I've seen there is script for HTC Desire to allow changing the wake up other than the power button, do we have one for Droid 2? I like to either use the menu or home to wake it up instead of power. TIA.
not unless you figured out a way to get physical buttons on it... the capacitive buttons are unresponsive when the phone is asleep or else it would be awake 24/7 in your pocket and your battery life would be nil

It's true, we have the same feature for the Droid incredible. But the difference is that we have a physical button that we can press.

I see, just my wishful thinking .
You can download the app NoLock and then you can unlock/wake-up the phone with any of the physical buttons; ie volume, camera, and power buttons, but you will lose the lockscreen. Or you could get WidgetLocker, also can use physical buttons to wake-up, but you still have the lockscreen.

Hey I'd love to work on this but I'm not sure where to start so I'll request it. I'd like to see something like trackball wake for the Nexus but use the volume button on the EVO. Also the menu button unlock so we don't have to swipe. I know Metalhead now has the menu unlock on the market. It doesn't seem to work, but maybe he can tweek it too.
What trackball?
He said he would like to see something LIKE the trackball wake but using the volume keys because we dont have a trackball.

If anyone finds an app or something that will allow the EVO to wake from the 4 front buttons please let me know either on here or PM. Its the only feature keeping me from getting an EVO.
No I'm not as picky as it sounds lol, its a dexterity issue.
i would say you woul want it to be one of the touch buttons on front since you would always hit em by mistakednt
Double tap of the menu would work for me, I'd even prefer it but I assume that the driver and hardware for the screen and for the soft buttons at the bottom of the screen are the same. While we could always leave the screen on and watch for touch input all the time I think it would kill the battery.
But if someone knows of the soft buttons using a separate driver or hardware then we could consider it.
What I was suggesting was to go from off to using it press the volume down key and then menu vs. pressing power then swiping the screen unlock thing. Of course you could do the volume and then swipe too, but the menu button would be a added benefit.
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

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?
I wish that the screen would turn on when you click any of the bottom 4 buttons, it was like that on my storm and I believe its like that on the droid X as well. Its just much easier to press than the unlock button.
Also has anyone noticed that there is a bit of lag from when you press the power button to when the screen appears?
Try Widget Locker Lock Screen in the Android Market. It's $1.99.

It's likely that you can "hack" this functionality into the ROM then. Adrynalyne did so with the Fascinate where any physical button will wake the phone, so I don't see why it couldn't be done on the Charge.
I found NoLED when I get an IM, email or SMS and I press home button to get to the unlock screen. A friend of mine uses No Lock that lets him unlock the screen with the home button.

YES!
Very very very annoying. And the brightness level takes even longer to ramp up once the screen is on, after the lag. Ugh.
Out-of-the-box, it seems only the power button will wake the Skyrocket up. I've also changed my accessibility settings so that the power button ends calls.
Guess what happens when your screen turns off during a call and you need to turn it back on to, say, unmute the conference call you were listening in on. Yup. You guessed it. It hangs up.
No other buttons were coded stock to wake the phone except the power button. There are mods that allow using the volume buttons to wake the phone if it's a continuing issue.

yep check in dev section. +1
Thanks in advance!
WidgetLocker has the ability
Just tried it, checked the box in settings, but no dice
Uninstalled and got a refund.
Any others?
no lock?
or
Screen Off and Lock?
Thanks, already tried both of them because they worked on my og evo, but no such luck
Coming from the galaxy s2 I do miss the power button on the side, hoping to find a solution still

Actually, I used to have a Nexus One and the power button was broken. To circumvent that, I had to use an app called AnyUnlock. I turned the screen on with the volume rocker and you could also use a widget to turn the screen off (rather than using the power button to turn the screen off). Which I suppose could be useful if you have smaller fingers or something and didn't want to make the reach. Very, very useful app when your power button stops functioning.

I'm sure it uses the same method that the other apps use and it even says in the description on their app page that it only works on Froyo and GB.
Yea seems like all of them don't work with ics urrrrrrrrr

Volume Rocker Wake works on CM9 Alpha 5
I've been using CM9 Alpha 5 for a few hours now and it's great !
The first think I set was the Volume Rocker Wake as the Power Button is not as easy to press when using most cases covering the power button.
To enable it, go to SETTING --> DISPLAY --> VOLUME ROCKER WAKE
it enables waking the phone by pressing the volume rocker EITHER up/down.
There is no way to specify one or the other
However, it works great ! I'm really liking CM9, my only complaint is the missing HTC Camera which was just amazing with the hardware burst (I'm still looking for a way to flash it if that's even possible).
