Home button question - Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any setting that will change it so that the home button won't wake up the phone to the lock screen? Somehow the is stupid as phone keeps getting woken up and i have a million screenshots. This is annoying as hell.

Not yet. A dev will have to make a mod for it.

Would using an Xposed Module be an option for you?

"Disable Wake Home button" is actually a selectable option in the Wanam Xposed module, along with a few others I've come to consider pretty invaluable.

I'm looking for a solution to the Home Button wake as well. Wanam isn't an option for me because once it's installed you can't fully uninstall it.

I need a solution which does not require root. I cannot have my phone rooted because it is tied to my corporate email / mobile iron. But I really need to turn off the home wake up. Seems stupid that Samsung still hasn't given us the option to turn this off. Someone should start a petition.

[APP] Lock 2.0 unusable on Nexus One

I have had the payed version of Lock 2.0 since there was an option to buy but since I got my Nexus One it has now become pretty much unusable. The sad part is that it is better than the lock button that is on the top of the phone cause it lets you bring up the lock screen by pressing your track ball. I love all the different back grounds and sounds you can download and how they stay in a folder and not in your app draw (which is really annoying). Now the thing I don't like is that when you press the volume buttons when the phone is locked you can and will turn down or up the volume on accident and this is why this app is now unusable. Can it really be that hard to add an option to disable these buttons? I have emailed Android Apps and they say the reason the volume button does that is for when you are listening to music and thats great but whats the use if when you get a call or text and you can't hear it cause you turned the volume down to 0 on accident. I emailed them today again and asked if they could update their app and I hope they do. The reason I started this thread is so anybody could comment on this problem with I have to say is probably my second favorite app on the market. I will also email them a link to this thread so they can see what everybody thinks. One more thing on another lock app LockBot when you press the volume button the sound does not get turned down but I don't want to really pay for two apps that can do the same thing. Edit: OK they fixed it but their is a new problem with the home button.

What rom are you using?
Cyanogens latest has an option for trackball wake-up (and of course that mod can be applied to other roms as well) if that is indeed the biggest thing about it you like. I personally never saw the need to change my lockscreen from stock, but can understand why some people do.
I am using the stock rom, I didn't want to root this phone since you void your warranty and mine is pretty messed up I should get a replacement this week. Also I am glad Cyanogen added that and that tells you it is a problem in the stock or he wouldn't have had to improve on it. So people like me only have the option of downloading an app to get the same results. Also I have used a rooted phone before, I had been using my Google Ion rooted for about 6 months before I got my Nexus One.
Ok I just got an email from the developer and they have disabled the volume buttons by default on the new version that was fast. Now there is a weird problem where even after you set the Launcher as the default for your home button it still keeps opening Lock 2.0, its really annoying but I already told them so I'm sure they will fix it. Now if only Google would respond like this for their "Support Forums" on fixing the 3G and Touchscreen problems the world would be a better place.
I understand the issue with the volume keys. I don't listen to music so i installed the app (ringer mode locker) by kaa from the market. It overrides the system setting and locks on your choose of settings: vibrate, ringer silent etc. If you volume up or down it stays on you set point. I like if because it is not a background app using extra battery trying to monitor a set point.

Please don't critisize Google like this, 3G issues and Touchscreen problems are not simple applications in which code can be modified to turn off the "Volume" buttons.. I've noticed the employees on their forums try to solve things to the best of their abilities - but Google can not just correct everything as if it takes a small flick of the wrist, or click of a mouse...
Honestly I don't see how they will fix any 3G issue entierly without modifiying the insides of the phone.. guess I dont know enough about phones to make such a conclusion anyways.

I emailed them about this a couple of weeks ago. I told them exactly that and I got a "Steve Jobs-like" response lol..
"Something is wrong with your phone."
I even posted about it a couple of times in the Q&A section but got no responses. I'm glad to see someone on a stock ROM is experiencing the same issue because I thought it was due to using CM. Are you using an auto task-killer?

