Hi there...
To reserve more battery power, I usually shut off the backlight during noon and turn it back on night by just push the power button couples of seconds. I found it very helpfull
Currently I've upgrade my Himalaya to WM 2005. It works fine, but not the backlight control over power button. Is there any way to make that lovely function on again? Or is there any software can control the backlight behavior to be assigned to one of the hardware buttons.
Thank you for your help.

Hi all
I've had my Omnia for a few weeks now and love just about everything about it now that I've tweaked it to suit me. I've set up the M2D system and think it handles great.
There's just one thing that I'd like to change and I wondered if anyone may have found a solution for me. When you lock the keys/screen by pressing and holding the 'end' button, the volume buttons can still be used - I thought I'd switched my phone to vibrate mode and gone into a meeting but must have caught the volume button a few times because halfway through the meeting my phone started screaming out Paradise City by Guns N Roses at almost full volume when a call came in, which was very embarrasing!
Anyhow - if anyone knows of a way to also lock the volume buttons along with the rest of the hardware buttons and the screen upon pressing and holding the 'end' button, I'd really appreciate the details.
Thanks in advance.
just hold the NO button to lock all the buttons instead of using power button to lock the phone.
i found the way to stop that i had the same problem and all you need to do is go to "settings" then "buttons" then scroll right until you see "wake up" then check the last box!!!!!!
I have an HTC FUZE and I dropped it in a puddle of water and now the power button is constantly activated even though I am not touching the button. The button still clicks fine but again, the power button is always active. I cannot manually put my phone to sleep, nor can I turn it off using the power button.
My question is, could I remap the power button (long and short) to another button say the PPT button?
thanks
help anyone?
I had a similar problem with my first Fuze and had to get a refurbished replacement from AT&T. In my case the sticking power button caused constant rebooting of the phone. Probably not what you wanted to hear, but I was unable to do anything to unstick the button.
if the power button is just nt working, you can still put your phone to sleep with third paty softwares like psShutXp. But I don't think it is possible to remap it to a different hardware key afaik.

I'd like to wake up my device by (lets say ) home button except power button. I dont wanna use power button every time when it's on sleep. Is it possible? How can I? I tried Topaz Keyboard Control 1.4 but it couldn't work as the way I like. I remapped the home button for power management, it turns on&off but directly, not after it goes into sleep.
Change
HKCU\\ControlPanel\Keybd\DefaultKeyLock
from 1 to 0.
So? What will happen after that tweak done? Will it wake up by pressing home key?
After changing and soft reset, you can wake up device with any key.
You're great Fighter. You made my day again. Thank you very much.
waking up the device using a usb mouse
I am handicapt and can not use my hands. I control the samsung S6 using a special (mouth) controled mouse. That is working fine.
But my problem now is how I can wake up the device using the mouse. ?
Kind regards John
Ok, the story is, my phone goes to sleep every 30 secs to save battery. And since I'm still very excited about it, I turn it on quite often, just to check . And the only way to turn on from sleep (as far as I know) is pressing the power button. Well, that means that button will be pressed a lot! I'm just worrying that it will soon have problems. It would be much cooler if we can touch some Android button down there, Home button for example, to turn on the phone. Do you know anyway to do that?
PS: I tried to google as well as search through out this forum, but the keywords are pretty common, so it's really hard though.
I wouldn't want the capacitive buttons activating my phone, think of all the butt-dialing
I think Widget Locker allows for any hardware button to wake up the device, so then you'd be able to distribute the fun between your volume rocker and the power button.
Widget locker does allow the use of the volume rocker to wake up the phone.
a short term fix or you might be to got o settings-->Applications-->Development-->Stay awake....
so as long as you are charging the screen will not sleep. dont forget to change the setting back if you walk away for a bit... or go to bed
Thanks guy. I think the volume button is good enough

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
thanks rumur, i going to give widget locker a try.
i hate it must reach for power button to wakeup!
i like "Simply Lockscreen", it also turns on cappy with volume buttons.
give it a try
On a similar note, do you all have any app tips that will allow me to do something special with the volume button while the screen is off (maybe long press or double click, or press both volume buttons at once) that will in turn toggle silent/vibrate on and off?
Hi all!
At our school we have to have turned off phones and teachers sometimes check the phones if they are turned off. I have already disabled waking up using the home hardware button (Samsung galaxy S II plus with VanirAOSP 5.1.1) but that's not enough. I had an idea if the display could be turned on only if you press volume and power button at once or both volume buttons or whatever combination, so the teacher won't be able to wake the phone. Do you know any existing app/command/plugin/module... that can do it? That would be awesome. And even better would be if I could set it to time span, like the Silent time app.
Thank you very much!
PS: Sorry for my ban English
