Is there a way to awake the phone by using the volume rocker instead of the power button located on the right side of the phone?
Thanks.

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?
Why does only the ringer volume change when I use the volume rocker on my home screen? I realize it specifically says "Ringer volume," but is there a way to have my notification volume relatively change as well? I could have sworn this was the case with my old G1.
For example, in the volume settings I have ringer volume set at 100% and notification volume set at 50%. It would be extremely convenient if I used the volume rocker to bring 'ringer' down to 50% and the notification volume would go down by half as well, bringing it to 25%. Similarly, if they were both at 100% in the settings, they'd both be at 50% after I used the rocker to bring 'ringer' down to 50%.
p.s - ever say a word so many times to yourself that it loses meaning?
I do too!!! Lol I want it to be the same

Every time I touch the Volume Button on the side of the case (even accidentally) the ringer volume goes down incrementally. Can this button be locked or deactivated? Can the volume be locked in some other way? Does the vibration setting have anything to do with this issue?
Volume Control + will lock your volume for you.

The only way I can turn on my Nexus 5 now is using adb and a computer. Is there a way to possibly turn on my phone on the road? Without the use of a computer?
You can remap with the Volume button.
Just double tap screen to wake
I didn't think the N5 had double-tap. My N6 needs an app, and be rooted, to do it.
Turning on the phone from sleep may be possible (double tap, magnetic screen case, remap button) but if it's been completely switched off...? How do you switch it on without a power button? The power button remap sounds feasible (how do you do that, by the way?) but then how do you change the volume?
When I press my power button to shutdown the screen my phone takes a screenshot I've gotten to the point where I can do it any time I want.It still does the palm swipe and power and volume down screenshot. How do I make this go away?

Maybe the volume down button is permanently triggering.
Can you check your volume, if it sticks to a higher level?
Turns out I had a bad case.Take it off and it never happens so I enabled the double tap to shut the screen down.
