[Q] No Unlock + disable hardware buttons - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
I have been trying a couple of locksreens, but somehow I realized, I don't need them at all, when I turn on my phone, I want full functionality, not just a lockscreen.
So I found "Nolock" on the market, which is almost perfect, only problem is that it unlocks with hardware buttons as well. Perfect solution would be to only unlock with a tap on the turned off screen, which cannot be delivered in any other way but your finger(e.g: in your pocket it shouldn't work, thanks to the capacitive touchscreen), and hardware buttons wouldn't react.
Is it possible somehow?

I can't belive nobody is interested!
Bump!

you will need a willing developer to use the source code from NoLock then add the features you want to it
i'm using NoLock as well, it works perfect the way it is
i want to be able to read my stuff as soon as i wake up the phone

Well, no lock developer tells it's not possible to disable volume buttons. I wonder if this problem could be solved at all.
Does it not pushed on in your pocket? This is my only fear about this app.

nope, not at all, never had it turn on, on its own

how to come out of standby by sliding the keyboard out

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...

Have hardware buttons working (for 3rd app) when S2U2 active?

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 misread your post.. I meant the autolock feature by holding down the end call button.. but it doesn't make any sense, cuz i misread ..
I used to untill I found out it doesn't lock the homebutton. But i might use it if it does now..
Sorry.. couldn't be of any help..
edit: I read something there about custom mapping sound control..maybe it'll help.. first post, all the way down.. but you should ask your question there .. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412418
edit2: installing s2u2 will make side volume control button useless.. so maybe that's it.. check the above link

About power/wake button

Hey guys
My phones power\wake button is starting to be kinda annoying, it doesn't always click and doesn't work great.
Is there any way to make another button have the same function as it?
I have tried making the G-button do it as it would be perfect for the job, but while it does lock the screen, it does not unlock it when the phone is sleeping, rendering it kind of useless in my taste.
also didn't find an option to make a power-rocker button(volume wakes screen).
I am afraid at some point my button will stop working, so in order to prolong its life I'd love to find a way to replace it when it comes to locking and unlocking the screen.
please help ? :laugh:
CM7 doesn't support wake with G Button, but other ROMs support, like CM10.

P10 how disable wake-up by home button

How to disable the home button when the screen is locked? The screen now activates when you touch the home button (finger reader) - later phone can be unlock by PIN or finger, but how to disable screen wake up by this butto?. I would like to block this possibility so that the screen wakes up only by pressing the on / off button.
Your P10 does this?
I tried it on my P10 a second ago. My phone only vibrates when I tap the homebutton with a finger or part of my skin which isn't getting recognized by the phone. But the screen stays of.
Which version are you on? I'm on VTR-L29C432B162
i have VTR-L29C432B151, and a wanne disable it, because it is very annoying.
Dude, you really don't understand how fingerprint scanner with its features works...
Workaround: just don't tap on that area

When you deactivate the fingerprint reader to unlock your device(settings/fingerprint/screen unlock), then when you tap on the reader, when the device is locked, the screen turns on.
I personally use fingerprint to unlock my device, but have another complain and that is, when i want to check my lock screen for missed calls/recieved messages i have to take the device to my hand and push the on/off button.
would be great to have double tap to wake function.

You misunderstand. I'm having this same grievance as it's so easy to knock the scanner when moving the phone that the next movement then swipes to unlock it and the next thing you know you're opening apps and tapping stuff.
I don't give two hoots about fingerprint scanners as they are inherently insecure so I will never use mine. I'd like the ability to disable it completely so it doesn't even act as a button.

You're using a password that you carry on your person at all times, is always visible, and can't be changed. If someone steals your phone they just need to grab your hand and put it on the reader to have full access.

Do you really think that someone would steal your phone and your hand just to unlock your device? Ok maybe if you are a bilionaire or presdent of the united states...
The same i can say about unlock pins or gestures ..they need just to put you under drugs and you will tell them the code.
Same as with iris scanner, they just need your phone and your eye .
Too paranoic in my opinion. There is way higher probability that you would die in car accident or airplane accident than someone stelas your phone and your hand . 99% of stolen phones are stolen beacuse of value of the device, not because someone would spend hours to get into your device.
But anyway it is your opinion ...

Indeed.
So, getting back on track, does anyone know a way to disable the fingerprint reader in its entirety? I suspect this may only be possible with a custom-ROM or at the very least root access.
Besides it makes no sense, I think there is no oficial way to completly deactivate the fingerprint reader.

Serious practical problem lock screen

Strange thing is happening recent to me...
Namely, while using headphones while talking on the phone, the unit gets unlocked while in pocket and problems arise with spontaneous keys getting activated.
If even cannot be explicitly locked by pressing the power button.
Have not found a solution to this problem, and it's strange why the proximity sensor does not work in pocket.
Cannot remember whether this was previously, or is it since last ROM upgrade.
Anyone having same problem?

Yep I have the same thing... Today my pocket took 9599295 pictures and movies.. also when I'm a bit sweat my pocket dial random numbers. I've noticed that when screen is touched and disnt recognize fingerprint then whole lockscreen shows up and its easy way to random open dial or camera... Its rly anoying, because I dont want to hide phone screen outside of the skin. (Its easier to break screen if I hit something with my leg.)
Dunno why it doesnt use proximity sensor to recognize that phone is in the pocket like every other brand... :/
Do you have the double tap to wake up activated?
I had this problem a while ago and it was the double tap that played all kinds of tricks calling emergency and taking pictures in my pocket! Disable double tap to wake up screen and the problem goes away.
Disable the fingerprint icon on when the screen if off.

Tried everything but the problem is eventually still there. Actually I've found a bug, namely the display will wake up once touched several times near the center of the fingerprint reader. Try it yourself.
Not nice - cannot avoid to happen it sometimes even if all options are disabled.

I didn't have this problem. If I try now and touch the part with the scanner, doesn’t have to be just the centre of the scanner, rapidly around ten times the lock screen will turn on, but nothing happens when I touch the shortcuts. Perhaps they are disabled, so the only thing that happens if the scanner is touched again is that the numpad to unlock with pin appears.
This is not good as it may severely affect battery life if it happens a lot. This clearly must be a bug!

Even worse, since it is happening all the time while on a call via BT and my phone is in the pocket. I am now thinking about to switch over to my old MI8...
Cannot understand why the keyboard is not disabled in the pocket. Seems so easy to do it but it's as it seems on.

My only solution was to buy a flip case. At first, I disabled the fingerprint reader by removing all fingerprints and setting up face recognition, but this didn’t fix the problem you are talking about. I don’t really like flip cases, but the Nillkin QIN Smartcase is rather good.
So now I ‘m eagerly awaiting a fix from Xiaomi so I can strip the Mi9 again!

Disabling the fingerprint icon has no effect on the problem we are talking about here. The only way to make the problem go away is to remove all the stored fingerprints thus disabling the use of fingerprints all together. This will shut off the fingerprint sensor doing away with this problem in a crude way.
If you really are looking for a setting, please use the search function at the top of the settings.
