Hey everyone, i have noticed that my desire s power button seems to be wearing out as its taking more and more pressure to activate it, i bought it second hand but it was fine at the time.. does anyone else experience this or am i just unlucky
It's a know issue with the desire s.
That's why I use the vol keys to unlock screen and a lock shortcut to lock the screen.

this is not good news
i just a new dS, hope mine lasts
use the lock widget to lock
since im not rooted,yet, i have to use power to on
@mayurh
You don't need to be rooted to use the vol keys to wake the screen.
I know it works with golocker (need goLauncherEX) and WidgetLocker Lockscreen
It cost me 15euro for the change of the power button here in Bulgaria.
The elements must be cheap because it cost me same for the change of a speaker.

When my HTC pro is locked the both volume buttons still work.
Is there a way to disable these 2 buttons when my phone is locked, the should only work if the HTC pro is not locked!
How can I change this?
good question. I would like to know as well...
a friend of mine told me, htat the diamond has got the buttons locked in locked mode, too.
2 of my working partners have both a touch diamond and they both confirmed that the button keys are turned off when the phone is locked.
you guys should check out the sensor lock app, it's free and by a peep on here, it's pretty good
this app is quite cool (sensorlock), but we just want a simple lock of the volume buttons when the device is locked by the default procedure.
sensorlock does not what i want.
I just want the default lock in wm to lock the volume keys.
So if I press the "end call" and hold it down the phone locks, it should also lock the volume keys, the on/off button should NOT be locked!
More function I do not need for locking.
It would be OK if a app does the same with a software/sensor lock function, but important is that it is enabled by long press of end call button.
Sorry no answer to your question but I agree: the fact that the volume buttons are not locked is really annoying!
volume buttons not locked
They are locked on my original Dutch T-Mobile Rom.
(and yes, I've checked that)
On my vodafone rom not, I am now runnin romeos and on this rom there are also not locked.
Note: we are speaking here about the default lock of the OS, NOT the sensorlock! So holding down the "end all button" for approx 2 seconds. The phone now locks itself and display is dimped, now all keys execpt the on/off and volume keys are locked. What I want is that volume keys are also locked.
It is possible to lock the volume keys using apps such as sensorlock, but this lock does not work with the end call button, you must rotate the phone of use the stylus to (un)lock it.
tis true. when locked, volume buttons work. when display is off, they do not
3 Australia Rom also comes with this problem. It would be interesting to know how they fixed it in the T Mobile Dutch rom.

Not really, it does not what I ask
I just want: lock using hold own end key, all keys (including volume) are OFF.
This tool does not do this, if I set is using wm in lock modus the volume keys still work, all other options are not for me...
It is great that people suggest which tools to use for locking but please only suggest a tool which locks does exactly as I ask.
If anyone Finds an answer to this I would love to know as well!
yeah kinda of a big problem. I lock the phone. Put it on vibrate or silent and put it in my pocket. because of the location of the keys, it sometimes increases the volume. Quite annoying since use an mp3player where i go, i don't hear my phone (thats why i prefer to use only vibrate).
Turning the display off is a workaround that helps a bit.. but that button also works when locked (not weird ofcourse)
Nevermind, I've found the best way to get past this is after locking the phone (by holding the end call key) if you press the power key and release it puts it into "Sleep Mode" and turns off the screen. After this the volume keys cannot be used unless you press and release the power button to wake it up.
Seems to cure my problem.
any person can help me how enable volume buttons when device is locked ?
rom: ROMeOS ver.1.70.3
Hello everyone,
because power button seems to be a little irksome, is there any other way to "wake up" my phone ? For example with "home" icon ?
Nowadays my power button doesn't work properly indeed and have to push it enough to "wake up" my phone.
Does anyone has the same problem ?
Had the same problem, sent phone to HTC UK (since I live in Malta) and got the button replaced for free.
I now use No lock to wake the phone from trackball and lock widget to lock it
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.
Hi guys, I have searched for awhile but with no luck. I am looking for an app that will turn my home or search button into an unlock key.
When the phone is locked I just long press the home or search key and my phone unlocks. I don't really like pressing the power button.
Thanks!
those buttons are non functional until you press the power button. they're not physical buttons so they can't be used for what you want
Tap tap app works with the proximity sensor to wake up and turn off the screen of the phone ( kinda like using the force ). When you wake the screen just unlock using the normal screen ring to middle swipe.

Fix broken power button app?

Currently testing out this app....
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.splunchy.android.keyguard&feature=order_history
Just played around with it and this app actually UNLOCKS the phone. No more swiping needed to unlock the ring, even though the lockscreen is cool an all. This can be disabled if you do enjoy the lockscreen app .
This app does skip that but right now unsure on how it affects battery.
Hey, quick question in regards to the Tap Tap app. I've been using it and so far fine, but wondering if this wears out the proximity sensor in any way? Red light kind of always on? Or am I being a bit paranoid?
