[Q] How wake up phone by capacitive buttons? - LG Optimus Black

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?

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

Dont you mean the hardkeys?!?!
"Softkey" implies software keys, And im sure you are referring to the hardware buttons? Hence "hardkey".
I too would like a way to keep them lit though, Sometimes I end up missing correct key in dark

Sorry. Yes I guess I did mean the "hard keys" - anyway its the search, return, home and menu keys.
As you are a senior member and have not yet found the answer then I guess there is not much chance of me getting it solved then eh?

tbh I've not actually got round to looking.
Anyone else then please to help with this problem?
Having the capacitative keys stay on would really help at night.
Having them stay off for reading would be even better. So irratating I put tape over them some nights.
Sent from my SCH-I800 using XDA App
Not an answer, but a data point showing this is possible...
The capacitive keys stay lit all the time (all being whenever the screen is on) on my VZW SGT. On my wifi only SGT, the capacitive keys shut off after a few seconds (have not timed it) and light back up if you touch the screen or one of the capacitive keys. I don't know if this is software and/or hardware related.
Pretty sure this is in the services.jar (ROM framework).

[Q] Gyro Sensor Calibration...?

Hello frns....

but in my X8 i didnt find any......
and while playing Racing Thunder...i find it difficult to adjust the car....
so is there any way through which i can adjust my X8 Gyro Sensor.....?

The X8 doesn't have a gyro sensor. Only accelerometer, proximity and compass.

perhaps I don't what you are saying
but while playing Raging Thunder I found gyro sensor option and can calibrate it by adjusting sensitivity.
And if you are saying about another thing then sorry I don't know..
If you are on stock, lock the screen, push power button but don't unlock. Press "back home back back home back home home back". That's the power menu, I think. Go to testing and then accelerometer. There are instructions on how to calibrate.
I don't know about the screen though. What do you want to calibrate?

There is no need to calibrate the capacitive touch screen,
Only applicable to resistive touch screen

Volume key unlock

hi, is there any app that allows me to unlock screen with volume key? I have killed on/off button yesterday night.
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.

Unresponsive touchscreen with FXP331 (CM11)

Hi all there
I have been having problems with the touchscreen becoming unresponsive after any blackout - intentional lock, screentimeout, wake from phone call.
It's a fresh install and apparently this is a common problem: code.google.com /p/freexperia/issues/detail?can=2&start=0&num=100&q=&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Milestone%20Owner%20Summary&groupby=&sort=&id=2410
I solved it by flashing the lightning kernel from the development forum.
Hope it helps somebody.

I think there might be a buck in FXP331 which prevents disabling of DTW? I couldnt disable it anyway but its disabled by default with lightning. Have had no problems or bugs at all with this setup, that I've found yet.

Apparently I'm still having a problem with this, even though dt2w is disabled for me. It only happens after a call.
During a call, my screen goes black. Nothing I can do wakes it up.
If the other person hangs up first, the screen returns to normal.
If the other person does not hang up (e.g. answer phone, etc.) the screen remains black and I must remove the battery.
This is problematic for me. Is anyone else experiencing similar?
For now, perhaps there is a way to remap a key - for instance the shutter button - to hang up the call? Unfortunately the apk 'button remapper' (lifehacker.com /5705224/buttonremapper-reassigns-your-android-phones-buttons) did not seem to have any way to select that key. Does anyone have any other ideas or solutions?

The relevant keys are 568 (soft press to focus) and 766 (long press to take picture). 766 is already set to WAKE the screen, and I just set 568 to do the same. I'm guessing it won't work though.
Hopefully someone else has had this problem and knows a solution...
