Hi fellow Android developers,
I have a mind-boggling issue here and googling yield no result.
Basically I have an app which needs to perform a screen lock function at some point (setting FLAG_FULLSCREEN and the relevant settings).
This works on Motorola Droid but not Motorola Milestone XT720. On the Milestone, pressing the home button takes me right back to the home screen, which should not be the case.
Is this a device-specific issue or I am really missing out something?

For real. I just discovered the beauty of No Lock, which in conjunction with a case and a fullscreen launcher brings froyo a little closer to tablet heaven.
It just removes the lock screen, meaning 1. you can bring it straight out of sleep with the power button and 2. you will not have to see the moment when your launcher removes the taskbar.
If only we could get rid of the row with the dock alltogether, then froyo would almost be a tablet os!
Thx, good tipp!
No Lock is awesome. It gives you the choice of either enabling lock or no lock. If you choose no lock, then you only need to press the power button to use the phone. You dont have to slide to unlock it. Sweet!!
Also "Screen lock suppressor" works..
funny how a little thing like that will immediately change the feel of using a device... its pure gold until we are able to cook custom roms
I stopped using it on my Milestone a long time ago, never tried it on my Galaxy S (and I actually like the Galaxy S lock screen).
Reason I stopped using it on the Milestone is that it had a tendency to cause excessive battery drain. Hopefully the author has addressed this.
uses absolutely no battery on my tab...
Maybe your Milestone was always powered on?
Never heard of that problem.
I hate the fact that when using nolock the phone power up even when pressing the volume buttons...

yes, the volume buttons cannot be disabled - its a limitation of 2.2 as far as i know
nevertheless, i never hit them by mistake...
Hi All.
Just got my DX last week. I am liking the DX, except for the bootloader issue and the back/home/menu/search "hard" keys. I really miss the "soft" keys on the D1. These feel a little awkward and I also worry that they will wear out or break over time.
I installed an app called "softkeys" that gives me a floating bar with on-screen back/home/menu/search buttons and I am pretty happy with that. I have also seen the soft key application that places the keys on the side of the screen and lets them slide in or out.
But I would love to find one that shifts the screen up to allow soft back/home/menu/search to always remain on the bottom of the screen and out of the way?
Is it possible? Anyone know of such an app?
Thanks,
Rob
This may or may not work for you. Use this at you own risk.

greetings!
Just recently i got a Motorola Defy, and to be honest the top power button seems a little wimpy.
i have downloaded two apps so far to circumvent the power key;
Tap Tap App and Fix Broken Power Button.
the following problems occur when attempting to power the phone down.
In Fix Broken Power Button the widget is completely inoperative.
in Tap Tap App the screen will flash dark, then immediately come to the lock screen.
i believe this has to do with the Defy's internal workings, and have seen other people have similar problems,
see http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1017269.html
is there hope for my phone?
thank you.
Hello.
Is there a way get rid off the lock screen once and for all? We have power button, which I found more then sufficient for accidental screen taps protection.
On Motorola Atrix 4G/2 it's controlled by "screen_lock" key in com.motorola.android.providers.settings database
Anything similar in Skyrocket?
Thank you.
P.S.
trying to avoid no-lock app, which I had trouble with in the past.
Does anyone know how to change which apps are shortcuts on the lock screen? Currently, I can drag the lock ring right to unlock, up for phone, left for camera, and down for text messaging. I'd like to replace the down shortcut with Google Voice.
I am running the JB soak test with root.
Thank you!

I asked the same question at androidforums in the Photon Q section there. From the answers I received (or lack thereof), my guess is that they can't be changed without changing the lock screen altogether. Apps like GoLocker (which I believe requires GoLauncher EX also be installed) or WidgetLocker (a paid app) will do the trick, but if there is a way to do it with an out-of-the-box phone, I have yet to find it.
Since I'm here, I'm wondering, does the Photon Q have the ability to turnt he lock screen off? as in, you can set the phone's home screen or whatever you were last doing to come up when you hit the power button to turn the screen back on, instead fo going tot he lock screen. I would assume that ability is retained, but since Moto apparently changed the lock screen, I wonder if they removed that function thoughtlessly, as some are known to do.

yes you can set the phone up in JB to have no lock screen. Hit power button and return to last screen viewed.:good:
