Maybe I made a wrong question. When you hold the phone on hand and you move it from left to right, objects on screen remain alligned with the floor. It's quite annoyng and it doesn't work as well....
Ha ha that sounds great. It didn't happen with mine

The home screen tilts if I move the phone. I hate thing thing!
any chance of a vid or photo of this? I've never known anything like that before.
from what i gather, he's saying that the software image is staying aligned with the horizon when he moves his phone. so if he tilts his phone at 45 degrees, sense will still be in line with the horizon, where as you or I would need to tilt our heads at 45 degrees to see it aligned properly....get it?

two days ago i tested on the dhd a coocked rom, Rmix i think, that came with sense 3.0. It has the same thing, that I assume is a standard feature of the sense. I cannot believe you don't see it. Try to move the phone from left to right in the home screen: I can see the edge of the clock, in the meteo widget you see the moon or the sun in 3d. At a first sight it's amazing, but now, when i switch on the phone the screen is not aligned.....

That....my friend...is amazing!!!!
Keep it! It looks great!!!!!
This may seem like something small to some but this is a huge feature in this phone that I was not aware of and noticed a lot of people I knew were not aware of.
With our infuse if you are watching a video you can press the power button on the side of the phone and it will lock the screen completely, you can't hit the menu or hit home by accident or anything. I have 3 kids and I couldn't tell you how many times they "accidently' backed out of the video player and either moved apps around or called people or what. So if this helps even 1 other person it was worth it. Enjoy!!!
thanks for the tip!
but dont try this if you watching porno, you cant turn down the volume or go back to home screen quickly. haha

soooo true, thats also why I love my mac, four finger swype up, everything gone, LOL
What an awesome find! Thank you. How many times haven't I handed my Infuse over to show a video and something gets pushed in the hand off?!?!
Thanks for the great tip. One thing I found though is this works with the standard video player but not with Real Player.
This also works while video recording btw.

It also works on the camera. I dont understand why though. If you have the camera open, why would you want to lock the screen so it stays there keeping the screen on. Im sure theres a good reason, im just not aware of it
now i wish they would add like double tap the power button would like it at anytime. Like when your playing a game or browsing so you don't "accidently" send yourself home like I do all the time lol. But this is a start
Guys, when i put a JB ROM, when i make one call, the screen turns black, and the proximity sensor don't work. I only have this black screen, and i'm unable to use the keyboard and even hang up. Sometimes i have to press the power button until the phone turn off.
How to solve this ?

No problem! Glad it worked - I remember how frustrating it was when I stumbled across this issue myself.
Out of curiosity, did you end up using the same settings I used? Or did you have to use something different?
for me worked well in PS1 50 and PS2 60.
Last night I noticed my power button sometimes would not lock my screen on my phone. Even when it would, it would lock and quickly bring the screen back on. Even sometimes occasionally I would press the button once quickly and the power off/reboot menu would appear. This morning I found a tab for my quick settings panel that puts the phone into sleep and have been using it all day. This has been a real pita. Now my phone as I am using it randomly sleeps and then brings up the power menu. Is there any way to replace the power button? I found barely anything on YouTube on this and and not sure if it is an easy or hard fix. For now, is there an app that I can disable my power button so my phone does not make me rage?
-Thanks

You can buy a power button, but replacing it ...you need skill and tool (not recommend for an average user). Try to bang the button on a hard plastic surface like washer/dryer surface. A number of people reported success with this method.(this is real, not a joke),

Hmm.. I tried your method to fix it and it seems to have done nothing :/ thanks for the idea though. Also, do you know if any cellular companies would fix this part? I am rooted running the latest CM 11 nightlie and would like to not have to factory restore.

On the website you linked the repair cost is $150. I am not looking to spend near that. And the closest repair store near me is a little under an hour and a half away :/ Also, do you know of any apps to disable my power button?

That does not seem like very much fun. Haha but I believe my phone is still under warranty (maybe?) So would you know how to unroot and install a stock clean rom with a home button that does not work? :/

I have to test it out first, but I think I can disable the power button, however, it's only a work around, you need to replace the button for a permanent solution. If under warranty, it's the best way to go.

Yeah, I'm thinking of doing the warranty but with a broken power button I'm not sure of how this will work :/

That is the problem, I cannot unroot without a power button.
Why not, just open the supersu app and pick uninstall from one of the option.
