Hello there,
Just trying to figure out if there is a button on the keyboard dock that wakes up the screen. I seem to have pressed every key on it but haven't had any luck.
Is pushing the power button on the tablet the only way to wake the screen? Is there a setting I am missing that will let me wake it from the keyboard as well? Thanks!

Under power saving or battery settings, there's the option to select "Wake screen on keyboard press" (or something. Can't check atm, my battery is empty.) Check that.

Ah, just found it under power management. Hmm, says that it takes more power to use this feature. I'm wondering how much that will drain my battery by having this feature enabled. Didn't realize it would use more power just to enable this.
Thanks!

It takes more power because your keyboard needs to stay "awake" all the time to get ready when you hit the key to turn the screen back on.

All I do is fold the screen and then pull it up again, this way I never have to use the power button.

I am in love with the functionality of Slide2Unlock but it seems to eat memory like crazy and cause weird issues on every ROM I have used (WizardG3).
Does anyone have a locking application that requires pressing the power button to activate the screen and then hold the d-pad for a second to unlock?
I can't always be tapping the screen with my finger or taking the time to get the stylus out.
Hi Xoom, sorry I want to ask you a question instead answering your question.
You asked, "Does anyone have a locking application that requires pressing the power button to activate the screen and then hold the d-pad for a second to unlock?"
Does it mean using Slide2Unlock, I could wake the phone from standby only by tapping the screen, without pressing any button?
Thanks.
Hi
Which version of S2U you are referring to? Version 1 or 2? V.2 now only occupy 1MB of RAM.

Currently with slide2unlock (v2) Using the D-Pad you can unlock the phone or you can use the slider on the touch screen, both to bring the phone into an unlocked state (displaying the today screen)
I notice it runs with 1mb of memory. Maybe it's just a scapegoat along with Voicecommand running at 1mb but something is killing the performance on my phone and having it lock up all the time.
I think I just need a new/custom version of wm6.

But can it wake the phone from standby (screen completely off) only using the touchscreen?

No, Sorry for the confusion, I have to push the power button then use the d-pad or touch screen to unlock. If it were possible, I don't think I would like that solution, I figure the phone would be getting "touched" in my pocket all the time.

I was thinking maybe only parts of the screen that is "touchable", so it's not always getting "touched" and would save some batt. And even if it's being "touched", it's still locked and it won't do any unwanted action... at least.
I guess, I'm getting paranoid with the button. But someone's confirming it:
"Naturally I set it to the power button, but after a while, that button got worn down and stopped "working" so I naturally set it to recognize any other button.
This experience has taught me the hard way, that its a good choice to have (or maybe even a necessity in some cases) that other buttons to wake the unit up in case of situations like this."

I know we could remap the button, however, it is still pushing the button. Eventually, it could wear the button off.
Su2u has a sweet config app translated to most languages, and has a lots of config options, look into that..
Does this tablet have haptic feedback? I don't have any whatsoever with screen taps. I have none at all with the ASUS onscreen keyboard. I have barely perceptible feedback using the stock Android keyboard. But for whatever reason I get feedback when I power on and power off. Is this normal performance for the TF700 or is this tablet defective?
Can somone tell me when (or if) you have haptic feedback with your tablet?
From my experience yes, on my tf700 as well as my prime both device vibrated upon turning on/

Mine vibrates while turning on as well - but virtually nothing else. With the onscreen keyboard, I can hardly tell the difference with haptic feedback on or off.
If you turn on pin number unlock there's a setting for vibration on the number keys. Try setting it and see if you can feel that.
The on-screen buttons vibrate, but its very faint. Easy to not notice. I dont think the keyboard vibrates at all, but that's easily fixed by installing a 3rd party with more customizable settings.

I think its because this tablet is so heavy. My old prime had pretty strong haptics.

Its definitely a settings thing. Probably to avoid stress if you use the on-screen buttons while docked. My on-screen keyboard (thumb keyboard) could be set to some pretty strong vibration.

Hello, I was having the same issue so I thought I might chime in. Go to settings, language and input, then it depends on the keyboard you are using. Let's say the Asus one. Click the settings button next to the Asus keyboard option. Turn on vibrate on key press. If you are using the superior SwiftKey keyboard, click on the settings button next to that one. Then navigate to the advanced tab. Click audio and haptic feedback. Make sure haptic feedback is turned on. Then set the haptic duration to anything over 55,if you don't you will not feel the key press for some reason. Hope that helps!

