[Q] To Use Volume Button To Wake Up - HTC Sensation

Is the a App or a way to use the volume button to wake up the screen so we don't put to much stress on the power button?

I use tap tap app and it uses ones proximity sensor to turn on and off your screen with a swipe of your hand or some like to refer to as "the force" lol.
But if you are looking for an alternative wake, I think there is, I forget what the app is called right now.

There is an application called Button Remapper and that could help you just wake up screen with volume buttons or other hard buttons on my HTC Desire.. give a try to it on Sensation...

Alternative is Widget Locker and i suppose that will also Show up unlock screen pressing volume buttons but then u have to sacrifice Sense 3 lock screen...

I agree with jjdoctor widgetlocker has been my lock screen for years across a numerous amount of phones. That is, if you want to sacrifice the sense lockscreen.

I use Tap Tap app as well. Pretty cool app. I try not to run it all the time though because it can drain the battery a bit. I also use widgetsoid as well which has an unlock widget where you can then use the volume rocker to wake up the phone.

Tried Widgetsoid on a different phone but couldnt locate the Option to wakeup screen with Volume buttons.. its all about widgets in this application..
Btw... BUTTON REMAPPER isnt working ? Nobody ever used it? You wont be sacrficing Sense Lock screen for it..moreover its light application and wont even drain ur battery..

For Widgetsoid, I think you want to create a widget, select screen and then check auto lock. That will create a widget which you can enable/disable the lock screen. Then you can use the volume rocker to wake up the phone.

I was looking for something that can wake up the phone not remove lock screen just to wake up. I tried nolock. It removes the lock screen just to wake up.

Try adding these to the build.prop (remember to do a nandroid)
To enable the Volume button too unlock the phone
ro.config.hw_Vol_down_unlockscreen=true
To wake the phone when pressing the volume key
ro.config.hwfeature_wakeupkey=1
I havent tried these so let me know my sensation is at service at the moment.

Thanks for the information!

tried it... didn't work...

I too would love to be able to wake up my phone with the volume rocker, but keep the lockscreen intact.
The power button on my previous phone wore out way too fast, and this is a worry with the Sensation.
Tried several different apps, editing the build.prop file, button remapper... nothing has worked so far.
I'm using Insertcoin 3.2.0... which is fabulous.

Here's what I found and been using it since. It's awesome.. enjoy guys! Copied and pasted directly from syc7090 - full credits to him. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18039135#post18039135
1. Download baksmali and smali (both baksmali-1.2.8 & smali-1.2.8 jars and scripts, total 4 files) to the desktop from http://code.google.com/p/smali/ (on the left, you will see the 4 links under "downloads")
2. Copy and transfer android.policy.jar (system\framework folder) from your phone to the desktop. it's also a good idea to backup the file just in case something goes wrong and you need to revert back.
3. Unzip android.policy.jar and extract classes.dex file to the desktop.
4. From the command line, navigate to the desktop and type "java -jar baksmali-1.2.8.jar classes.dex". It will create a directory named "out".
7. Open KeyguardViewMediator.smali (found in out/com/android/internal/policy/impl/) with wordpad.
8. Scroll down and find ".method private isWakeKeyWhenKeyguardShowing(I)Z".
9. Delete cases 0x18 and 0x19 in the switch statement towards the bottom of the method. Save.
10. From the command line, type "java -jar smali-1.2.8.jar -o classes.dex out". You now have a new classes.dex that has your modification.
11. Open android.policy.jar file on your desktop with 7zip and insert the new classes.dex file.
12. Copy the new file to your phone (system\framework folder, ensure that you set proper permissions) and reboot.
please note that i am not responsible if you mess anything up (although, the steps are pretty brick-proof). hack away at your own risk.
ps if you want to turn the screen off without using the power button, download "screen off and lock" from the market. awesome free app. shut down the screen by long pressing the search button.

