How to lock buttons selectively?

Hi fellas.
The power button of my diamond has submerged slightly, and I'm trying to use it less frequently.
I turn off my device now using G-sen and flipping it down. As for turning it back on, I have to use the power button. I've also selected "Do not lock buttons" under keylock settings. It works great, l but I only want to use the action button to wake up the device.
Other than the "lock all buttons except power button", is there a way I can "lock all butons except the power/action button" ?
Thanks!

Help.... Anyone?

yes i want to find out too!... it will be so useful if thats possible

Turn off the phone by turning it face down.
Turn on - by taking the pen out.
So you don't use the power button...

Nice one, bro...
But I hardly use the stylus...
Anyone?

You don't need to lock any buttons. If all you want is not to press any buttons accidentally in your pocket, just install Slide to Unlock (S2U2) and don't lock any buttons. That way, you can wake the phone up by any button and slide your finger on the screen to wake the device up.

Yea, I knew this would pop up.
S2U2 gives an extra step, which I don't want.
Just want to use the action button to wake the device. Thats all.

Locking diamond

hi everyone!! i found that if i press some time the end call buttom, there are a few options that i could do, one of them is to lock the diamond... and i set long press the end call buttom to lock the device...
diamond locks when long press the end call buttom, but doesn't go sleep... is there anyway to put the power buttom to do the 2 things simultouneasly?? when you press the power buttom, it locks the device and put it to sleep! is anyway to do this??

I believe that when the device is in standby from pressing the power button all the other keys are locked with exception to the power button anyway? I know its not exactly what you're after but it seems a simpler solution than any others I can think of.

Some sort of script would do it, either MortScript of SKScheMa, to first lock the device (by launching Endkey.exe) and then power off.
Edit: There's also an auto keylock setting that I think locks the device anytime the power is off, maybe that's what you need?

Hi this is how I have always locked my diamond by pressing power off it locks and turns off the screen also, this is performed by a registry edit, using a registry editor and going to Hkey-current-user\controlpanel\backlight\autodevicelockenable and changing from 0 to 1, this will also auto lock everytime the backlight turns off so you may have to change back light off time

that should work.. but there isn't a simply way to put the power off key to do the lock of the pda and to switch off the lights??
isn't a way to do this??

Check these two threads... it looks like Armstrom's lock does the job.

X1 Auto Key Lock?

Hey I was hoping that someone new of a registry setting or 3rd part app that I could use to automatically lock the keys of my X1 after a minute or so.
I can only find the option to do it with a password in the standard settings and I'm sure that would get annoying after a while so I was hoping to do one without, just like that standard key lock.
Any ideas?

For me after one minute it will lock automatically and can only restore it with the power button (can lock the keys manually by pressing the power button key too).
See Start -> Settings -> System -> Power -> Advanced
Tick the second option and set your preferred time.

Do you mean the lock function from holding down the end call button?

Exactly, I would prefer that to the setting to turn the screen off and only being able to turn it on via the power button, if possible

Something like this. Have not tried it myself

Sorry if this isn't what you are after, but...
Start -> Settings -> System -> Power -> Advance
On battery power:
[x] Turn off device if not used for: [3 min \/]
Start -> Settings -> System -> Key Lock
When device is in Sleep mode:
(x) Wake up the device by pressing the POWER button
...results in my phone going to sleep after 3 mins of no use, with the only way to wake it by pressing the power button (or to have an incoming call)

Yeah in those 3 minutes the screen takes any touch as an input though, while being in your pocket.
I don't get it, if you hold down the close call button the phone locks itseld and you get a click here to unlock screen if you touch the screen. Why can't the X1 have an option to enable this after x seconds?
Hell, my T630 has that.

What's wrong with the power button lock? It is almost the same, the difference is that you don't have to touch the screen to unlock but press the power button.
I don't understand at all this topic. The topic starter said he wants a lock without pressing anything after one minute. The solution provided by me and artesea is exactly that. Again the only difference is the unlocking method which instead using the screen you press the power button.
People are quite finicky these days....

I find this annoying also.
I now have to lock my phone (holding down the end call button) and then push the off button when I put it in my pocket. Would be better if theres an auto screen off and keyboardlock when you push the off-button.

Sorry, do we have different phones??????
To "lock" my phone I press the Power button, everything goes dark and I can put it in my pocket, doesn't matter if I hit the call button or tap the screen, the only way to "unlock" the phone is to press the Power button again.
If I forget to press the Power button after 3 minutes (but you can set this as low as 40 seconds) it "locks" the phone for me.
No need to press the End Call, or tap on the today screen.

I used to just press the power button and put the phone to sleep too... but then after a could long flight I found out that 1) if I put my phone in my jeans' front pocket (or actually... anywhere that have a chance to bump the power button), I can hit the power button and 2) once I hit the power button, the phone wakes for a couple hours trying to search for the network in the sky... and thanks god the plane didnt crash because of that but it did drain all the battery
I dunno if you have seen this too, but I realized that happened to me a couple times (not only on the plane but when I was walking as well) and eventually I decide I will hit the end call button to lock the phone before I hit the power button
this also happened when I had S2U2 installed... but since I didnt find it too useful (very nice if you want a iphone feel... but I already had an iphone for too long =P) and I dont want another application running in the background I decided to use the lock button instead

I was looking for automatic keylock too .. and then I too relized I don't need it ! Automatic screen-off is all I need.

For everyone who doesnt understand this thread, hold down the end call button and wwatch what happens.
The benefit is that yiu can see updates, email, sms, etc because the screen remains on for a while.

aaa..a lil help needed..i want to lock (the end call button lock) to happen automatically.
NOT the POWER button lock....
When i long hold the cut-call button, (which also has a lock icon on it) to happen automatically and is there a setting anywhere???

Try TouchLockPro, ever the best, even if just a few function is working on Xperia.
But actually this is what you are looking for.

[Q] Any way to lock keys as well?

My phone tends to turn off in my pocket due to the power button being held and then, somehow, the "turn off" on the screen clicked. Is there any way to make screen lock lock the physical buttons as well? So that clicking the power button turns the screen on like it does now but holding it doesn't make the window prompt. From what I see, there's no such option in the android itself so some app maybe?

our phone have only one physical lock button but you can use some application for lock the screen by tap the application's icon such as "screen off and lock" or "lock widget"
and you can unlock by home button also.

Oh, but what I meant was not that I want to lock/unlock without using the physical lock/power button. I'd like it to sustain its funcionality apart from the "hold" action when the screen is locked. It shouldn't open the window with flight mode/turn off etc. when the phone is locked. Do the mentioned above apps let me do this?

So there's no way to change the function of the power button?

The above applications can only lock your phone by tapping the screen, but to unlock without using the power button...mabye a developer can help you so he will make a lock application wich ignores the power button when the phone is locked and you could unlock it by pushing the home button(wich is harder to pres by mistake in your pocket).
Anyway, it could be a good application for Market, I dont think that you are the only person that has this problem.

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?
