Button lock not working as it should

Thanks

I'm not sure how it's called in english rom, but in the settings system tab you should have somthing like "key lock" or somthing like that, there you can set optio to not to block keys when device is suspended
Thats what I have tried. It doesnt matter what option I set this to it always does the same thing; I always have to use the power button to wake up the device.
Is nobody else having a problem with this? Let me give a clearer explanation of the problem. I have set "Do not lock buttons" in Settings->KeyLock yet when my device is on standby the only way to wake it up is to press the power button. I would like to be able to press any button to get it awake. How can I do this?
Thanks

Oh well, looks like I am going to have to live with this behaviour

My Polaris does not behave like this. I have set the Key Lock to "Lock Buttons if Device is locked". And now I can wake the Polaris with any buttons as long as it was not locked before going to standby.
I have the same problem, but it is with my AT&T Tilt w/Q-Mobile rom.
If anyone cares at this point, reinstalling the rom fixed this problem for me.
I have no issue to this option. I used to select not to lock button but I turn on my phone by tapping the camera button accidentally when I put back my phone into the belt clip. Therefore I stop choosing this option and lock all button except the power button to turn on my phone.

App to Lock Screen, and not always when pressing power button?

Currently I have my Android phone setup to use a numeric pin to lock the device. Unfortunately this means everytime the phone goes to idle (or directly by me pressing the power button) I have to enter the pin to use the phone. There are many instances when I don't want to have to do so, such as while driving when I want to be able to quickly and more safely glance at the phone.
Basically I want to lock the phone on an as needed basis, by simply tapping on an app on the homescreen (or perhaps even a different key combination e.g. volume up + power button). Does such a thing exist?
Power Control Plus works exactly as you described. You can toggle the lockscreen with the press of a widget:

Additionally, I like Unlock w/ WiFi, its automated:

Ummm widget locker
I have been using Tap Tap App to do this.
Screen Off and lock is perfect.
But I think there is still a problem when unlocking ur screen, u still need to press the power button...
No Lock can help on keeping ur screen off but not lock, so that u can press other buttons to trigger ur phone. But it seems that after reboot, the app is not working>.<
thanks for the suggestions! I'll give them all a try.

[Q] Wake to unlock

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
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App
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?

Long home press button doesn't let me see notifications

I updated to the latest software version yesterday and since then when the screen is off and I long press the home button to turn it on it redirects me to the pattern unlock instead of showing me the lock screen with the time and notifications. Is a bit annoying as I pressed the home button before just to see the time or if I had new notifications and now I can't.
I have searched through the options but haven't seen anything.
Is there anyway to make it turn the screen on to the lock screen instead of the pattern input?
Turn off long press home button to unlock.

That was it! I saw the option but I thought I had to let it be turned on so long pressing the home button actually worked.
Thanks!
