Turn off trackball wake and unlock - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, i have the new rom eViL's NXSense v.1.26 - (F)The (I)Gravy (N)Train
I have a big issue.
When i put the phone on the pocket,the trackball option of wake and unlock, unlock my phone and touch thinks on the screen.
Is there an option or a way to turn off this function wake and unlock?
Please is there is anything, help me!
Thnx a lot.

try Spare Parts

There is not such thing in the setting, or in the main menu.
I look to all places on the rom, i don't know where i can search anymore.
Thnx

Com'on guys nobody know how to resolve this?
I cant take my phone with me outside, because of that. And to hold them in the hand , i don't want.
Pfff..so bad, this rom is awesome,but this thnig is bad.

In cyanogen ROM, in The settings, there is an option for the lock screen to be on or off. So if on, and the track ball was accidentally pressed in your pocket, nothing would happen because there's no way the swipe to unlock can be accidentally swiped.
Does your ROM have this option?

He have trackball unlock so if he press the trackball the phone wake up and if he press again the phone unlock... In my rom I have Button settings and there I have Trackball wake...

Spare parts is in the market.

Roger is like Obsy said. When i press once , wake, after that press again,and unlock. I don't have any button settings,to change that.
My rom is : eViL's NXSense v.1.26 - (F)The (I)Gravy (N)Train
I will tray the spare parts from the market, and then i told you how it work.
Thnx for the answers guys.

Spbeeking right now i will try this. Thnx

Thnx Crachek, i try dis right now, lets see how it works.

Yes it work, trackball still wake up the phone but now does not unlock them second time i push. well this is better. hope Evil, read my message and tell me how to do , to never wake the phone with trackball.

Ok it's official, the best forum ever xda, and nobody knows how to disable trackball wake and unlock. Even the creator don't answer to my pm. Well i guess i should change back to the original rom.
THnx everybody

There is no such option - means, the same file that you've flashed needs to be hacked (decompiled, changed and recompiled) again to remove the trackball wake.

Not true. I too am haunted with this issue on reider's CM10 ROM. I can verify the issue by pressing the trackball to wake, then mashing the screen with my palm a few times to unlock. Anyone experiencing this issue knows how annoying it is.
Has anyone come across a solution yet?

what a terrible problem to have

New 2.X lock screen?

I've noticed that when running the new 2.X lock screen you can also press the menu button to unlock the screen. Is this by design? Is it possible to turn this off? I've noticed that all the 2.x builds have this behavior. I think this defeats the purpose of the lock screen. Any thoughts?
I have been wondering the same thing. I anxiously await an answer. I hope the menu button can be turned off so it won't unlock the phone.

This is all you have to do:
1. Press call/power/menu/home
2.screen should light up when any of the above are pressed
3. now you need to just slide the lock on the screen
You dont have to use menu if you dont want to, its not like they force you to do it like on donut roms.

I'm worried about pocket dialing due to being able to unlock the screen via menu.

while i would also like the ability to disable unlock by pressing the menu button too, what's the likelihood of something in your pocket pressing a button smaller than a paperclip, not even considering it would have to press it twice in the time the screen is on?
you cant necisarly pocket dial on a touch screen phone?? you can turn on the screen but your not going to pocket dial, if your so worried about than turn on the screen timeout
How is that different from 1.x roms? The only option to unlock the phone was to press menu button twice. Now we just have an extra option of doing it from the screen and all of the sudden people are complaining....

The only diff is that you slide to unlock in eclair and have to press menu to unlock on donuts.

i think what he was getting at was that other than the slide to unlock feature, it's exactly the same as the cupcake or donut builds.

[Q] Lock Screen won't "Unlock"

The lock screen on my Droid will not unlock. It will move when I try to swipe it, but it snaps back and won't open. Knew it won't help, but did a battery pull, re-booted and nothing changed. I can't get to any kind of menu that I know of because it is an unrooted, stock phone. I can't use the phone at all if I can't unlock it. PLEASE HELP!!!
Come on, no responses? I know someone on here can offer up something...

u sure u swipe/pull ALLLLL the way to the right?
It happens to me sometimes for the phone call, when you did not complete the whole sliding on the very 1st time. Dunno why, but a double power button click (off screen/on) solves the problem.

[Q] Long Press Trackbal -> Lock Phone?

