Hey guys,
i am using the latest cm6 stable. The option for wake/unlock with trackball is unchecked - i restarted, but i still can wake the phone with the trackball!
That sucks because the case pushes the button sometimes.
FYI: Im using Widgetlocker, but wake with any key is also off!
Anything i can do?

I'm using jjblaster's 28014 ROM. I have the setting to NOT lock the keys when the device is off. Whenever S2P is running and the screen goes blank, the keys don't wake the device back up as they do when S2P is not running. The only way for me to get it to wake back up is to slide it out, then back in.
Do I have something strange in my settings for S2P or something? Has anyone else experienced this? Is there an easy fix (registry, a setting somewhere, etc.)?
Bump. Anyone have any ideas? I'm also running S2U2 if that makes a difference. It doesn't have the problem while not running S2P though.
I was running that ROM for a little while on my Tilt with no issues like you're describing, have you Reflashed and reproduced the issue?
Just to make sure, you're trying to wake it up with the power button correct?
I have flashed a few times and it's a problem every time with various ROMs.
It seems to be a problem with S2U2. I don't lock the keys when the phone is asleep (using Settings/Personal/Keylock). Normally, S2U2 just wakes the phone up when I hit any of the hardware keys... just not when running S2P.
I can still wake the phone up with the Power key but my power button is messed up so it's hard to do it that way.
My power button since yesterday only started working half the time. It will wake the nook but it wont turn off the screen... nootered of course. Ideas anyone? Alternatively if there's a widget i can get that will work too.

My lock/power broke off and no way of fixing it. I'm running miui and very pleased with it so I'm not going to be flashing anything as I can't haha but I was wondering if I can map the volume buttons make my screen turn on so I can slide unlock. I can lock it through my phone but I can't make the screen turn on to unlock without plugging it in, getting a call/message or have it never sleep. So I'm just looking for a way to make my screen to turn on to the lockscreen.
Update: I couldn't figure out how to remap the lock/power button so I went with an easier solution. Widgetlocker has an option to where any hardware buttons can wake the device. Just thought I would post my solution for those who have the same problem.

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!
I am tired of sending my N1 back to HTC to have the power button repaired.
At the moment it's very hard to press so I am using custom apps to power off the phone with a widget (or long press on Search) and power on with the Vol Up key.
That works fine but means I can't have a PIN lock on the phone and means I can't connect to my work's Exchange server.
Is there a custom ROM out there or something that requires ROOT access to the phone that allows you to power on the phone with a different key but retain PIN number access? Somebody mentioned on another thread that this was no possible with a stock phone and it had to be rooted but I can't find an application that has this functionality.
Thanks
You are referring to waking up the phone correct? cause powering on is a totally different thing and I don't think you can power on with any other buttons if the phone is completely off.
If you can flash CM7, you can have trackball wake than unlock via pin code or pattern.
Sorry I meant waking the phone up not power it on which can't be done with software of course.
When I get my phone repaired I will look in CM7. I would prefer something else than the trackball to wake the phone since it's easily pressed. I do like vol up that one tool provides.
Yes, as baseballfanz mentioned, CyanogenMod has the ability to wake up the phone with the trackball (I also believe they recently added in the ability to wake it by the volume buttons). And it is built into the ROM, so there aren't any additional apps necessary for that.
They also include a notification widget to turn off the screen (it shows up in the notification drop down along with other buttons - similar to the power control widget). I also got an app called Lock Screen which allows me to place an icon in my main dock (or anywhere else for that matter).
EDIT: I just checked, and I do have the volume wake option on my phone. I am running nightly #151. I am pretty sure it is not in the stable 7.0.3, but it might've been put in before 7.1 RC1. If not, it will definitely be in RC2.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Sounds good. What I want is to be able to unlock the phone with the power button (I press the trackball too easily) and when that button is pressed, I am presented with the standard unlock screen with PIN number entry.
At the moment I have a free app from the market that unlocks the phone with Vol Up but then it's completely unlocked with no PIN entry. Putting in a PIN number disables the app.
Hopefully with CM7 I can have both going?
Yes, the volume wake is just that. It wakes up the phone, but doesn't unlock it. And I thought the same thing with it being too easy to turn on, but I've only ran into the issue a few times when it has turned on in my pocket, but the screen has a relatively short timeout before it turns off (I think it is 5 seconds), so it hasn't ever really been an issue.
But either way, it does have the volume wake (and not volume unlock).
