Sometimes de camera button is unintentionally pressed in my pocket. I dont like to disable it. Does anybody know if the camera stays on until the battery is depleted or is there a auto shutoff after a while.
I just tried turning the camera on with the button then just leaving it. It reverted back to homescreen after a minute or so, then my normal display timeout applied.
How do you disable the camera button on the side of the phone??

I can't imagine that you can change such things without root.

If you activate the camera from off (locked state) the phone will just return to the lockscreen after a short period. So no harm.

Are you sure it is the camera button that is pressed and not tap2wake + tap on the camera icon on the lockscreen?
The reason why I'm asking is that for me I have to press quite hard on the camera button in order to trigger the camera, but it only takes three gentle taps on the bottom of the screen to start the camera.

I use a thight pouch case and thought it pushes the button but tap2wake might be the cause. I will try without to see if the camera stays off. Thanks.

You can disable it in camera settings inside the camera app

As the above poster said, open camera app, go into settings, and turn quick launch off, this disables the physical button on the side, and removes the camera button icon from the lock-screen.
Hope this helps.
Yeah i tried that.
But then AS you said the camera shortcut dissappears... And i use it quite often thats why i asked for a similar solution.... Without dissappearing shortcuts..
Thank you

since the center button on the dpad is heat sensitive, I think it would be great if it was possible to turn it on by touching it, or by doing a circle gesture, like zooming in opera.. I really hate the top button, It keeps turning on my phone in my pocket, and I dont like to lock my phone.. also, when in hand, its difficult to press....
I hope this idea could be made into reality...
Just being able to wakeup the phone using anything other than the top button or stylus would be great!
I swear that top button is going to wear out! It doesn't have as much push in it as any other button on the phone..
My diamond wakes up on hitting the center button.. or any of the hardware buttons.
the stylus wake is cool too, but not always feasible.
Start - Settings - System
Key Lock
When device is off:
I selected DO NOT LOCK BUTTONS
Works fine for me

Happy to help
Sweet! Now I use any keypad buttons to turn on, and use G-sen to turn off by facing the phone downwards.
No more using the top button. True for me too.. the button seems to have been submerged more..
well, enabeling all the hardware buttons doesnt help much either, since they can be easily pushed in our pockets... still waiting for some of our awsome developers to come by, and figure something out with the center button, a gesture would be really cool, because I would have to worry about locking my phone
Sushilange, I believe is working on the shake application..
one of the most requested by the users (including myself) being shake to wake
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406921&highlight=released
lol.. shake to wake seems like a nice feature, but you dont think it will turn on in your pocket? even cooler would be if it could turn on with the light sensor, so you could just take it out of your pocket and it would be on but this wouldnt work in the dark
Edit: I am glad there is a lot of interest on this topic...
I am still hopeful about Shake to Wake
Don't think it would be turning on in the pocket.. unless you are running..
but anyways.. beats pressing the power button.. any day!
hm, I can agree that turning a phone on with a center button gesture would be the most stylish way, shaking a phone is just stupid.
How do you set up gsen to shut off the phone by facing it downwards???

FYI, it’s not heat sensitive, it’s capacitive. Although heat could also change the capacitance and still register as a touch!
Ha! When I bought it I would touch (not press) the centre button and it would wake up. I installed Bepe's ROM right away, and this functionality was lost - I then thought that it was just my idea in the first place!
Now I read the above posts and it seems that indeed you should be able to wake th device up by *touching* the centre button - how do I enable it back? And yes, "no lock" is enabled in Power Key Lock settings...
but if i want to block all buttons except central one?
The first thing i noticed from moving to the Droid 3 from my previous phone (Nokia N900), is that it doesn't unlock the screen when sliding the keyboard open.
So when i slide open my keyboard, i still have to do the 'slide to unlock' manually. This is not very natural to me, but if that's what Motorola decided, what can i do about it?
Is there some sort of tweak or mod possible for this, or is this something that cannot be changed? When i googled it, most topics are bout the Milestone series phones (this is the only qwerty android phone that behaves like this?). They suggested the software signal for 'slide keyboard open' is the same as 'press the screen on button', so if you want to disable the unlock menu here, it has to be disabled altogether.
Is this true?
I also come from a N900, I found the exact same thing frustrating, there is an app which disables lock-screens all together so you can also immediately unlock by pressing the power button.
App called "No Lock"
It does seem the case, yes, however there is an app which only turns lock screens off when the front proximity sensor is clear, so theoretically it shouldn't power button unlock when it is in your pocket - this is a paid app with a trial version.
App called "Auto Unlock"
If you're willing to pay for an app, check out widget locker on sale at Amazon. It has that option as well as some nifty extra features. I'm at the point now where my phone is more useful locked than unlocked lol
Sent from my DROID3 using xda premium
I don't think the keyboard opening sends the same signal as the power button.
When you press the power button the lock screen comes on in portrait regardless of how you are holding the phone. When you open the keyboard the lock screen comes on in landscape. So the phone knows the difference between the two.
BUMP
Is there any free app that will do this?
I'd like it to unlock when sliding open and to lock when i close it... but still be able to lock/unlock with the power button when I'm not using the keyboard
Thanks

I had an n900 too previously, but also an Xperia Mini pro and a desire Z, only the Motorola phones are showing that stupid behavior.
BTW as I wrote elsewhere, widgetlocker can fix this, but is not free.

