My phone tends to turn off in my pocket due to the power button being held and then, somehow, the "turn off" on the screen clicked. Is there any way to make screen lock lock the physical buttons as well? So that clicking the power button turns the screen on like it does now but holding it doesn't make the window prompt. From what I see, there's no such option in the android itself so some app maybe?

How can I turn off screen directly?
Hand up key just exit app first...
the red hangup button switches off the screen directly.
he means like in treo650's if you hit the red key/hangup button it turns the screen off when your in an app and when you press it again it is still in the current app, rather then hit the red key takes you to the home screen then hit it again and it turns the screen off.
Similar effect you can have with Opt+Hangup. It activates KeyGuard and turns screen of in 3 or 5 seconds. After pressing hangup again you're back in last app. But you have to use combination of keys
Not sure is it HTC Touch or WM6, there isn't any selection for
Backlight option "Turn on backlight when a button is pressed
or the screen is tapped". After device Backlight turn off, only
button to turn back on is on/off button. Anyway i can set such
that I can also use buttons like "Call" "End Call" to turn on backlight?
Is there any solution on the above? Probably some registry changes or
edit that can allow the "Call" end "End" button to use to turn on the
backlight?
Exactly the same problem...
Or, said in a different way, I'd like to block the device (screen and buttons), and completely turn backlight off, but being able to see an "active screen".
The current implementation (turn on the screen through power button) is very unconfortable.
So I'm looking for a Lock Screen program that will fit my needs and so far I've come up very blank...
Here are my needs:
1. Lock the screen when I hit the power button.
2. Prevent the phone from powering off when holding down the End Key when the device is locked.
My device is a Touch Pro 2. The built in Lock screen works great at preventing a power down, but it doesn't lock when I press the power button.
Most of the replacement programs S2U2, PocketShield, TouchLockPro, LockMeLite... they all lock when I hit the power button but they don't prevent powering off when holding down the End Key. S2U2 is supposed to have a setting that will lock this but it doesn't work.
So, any recommendations?
Okay, I found a program (see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=649695&highlight=lock) that makes the default lock screen show up whenever the system goes into stand by.
Is there any way, when using the default windows lock program that comes with the Verizon Wireless Touch Pro2, to make the phone lock when pressing the power button on top?
I'm struggling to find a program that will prevent my phone from powering down when I have it in my belt holster. Most of the replacement programs out there do NOT prevent the phone from turning off by holding down the end key when the screen is locked. The only lock program that I found that can is the default lock program. But that won't automatically lock the phone when I press the power button on top. It will only lock if it tap the 'lock' soft key.
Any suggestions?
Found my solution! A little program that causes the lock to happen whenever the phone goes into standby.

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?
