anyone know an app that can wake the phone by shaking it?
instead of using the home button, I want to shake the phone to wake it if it sense it is out of the pocket (light / proximity)?
thank you.
why would you want to wake by shaking??? what if youre walkign up/ down some stairs, that'd shake it enough to wake it most likely!
thats why I said proxmity and sense light
it would only work if is out of the pocket
i want this app !!!
i've been looking for an app that can do that as well, it's so much efficient to unlock the phone that way, than via sliding
HI
Flashed virtuous quattro rc3 on my incredible s and after a reboot, lost backlights on my softkey buttons. Look in forums but couln't find a solution.
I tried the gscript fix and a few apps for brightness control with no success.
Does anyone have a solution as I love the rom but find it inconvinient with buttons I can't see.
Thanks
Adjust the screen brightness and it should come back

Just adjust the brightness a little bit then they should come back. It will happen every now and again but I remember a new kernel helping the issue

Enable Auto-Brightness and they will stay on.
Thank you guys wokrs every time
Same thing happens to me! And it happens everytime i turn my screen off. And im sick of adjusting the backlight everytime and i hate auto adjustment.
What can i do?
no patch to fix??
Loving my HTC One, but I have such small hands that I can hardly reach the Power button to wake it up after it goes to sleep!
Does anyone know of an app where I can use the Volume button instead?
Thanks in advance.
Only way to possibly assign the sleep/wake function to the volume buttons would mean having to be rooted. I don't know if anyone's made that change yet though, it might just require editing a single file. Don't have any experience with This myself so not 100%. Just know it requires root.

After a quick search online I've discovered Auto Screen On in the Play Store, which lets me double tap the proximity sensor (left of top speaker) to wake it up.
Works perfectly but an app using the Volume button would be much better.
With this app your screen has to be awake all the time and will drain your battery i think.
On TrickDroid v2.0.0 u can choose VolWake in Aroma

Moved your thread to the proper section for you. Please remember to post only in the correct sections. Thanks.
I've heard of some app for a nexus 4 that allows you to just swipe the screen and it turns on. Not sure what it was called, but you get the concept.
Good job I have big hands really because this nor generally using the phone is an issue due to its size.

I'm assuming sweep2wake or swipe2wake will eventually be implemented. It's basically swiping left to right on the capacitive buttons to wake the phone.
The One X had it, but it was a bit buggy when I used it in terms of it not working if the phone was asleep for a long time. I got rid of my One X a while ago though so idk how the feature works now and if they figured it all out., but I expect it to get implemented on the HTC One eventually.
The proximity sensor isn't a bad idea, jailbroken iPhone 5 etc...have the always on proximity where if you cover the proximity it'll turn the screen off and eventually lock the phone after a while. So you can put it in your pocket and it will turn the display off, bring it out of pocket and it comes on without needing to slide to unlock or anything. It's good if your messaging constantly.

iirc showp1984 said he's getting a htc one, and see oz did too so hopefully one of them will bring sweep to wake Zarboz did an excellent job on the incredible s and he doesn't even have the device
Sweep to wake generally doesn't work sometimes in deep sleep. I use vol wake and the. Sweep to go to sleep on my incredible s now s2w is actually the greatest thing ever

Get multitouch visualizer from play store. the touchscreen is poor, especially with multitouch (only seems to support 2 touch points, the 2nd finger often is not detected, or causes the first to no longer be detected.) The caapacative buttons are hard to press sometimes, or do not respond. very annoying.
Enable the show touches option in the settings of the developer options, it works much better.

Probably need to disable the HTC Gesture option in Settings->Display. After that it'll recognize 10 touch points.

Just tried it with the HTC gestures turned off, multitouch visualizer 2 recognized 10 touches.
Indeed, turning HTC gestures off gives more touch points, but I still have the problem of the capacitative buttons not being as sensitive as the rest of the screen. They FREQUENTLY do not seem to register touches. Very annoying.

This seems to work for some people:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2231832
It should bring up the sensitivity for both the touchscreen and the capacitive keys which are, I presume, less sensitive than the touchscreen itself by design.
I'm not using any screen protector.
I tried the sense keyboard calibration and it had no effect.
The problem seems to be related to how FIRMLY I press the buttons. A light touch often does not register, but a firm touch always does. Never had this problem on my Evo 3D or Evo OG.
so this problem with capacitive home/back buttons is REALLY pissing me off.
went to sprint store, asked to see their display unit, told them the problem i had. guy said "I NOTICED THAT TOO". used their demo unit, EXACT same problem. Talked to some people on IRC who also noticed it.
*really* hope its software-fixable because I love the phone otherwise
I've used adb shell # getevents to see that FREQUENTLY tehre is just no event generated when pressing the home and back buttons. It *is* a hardware problem. I've never been so annoyed, displeased, or disappoined with a phone. I'll be returning it. Even tho the model I saw in the store had the exact same problem. If my next one has same problem I'll give the ol F**K YOU to HTC and not look back.
Also, havent found a way to get software keys on it...which MAY be an acceptable alternative to broken hardware buttons
I had noticed the same problem with a demo unit in one store and so went to check it out in another store where it was fine. I assumed it was specific to the first demo unit. I hope I get a decent phone.
Is anyone experiencing touches being registered slightly off from where you are actually touching the screen? I enabled show touches in dev options, just to make sure, and saw that touches were being registered just slightly lower than where the tip of my fingers were touching.

There is definitely something going on here with the capacitative buttons, as we all see.
However I'm going to give HTC a few weeks and see if they sort it out. Once enough complaints roll in they've got to do something right?

I just got my HTC One. I do not want to do anything that voids warranty for the next month or so...just in case a hardware fault shows itself.
The process of hitting the power button on the top of the phone and then unlocking via swiping from the bottom of the screen is a pain.
Is there a tried and tested way to skip one of these steps for HTC One stock sense?
I found this gravity app; https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.plexnor.gravityscreenofffree

On my S2 when I was still on Gingerbread I used 'No- lock'
and recommendations or compatibility issues? ie. Battery drain
Sense 5 had no screen lock option but removed from sense5.5
