Single press device Lock

Folks, any idea how to switch off the screen / lock the keyboard without the need of double press the red power button?
This is kind of bothering cause when you're in a application and need quickly to put your Treo into your pocket, you need to press 1st to get to the home-screen and 2nd to switch off.

Yeah, seems to be something new with the 750 (no other treo before did this). Palm set this up purposely, so I wouldn't assume there's a workaround for it. You'll get used to double clicking

Not that I know
I have used it for ages and found many shortcuts but no "quick lock".
Sorry

How about getting an application that device locks your phone upon return from standby? I use BatteryStatus Today Plugin by Chi Tai Dang.. This plugin has the option to lock device on wakeup and set cpu speed(I use this a lot)..
But mine's a wizard, what do I know about Treo.. but what I do now is, press the power button to get the phone to go into standby and when I want to use it again, I press the power button and it will device lock upon wake up.

I don't have a Treo. How do you initiate said keyboard lock normally?

"Device lock" that you may know of isn't used on Treo's. Palm uses their own "keyguard," which uses the red END button as a power button when not on the phone. If you are on the today screen, one click will shut the device off. However, if you are in another program, the first tap brings you to the today screen, and the second click turns the screen off (and the keyguard on if you have selected it to be that way). On all other treo's, WM or POS, one click of the end button would shut the screen off (unless you were on the phone obviously, it would be the END function), regardless of what program you were in. Palm changed this, I assume, to be like most cell phones, where when you press the END key it returns to the home screen, regardless of what you were doing. Like a RAZR would do.
Thats the best way I can explain it. You would be surprised Vijay on how many customizations Palm made to the OS.

Yes, I've heard that they did - thank Goodness one of the OEMs finally saw fit to do something original.
Hmm.. from what you describe, clicking twice doesn't seem like a very big chore... I did something similar in VJOkButt. Is it really necessary to convert the 2 clicks to 1 click? Investigating it barely seems worth the effort

I agree, hence my original post.
When you are on the today screen, it works normally. And you can double-click quite rapidly and it will work. Not a big deal for me.

yes guys, its not that dramatical, but still, it would be an improvement also considering that I want to stay in that one application (a note which I'm editing) and want to get there after waking up the device again without the need of again starting application, look for the last note, opening etc...
with HTC hermes and others the power button works exactly like this and its even better.

Hi all,
If you're using it two handed hold option (the white key, left hand end of row 3) and press the red button once - closes the app and powers off.
But you need an odd-shaped hand to do that one handed!

It is not that the double click isn't easy to do, it's waht fire00 said; if you are in an app, it closes it and then powers off. Case in point, this weekend while driving to a friend's house, I had directions in my email and would have liked to have turned off the phone, but then I would have to find the email again and open it up. On my Wizard, i would just turn it off and then back on and the email would be there for me.
Gotta be a reg hack for someone to find.

On my device, that method doesn't close the app. It just locks the keyboard and then powers off. When I power on again, the app is still running and on screen. I think that's what fire00 was looking for.

Sorry PJC ACE, my mis-type - using option + red button powers the device off WITHOUT closing the app - just like the power button on the Wizard ;-)
My apologies!

GUYS YOU'RE ABSOLUTE TREO-EXPERTS !!!!!
thanks a lot, going to dance with the Treo cause I'm so haaapyyy !! )))

Option (hold)+Red Phone button is a nice alternative, but I'd really like to find a way to prevent the Red Phone from reverting to the Today screen, so I can power off directly with it with one press...Vodafone's excuse for specifically asking for it this way (every other phone's "End" button brings you back to the "home" screen) is ridiculous, these aren't like every other phone.

I installed HTC home plugin and now my red button wont let me go into standby. I uninstalled and still not working. Any ideas?

Side Button + Suspend
There is a thread at TreoCentral that explaines how to activate the side button and make it available for button assignment in the settings screen.
Second there is a small program called suspend.
I have mapped the 1 press of the side button to suspend and away we go.
1 - Click keyguards/screen off.
Also it resume in the place or program you left when you unlock it.
Regards

I need help

2 quick questions, they might be something simple sorry but I dont know how to get this to work.
1) How do you unlock your phone without the stylus? I know if you hold the end call key for 3 secs it locks it but I want to unlock the phone without the stylus. I hate ejecting it so the power goes on and then I can slide my finger on the "Lock Icon" left or right to unlock the phone.
2) How do you change the "Lock" Icon mapping? By that I mean its located at the top and I would like to move it to the bottom or middle. Once somehow automatically it was located in the middle and then I rebooted my phone and it went back to the top again.

I don't understand question 1 are you saying you take the styles out to turn the phone on? why don't you use the power button at the top? Then use your finger when it turns on to unlock it. I will admit i don't use the lock fetcher
But i think i understand the second question to move it to the bottom, go to start/setting/today/Items this will have a list of "icons" you have on the main screen select the Device Lock and move it to the bottom of the list. this should move it to the bottom and you are done.

1) you can unlock your phone without pulling your stylus out. press the power button to turn the screen on and then press unlock on the bottom left softkey followed by the confirmation on the center right side of the screen.
on the otherhand what you're asking for is called S2U (slide to unlock) which is an app the mimicks the iphone's lock interface
2) what mapping are you talking about? on the tf3d where the app tab is at? if so, then you just move it by using diamond tf3d tweak OR manually deleting the app and relocating it to where you want it.

Cool thanks for the help on question 1 I didnt know that.
For question 2 the same thing, do you know when the phone is locked and you have that icon that you have to slide left or right so that you can access the main menu on your phone (has the time, contacts, view messages, email etc.). That little bar that reads slide and has a padlock icon in the middle of it. That little button I want to reallign it in the screen. It happened once but I didnt press or change anything for it to happen, it just did.

Bump .

One touch _ power off

POWER OFF​
Only touch that you have turned off the screen. Small and useful software for two versions : Blue & Red Power icon.​

Little confusing. Is this for turning off device or screen?

screen, I think...

yep it is working fine! that was the only thing i had missing on my homepage.
Many thanks for the cab

I installed the red button cab and cannot find any app anywhere.
It ain´t in the start/programs.
Also did a softreset.
How to add?

well if you are adding a shortcut in your homepage...clickon programs and then should be there under power off

Hi,
screen off can be done by pressing one key
But real power off for the hole device would be an improvement because now you need to press long and then choose shut down
any plans to offer that funcionality to the good looking red button
Cheers

[Q] To Use Volume Button To Wake Up

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?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium

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.

I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1293967

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.

[Q] Lock screen management

Hi guys
Just a reall quick question
I have the [ROM] CM10.1-RC2 AOSP 4.2.2 Jellybean [KANG] [May-17] installed on my sensation
I was playing around with the lock screen and noticed you can add different functions to new windows (swipe left or right)
I added a few but now have an issue where the main lock screen now is a short cut to my torch and not the normal weather / time screen
What I have found is sometimes I have unlocked the phone in my pocket by mistake and the torch has been activated, not good for battery life
My questions are:
1) Is it easy to define which is the default lock screen window (so I can change it back to weather / time), or
2) How can I delete short cut windows that I have added. (I am not talking about the icons you can swipe to)
Thanks for any help, suggestions
You guys rock

hi, just for lockscreen, Go to settings -> security -> pattern
Make your own pattern then dont forget it... Your phone will never Unlock itself..
For your second problem i dont know what to do, sorry

For your second question, touch and hold the screen you want to delete, and then swipe up on the delete button to delete that frame.

Cheers 318 that did the trick
For others,from the LOCK screen if you press on the screen and hold it a recycle bin appears at the top, you can then drop your newly added lock screens to the bin
problem sorted i guess,
thx for your help