This works for simply remapping. Just did it to remap my MENU and HOME keys. Used Root Explorer. The file name is mecha-keypad.kl
So, I would imagine this would also work for mapping one of the keys to wake the phone however will still need to pull/push the file with ADB to do that.
Great find! Thanks. Been wanting to do this for weeks, now.

well i tried adb pull mecha-keypad.kl and put it on c drive then i edited with notepad++ by putting WAKE by the menu slot then pushed it back to its original location but it still will not wake device AM i doing something wrong???
I seen in there that there is also a mecha-keypad-v0.kl file maybe that needs to be edited to wake the device by pressing the MENU key???
any help??anyone
My power button is not gone yet but its close and if i could save it by relieving it a bit it would be nice
I doubt you'll be able to wake the phone with any soft key - I doubt the digitizer is active when the phone is asleep, so there's nothing watching for presses.

make the home key wake the device?

anyone have a mod that does this?
sorry if this is in the wrong place. i'm new here.
I don't know of a patch for that yet, but I'm sure it's possible.
If we had CyanogenMod for the Charge, it would be baked into the ROM.
Someday ...
I would like to see this. possibly even disable the quick press options of the power button and reassign them to another combination. I hit the button all the time trying to do other things on the phone and then I get locked out and have to redo my pattern etc.
Widgetlocker app can do this for you.
Using Root Explorer or possibly Estrongs file explorer:
>Go to system>usr>keylayout>s3c-keypad.kl
>modify key 50 to look like this: HOME WAKE_DROPPED
>Then reoboot
Now home key wakes device!
UPDATE: Seems after it is asleep for a period of time it won't wake it anymore, have to work this out.
What application do we use to edit the value? A text editor? What do you suggest?
I use Root Explorer Long press open in text editor,
I think you can do the same with estrongs file explorer.

Sorry for the unnecessary request. I see it is in the other post.
It seems as though the front keypad module is not active once it goes completely to sleep, there for won't wake it.
If someone can figure this out, it will work just fine.

Definite thanks for looking into it. I'll try the app that bill mentioned and see if it makes a difference. I haven't yet rooted so I don't think I can do your version yet even if it works.

Are suggesting this because you have this on your Droid Charge and it is currently working correctly?
The reason I ask, is I tried a couple weeks back and could not get it working correctly.
I have it on my Charge. It works intermittently. I found that if the phone is asleep for a little while it usually does not work... occasionally it does work but no consistent pattern.
I'm also looking for a better fix than the app.
Suggestions are greatly appreciated!
The same thing happens when you just modify the key mapping, it's because the front keypad module is off when the phone sleeps.
So if it could be activated at all times that would fix it, but I imagine it may have some side effects to battery life.
This will disable the lock screen for good. After you do this fix you can wake up the Droid by briefly pressing the power button and it will go immediately to the home screen without any lock screen madness.
Go to Dialer and enter *#83786633, then press the home key
Go back into the Dialer, clear those numbers, then *#22745927
Now a screen will appear asking for the SPC Code, enter 000000
Press the Hiddenmenu Enable radio button, then press home button
To disable the lock screen (and power down pop up), go back into the Dialer and use the code *#7594#, select Shutdown and press the Home button. This, I have confirmed, does work on the Charge.

[Q] How to Wake up Optimus 3D with volum key?

I try agilelock, wiget locker, lockbot pro... but no program work ... It work when I plug in usb or changer... When i plug out, I can't use volum key to wake up..
I need a help..
Thank you very much...
I believe its cause USB and charger doesn't really put the phone to sleep. It's still awake even if screen is off. However all those lock screen apps you tried will put phone to sleep.
Download an app called NoLock and give it a try. That'll remove the keyguard, but some people have discovered it also allows the phone to wake up from Volume Keys.
Technically, if your phone can wake up from volume keys, it can wake up from the 3D key too.

Please help me How to config the setting, I also used "Go lunch EX".

No solution to wake up
Not quite what you guys are looking for but if you go to /system/usr/keylayout and open omap_keypad.kl scroll down and by key 249 3d_hot_key space over and add "wake" (you will see when you open the file just make it line up) you can use the 3d button to wake the phone up.
...fighting ninjas at night, talkin' about this and that.
Well if you use GO launcher EX you should test Go locker.
Enable Go locker and in setup take "Emergency unlock" on use.
It let you unlock phone by pressing volume button up or down for few seconds,
if thats the "wakeup" what you are finding for?

works for me thank you Urabewe.....
1. i first have to change the permission for omap_keypad.kl by using file manager. if u don't change permission, u won't be able to save changes made.
2. stroll down to put key 249 3D_MODE WAKE (between mode and wake, put in some spaces )
3. save and reboot.
and now can be able to wake up screen that sleeps for longer than few minutes using 3d button

Good it isn't quite the option you guys were looking for but still glad it works I am finding it pretty convienient uit.edu follow what anduios said. All you have to do is space over add in wake and you are good to go. Should wake phone up no matter how long it has been idle.

