Hi all, this is my first post here.
I'm using an HP iPAQ 914c phone but it has something that makes me very uncomfortable: not only the power button wakes up the device from suspended mode, but also the hang-down button. Sadly the hang-down button is easy pressed when the device is in my pocket.
Is there any setting or application which will allow me to set only the power button to wake up my device from suspended mode?
Thank you in advance.

Check out S2U2

i tried s2u2 some weeks ago but wouldn't work well since my screen is 320x240 (landscape), therefore I'm now using ThlottleLock which works like a charm, but still best option would be to simply use the power button to unlock, since that button can hardly be pressed by chance once the device is in my pocket.
So thanks for the suggestion, BUT the question remains open. Any ideas how to disable the wakeup function from the hang-down button?

Is there any way that using voice button intead of power button?
the power button is widely used.
when unlock the device , lock the device[turn off screen lock key] and watching time,i offen push the power button ,many times a day.
so i am afraid of the power buttom will be loose or bad,it looks so sicker than any other button.
and i have a opinion that want to give the voice button the locking and unlocking function.
the voice button[on the left side upon the p3650]
is there any software or by changing the regredit ,can do that ?
You could download PHM Suspend PowerToy and either put it in your Start Menu apps or map one of the buttons to that program using using the button mapper in control panel.
There are many applications that allow this, and there are ways to do it manually also. VITO ButtonMapper is one. Search the forum and you'll find more options.
Alternatively, you could set your phone to turn the screen off after less time. Or you could set a long press of the hang-up key to lock the screen. Both of these options are available in control panel.

thanks a lot .

Hi all,
So I broke the power button on my Titan (dropped it, now the action moves but doesn't do anything) and I'm wondering if I can remap it to, say, the comm-manager button.
As it is now, I've had to disable sleeping which completely hoses my battery life.
Any help?
edit: Now with clear title.
you mean you want to map another button to be the power button?
if so use ShutXP and HButton.
ShutXP lets you shut your phone off and reset it.
HButton lets you map applications to different hardware buttons...

I think you misunderstood. Normal function of my power button is to standby (you can still receive phone calls while in standby), press it again to wake up. I don't care at all about restart/shutdown functionality, only standby and waking up from standby.
I tried AEBPlus to put the phone in standby but then I cannot wake it back up! I imagine I need something lower-level to make another button cause the device to wakeup from standby.
edit: OK, so really what I want is to assign a single button that will wake the device up from standby. This has been discussed

there's an app in WM called Display Switch. if you used HButton you could map it to a hardware button...
it's /windows/shutdown.exe
the lnk file should contain the following code:
Code:
54#"\Windows\Shutdown.exe"
2?\Windows\Shutdown.exe,-10000
incase you don't find the exe in your windows dir let me know and i'll post it

Thanks for the help, but I find that, on standby, all my buttons are disabled except the (non-functional) power button. Hardly helps to map the wakeup to a button that is disabled!
EDIT: Settings->System->Keylock-->Do not lock keys.
Now All I need is a hack that will add a "Lock all but comm-manager" to that dialog, instead of "Lock all but power"!!!
lol. sometimes.. i think one step further and it doesn't do well to the solution..
forgot that all hw buttons are disabled.
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

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?
I'm wondering if there's a way to make it so other buttons will wake the phone so you see the lock screen. Ideally the home button, but I'd be happy with just the volume rocker
There is an app and it works really well.... I forgot the name though
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App
It's called No Lock
I may use no lock since I can't seem to find a good lock screen that will show email sms and weather. However I meant how can I get the phone to respond to more than just the power button from a black screen...
Thanks anyway
widgetlocker able to show emails and other widgets.
it able to wakeup phone with volume keys "sometimes".

This is actually my biggest gripe about the phone! Only way to wake it is to hit the power button. Lame. Unless someone knows something I don't
If you enable No Lock you can use the volume rocker as well as the power button to wake the phone

Weird. Not for me. Only power button awakens. I'm running Launcher Pro... wonder if that could be it?
