I just noticed that by pressing the home button when the display is off, wakes up the device and turns the screen on.
I tried looking for an option to disable that but I could not find it. Is there such an option ?

It shouldn't wake screen unless you have a custom rom or kernel installed

tI use the standard device lock that comes with WM.
However, it goes back to Today screen everytime after lock.
Can anyone tell me how to stay at the original screen after lock?
Thanks
HTC's LongPressEndKey
go to Settings/System/HTC LongPressEndKey...
i don't know how you can make it stay at the original screen: since WM5, afaik locking has taken you back to the home screen
When I want to lock the device I just give a short press of the button on the top - that switched the device into sleep mode, the screen goes off and all the keys lock. To do that go into settings/keylock and then choose under "when device is off" "lock all buttons except power button".
One short press again on the top button then wakes it up and switches it on and it comes back to the screen you were last in when you switched it off.
Is that what you want?

It's not really locked is it? You turn the phone on and it works as normal. Similarly with the screen lock, you just push 'unlock' that appears on the screen and it works as normal. What I need is the device lock as found in settings. I just need it on an icon in my programs list would be good enough.

You can try StylusLockPro special designed for locking/unlocking while a running application is active.
is there any possible way to be able to touch the screen and return its from the timed out backlight insted of the power button then the actual unlocking....
Not sure about touching screen, but there's an app called NoLock that will make it so there's no lockscreen and hitting the power button unlocks it. Eats battery though.

Is there any way? Probably. Is it a good idea? Probably not. Just having the screen up to your thigh in your pocket would be enough to turn the screen on and thus drain your battery.
Not just drain your battery, but imagine calling people unexpectedly, random texting, somehow enabling options and selecting factory reset . There's a reason why there's a lock/unlock button.
Being a lefty, I wish you could turn the screen on using the volume buttons instead.

I can. Hold them for a second and the screen should turn on when you release them. If it doesn't let me know I'd like to investigate further.

Nope, not working. It turns it on using NoLock but then that just changes the volume too.
Im running Darkys 7 btw.

Holding the volume button does not turn on the screen, you probably touched the power button with you middle finger which holding the volume button with your thumb.
Widget Locker
Try the app WidgetLocker--it's a couple bucks but lets you turn on the screen with the volume buttons if you want (any hardware button). It will also let you customize your lockscreen with widgets and unlock the screen using the soft keys at the bottom if you so desire.
Mentioned this app in previous threads, should really start getting a cut from the developer.

You really should believe people when they say something works. Just because your rom works one way doesn't mean anything about everyone else.
Now if someone would give me a link to the roms which don't unlock due to the volume buttons, I might be able to fix that.
lmao love the music

I am not using a custom ROM. Maybe some custom ROM has that feature added but it definitely does not work on stock AT&T ROM.
Works on stock 2.2 Froyo leak ROM

That's not a stock ROM by any means.
I wish the volume buttons were lower on the case. I have a tendency to squeeze them with my finger when pressing the power button one-handed.

thank you

Same here but after 20clicks
GB not rooted
On my swipe lock screen, if i press the home button twice the voice recognition screen pops up and the phone is unlocked. Have you guys set that up on yours?
Yup its because of Vilingo. 2 clicks of the home button will unlock the screen and launch the app. Disabling it works I think....

i didn't for the moment, but the strange thing is that you can open Voice Talk app without unlocking the phone...
who have the Note without home button (SGH-i717) must unlock the screen first then from the home screen touch Applications > Voice Talk.
I could accept the double click on home only AFTER the screen has been unlocked

It is not a bug. It is a feature. If you press the home button twice the voice talk app is activated. This only happens if you haven't set up any screen lock such as pattern lock or pin lock.

Yes it is a feature. If you have not enabled any screen unlocking then pressing home button while phone is asleep wakes it up and takes you on the lock screen and now if you press home button twice it will open the "voice talk" app. This feature is built into the stock rom. Now if takes 20 or more presses before you get into the voice talk app then it means there is some problem with the home button or some other settings in your phone. I hope it explains.

my home button works perfectly...that's the situation now that i've upgrated to ICS: only 2 clicks.
on GB 2.3.6 (20-30 clicks), and other users had the same issue. This can't be a feature.
In my opinion the screen must be unlocked with a swipe/gesture/etc because i set THAT unlocking method, i didn't set "double click on home button" (this option not even exist)!!
If i want to open voice talk i can swipe and then double click on home button...
Anyway on GB i'm pretty sure that doesn't work very well or isn't a feature (maybe a bug).
it's not a bug
this happens when you've changed your rom, etc
your previous setting of lock screen stays, but you'll have to "reset" it again by going to the security settings. once you've reenabled the passcode/swipe, this will not happen again
I am running CM11 on my GT-I8190L.
Here is my question. Does "double tap to sleep" have the same effect as pressing the power button? IOW does the power button actually put the phone to sleep, or does it just turn off the screen?
Thanks

Its behaviour (should) pretty much reduce the use of the power button. Depending on the kernel and configuration, it might or might not (deep sleep as an addition), but by default it should.
Is it possible to have the power button behaviour modified so that it only turns the screen off? I'm hoping there's a utility or setting somewhere.
When the phone is in my pocket it constantly turns itself on and starts tapping away. It never gets past the lockscreen but it's annoying to have battery drained like this.

Are you sure it is the power button and not rather the tap to wake that is activating it in your pocket? (Settings->Display->Tap to wake up)

I had the exact same problem. Tried the following things:
1) Changed the locker - used Nils Locker Master - worked well, but it stopped working with recent 5.0.2 update.
2) Used PIN lock - too inconvenient, and even then the emergency call button would get 'tapped' accidentally while in my pocket
3) Currently using a nice cover which raises the edges around the power button slightly, so it doesn't get pressed automatically anymore when in my pocket.

Thanks but it has been happening for a long time before I enabled tap to wake so that's not it.

Do you have a link for "Nils Locker Master"?
ATM I have pin lock and that's fine.
I prefer not to have any sort of cover/case.
