Hello, when i move my screen up to open the keyboard the screen doesnt switch to landscape. Whatever button i press it wont do anything unless i close the lid. Lets say i go into sms, i open a new msg and i slide the phone to open the keyboard and write something it wont show anything unless i close the lid, then it will show me what i wrote. Plus the backlight on the keyboard works.
And all that without dropping the phone, no water no anything...so sudden..
any idea?

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....

and leave fingerprint smurk on the screen you mean?
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...
After replacing the screen and reinstalling the HTC Rom I am having the most frustrating keyboard/button issue.
When I turn it on everything works great, it's like a new phone. No problems.
When the screen shuts off, either manually or automatically and I turn it back on is when the problem arises. When using the phone with the keyboard, the phone seems to randomly after any key (only on the keyboard) push the center button the front.
Lets say I'm typing in Word, after the 3rd character for example it will save and quit. In SMS it will make a new line. In explorer it will bring up the context menu. Each time the buttons on the from of the phone will turn on, which they shouldn't be doing.
I can use the buttons on the front to do what ever and the problem wont come up, only with the keyboard.
What could I have screwed up while replacing the screen? The thing I don't get is the correlation with the screen shutting off.
Fixed
I fixed it and I'm posting here in case someone else has the same problem.
The faulty part was the scroll wheel and it's little PCB board. I replaced that and now it works. I also discovered that if that piece is missing, you will have the same problem.
most of the time but not always when i slide the phone open the screen goes blank. i need to open and close a few times to get it to properly rotate. is this a hardware issue? how can i fix this. i searched it and others have had this problem as well but i cant find a solution.

Hope your phone is still under warranty, if not you're going to have to pony up cash to SE to fix it or you can try to fix it yourself.
the thing is mine sometimes works fine when i slide it, it rotates normally without black screen. other times when i slide it open the screen goes black, i open and close it a few times and it goes to landscape normally.
I would also suspect the ribbon cable, might be your abrasive wear only just started affecting your phone
are you still on warranty?
It doesn't do this every time, but quite often and it seems to be random as I can't make it happen by doing one thing in particular. So, I used the phone for whatever, and then put it down, wait for the screen to go off and then in between the screen powering off and the always on display coming on, I get what you see in the photo below, and also in the bottom left corner in tiny writing, it says something about screen powering down and then something else that flashes on too quickly to read.
What do you reckon? Thanks.
Apologies for the screen protector, not got round to fitting the Whitestone dome yet.
I tend to get that whenever I open the keyboard for the first time after opening an app like WhatsApp or Snapchat. I don't get it when turning off.
I also get it when I press the middle button to go home from within an app.
But then again, I also have the taskbar to swipe up whenever I need it, so I'm not sure if this is relevant to me.
I.e I don't have the taskbar set to be static
Hi everybody, I've been having a hideous issue with my Note 8 ever since it updated to Android Oreo. So, before when I turned my phone on, either by pressing the home button on the screen or by using the button on the side, I could see the notifications and I could view the whole preview by sliding them down, touch them and open them, erase them or leave them where they where. Now as soon as I use either one of this buttons, the phone automatically selects one of those notifications and pops up the screen with the sign password and iris recognize without giving me the chance of seeing the notifications. If I go back without using the password, the notification it wanted to open gets deleted. It basically takes away the possibility to check the notifications. The problem gets worse when I'm at home because I have the smartlock enabled, so (when and if it works) it opens up any notifications by itself. Sometimes, it's actually rare but it happened a few times already, it does everything on its own. It's on my bed far from me, I'm not even looking at it, a notification arrives, it turns on by itself and asks for my password to open the notification. What do you think? I hope someone has an answer and I hope i didn't create a new thread on an issue already discussed about, but I couldn't find anything similar
