lol alright
pressing the power button on the side?
Surely it's not a good idea to wake your kaiser up by touching the screen? As soon as you put it in your pocket it'll wake up again? That's why companies make it slightly more complex to unlock the phone...
Hi fellas.
The power button of my diamond has submerged slightly, and I'm trying to use it less frequently.
I turn off my device now using G-sen and flipping it down. As for turning it back on, I have to use the power button. I've also selected "Do not lock buttons" under keylock settings. It works great, l but I only want to use the action button to wake up the device.
Other than the "lock all buttons except power button", is there a way I can "lock all butons except the power/action button" ?
Thanks!
Help.... Anyone?
yes i want to find out too!... it will be so useful if thats possible
Turn off the phone by turning it face down.
Turn on - by taking the pen out.
So you don't use the power button...

Nice one, bro...
But I hardly use the stylus...
Anyone?
You don't need to lock any buttons. If all you want is not to press any buttons accidentally in your pocket, just install Slide to Unlock (S2U2) and don't lock any buttons. That way, you can wake the phone up by any button and slide your finger on the screen to wake the device up.

Yea, I knew this would pop up.
S2U2 gives an extra step, which I don't want.
Just want to use the action button to wake the device. Thats all.
Hi All,
We all known there will be a day that one of the buttons will stop working because it is mechanic. Is there any tool that put all these buttons as touchscreen buttons in the "Taskbar" ?

I am looking for some way to quickly i.e. with button presses, change my phone to landscape and turn the speakerphone on. What utility should I use for this?

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.
