Unlock screen via volume buttons - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Now that the kernel source is released is it possible to unlock with volume buttons? Is this being worked on?
Also, is it possible to take pictures using volume buttons?

I save my power button !

Then save and reboot, now you can't open camera with the button , but you can close and open screen with it (include power off)

So the power button calls the camera, and the camera button calls screen on/off and power on/off?

Kinda cool but why do that?..now you have to be left handed and push the power button on the side of the phone to take a picture ,right?
Unless u feel like tapping the screen which is hard to do while trying to keep the phone steady..

You can try others, but make a backup of the original file. ^ ^

Camera key Atrix 2 is suck, hard to press --> shake -> blur image
thanks! it really makes life much easier for the incipio case - where the power button is a finger killer , damn too hard to push.
I'll try it soon
edit: seems that it doesn't works for mine :\ btw there are a few more files in that folder that have the key 212 CAMERA line, should i try changing them also?
Would it be possible to map it so the camera key works as the power on/off with a short press but still start the camera app with a long press?
I agree with the Incipio case. I ended up placing some small chunks of tape on the buttons before getting it in the case. It makes it so there's less travel needed to make contact.
Get zmooth pro, is has more solutions for you

Sometimes it will happen, perhaps camera button is working on wake time.
So, you can use camera btn to close screen.

Can we have slide to wake like htc does?
I guess it will save our hard button.

I think the camera button (after some time on sleep) still wants to call for camera, rather than wake. If I use the power button to wake, then sleep via camera button, that works. I can then wake via camera button and sleep, but if left in sleep more than 5 minutes or so, the camera button won't wake....

is there any other ways to unlock the note 10.1 without using power button?

as title, is there any alternative ways to unlock the devices without using the power button? for now, i am using screen off and lock which is able to switch off and lock the note screen, but still need to use the power button to wake it up. so just wonder is there any kind of apps like tap tap which is using the proximity sensor or another physical key to unlock the device?
With CM10 you can unlock with volume buttons. But it's not ready to use on Note 10.1 yet.

In the camera app, open the menu and scroll to the bottom; the option should be there

Volume rocker problem

Sometimes my volume rocker doesn't work to change the volume of my ringer. I'm at the home screen and attempting to mute or raise my volume and it doesn't work. I have to some times restart but most times it fixes itself after I turn the screen off.

Are you using a custom ROM? It sounds like a software glitch if the phone fixes itself once the screen is turned off or the phone is restarted.

Looks like a factory reset is in order then.
I agree with @drdagreenphd. Factory reset should fix this issue and if it doesn't then you should send the phone back in for a warranty replacement.
