Turn on touch diamond by "Touching" the center button on d-pad

since the center button on the dpad is heat sensitive, I think it would be great if it was possible to turn it on by touching it, or by doing a circle gesture, like zooming in opera.. I really hate the top button, It keeps turning on my phone in my pocket, and I dont like to lock my phone.. also, when in hand, its difficult to press....
I hope this idea could be made into reality...

Just being able to wakeup the phone using anything other than the top button or stylus would be great!
I swear that top button is going to wear out! It doesn't have as much push in it as any other button on the phone..

My diamond wakes up on hitting the center button.. or any of the hardware buttons.
the stylus wake is cool too, but not always feasible.
Start - Settings - System
Key Lock
When device is off:
I selected DO NOT LOCK BUTTONS
Works fine for me

thnx that was i looking 4

Happy to help

Sweet! Now I use any keypad buttons to turn on, and use G-sen to turn off by facing the phone downwards.
No more using the top button. True for me too.. the button seems to have been submerged more..

well, enabeling all the hardware buttons doesnt help much either, since they can be easily pushed in our pockets... still waiting for some of our awsome developers to come by, and figure something out with the center button, a gesture would be really cool, because I would have to worry about locking my phone

Sushilange, I believe is working on the shake application..
one of the most requested by the users (including myself) being shake to wake
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406921&highlight=released

lol.. shake to wake seems like a nice feature, but you dont think it will turn on in your pocket? even cooler would be if it could turn on with the light sensor, so you could just take it out of your pocket and it would be on but this wouldnt work in the dark
Edit: I am glad there is a lot of interest on this topic...

I am still hopeful about Shake to Wake
Don't think it would be turning on in the pocket.. unless you are running..
but anyways.. beats pressing the power button.. any day!

hm, I can agree that turning a phone on with a center button gesture would be the most stylish way, shaking a phone is just stupid.

How do you set up gsen to shut off the phone by facing it downwards???

FYI, it’s not heat sensitive, it’s capacitive. Although heat could also change the capacitance and still register as a touch!

Ha! When I bought it I would touch (not press) the centre button and it would wake up. I installed Bepe's ROM right away, and this functionality was lost - I then thought that it was just my idea in the first place!
Now I read the above posts and it seems that indeed you should be able to wake th device up by *touching* the centre button - how do I enable it back? And yes, "no lock" is enabled in Power Key Lock settings...

but if i want to block all buttons except central one?

[Q] Digitizer Not Working!!!

Ok so i took apart my N1 to clean the notorious dust from under the screen and wiped down the amoled screen and the back of the touch screen, seems to be going good...... well when i put it back together and turn it on (it turns on ok and display works) the touch screen dont work anymore, the light sensor does work and the soft keys work, and the track ball works just not the touch screen!! I did a clean install of cm6.1 to see if that would do the trick but no luck. im pretty sure i might have rubbed the tiiiiiny grid of wires under the digitizer the wrong way and broke some of them apart cause the light sensor and proximity sensor still work. Ok my question is how do i get past the set up screen and go straight to the home screen with no touch screen and only a track ball??? I can set it up to where i can trackball to wake instead of needing the swipe screen to wake?? Please tell me how i can bypass the set up screen, Thank you.

You can always get a new digitizer from here...http://www.htcrepairparts.com/htc-nexus-one-htc-passion-c-129_677.html?language=en

I have already replaced the digitizer before and dont wanna go through that again. I just wanna bypass the setup screen and be able to use the trackball as a temporary solution till i get a new phone.

Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA App

Update: i have tried anyunlock, widgetlocker, button remapper non is working for me.
Update2:
I managed to swap volume up with power button, but it isnt working example:
It acts as power button. turns off and lock screen but when i press it again it doesnt wake the phone, only does when i press it imediately after locking.

try Go Locker .....u can find it on the market

Hey,
It seems we're out of luck if this guy is right:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21652366&postcount=7
so basically it's a hardware issue - volume key presses don't register when the phone is in deep sleep. And if the phone doesn't go to deep sleep, it kills the battery pretty quickly.

