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.

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?

Well known "bug", you should really search your devices forums. Basically it's from Voice app that Samsung has bound to double tapping the home button. Look in your device's dev forums probably best bet.
Thx. Doing that now. But one thing though this never happened to me before. This annoying bug Started today

If I add the widget button labeled "go to sleep", does this so anything different than just simply turning the screen off the regular way?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
I don't believe so, pressing the power button is considered putting the phone to sleep, so that widget probably does the same thing. It's useful if your button is broken or going to break and you don't want to press the power button to put it to sleep.
Ok, that's what I figured. Thanks for the feedback

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...
The buttons all light up but don't work at all. I have the phone all disassembled but dont know which connector it is? Can someone please help me so I can see if its connected right.
OR How about mapping the BACK function to the camera button? I can deal with that lol i'm running cyanogen mod 9
Maybe like, have it be half press on camera is home, hard press is back? And hold is menu?

If you have it torn apart the cable connecting those buttons should be obvious
But if you don't want to replace it and are willing to remap then there are apps in the play store that can add soft buttons to homescreens