Get "KeyGuard disabler" from the market. It costs 1.49 but does exactly what you want. I'm sure there are free versions of similar software too but this is only one i've ever tried.

wow dude just tried it! works perfect! thanks man!
Meh....
After installing and trying to use it, I finally gave up. It has the potential to be by far one of the best android apps. The developer has designed programs that mesh with android so natively that I am jealous of his understanding. But even after a few reinstallations, this program never delivered. A replacement lockscreen must be more than just pretty. It wasn't sized right for the Nexus One screen and constantly froze "Updating List", even when I was just trying to unlock. The "Updating List" freeze causes a loop that just recalled the freeze when I hit home. There is no escape short of hitting menu, more, home, then selecting my home screen program. I would consider that a lock screen fail if I have to navigate a menu to select a home screen instead of sliding the sexy little slider over. I hate taking refunds from the market, but Lock 2.0 needs more work. If I see anyone saying it has been adjusted for the N1 screen and the home bug has been fixed, I'll buy it again, but until then, I'll stick with the just weather and toggle widgets.
I hear that Lock 2.0 disables notifications on the Nexus One. Does anybody know of any apps thats just as attractive as Lock 2.0 that doesn't disable notifications or freeze.. etc.. (something iphone-ish i guess)
Any news about the home button bug bypassing the lock screen in Lock 2.0?
As far as a can tell its been working good and the dev added the option to clear the home screen default if it does it again. Its pretty sad that he left it messed up for months until I sent him the link to this thread.

Thanks, but I was referring to another bug (unless I'm totally mistaken):
When you turn on your nexus and you're still on Lock 2.0 lock screen, if you press the home button, it unlocks the phone without having to use the slider.
Hope this was clear...

Maybe try this and once started install your lock screen?
Lockscreen: Agile Lock(has a free & paid version; paid is $1) - I would HIGHLY recommend this lockscreen for anyone who doesn't like the AOSP/Puzzle/Glass or just wants to use the HTC sense lockscreen(you know, the ring that has shortcuts and such). If you do choose this route you would need to follow the Androidcentral guide(http://forums.androidcentral.com/dro...en-charge.html) to remove your current lockscreen because all this app does is add a second lock to your phone, so you would need to unlock your phone twice if you want to get in. Before you do that BE WARNED this removes not only your lockscreen but your power button menu as well(you know, when you hold the power button to restart and boot into recovery). Instead it just powers your phone off, you can always re-enable your lockscreen very easily using the same guide so there's nothing to fear. This app has TONS of customization and is far superior to the zero customization the AOSP/stock locks have. I'd say the only issue this app has is the fact that you can't go to silent/sound like you can with the AOSP. Added picture(s).

I do not know is this is the same link as posted above, but this works, the only problem I have is that if you hold the power button to long it turns you phone off. Takes so getting used to, but the lock screen is history after you do this.
Entering that dialer code is one of the first things I do after flashing any ROM.
That works with ANY ROM & completely eliminates the totally useless annoying unlock screen.
Like the previous poster mentioned, it does take a little getting used to so you don't accidentally turn the phone off with the power button by holding it down too long.

Torch Light Setting

I have found a nice Torch Light setting. If you set it 'on', when the screen is off, a long-press on the Volume-Up key starts the light. A press on the Volume-Down key turns it off, and there is a configurable time-out too.
Here's what's odd: I cannot find it in the settings anywhere, but found it though adding an 'Activity' shortcut through SSLauncher (my shell of choice). This one is named TocrhLight IIRC, in case anyone wants to install the free version and try it.
I have found these Activity settings to be a huge mine of hidden features, or at least shortcuts to deeply buried settings. In this case, I think the feature is actually hidden. Room for a dedicated app just to set this setting, I feel.
Apologies if this is obvious or posted elsewhere, but I could not find it anywhere.
Hello,
thank you very much, that was what i was missing from my note 2.
I used Activity-Launcher from Play-Store to start this Setting.
Regards
Robert

Though personally I'll stick to Flashlight HD. It has a widget which is a flashlight toggle.
If you are rooted and have xposed framework installed, you can access the hidden setting via installing Wanam Xposed from the Google store.

You can download the Activity-Launcher app (as Rivendel noted) and open it. Scroll down to 'Settings'. This opens a loooooong list. Scroll waaaaay down to 'Torch Light' (there are two IIRC), and press it. The settings screen is shown. Sett the settings and 'back' to get out.

Is this working reliably for some people? For me it's not unfortunately. It usually works after I have just turned off the device, but when it's been idling for a while then I can't activate the flashlight this way. Bummer.

Since I upgraded to SM-N9005][NOTE3][KitKat 4.4.2][XXUENA6]_BoBCaTROM_EVO_v4.1 it does not work. Probably it is a bug and hopefully soon will be fixed. The corresponding setting appear in WanamXposed but does not work. Does anyone perhaps has a fix for it?