If it vibrates on power up/down then it is working... the C7 I got from Best Buy it wouldn't vibrate at all, keyboard , moving apps around, power up or down. Even after toggling the setting , nothing, I had to take it back.
Thats what you should do. Chose Android keyboard, check Vibrate on keypress, go to Advanced settings and set Keypress vibration duration settings to 100ms.
Is there anyway to remove the circle that pops up when pressing the home button via the tablet? I am referring to the circle that has the other circle that says Google in it. I suppose one could call it an alternative route to Google Now/Search.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using xda app-developers app
Only time I saw that circle was when I didn't change the method of locking the tablet. And now that I use a password, Pressing home (both on screen and in dock) does nothing if the tablet is already unlocked. When locked they also do nothing until the password is keyed in....
Do you have any other intention for long pressing the Home key? I ask this because the Google Now shortcut only shows on a long press. It doesn't appear when you simply tap the key to go Home, so it's not going to bother too many people.
Ahhh, so that's it. I'm guessing the OP needs to change he long press timeout to medium or long to prevent this from happening....
I already have mine set to medium, so that's why I didn't see it. It didn't occur to me to long press.
@OP: Settings --> Accessibility --> Touch & hold delay - change to medium / long. You're inadvertently long pressing the home button and that is why you're seeing what you're seeing.
Okie dokie. It doesn't affect performance or anything but I don't use that method when opening Google Now so I didn't like having it pop up every time.

I have noticed since yesterday's Jelly Bean update (4.1.1) that if you have an app open (say a browser for example) and you let your screen timeout, when you press the home button it will turn the screen on screen up and take you back to your home screen. Used to with ICS it would just turn the screen on and you could continue in the app. Now it takes you all the way back home and you have to re-open the app to continue in it.
I was wondering if everyone is getting this same result or if it is just me.
Thanks!
I just tried it with Google Now and it returned to the app. I tried the Android browser and it returned the app as well. You might want to power down, pull the battery, then restart. Updates can sometimes act a little wonky at first. Occasionally (and unfortunately) a hard reset can FINALLY make an update work correctly.
Fixed this issue on my phone. The solution for me was to set up S-Voice, then go into it's settings and check the 'open via home key' option. After this, pressing the home key once simply wakes up the screen instead of also taking it to the home screen. Hope it works for you too!
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Yea, that fixed it. I don't like S-Voice so I had that option turned off. Apparently it works different with this update then it did with ICS.
I've actually went in there and enabled that option then went into Application Management and disabled S-Voice. Now, if I accidently double tap my home button it just goes to a black screen for a second then back to the home screen. (Better than opening up S-Voice)
Thanks for your help!
I've found if you use a pattern password the home button "feature", to go back home works like how it used to
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Nice find! Now my dilemma is, whether the added "lag" when single tapping the home button is not as annoying as being taken to the home screen when pressing the home button after the screen times out. Having the double tap for S-Voice setting disabled speeds up that home button responsiveness.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I find the lag to be to annoying when s-voice is enabled. A fast press of the power button will wake up the phone without closing the app you are using and you can keep s-voice turned off.

grr, I couldnt agree more. I turned off that feature to reduce home button lag in ICS, now it closes any app open. Hopefully theres a fix
We'll find out. I dislike these small, unnecessary changes that Samsung has implemented. Horizontal pinch to expand notifications is another unnecessary change on VRBLK3.

I feel your pain i also suffer from this same problem i had ics stock rom upgraded to hpyer drive rl14 and after that my home button only wakes up to a long press nothing seems to work i even reassigned soft keys functions so home would do back option and same thing,
The new m8 just got root, and I'd like to see if anyone could fix the issue i have with the hardware key placement. Specifically, the position of the power button annoys me quite a bit. On the old One it was at least accessible through your index finger, but the m8 must have been designed by lefties!
I'm looking for a module that would swap the function of the power key with the vol+ key to see if that will fix my little hangup with this phone. No pun intended.
Thanks!

I'm also not a fan of the power button being switched. At least we can double tap the screen to unlock. Cuts down the usage a bit.

Agreed, but it doesn't help when wanting to lock it quickly with one hand after the phone has already been unlocked. I'm more interested in that function than waking it. But glad to see I'm not alone in this.

I use this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock in tandem with Nova Launcher and just assign a gesture to it which in turn will turn the screen off and lock. Works great.
I just use gmd gesture control to do a three finger downward swipe to shut the device off.

For my purposes, I'm trying to find a one-handed solution. So 3 fingers is no help when the phone is in-hand. But thanks for sharing your idea!

What I did was use gravitybox > navigation key actions and then set back key long press to go to sleep. Works perfect but I am left handed so you might want a different key.

This is how I do it. Just a single finger swipe upwards shuts my screen off, then a double tap turns it back on. Works great for me!
Now if only someone could figure out how to get double tap (to wake) working in landscape mode.
Hey guys -- I just posted a fresh thread for this, but since I assume you all have weaksauce+xposed working...
After my soft-reboot to install xposed, wifi would not turn on. Did anyone else have anything similar happen?
I did weaksauce, phone off/on, install xposed, full reboot (accidentally), enable xposed, soft reboot, then no wifi when the phone came back up.
Any ideas?
