Hi guys, I have a htc desire hd and am always cautious when I have turned my phone off and like to check if it is actually off. But the only way you can do this is by pressing the lock button, however this will turn the phone on anyway. So my question is if there is an application that allows you to wake up the phone (by that I mean when it is locked, bringing up the unlock screen) by using the volume rocker?
P.s I realise this should probably be in the desire hd section sorry

If you download lock bot from the market, it wakes your phone by pressing the volume key.

thanks for that but i dont really want to change the entire lock screen process, i would just like to have the default lock screen, but instead of just being able to show it with the power key, i would like to be able to activate it withthe rocker volume aswell
Any one got anything else to recommend?

is there any way to wake my phone screen up when locked using the menu button? or home button? or search etc. im so tired of pressing the power button just to wake my screen up sometimes its just so irritating.. ive tried using widgetlocker and the easywake mode that allows volume buttons wake up still feels uncomfortable to me..

I'm not sure how I feel about this one. The power button makes sense because it is a physical button. Its really easy to accidentally turn the phone on by hitting they led keys. would kill the battery fast. But I'll look into it once I get a chance. Work is killing me right now.

Hello guys, I just want to know is there any way through which I can increase the sensitivity of the power button? My phone is now one year old and I've found that the power button is very annoying. If any new person happens to use my phone, he is to be taught to apply a bit more force to the power button to lock the phone.
Also, long press is difficult! It's very difficult to take screenshots (with CM ROM that has power button screen shot option).
When I long press to take a screenshot, after releasing the button, the phone sleeps and gets locked. It happens several times and to take one screenshot I have to face it almost five times. I think it is because of dust that gets collected below the plastic button, is there any suggestion from you that can make my finger's life easy??? :banghead:
Uhh, and do not suggest opening the phone body and clean it!!!

And how does a topic come under 'favourites' section of the xda premium app??? Such a stupid question but I am really not finding a way out!!!

Same problem. Isn't much you can do with the power button. It's mechanical so to fix the actual button you would have to open up the phone and fiddle in there. (don't try this if you don't know what you're doing)
I, for one, am using this mod. It works on the rom level, not the phone itself so it needs to be flashed every time you install a new rom (even when it's the same one but different version) and it won't work when the phone is completely shut down, you still have to use the power button.
Oh yeah! I knew that mod but forgot!
Well then, for now I use a screen locking widget... but still to unlock power button is required...
Will have to stay with it only.. :banghead:

Oh, and yeah, that same widget allows to lock the phone by long pressing search button.

Can't you just press any other button, like menu or the back key, and slide to unlock?
same problem with volume keys also

Yes I know I can, but sometimes just to see notifications or time, I don't take out the phone from the cover, only its head...

whats ur benefit from that job???
don't know answer to your problem but i can see benefits (if pwr button is damaged or in some notwelldesigned protective case can't be pushed well). it would be nice if we could remap that button
Not possible. Never will be.
I saw this a while ago. It is possible to turn off but not on.
You can edit this file: system/usr/keylayout/chacha-keypad.kl and change the line of button 184 SHARE to 184 POWER WAKE_DROPPED
There are 13 spaces between power and wake. It will turn the screen off but when chacha enters deep sleep it will not turn it on. You can download widget locker. With it you can turn the screen on with the 'a' button even though your phone is in a deep sleep. It works for me like a charm. I never use the physical power button anymore.
Is there a app that doesn't lock the screen when the display turns off, I find it a bit annoying on android to turn on the phone, on symbian I just had to press any key to turn on the display without unlocking it, and lock it only using the lock key.
I prefer a app like LG G2's Knock On.

theres a kernel here what does what you want ,well i think it does

I don't want to upgrade to a CFW now. I prefer enjoying rhe phone on stock than to deal with minor hindrances which ruin the experience on a CFW, like the camera bug mentioned in the thread you quoted to.

You're out of luck then unfortunately, custom kernel is the only thing that offers it right now.

Such a basic thing that symbian had but android doesn't, I am disappointed with Google.

Just go to settings and set lock screen to none.

Thanks for the apps but with both the apps the phone gets locked after the screen turns off, I wanted a app that turns off the autolock of phone and just turns off the screen to save power. So I can press any key on the phone to see the screen without unlocking it each time.

I can press any key except the volume rockers which leaves the obvious power button and the home button will turn my screen on and with no lock screen it does what you want it to.

On my Samsung Galaxy S 4g (t959v) the power key is nearly broken and i have to really push it with 2 hands every time i want to on or off the phone screen. the problem is getting worse and i need another way to unlock and turn off the screen of the phone. I dont have the time or skills to open up the phone to fix the button and still have the phone working when i put it back together (i have broken many devices this way) are there any apps that i can use?
my phone is rooted
Check the play store for power widgets to turn off. Maybe you can remap the power to camera or volume button for on.

There is an awesome app called Tasker. It's amazing and you can use it to reroute the hardware keys to do different things e.g. volume up = screen off, etc.
