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

How can I stop the screen from powering on when the keyboard is being slide out?
Kinda annoying when you slightly accidentally slide out the keyboard in you pocket

kaiser tweak -> keyboard -> slide wake -> disable
Why do you keep the kaiser in your pocket anyway many reports of cracked screens normally happen there.

Yup
There is a reason the screen is slightly lower than the rest. For protection.
But hey, if you don't take care, things get broken. But I believe the Wizard was extremely well built. It could take practically any beating. Sometimes I even believed it was bulletproof!
Hope the Kaiser can live up to the Wizard ^^

You have to soft reset for registry changes to take effect.

Really? That's handy! Thanks
since the center button on the dpad is heat sensitive, I think it would be great if it was possible to turn it on by touching it, or by doing a circle gesture, like zooming in opera.. I really hate the top button, It keeps turning on my phone in my pocket, and I dont like to lock my phone.. also, when in hand, its difficult to press....
I hope this idea could be made into reality...
Just being able to wakeup the phone using anything other than the top button or stylus would be great!
I swear that top button is going to wear out! It doesn't have as much push in it as any other button on the phone..
My diamond wakes up on hitting the center button.. or any of the hardware buttons.
the stylus wake is cool too, but not always feasible.
Start - Settings - System
Key Lock
When device is off:
I selected DO NOT LOCK BUTTONS

Happy to help
Sweet! Now I use any keypad buttons to turn on, and use G-sen to turn off by facing the phone downwards.
No more using the top button. True for me too.. the button seems to have been submerged more..
well, enabeling all the hardware buttons doesnt help much either, since they can be easily pushed in our pockets... still waiting for some of our awsome developers to come by, and figure something out with the center button, a gesture would be really cool, because I would have to worry about locking my phone
Sushilange, I believe is working on the shake application..
one of the most requested by the users (including myself) being shake to wake
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406921&highlight=released
lol.. shake to wake seems like a nice feature, but you dont think it will turn on in your pocket? even cooler would be if it could turn on with the light sensor, so you could just take it out of your pocket and it would be on but this wouldnt work in the dark
Edit: I am glad there is a lot of interest on this topic...
I am still hopeful about Shake to Wake
Don't think it would be turning on in the pocket.. unless you are running..
but anyways.. beats pressing the power button.. any day!
hm, I can agree that turning a phone on with a center button gesture would be the most stylish way, shaking a phone is just stupid.
How do you set up gsen to shut off the phone by facing it downwards???

FYI, it’s not heat sensitive, it’s capacitive. Although heat could also change the capacitance and still register as a touch!
Ha! When I bought it I would touch (not press) the centre button and it would wake up. I installed Bepe's ROM right away, and this functionality was lost - I then thought that it was just my idea in the first place!
Now I read the above posts and it seems that indeed you should be able to wake th device up by *touching* the centre button - how do I enable it back? And yes, "no lock" is enabled in Power Key Lock settings...
but if i want to block all buttons except central one?
I'm trying to use Conduits Pocket Player with S2U2 version (1.13), and I'd like to have the hardware buttons (at least volume buttons) working even when S2U2 is active and locks the screen...
There are options in the player to allow buttons mapping even when screen is "locked" or when app is in background, but it looks like the "lock" intended by this app is not S2U2's lock...
I don't know if I made myself clear, but any help would be great!
Thanks!

S2U2 doesn't work very well with Diamond..at least a while ago when i tried it and finally got it set up the way i wanted, i noticed the home button wasn't locked. It doesn't lock the homebutton.. so it's kinda useless..
Maybe your Diamonds auto-lock is on? Every time the screen goes black, it gets locked automatically?
I don't think so.
It is totally useful to lock the screen. To have backlight off but screen on, to have it on but still locked when you touch the screen, in order to see what time it is, and other usages.
I personally never accidentally unlock my phone by using hard buttons, and furthermore do need them to be unlocked to use them while the phone is in my pocket.

I used to untill I found out it doesn't lock the homebutton. But i might use it if it does now..

How?? Speak!!
[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.
WE ARE BORED of losing calls or answer accidentally taking out the diamond from our pockets.

AND YOU'LL BE REWARDED.

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.

The main defect with the Note 3 is that it requires a button-press to wake-up.
Let this thread be a collective bounty of alternative solutions until we can Slide2Wake which requires kernal changes and AT&T to unlock the bootloader.
Sign this petition in the meantime while you read on:
http://www.change.org/petitions/at-t-unlock-our-samsung-galaxy-note-3-bootloader
Working solutions:
-Use a proximity sensor app (very hit and miss) (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.omd.autoscreenon&hl=en)
-Use the S View cover (also hit and miss and unpreferred by many)
Any other solutions please add!
Why would you want a huge wake lock like that? A simple press of the home button is much easier IMHO. I'd rather not have to swipe across the screen to turn the screen on

You're right. It's a considerable battery drain. The surprising thing is.. in the end, the smoothness of button-free operation becomes *worth it* IMHO.
I turn my phone on and off a lot to check stuff. I'll look at my to do list then press the corner SwipePad shortcut to turn it off. Then I'll remember something while moving up a bit in the line and **without even looking down for a button** and half-entranced in contemplation still I'll swipe from one side of the phone to halfway to the other and it is ON by the split second both my hands hold it to to make a note or reminder, look up something, etc. after which i'll immediately press the corner shortcut again to turn it off and my phone stays in one hand while I people-watch.
For some reason this is much more relaxed and makes me feel like the phone is like a second brain where I don't even need to create mnemonic devices called loci as much like I used to.
Maybe that's what's making my memory kind of crappy. Maybe should go back to doing that for my to-do lists. Might improve my memory. ANYWAY. my point is:
(1) it's less mechanical effort to swipe and
(2) I like to save my buttons and don't want to eventually have to replace the home button on the Note 3 for like $50 or whatever.
I guess it's not that big a deal.
If I did have that feature though I wouldn't miss anything else from past phones especially since the Note 3 is big enough to fit in one hand BARELY and could do a HALF-swipe to wake feature.
**pretends to do it now**
I'm crazy.
I would like a solution to this as well. Tried the light sensor app but that wasnt working well. Really wish we had tap-on.
I really like not hitting any physical buttons because this phone is huge and unwieldy. Still love it though.

I assigned the power button to holding down the back button. That saves a little bit of button-life.
The app also is designed to support the same while the screen is off... but it doesn't seem to work yet.
Would be super awesome though to be able to turn the screen off and on while the back button is held. Just not there yet.
Screen on with swipe is the next best.. though much more battery intensive.
Has anyone just simply tried pressing the simple wake button on the side of the phone once? I mean you already have your hand on it most of the time since it is where your fingers are if you are holding the phone in one hand.
Also for you slider guys, it takes many more muscles to frown and it is the same to slide. Much better to smile and press one single button already under your thumb when you are holding the phone.

Congratulations Captain Obvious. You are the first person to ever think of that!
/\/\ sarcasm /\ /\
Read above about my experience with button-less waking in the SGS2.
Besides that, you're wrong, my thumb is actually closer to the screen than the power button when I am holding it.
And it's no effort at all. That's the whole point. It's the same slide necessary in receiving a call. No physical PUSHING required.
I can turn my phone on twice per second easily by linking one of the touch buttons to "power" as well. With zero concern for screwing up any physical buttons.
Anyway please only write in this thread if you have something that will contribute to the idea of "button-less wake"
I'm only looking for creating solutions to that.

If Note 3 has a button-less wake feature then can close this.
I think that won't happen till ATT lifts the lock tho..

P.s.: for those who prefer a different case: just wait till bootloader is unlocked > kernel unlocked > slide function can be made.