Is 3D button still work? For launching 3D space and other functions?
Yeah it is still set to open 3d space all you are doing is adding the wake function to the button. You don't remove anything you just space over and add wake. You will see what I mean when you open the file. The button should work as usual plus add the ability to wake phone.
What is really odd is that the vol keys actually have the wake function set just doesn't work.
...fighting ninjas at night, talkin' about this and that.
Sorry double post.
Easy way
1) open root explorer
2) go to /system/usr/keylayout
3) press the "mount r/w" button in top right
4) long press on omap-keypad.kl
5) scroll down on menu and choose "open in text editor"
6) scroll all the way down to bottom
7) at "key 249 3D_MODE" space over until cursor is lined up with the word wake on line above
8) type in "wake" make sure it is lined up with column above either add spaces or delete them to line it up
9) reboot phone
10) wake phone with 3d button

[Q] Any volume wake mode for the ICS leak?

Hello,
I am on the official OTA for ICS on the Atrix 2 in India. I found that it does not have the feature of waking on volume key. Can anyone help out with a mod? I found some threads but were not sure if the solutions were compatible with the phone and the kernel version.
Thanks,
Sayantan
I changed evfwd.kl and Generic.kl (added WAKE after volume up and down keys) and that did the trick. Also reviewed other key layout files and decided that they need not be changed.

How are you making your edits, using Root Explorer or similar? If so, you should delete the .bak file it creates for /keylayout (but make sure you make a backup of the original before fooling around with it), the reboot and see if that clears things up...

I just gave that a try (using ES File Explorer for everything) and still no dice. It won't wake up using volume keys no matter what, even with the .bak files deleted. Not sure if it makes any difference but I'm running ScV7 first leak edition. Any other suggestions/ideas...?
You need to have the screen lock set to None to wake using volume keys. Any other mode like slider, pattern etc will require the power key to wake.

Sorry, it took me a couple of days before I got a chance to retry this hack. Changing the lock setting to "None" (was previously on "Slider") did the trick and allowed the edits of the Generic.kl and evfwd.kl files to kick in successfully and allow screen wake by the volume keys. Thanks sayantan for the extra bit of guidance.
Ideally it would be great to be able to wake the phone using volume but still have the security of the lock screen available, but I suppose at the moment that's just not a possibility. Perhaps a future hack of some sort will find a way to enable that.
Right now, with lock set to "None" if a call comes in while your phone's in your pocket, and you ignore or miss the call completely, the phone then stays on and goes to the Home screen and stays there until it automatically times out and goes back to sleep. That's a lot of opportunity for accidental screen presses by the side of your leg while the device is active and accepting input. There doesn't seem to be any way to make it turn back off by default after a missed call. Maybe that can be changed in the future too.
EDIT: Right now I'm using the combination of Smart Actions along with the free application "Screen Off and Lock" to cause the Atrix 2 to switch the screen off after a missed call, which seems to work most of the time.
Cheers...

I don't think theres a other way to unlock honestly...
I DO know theres a way to remap the buttons, so that you would (as example) be able to use the volume buttons for unlocking the screen. But I would have no idea how it actually works, too long ago since I saw it somewhere...
But about your power/unlock button, did it function normally before, or has it been bad since you got the phone?
Maybe there's some dirt or something in the button blocking it partly?

I have the same problem with the power button. It's not your fault, it's just the wrong way the button was made.
I use 2 apps to lock/unlock my phone by shake( and you can also unlock by hand gestures over the sensor- next to the front camera). You can try ShakeMe and you can also try to use Advanced Screen Control. Just install these 2 apps and play with the sensitivity and you'll find the perfect fit.
These 2 apps seem to be the best out of the bunch that you can find on the Play store.
Tell me if they work!

If you root, go to /System/Usr/Keylayout/
Edit Generic.kl file.
Adding 'WAKE' after Volume down and up.
Then go to setting>security>screen lock to none
Maybe some other expert member can figure out how to make this working when enable screen lock.
Sorry my english.

You can have screen lock on and use volume down to unlock:
- With a root access file manager like Root Explorer or ES File Explorer go to /system/usr/keylayout
- Open in text editor file fih_gpio-keys.kl
- Look for key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE
- Replace the "VOLUME_DOWN" with "POWER".
- Save and reboot.
This essentially maps your volume down key as a power button. If you need to reduce the volume push volume up then use the on screen slider to set volume

This essentially maps your volume down key as a power button. If you need to reduce the volume push volume up then use the on screen slider to set volume
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
......it worked for me am hoping that a new power button will fix it properly
