Thanks

Your title contradicts itself. You want to tap your phone to wake it.. But also like pressing the power button? Did you mean you "don't" like pressing the power button?
Tap to wake exists but it has to be baked into the kernel and it's really useless (imo).
The `feature' works by basically keeping the screen in a powered state.. Kernels that support this feature (which is becoming less and less and less) usually set it on a 15-45 second timer... You have X amount of time after putting your phone to sleep that touch to wake will work.. After that time elapses your screen is fully powered off and touch to wake will no longer work. If this feature existed 24/7 you'd be going through batteries like crazy.
Hum ok dude thx for that answer, I want this function but il like more battery life...
Do you know any app waking the screen by capting motion with the camera? Or using any other sensors available on the nexus for doing so?

tbh not sure. I imagine someone could use the proximity sensor (which I don't think the N7 even has) but using that would cause so many false wakes by sliding it in and out of cases, etc it would also be useless.
Your only solution with the N7 is wearing a magnetic glove and waving your hand across the bottom left of the unit. :laugh:
Yeah or by implementing a magnet on one of my finger... I don't find the accès to the power button very easy thought

That's not necessarily so. PGM on the Nexus doesn't appear to work like that at all, though since it's proprietary, we don't know exactly how it works. It certainly doesn't chew up any more juice on my Gnex, nor does it cause wakelocks.
showp1984 is working on something similar for his N7 bricked kernel.

Gotcha, if that is your problem you could always use a ROM that has volume wake.. AOKP does for sure, CM10 does I believe (someone confirm) and probably others.. Enabling it will let you wake the phone using the power button or the volume rocker.. This will obviously will interfere with anything allowing you to use the volume rocker to advanced to the next song etc while the phone is asleep. This way you basically have 3 buttons to wake up the phone instead of finding `the one'.

Interesting. Learn something new every day. :good: I stand corrected
I would also like a slide to wake. Having it on my galaxy Nexus means I try it on my 7 about once a day.

Hello,
today l recieved the Desire HD, l'm the happiest man alive
l have an idea. Is there an app, which can wake up the phone from standby using the accelerometer? l mean, when the phone is on a table and it is in standby, when l grab it and move it to wake it? l would like such app, because the power button is not really comfortable. Аnd when you put it manually in standby (push the power button) to be able to wake it only with another push (as when in the pocket the phone will be always on).
Thanks!
+1 good idea, i wonder if there's anything out there..

+1 REALLY Good idea!
1 thing missing. The app should use the proximity sensor. I don't want it to wake whilst in my pocket

That's why l suggested when you turn the standby with the power button, to be able to wake it only with the power button. Then when you walk, it will not turn on when in your pocket.
i have the offical HTC S550 slip case which completely covers the phone.
i would like an application that unlocks the phone when the proximity sensor does not detect the case and/or the light sensor senses an increase in light.
accelerometer support could be added for when the phone is held with the screen pointing your face (user calibrate-able) for people who do not have a front covering case.
im currently using no lock but i still have to press buttons to turn the screen on whereas my girlfriend who has an old blackberry just takes it out of its slip case and the screen lights up.
would be willing to donate money to whoever produces a free app to do this that is bug free and maintained.
Not easily done. Imagine if it is dark and also an app like that it would eat your battery as the prox sensor is continuously checking for light

I had software on my DHD wich showed me the power usage for the onboard devices. And the proximity sensor used the least power, it showed using 2~3mAh. So its not a big battery hog.
I will post later, if i rememeber the software

I saw that in some roms on various devices like Galaxy Mini, and I would like to ask you are there any way to have it on MiniCM9?
What's the point? You already have buttons and they will only take up screen space. It will just make the screen look smaller.
Dunno why, but i like them. Plus I tried them on my friend's galaxy mini and they looked cool and they would be pretty useful for me because my hardware buttons were crappy.
It is impossible to actually add new software buttons to the phone but this app might do thhe trick for ya https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smart.swkey
Thank me if i helped

That is because the hardware is compatible and the screen to. Our screen is just not abld to do that (correct me if im wrong)

It is possible. Its like a software or app. Any phone could have this with ICS even like hmm. hTC Tattoo. The screen does need something special to have them

Our hardware is not capable but the Galaxy MINI's hardware is capable? Its strange if its true... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xe1oesBIDm4&feature=related
I think its totally useless because of our phones screen size. Thoose buttons would took too much space. If your hardware buttons are broken use Button savior from market.
They would look cool, but they're pretty useless for our device!
OK I have a modded Verizon galaxy nexus with 4.0.4,in tab mode. Every thing is customized ,except one thing....with that said, I bring you to my question. Can you make a call button for the navigation menu,. My reason for that is there are two menus one on screen and the other on the navigation bar.a standard call button on that bar would make more space thus elements the on screen menu bar altogether. CAN U DO IT. send answers to [email protected] thanks.

What are you talking about? These are the X8 forums.

Has anyone else experienced crashing lately on this phone? Im using the APEX launcher, but occasionally the screen will just drop to black (backlit) and not respond to any key presses, except vibrate on a key hold. 20 seconds later after all key presses screens back on responding to the key mashes.
Ive also seen a few restarts lately, usually using google maps. Next time it happens I might see if I can catch the logs.
(Wish I had cyanogen again)
nope, been flawless so far, not frozen or re-booted, had a couple of apps crash, bout it!

Probably some apps that look for your location, to share or for better service, like weather, google, etc...
Check the settings.
I have some crashes with some widgets. Clear your home screen from every non stock widget and make the test.
Still trying to figure out how to use any widget without entire phone crashes.

From both of your reason, i can see maybe its from the phone gets overheated...it is possible as same like my previous phone, while using maps, i already noticed the back case seems soo hot then it just restarted...as you already know O4X having the heat issue...
Also it can be from that your system is too overloaded and cant find anymore free room to free up the memory...and overheated at tje same time....
Its just my opinion

Nice username.
Yeah, the One has a very stiff button, so you're going to get almost no tactile feedback when you press it. That's how it's supposed to be. If you don't like it though, there are several mods floating around this forum on ways you can raise its profile (like painting on clear nail polish).
Or just bypass it almost completely and use the modified kernels for slide to wake or double tap to wake. There's also a few other long press options too. At least that way you only use then power button to turn on and off the phone.
There also appear to be options for turning screen off through the eqs, although I haven't been able to get those to work for me. Sweep2wake/sweep2sleep is awesome. Also a great little show off for your non rooted friends!
