Question about changing hardware buttons - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Hi
I have some questions about „Buttons“…
For me, the on/off (power) button is too small and sometimes hard to press so I wish to use for example the volume button to do the same. Is that possible?
First:
Does it matter in terms of battery life if I press the On/Off button for standby or if I lock the device by pressing the “red” button?
Second:
How can I define the hardware buttons? I don’t get along with the “buttons” menu in the settings and I couldn’t figure it out with the “AE Button” tool.
Thanks!

Sleep Wake-up with every button

On my Tilt, EVERY BUTTON [except left, right, up, down, and select] will cause it to WAKE-UP from sleep mode.
How can I prevent this???
I would like just the OK button to wake up my device.
Thank you

I've never seen anything that allows this.. It's the four hard buttons (2 phone/win/ok) and power, or just the Power button.
It's in the Key Lock preference under System.
Personally I'd like it if I could do something like hit one of the four hard buttons and another button immediately after or it powers off. If I set it where all the hard buttons will turn it on I find it turned on every time I take it out of my horizontal pouch. But if it was set to some very simple key 'combination' it'd be easy to turn on myself (vs the tiny power button) but wouldn't stay on all the time in my pouch.
That is my point, either No buttons wake-up except the hard to get to power button or all buttons wake-up.
I there a registry hack that will allow the power button and one other button, maybe the OK button to wake the device up??

Change power button toa different one?

I was wondering if there was a way to re-map the power button to the OK button so when i want to turn on my x1 screen instead of pressing the power button i press the Ok button or maybe another button?
would this be possible? thanks,
Not sure about the re-mapping, but there's a setting under settings>system>key lock that lets you wake up the device by pressing any hardware key.
I need this too!
Have you tried with one of the several button/key mapping tools available?
Did you tried long pressing end call button? Mine locks screen...
Cheers!
Edit: Try AE Button Plus to map your keys.

Power Button Malfunction... Any way to remap and disable?

Hello,
I have a Telus Milestone and the power button seems to have malfunctioned. It seems to be randomly sending presses to the phone. The screen will randomly turn on and off and bring the power button hold menu.
When booted into recovery at the exclamation mark screen, the phone will randomly turn off as if the power button was pressed.
Is there any way to remap the power button in android to do nothing, and then remap the camera button to act as the power button? Thanks!

AFAIK a simple remap of the power button could not be done in software.
The power button is not like the other buttons.
It is physically connected to special signal on PMU to suspend and resume the CPU.
If you got some technical skill, it might be physically replaced by soldering.
Also have a look at your flex cable which is connected to the outter buttons, maybe there's some physical damage.

[Q] How to active screen without power button

My kaiser's power button is dead,,,How can I active the screen without power button? Sorry for my poor English.
Easy, just rewrite the kernel with ATools and under the button mapping part assign a new button.
I assigned the "end" button as well as the power button (there is an option for this inside a box to the left), that way I can wake my phone with either the power or end button.
Hope this helps...

Lock Widget

Can anybody recommend an app what puts a lock icon widget on the homescreen? My case don't allow to press power button, and button savior is too confusing for my mother.
similar Q
Howdy, pardners!
I on the other hand wonder, whether there is possibility to disable onscreen lock - my back button is hardly reachable so i am not worried that it will get pressed. Sliding the screen everytime i just what to know the time or what ever is however quite annoying. Any chance to disable only touch screen, no screensaver - just Laucher home screen with clock, calendar..., unlocking with back button or quick some combination of others?
Would be magical !
regards
In regards to the first post: have you looked in nook touch tools? There may be a way to set one of the side buttons as the power button, therefore locking it.
Good luck!
I dont know if anyone has it too but:
Go to button savior, check the box that says android recent task.(just bottom of the first page).
And everytime that i press the n button long, it goes to lockscreen. i dont know why. Also long pressing the home button on the button saviour does the same thing too.
The power button and the "n" button go to different electrical sections than the four hard side buttons
The two buttons go to dedicated input pins, the four buttons are part of a scanning matrix.
Although it might be possible to statically enable the whole matrix so that you could detect a button push without scanning (while asleep)
it seems that they would have not handled the buttons separately if that were the case.
In short, any button can be assigned to power and put the Nook to sleep.
Although I'm not sure if any button would be able to wake it?