I can't believe there's not a simple free app that fixes it. I don't mind spending €1,50 but I'd rather not
Can you keep the stock unlocker with widgetlocker?
how does widget locker fix this? i have it but dont see anyway to unlock the screen by opening the keyboard.

I just bought it and enabled "slide to unlock" but it doesn't work
I restarted my phone and it works 1 in 10 times.. and when it does work there's a 2 seconds delay..(edit make that 5 seconds this is with the screen off)
I even root mode and tried disable the default lock screen.
I think I just wasted €1.50
You must have some conflicting SW, I'm using it on the D3 and the D2g and works perfectly, used it on the Desire Z and worked perfectly too.
And consider that I have heavily customized it with 6 sliders to access directly the main functions w/o unlocking the phone.

I haven't installed any other locking software!
It works fine if I first click button so the screen goes on, then slide-out.
However when I slide from screen-off it takes 5 seconds for the screen to go on. (btw sometimes it does go instantly, but this is rare)
It takes a longer time only if you close and reopen it quickly.
Try to close the phone, wait five or six seconds and then open it.
That limit is described well on the SW instructions, and theres also a 5 seconds fix on the options (I havent tried it)

Yes but root option should fix it but it does not.
Why the hell would anyone use the slider option if it takes 5 seconds to show the screen? I wanted this program so that I don't have to press a button before unlocking... now I still have to do that
Waiting some time then opening it doesn't help

Why in the hell, in the normal usage, one would open the slider in less than 5 second after closing it ?

What? where did I say I did this?
When I get my phone out of my pocket (screen is off) and I open my keyboard, it takes 5 seconds for something to happen.

I said that. If you close and reopen the phone quickly you can expect a delay, but not in normal condition.
I've just tested it with the verizon rom (I flashed it back to test the cyanogen), and while slower than the xt883 (all the rom is slower) surely doesn't take 5 seconds to unlock the screen.
I have to hit the camera button 2-3 times in order to start the app. It doesn' t matter whether the screen is turned on or off. But it works nicely and sensitive as soon as the camera app is running so I hope it's somehow software related.
Anyone else experiencing this?

It is working just fine for me. You have to consider the camera button has two pressure points. One usually to focus and a harder one to shoot. The first pressure point will not trigger the app.
I'm well aware of this and it really works perfectly in app. Maybe I'm simply to impatient when I quickly want to take a pic...
To open camera app you need to hold that button...

Right, it takes about 0.5 seconds...
It's also a vast improvement over the Z1C button, which was way too stiff and using it often caused camera shake for me because you had to press so hard. The Z3C has found just the right balance between sensitivity and 'clickability' without it triggering asccidentally all the time, IMHO. It's now actually easier to use the button than the on-screen one in most situations.
On the M8 if you press the volume buttons while the phone is horizontal the camera is enabled.
The problem I have it the cradle that I use to carry the phone always has the phone in a horizontal mode and if my belt or something happens to hit the volume buttons the camera is turned on. I notice the phone getting hot when the camera is on for a long time.
Is there a way to stop this? I looked in the settings and thats where I saw the function to turn on the camera with the volume buttons when the phone is horizontal but I can't find anything to disable this.
M8 still unrooted and bootloader is locked. I will be getting around to those things shortly.
Anyone?

Settings --> Display & gestures --> Motion Launch gestures --> Turn them off. You can't edit what volume buttons do as far as I know, so just turn the motion gestures off. It saves battery a good bit with them off anyways. If you root, there may be a way to change just a specific gesture, but I'm not sure about stock.

I will give it a try. I did not want to completely remove the gestures but it would make my battery last longer without having the camera turn on when not intended.

Already,,, no use.
Now safe mode tried and no screen wakeup.
It means some third party app issue.
I'm trying to figure out which app exactly.
I had this with my wife's phone.... Screen literally cam on everytime the phone was moved.... She has a flip case, which i assumed was the culprit, and i could see the screen pop on even if she moved the phone to one side a little...
I found the answer to our solution in the settings somewhere under advanced features/motion and gestures.... Untick all that lift to wake crap!
Screen stays off now until you press power button or double tap screen...

I tried the same already but problem was still there.
Since once I reboot into safe mode, there w no issue. then started apps one by one in normal mode,,,, now not facing issue. I suspect one or two third party apps. Still not finalised which app exactly as these apps got updated meanwhile.
Any way thanks,,,,
my issue already resolved.
