Weird button combos. - Motorola Droid 3

Anyone noticed if you mash keys you get the phone to do things? For example pressing on the keyboard R, T, and J at the same time acts as the standby button. I've noticed that there is also another button combo to increase/decrease volume and emulate the Menu key.
First off, why?
Second off, what are these other key combos?

Sleep Wake-up with every button

On my Tilt, EVERY BUTTON [except left, right, up, down, and select] will cause it to WAKE-UP from sleep mode.
How can I prevent this???
I would like just the OK button to wake up my device.
Thank you

I've never seen anything that allows this.. It's the four hard buttons (2 phone/win/ok) and power, or just the Power button.
It's in the Key Lock preference under System.
Personally I'd like it if I could do something like hit one of the four hard buttons and another button immediately after or it powers off. If I set it where all the hard buttons will turn it on I find it turned on every time I take it out of my horizontal pouch. But if it was set to some very simple key 'combination' it'd be easy to turn on myself (vs the tiny power button) but wouldn't stay on all the time in my pouch.
That is my point, either No buttons wake-up except the hard to get to power button or all buttons wake-up.
I there a registry hack that will allow the power button and one other button, maybe the OK button to wake the device up??

Change power button toa different one?

I was wondering if there was a way to re-map the power button to the OK button so when i want to turn on my x1 screen instead of pressing the power button i press the Ok button or maybe another button?
would this be possible? thanks,
Not sure about the re-mapping, but there's a setting under settings>system>key lock that lets you wake up the device by pressing any hardware key.
I need this too!
Have you tried with one of the several button/key mapping tools available?
Did you tried long pressing end call button? Mine locks screen...
Cheers!
Edit: Try AE Button Plus to map your keys.

[Q] power button broken

so my power button is gone on my htc touch with android. i need to poke the small button inside with a penpoint or small object.
is there a way to re-map the button or another way to turn the phone on from sleep?
My power button is working but I have same concern. Developers, why don't use D-pad key for home/back etc functions? power/camera buttons are very critical because without them you may even have difficulty to enter bootload mode.
Atools will let you remap the keys
Thanks!. I have created an update that set Vogue D-pad as:
Left: Back
Center: Home
Right: Menu
Working perfect on my SuperFroyo.

I've used Atools to remap wake up to other keys but, it only works if i press those keys after receiving a notification.
have you been successful in waking up the phone from sleep without having to press the power button? are there additional settings i need to change?
I also have the same problem - my power button stopped working this afternoon for some reason and I cant wake up my phone except by calling it from another line or restarting it - any idea how i can change the wake up key? from what i gather, the atools fix isn't working?
Exact. Same. Problem. Using Incubus RLS16 (no audio input either... grrr...)
I remapped the power button and it will turn on but only under these conditions:
Phone just went into sleep, after a few minutes no response.
If it's plugged in.
Which makes me wonder... are there two different sleep modes? ie: light sleep which lasts for a few minutes when unplugged, and a deep sleep which kicks in after that, or never, when plugged in.
I only need to wait a few more weeks for my upgrade, but I want to be productive now!
Anyone have a solution to the phone not waking up problem - Ive realized its not my power button..

[Q] HD7 Power Button

Been using HTC phones and we all know the power button is an important hardware.
I was thinking can we RE-ROUTE the power button to other buttons, since hitting just the power button makes me feel pain and seeing it flattened day by day...
for my previous touch pro i use registry to re-route succesfully. i wonder some geniuses here can do the same job.... please anybody
I would also be interested in this if at all possible.
Singularity0821 made a "restart phone app" : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1333740
...with right argue you could convince him to add a shut down option...
out of curiosity...why you guys restarting your phone in the first place? Last time i restarted my phone was almost 1.25 months ago. Then recently when the HTC update was pushed out. besides that..i havent really had the need to hit the power button. How often do you guys power cycle your phone and why? issues? habit? Just curious..
lol , yes we are the crazy maniac phone restarter
It's useful when you want to apply reg hacks...
Also power button is crucial to reach all usb profils...
and clearly my hd7 power button is getting weaker too http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359132
A restart app is one thing, which makes it a bit easier to not having to use the power button for that.
But I too am "suffering" from that power button issue and honestly.. you use the power button to not only restart the phone but also to wake it up and unlock it.
Now if the power button could be relocated (even if there has to be software for it) this would be really nice before my power button entirely dies!

totally right there. We had enough pain of this!!
Reroute to the volumes button n camera button,or maybe an app that can shake in a specific way to wake the phone.
Registry setting that can re-route the wake phone button?

[Q] Disable volume rocker keys?

I love the Note, but I hate the key layout. About half the time, when I wake it up with the power key, I press one of the volume keys as well. Can anyone think of a way to disable the volume keys?
Thanks,
Charlie
why not use the home button to wake the phone up?
Simple answer -- because I did not think of it
search for "volume lock" i am sure you will find something i am using "volume control +" btw... got it worked on my sensation and my bro's gNote
*Usually tapped from my toilet. Thanks HTC Sensation.*
