[Q] Modify Power Button Behaviour

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.

[Q] Double press home button to lock?

Hi
I like my nexus 6 but I don't know how much crack they had smoked by the time they had to decide where to place the buttons.
The buttons are not only all beside each other so you're always pressing the wrong ones, but they are dead center of the side of the phone so every time I pick it up I lock it by pressing the power accidentally. It also does not help that this phone looks the same upright as it does upside down, so you never even know which side to expect the buttons on.
Anyway. Is there a hack/app that would let me change the behavior of the power button? I want to change the phone to lock/standby on a double power button click. I wouldn't even mind a double click to wake! I do not want a double tap to lock. I don't want to rely on tapping on my screen.
Thanks for any help. I've tried popping the power button off my case which is great, but I hate relying on the phone to timeout before going to sleep. I'm not looking for a solution like that.

With alternative launchers (eg Nova) you can assign gestures to homescreen or swipe up on dock icons...

In addition to using a different launchers, you could use something like Screen off and Lock which allows you to replace Google Now in your navring (swipe up from your navigation bar) to be a screen off option.
Neither are exactly what you are looking for, but it is the closest you will get without root and/or a custom ROM. With that you have more options, there are double tap navbar and statusbar to sleep options available. I would imagine Xposed would have some options as well.

Hey guys sorry for the late reply.
I actually do use the nova launcher and its pretty sweet. The issue is not to add more gestures to sleep the screen. The issue is that the power button is so easy to click by mistake. I was hoping for a double tap the power to lock or something to prevent it from locking so easily. I usually press it once by mistake when picking it up..but I doubt I will accidentally pick it up and click it twice consecutively...and if I do, well im sure it wont happen too often.
I have root I am willing to try just about anything so if someone knows of a custom rom that could offer this then that would be sweet. I saw someone mentioned it above. Interested!
Thanks again for all your help

Try Invisible Lock Widget. Works a treat every time. I've used it for years and not once has it not responded.

How to disable the Home button Press feature to avoid unexpected wake from sleepmode

Hi there,
My Home button press function (mechanical) having some bad contacts and every minutes my phone xiaomi mi5 awakes from sleep mode, lowering my battery life.
Today it s even worse, it closes the app i using for returning to the home screen.
I wish to find a way to completely disable the press home button mechanical function, the fingerprint recon is ok, and the touch home button too.
I hope some of you will find a way to resolve my issue.
Thx.

same problem since last 2 months
if anyone can suggest some solution, it would be really helpful.

flash RR.Enable software keys and disable hardware keys on customization menu on settings

The problem resolved by itself, it must been some moisture that was stuck in it.
About weeks later it s now so fully functional.

Way to prevent accidental screenshot?

9 out of 10 screenshots I take are by accident when I'm trying to press the power button to turn the screen off. With the volume buttons opposite the power button, it's too easy to press them. Is there a way to change how a screenshot is taken?

Enable the swipe gesture in advance features

That's already on, but the other way I'm talking about is still active.

Hold you phone differently, unless your hands are so monstrous that preventing your fingers from pressing the volume button is impossible.

Thanks for the Apple-grade suggestion like I've got bad reception on my iPhone. lol
Holding the phone as usual in my right hand, it's not typically a problem. But frequently if it's in my left or I do a quick reach with either to turn the screen on and view notifications and turn it back off, I end up with an accidental screenshot. If I could make it require a momentary hold of the buttons before it takes a screenshot, it would do the trick.

You could try installing a Bixby button remapper. Many of them allow you to set different functions to your hardware/mechanical buttons & or set delays of different intervals while keeping the current buttons doing the usual stock actions. If you are rooted you only need to install once. If you are stock UnRooted you need to run adb commands every time you turn off or reboot but this is the only option I can think of that will do what you need done. Bxactions is one app and another is button Mapper. Cheers & hope this helps you out.

One bug so far with my device...power button

So recieved the device this morning, everything all good coming from a X2 Pro, however one weird issue I currently have (am on latest firmware) is that the holding the power button does nothing regardless of how long I hold it for, so I can't turn it off or restart. Double tapping it works fine and pressing once to unlock etc, so it's not a hardware issue, is anyone else having this? Firmware is CPH2305_11_A.16

Welcome to android 12 --- volume up + power (2s hold) = the new power button .... don't ask... google did it!

I'm guessing Google think people don't switch their phones off.
Very annoying

Actually this is OPPO's fault.
On Pixel 6 Pro "power key to launch assistant" can be disabled and then power menu is back when you long-press power key.
On Find X5, the option just disables assistant launch and no option to restore power menu...

That's so annoying and unnecessary. I'm also struggling to find a vibrate only mode. I can't believe a 1075 quid handset can't do the basics.

There is...
In the notification quick access it's the bell. That turns on silent mode. If you long press to go into the options one of the tick boxes is to vibrate on silent mode. So that's your vibrate only. Once it's set you can literally just then use the bell quick button to go between ring and vibrate

Thanks. That's helpful. Is it possible to pull this onto the home screen as a toggle rather than swipe down each time from to access?
Cheers
