Ok this may be a dumb question but I have been searching for the answer and can not find it any where. I want to unlock and have the screen come on( comeout of standby) by sliding the keyboard out.
Like when you flip out the screen on the side kick.
I have the 2.17 custom rom by xelencin if that helps.
Thanks
I really want that feature too!
To add a same thing to your question, can i unlock the machine with one hand?
I have smartkey installed but everytime i try to unlock the screen, it said I have to press Unlock, and there is no way to press it with a softbutton, i have to either do it with a stylus or the keyboard....

The only problem I could see with sliding to turn on / unlock etc is that the magnetic catch on the standard case would then activate the switch on etc... I'm sure it would be possible to intercept this trigger in some way even when the OS is in standby but I can see issues with the device turning on when used with the standard case...
The screen doesn't rotate when you open the keyboard until aftr the device is turned on, which suggests to me that the position of he keyboard isn't monitored by the device when it's switched off. If this is the case ten it would be impossiblt to have the keyboard switch turn the device on.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Yep, pretty sure sliding the keyboard out does not create a wakeup event. It is possible that something like MortSaver could be used to mimic this function - that's a program that turns off the screen and locks the buttons when you press a hotkey - i.e. it doesn't put the device into standby, it just kinda puts it into low power mode. I'm pretty sure that could be rewritten to turn the screen back on when the keyboard slides out. Perhaps if you plead with the author...
[sticky!!!!] The "answer Only With Hw Buttons" option or similar solution...
...a lot to read... and a lot of solutions!
thank you guys!
Just an Idea... maybe its possible to set the Touchscreen sensitivity to VERY low everytime there is incoming Phone call. And then you cant accidentially press one of the onscreen buttons. However, i think registry entries only change after a softreset. MAybe there is some workaround?
this solution will affect the entire normal use of the diamond. :-(
anyone knows a cook?
it can't be so difficult.
I'm willing to pay the money saved in missed calls in one week. It could be a lot, for sure...
Agreed! it would be a great feature to have

Well actually i meant it a different way. Imagine.. There is an incoming Call... This call is recognized, and the touch sensitivity is set to very low. After the call is done, or the call is taken, the sensitivity is restored..
yep... but i suggest this like a second try....
the easiest way is to create a new phone skin.
the best is a "only hw buttons" option
i can't believe to the drink beer app... useless but true... and nothing about this bug... it's incredible.
I would be satisfied to have ALL the hardware keys to be locked during incoming calls and the screen locked and need to unlock the screen with ie a slide before be able to answer... As the hardware buttons also is easy to press when it's in the pocket when your sitting etc.

I think we're half a million to damn this bug.
WE ALL NEED to lock the screen buttons.

I don't get it. My on/off button is set to lock all other buttons when the device is off, apparently meaning the display. At calls the display is off after a few seconds and I have two choices to bring it back - push the on/off or remove the stylo causing notes to launch. Hence the only insident where I can see a problem is when the display is trickered to go on (alarm or incoming call) and it's way down the bag you may push something. Here I suspect the solution is to have it in a pouch. Anyway, I have seen many yields about this so i'll surely be victimised one day as well.
Its a really challenging app to make.
Think about it. How can u lock the keys yet mantain the ability to answer anytime with one button.
Tough call
maybe using the light sensor ... in the pouch screen off- out the pouch screen on

No, touching the screen will not bring the screen ON, the only thing that will bring the screen ON is pressing a hard key.
It's an excellent idea to make the light sensor feel if it's in the dark, and if so shut down the screen, the only problem is that nobody knows how to reliably do this for all ROMs (even official).
Take a look here guys... already lots of posts on this

1 a new phone skin without any buttons is the easiest solution i guess
2 changing the sensibility pressure works only on soft reset
3 light sensor... nice, but i don't think it's the best way to do this
isn't a predefined "lock screen" function on the diamond?
i'm a developer but i dunno nothing about pda application... i think it's weird if no one thought to a simple "block screen" function.

Looking for a app that will wake/turn on screen when on sleep mode with a simple touch of the screen.
While Asleep>>>Touch Screen>>>Slide to Unlock
instead of
While Asleep>>>Back/Home or Menu Button>>>>Back/Home or Menu Button to Unlock
Anyone want this? or am I being picky?
its called Lock 2.0

Thanks Johnny,
I know of Lock 2.0 BUT it does NOT wake the screen by a simple touch of the screen.
I am using Hero and would like to keep the slide down lock it comes with.
What I would like is a app that will simply turn the screen on with a touch of the screen so I can then slide down to unlock.

isn't that kind of the point of the screen being off? i turn it off so that i'm not hitting "buttons" in my pocket like i did with other phones

Yes I understand that, but have you noticed that the screen ONLY responds to the HUMAN touch. You can NOT use a stylus or anything other than your finger/skin. So having it in your pocket with say keys or what not will not activate the screen.
don't think thats possible,
if it did, it would BE A HUGE BATTERY DRAINER.
good luck finding one =) , i think your over your mind with this app lol.