First off: I tried searching. It returned dozens and dozens of posts about how to WAKE the phone with the trackball
Like many, I have a nexus one with a broken power button. I'm running Cyanogen so I can easily wake the phone with the trackball. I also have a widget to lock it from the home screen.
I would however really like a way to lock the phone with a hardware button somehow. Long press on trackball or volume buttons would be awesome. I never use the volume buttons anyways so I'd give them up if I had to.
Is there any way to do this? If so how deep would the integration have to be? New kernel? Kernel patch? Root access app?
Thanks, and sorry if this has been posted before. I swear I tried searching
It's a great idea actually. I can't see why Trackball Wake couldn't also be Trackball Sleep. I would love to see this implemented!
Perhaps someone would like to take up the challenge?
Screen off and lock
There is an application called Screen Off and Lock.
You can turn off the screen by long-pressing search button.
- Trackball Wake
- Long-pressing Search button sleep (screen-off)
This way I don't use power button at all.
That's pretty awesome! Thanks
A bit sad to lose the usage of my voice search though. But I'll sacrifice that over the hardware locking method!

[Q] Double press home button to lock?

Hi
I like my nexus 6 but I don't know how much crack they had smoked by the time they had to decide where to place the buttons.
The buttons are not only all beside each other so you're always pressing the wrong ones, but they are dead center of the side of the phone so every time I pick it up I lock it by pressing the power accidentally. It also does not help that this phone looks the same upright as it does upside down, so you never even know which side to expect the buttons on.
Anyway. Is there a hack/app that would let me change the behavior of the power button? I want to change the phone to lock/standby on a double power button click. I wouldn't even mind a double click to wake! I do not want a double tap to lock. I don't want to rely on tapping on my screen.
Thanks for any help. I've tried popping the power button off my case which is great, but I hate relying on the phone to timeout before going to sleep. I'm not looking for a solution like that.

With alternative launchers (eg Nova) you can assign gestures to homescreen or swipe up on dock icons...
In addition to using a different launchers, you could use something like Screen off and Lock which allows you to replace Google Now in your navring (swipe up from your navigation bar) to be a screen off option.
Neither are exactly what you are looking for, but it is the closest you will get without root and/or a custom ROM. With that you have more options, there are double tap navbar and statusbar to sleep options available. I would imagine Xposed would have some options as well.
Hey guys sorry for the late reply.
I actually do use the nova launcher and its pretty sweet. The issue is not to add more gestures to sleep the screen. The issue is that the power button is so easy to click by mistake. I was hoping for a double tap the power to lock or something to prevent it from locking so easily. I usually press it once by mistake when picking it up..but I doubt I will accidentally pick it up and click it twice consecutively...and if I do, well im sure it wont happen too often.
I have root I am willing to try just about anything so if someone knows of a custom rom that could offer this then that would be sweet. I saw someone mentioned it above. Interested!
Thanks again for all your help
Try Invisible Lock Widget. Works a treat every time. I've used it for years and not once has it not responded.

[SOLVED]HTC One M7 thinks I use buttons, doesn't respond.

Hi all!
First of all, I'm not sure if I'm doing everything right here, so excuse me if I'm doing something wrong
I'm new.
I've had my HTC One M7 from aliexpress.com for 2 weeks and 2 days now.
Have had great fun of it, nothing seemed wrong, was working perfectly. There were some rumours about an unofficial android-version that was put on this phone, which might be the problem..
Everytime I turn the phone screen on it thinks I hold/doubletap/tap/repeatedly tap the home button, and sometimes when I power it off it thinks I hold the volume down-button and takes a screenshot.. When I finally get to type my 4-digit pin code, it unlocks, goes to home screen, does the same again. Seems like my phone thinks I'm using the buttons..
I've changed settings (in a legit official way via Settings) of my home button to Hold for menu, Hold and swipe up for Google Search, and double-tap for recent apps..
Have tried factory reset twice, have tried rebooting it over and over, have tried almost anything.. I'm at the point of buying a new phone now, because I fear that HTC will not help me because it's an unofficial version of Android.. Any suggestions?
Everytime I open an app it just closes it and goes to home, sometimes before it does that it opens recent apps.. After that it just freezes and I can't touch it. Sometimes after waiting a couple of seconds, I can tap the screen and maybe it's fast enough to open for example WhatsApp, and then it just shuts off and does what I just stated.
Really weird!
I'm quite desperate. Could a custom ROM (Cyanogen or Android lollipop) fix this perhaps?
Please, help

This is purely a hardware issue. Your home button is somehow always in "on" position. Given it's a capacitive button, it could be the digitizer or a scratch on the home button area

This is somewhere about what I mean, read my reply also.
This might even be closer to what I mean.
Should I just send it back to HTC or can I fix this myself, with your heroic help?

Seems like just the thing I wrote. Considering it's a hardware issue you could replace the screen-digitizer assembly by yourself if you are familiar with that kind of work. I tried once on my old Desire and fried the motherboard, so I don't have cojones to do it [emoji6]