Are you on CM (e.g. CM7)? If so then you have this feature "for free" - it's one of the options in the CyanogenMod Settings in the menu. One drawback is that this will not work if you have the music widget enabled on the lock screen.
EDITED: hmm, unless you meant not "awaking" the phone but just fully unlocking it, i.e. going directly e.g. to the main screen. In such case - I have not found such thing in CM7 (to some extent you can overcome this with gestures but that's still equivalent to moving the the slider or whatever in fact). Generally: is the lock screen really needed? Is there a way to get rid of the lock screen altogether?

Thanks for replies.
So it seems that about deep sleep is true. But i have set mix freq to 500 even 800 with no luck.
Yes i was on cm7. It was working just like for 5 secs or so after locking.
Is this tegra specific or LG?
Edit: wakelock app from the market works for me. It prevents phone from deep sleep.

Is it safe to always turn proximal sensor on for activate screen on with tap tap app. May proximal sensor got will short life than it should.

keep your music playing, and set your frequencies to 215mhz - 314mhz.
its what i sued to do, since my power butter was destroyed

it works until phone enters deep sleep, everything is off except power button.

If this deep sleep thing is correct, then there's no way of making the phone unlock without the power button? no matter what application you use for unlocking it? My phone is new and I don't want my physical buttons to wear out =/

The risk is clearly near zero, my phone if one year old and I have no problem.
You have an app to change buttons mapping, it can be useful if your button is dead, but less clear when all are functional. Try to search 'button mapping' in market I don't remember the name.

[Q] How wake up phone by capacitive buttons?

How can I get to wake up phone by capacitive buttons? I mapped "search" key to "power' in keylayout => it can turn off screen, but can't wake up. What can I do?
In theory there are hardware buttons, so is limited by software. How to disable that?

Well, the softkeys aren't actually "hardware-buttons" like VolUp/Down and GKey, i think. For me it would be very surprisingly if it works. I doubt it.
Waking up the phone bye proximity sensor (responsible for making the screen dimmed when phoning) would be very nice, in case od the phone just lies on the table and you want to do sth quickly.
Unfortunatly i didn't find an app or sth similar which can do this.
Any suggestions?
EDIT: I found an apps called "tap tap app".. doesn't work properly on cm nightly 70 though..

I now that - Pocket Sensor =) It work on CM, tested on P970 & P500. I don't used it because i want to wake up phone manually)

I think it also related with the driver at kernel stage... so the Vol Up/Down and G-Key are supposed to be mapped at the driver.. But I don't know about capacitive buttons, perhaps it can also remapped..

Read thread about remapping g button. There are at least two.

Hi guys, I know this is an old topic but I am looking for same solution that I know works because I have been using this method on my Galaxy S2 (t989) with HellKat rom.
With Hellkat rom installed on a Galaxy S2 (t989) aka Hercules, you can touch all capacitive buttons in one particular order only which is from left to right.
You first touch the options button then home, back and search button. As soon as search button is pressed the device wakes up.
I am now running Lollypop and am wondering if this was a function possible through an app?

[Q] Disabling back lit soft keys on screen touch

Yesterday i was looking for some app to notify me via LED about missed calls/other messages. Installed an app (don't remember app name) from Play store and immediately i observe that soft keys lit every time i touch the screen. It's very annoying. Problem remains same after uninstalling the app and today i flashed to V_10H but problem still exists.
Help me to resolve the problem also recommend any good app to notify the missed calls/messages.
Thanks

When the screen is on this is normal, but it happens when the screen is off also I think?
Just a guess, but try this:
Go to the soft key settings, set it to always on.
Then set your screen brightness on automatic.
Reboot and put the settings back to what you had first.
Reboot.
This helped with soft key light problems in V10F.

Thanks for response. I followed your steps..problem still exists.
This happens only when screen is on. I don't think its normal to lit soft keys when ever i touch main screen. I haven't noticed this until i installed app.
If it lit's up whenever i touch the screen doesn't it affect when i play games/seek video?

It's always been like this for my phone.. When the screen is on, and the soft key lights are out, if I then touch the screen again they light up.
You can either disable the soft key lights or enable them to light up constantly, like I do now.

I don't have apps that control screen light. I tired playing games like Bubble Words and light turns on every time when i touch screen. So i set lights to off always.
When the phone was new, i was on V_10e and i didn't have this problem. I installed some stupid app and it changed everything. I have upgraded to 10H but still problem exists and no way to prove that it worked earlier.
I don't get the logic behind lights on when i touch main screen.
Thanks