Really... I dont see it that way, but then again im not a app developer
I dont see the difference in having a app that will replace the need to hit a button(call,menu,home or back) with touching the screen.
I've had my phone in my pocket with the screen accidently on and have had all kinds of buttons pressed from inside my pocket, so I personally wouldn't have a use for that app. But if it works for you, I hope someone makes it for you.
The difference is you'd have to poll the touchscreen constantly for any input, where as the buttons don't us any power until they're pressed and the circuit is completed.
I'm not an app developer either. I'm also not retarded. Just because you don't know the inner workings of an operating system doesn't mean that you're allowed to ignore physics and common sense.

altho it only responds to human touch, it does detect touch through thin clothing, so if you put it in your pocket, it will still press the screen.
The system is set to stop polling the screen once its off. The system will not respond to touch while it is off. The support for this would have to be built into a ROM I believe
The first thing i noticed from moving to the Droid 3 from my previous phone (Nokia N900), is that it doesn't unlock the screen when sliding the keyboard open.
So when i slide open my keyboard, i still have to do the 'slide to unlock' manually. This is not very natural to me, but if that's what Motorola decided, what can i do about it?
Is there some sort of tweak or mod possible for this, or is this something that cannot be changed? When i googled it, most topics are bout the Milestone series phones (this is the only qwerty android phone that behaves like this?). They suggested the software signal for 'slide keyboard open' is the same as 'press the screen on button', so if you want to disable the unlock menu here, it has to be disabled altogether.
Is this true?
I also come from a N900, I found the exact same thing frustrating, there is an app which disables lock-screens all together so you can also immediately unlock by pressing the power button.
App called "No Lock"
It does seem the case, yes, however there is an app which only turns lock screens off when the front proximity sensor is clear, so theoretically it shouldn't power button unlock when it is in your pocket - this is a paid app with a trial version.
App called "Auto Unlock"
If you're willing to pay for an app, check out widget locker on sale at Amazon. It has that option as well as some nifty extra features. I'm at the point now where my phone is more useful locked than unlocked lol
Sent from my DROID3 using xda premium
I don't think the keyboard opening sends the same signal as the power button.
When you press the power button the lock screen comes on in portrait regardless of how you are holding the phone. When you open the keyboard the lock screen comes on in landscape. So the phone knows the difference between the two.
BUMP
Is there any free app that will do this?
I'd like it to unlock when sliding open and to lock when i close it... but still be able to lock/unlock with the power button when I'm not using the keyboard
Thanks

I just bought it and enabled "slide to unlock" but it doesn't work
I restarted my phone and it works 1 in 10 times.. and when it does work there's a 2 seconds delay..(edit make that 5 seconds this is with the screen off)
I even root mode and tried disable the default lock screen.
I think I just wasted €1.50
You must have some conflicting SW, I'm using it on the D3 and the D2g and works perfectly, used it on the Desire Z and worked perfectly too.
And consider that I have heavily customized it with 6 sliders to access directly the main functions w/o unlocking the phone.

I haven't installed any other locking software!
It works fine if I first click button so the screen goes on, then slide-out.
However when I slide from screen-off it takes 5 seconds for the screen to go on. (btw sometimes it does go instantly, but this is rare)
It takes a longer time only if you close and reopen it quickly.
Try to close the phone, wait five or six seconds and then open it.
That limit is described well on the SW instructions, and theres also a 5 seconds fix on the options (I havent tried it)

Yes but root option should fix it but it does not.
Why the hell would anyone use the slider option if it takes 5 seconds to show the screen? I wanted this program so that I don't have to press a button before unlocking... now I still have to do that
Waiting some time then opening it doesn't help

Why in the hell, in the normal usage, one would open the slider in less than 5 second after closing it ?

I said that. If you close and reopen the phone quickly you can expect a delay, but not in normal condition.
I've just tested it with the verizon rom (I flashed it back to test the cyanogen), and while slower than the xt883 (all the rom is slower) surely doesn't take 5 seconds to unlock the screen.
Hi there,
im just searching for a simple app, that i can launch, which will turn off the screen, nothing more. Ok, now you say search the play store and you are right, there are plenty of them.
BUT all of them have the same problem: The screen goes off first, then back on and finally shows the lockscreen. But im just look for off, nothing more. Does anyone know an app which does work correctly?
Thanks!

Yes, I'm on ViperOne. (Not ViperRom, confusing isn't it!)
I have seen the issue you describe in the OT but I can't recall having that issue in months. Not sure what it has to do with, could be a conflicting setting/config in the rom.
Try searching on that symptom to try and track down what causes it.
ViperOne allows you to set the volume down button to lock which is nice. Also a custom kernel like ElementalX will allow you to use the htc logo to lock/wake.

Unless you disable the lockscreen or delay the actual time after the screen turns off to lock, you WILL see the lockscreen after turning off your screen.

From what I gather, the OP wants something to turn the screen off and make it NOT go to the lockscreen but the home screen instead, but I don't believe that's possible to do without disabling the lock screen or using an app that does so?
Although, I take that back. It is possible using Gravity Screen if you enable the "Disable Screen Lock" feature as it allows you to turn off your phone without the power button and doesn't enable your screen lock (unless you said in your settings that you want to activate the screen lock right after the phone goes to sleep). I have mine set to lock on power button and automatically lock a minute after sleep so that way, Gravity Screen does not lock my device. Although, this isn't the solution you were looking for per say.

The first part is right . It just comes back on from itself, right after turning off in the first place. I dont press any button, the phone is doing this on its own.
(Launch the screen off app -> screen goes off -> screen turns back on -> shows lockscreen) -> after screen timeout screen off again -> stays off. This is what happens. The first part (in parentheses) happens in about 1 second of time.
