My kaisers power button has split in half on me, Im wondering if i can change the PTT button to be the power button thru maybe a registry change or possibly another alternative. As u kno the power button blacks the screen and locks it so u cant push buttons, and i really dont want to dial in my pocket. Can someone please help me???? I dont want to throw away a prefectly good phone bcuz of a poorly made button. Thank you guys
well i took my phone apart and swapped the camera buton for the power button, but who knows how long this one will last. Does anyone know of any reg hacks, or software that will lock the phone on a button press maybe PTT button?
Very good that you have the technical ability to do what you did
In order to not use the power button so much I advise you to install a lock utility like S2U2 for example (I suggest it because I use it and it has a very nice interface). There are also smaller and lighter apps around. Just have a look.
In addition to that you have to change the key lock settings of the phone to "lock keys if phone is locked". This will enable you to wake the phone up with any key on the phone. In order to not activate any functions of the phone with this setting you have to set the timeout of S2U2 on wakeup to 0. This way S2U2 kicks in before any of the key functions come in.
By doing these things I am able to have a phone that does not dial in my pocket and I do not use the power button to wake it up. I use the wheel.
I hope this helps.
i'm not sure if this answers you question, but usually i push my home button to wake up my phone then slide the screen to unlock it, just like how i do with my iphone previously, no settings is done with my phone
Yeah, same, I always unlock my SGS with the Home-button..
Oh. Did not know that. I don't have the phone yet. Was just reading some people's thoughts about the phone and they were annoyed about the Power button being used to wake the phone. Guess, I should've researched it some more. lol. Thanks for the info.
Either way, I think I figured it out on how to enable/disable the other buttons waking up the phone if I wanted to in that thread I posted. Should be able to wake it up using the other buttons as well instead of being limited to the power button and the home button. Just gotta have root and edit the keyboard layout then push back.
the menu and back keys are capacitative keys, not really ideal for waking with if the phone is carried in your pocket or something
So I'm making it so I can only use the software buttons that I've enabled and so far I've got the capacative buttons disabled but what I want is so that the home button can wake the device but that's it. I don't want it to take the device home, I've been changing values in both sec_key.kl and gpio-keys.kl and so far i've either got it completely disabled, acting as a power button or making it work normally (goes home as well as wake). Any ideas? I'm running SuperNexus ROM.
EDIT:
So I've found what seems to be a solution. In gpio-keys.kl change "key 102 HOME WAKE" to "key 102 SOFT_RIGHT WAKE". Seems to not do anything other than wake the phone.
Is there a way to turn off the buttons completely and only use on screen buttons?

When my phone is put on a table the home buttons aren't working . Is this somthing in the settings?
