Even after removing the AOD home button under Settings/Lock screen/Always On Display you can still hit the home button location to turn the screen on. Is there a way to disable this home button location all together on the lock screen? I find myself gripping the phone around this location while not using it and the screen keeps turning on.
Under Settings - Display - Navigation Bar. Turn off the "Hard Press Home Button" option.
Search "Hard press home button" in settings and turn it off. You can also adjust the sensitivity. I actually find it useful but even on the strongest setting, I frequently press it accidentally.
Awesome thanks!

Hi,
Now i have to ask, because i can't find my self. Is there any app to Touch Pro what would disable all connections when i press power button? When im not using phone, i always press power button so screen goes black and it won't use unnecessary power. It would be very good, if same time all data connections, bluetooth etc. would be disabled.
That would be handy. I'd use it! But until we find it you could do what I do.
Set the long-press button to toggle Airplane Mode. To turn off the phone you hold down the hang-up key to kill the radios and then use the power button to black the screen. To turn on you'd use the power button and then hold down the hangup to turn all the radios back on. It's an extra step and takes an extra 5 seconds but it works.
You can also have the long-press pop up an option menu.
Just a thought.
My phone tends to turn off in my pocket due to the power button being held and then, somehow, the "turn off" on the screen clicked. Is there any way to make screen lock lock the physical buttons as well? So that clicking the power button turns the screen on like it does now but holding it doesn't make the window prompt. From what I see, there's no such option in the android itself so some app maybe?
our phone have only one physical lock button but you can use some application for lock the screen by tap the application's icon such as "screen off and lock" or "lock widget"
and you can unlock by home button also.
Oh, but what I meant was not that I want to lock/unlock without using the physical lock/power button. I'd like it to sustain its funcionality apart from the "hold" action when the screen is locked. It shouldn't open the window with flight mode/turn off etc. when the phone is locked. Do the mentioned above apps let me do this?
So there's no way to change the function of the power button?
The above applications can only lock your phone by tapping the screen, but to unlock without using the power button...mabye a developer can help you so he will make a lock application wich ignores the power button when the phone is locked and you could unlock it by pushing the home button(wich is harder to pres by mistake in your pocket).
Anyway, it could be a good application for Market, I dont think that you are the only person that has this problem.
For null ROM users that have the home button remap mod enabled (allowing you to manually turn off the screen with the power button when using 3rd party launchers), there is a documented issue where it can be difficult to wake the gear back up when in an active call.
Pressing the power button usually results in the screen flashing on and turning right back off. Sometimes you need to double tap the button or time the presses just right to get the screen to turn on and stick.
Fortunately, I stumbled upon a solution to this........this assumes you are already using Xposed.
1) Download the "Xposed Additions" module
2) Activate the module and reboot your gear for it to take effect
3) Go into Xposed Additions -> Buttons -> Add new Key and then press the power button at the prompt.
3) Select the power key option that should now appear in the list and add a new condition for "Screen off"
4) Set the "Long press action" for "End Call".
NOTE: Long pressing the power button while in a call does not actually work. BUT you will notice that you can now reliable press the power button (just once) in order to succesfully wake the gear back up from the in-call screen.
I have noticed no other adverse effects after making this change but have only been testing it for about a day.
I'm looking for a way to disable my Mi5 to wakeup with pressing the Home button. I noticed that when I have the phone in a thight pocket, the home key is accidentally pressed en the phone wakes up. Many thanks!
Settings -> Buttons -> Home button.
Rathen than try disable unlock by home button, you can try Prevent pocket dials.
Go To:
Settings > Lock scrren & password > Prevent pocket dials [turn on].
When turn it on, the phone don't will work on your pocket.
The button shows up in screenshots! Epic fail.
I was only using it to turn the screen off but it has to go with that fatal flaw.
I use an invisible widget in home screen to turn screen off, when not in home screen you can use the home button along with home bot app with long pressing to turn screen off, but you need to enable this