What do you mean by "does not work"? The setting page does no longer show up?
Since on the actual "working" of the torchlight things are already complex on 4.3 - the torchlight only works if the CPU is not in deep sleep! (this however probably explains why that setting is hidded).
I am still using that torchlight with a trick - since only the Power and Home buttons can wake the CPU from seep sleep I press on Power twice SLOW, and only after that I press and hold Volume Up - that way I still get to start the torchlight with a single hand :good:

I mean that thoug setting page show up, switch on, but no results. I long-press volume-up and there is no torchlight. I reached the settings in WanamXposed [hidden setting] flashlight settings but no result. I use 4.4.2 Kitkat. Probably it is no linger supported in Kitkat.

I just added a widget through widget locker, which I can interact with. Works great, power button > tap widget :good:
Using an app called Torchie, just press both 'volume buttons' together to turn on/off torch anytime. It runs as a background service and just works anytime, even when screen off (if enabled from Torchie Settings). It kinda make your phone feel like a conventional battery operated torch.

[APP] Key Plus - Change LG G3 Volume key shortcuts to any app (without root)

Hello friends, I am Naveen Naushad, an indie Android developer from India. Recently I got a G3 D855 for myself and loved the volume quick launch option while the screen is off. I came from a Galaxy Note 1 which had an AOKP ROM that allowed you to toggle flashlight by holding the volume button. I missed that feature on G3 and wanted to enable it badly, that too without root as I am pretty much happy with the device as it is.
With that in mind, I set out to develop an app that allowed this without root access and here I am with LG Key Plus. With this app you can:
Toggle flashlight with built-in option, without touching the screen
Launch any app
Execute even Launcher shortcuts such as Direct Dial, Direct Navigation and much more.
Should work on all variants of G3, even the "mini" G3 variants such as G3 Beat, Stylus, S etc.. although I not tested
The idea behind this app is to set it as the default app for Volume keypress events. You just have to do it once.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apptuners.keyplusapp
The app is completely free, without ads. Works only on stock LG ROM. Tested successfully on a G3 D855 running KitKat (V10L) and Lollipop (V20E), which brings me to...
Lollipop Compatibility
I received Lollipop update today morning and guess what? It looks like LG has hardcoded their own Camera app as the default Volume Down app. That means you can't change the Volume Down action on Lollipop. But Volume Up works great. I believe most people wanted to change only the Volume Up shortcut (from Quick Memo to something useful) as Volume Down shortcut of camera is actually quite useful.
If you liked the app, please donate and support my work. And let me know your feedback. Thank you.
Wow thanks
Can I change the vol buttons to music controls? I'm on CM12
EDIT: nvm I didn't read the part "STOCK LG ROM only"
Sorry
it doesn't work on Cloudy L Rom V2 !!
Works fine on ChupaChups rom !! U can only toggle the volume up button!! But its ok since i use the volume down for camera any way !!
Thanks dude !!
Working on stock D851 except the volume plus key doesnt work if you have the quick circle case on. It didnt work with quick memo before installing app either so it is expected.
edit: nvm, found it
Thanks, very good app...

The volume up key is designated for qmemo before this mod. If you notice it doesnt work with qcircle case too only volume down. It would probably require this to be a root app to achieve that.

That's correct. And I want to keep the app as a non-root app as I am not planning to root my G3 any soon.
For some reason the screen stays off when I use the volume down key to activate the camera. The camera app opens, I just need to double tap to wake the screen. Cloudy1.2 on D850.
That shouldn't be happening. There is specific code written to wake the screen and unlock the device, before launching the chosen app (except when it is the built in flashlight).
Could you please change the shortcut to another app and see if that wakes the screen correctly?
The build in flashlight turns off after a couple of seconds and the notification gets stuck.

The "notification getting stuck" issue will be fixed in the next update but I still haven't figured out why the flashlight turns off quickly in certain devices.
App works great to change the volume up and be able to enable torch, thanks; but when the shortcut is changed from quick memo to torch I lose the ability to use quick memo to draw on what I see in screen and save it as screenshot.
So I had to uninstall the app to be able to "draw" on the screen again.

[Q] LockScreen & DoubleTap

Is there any secret to making this work better to wake up the phone. I cannot seem to hit it right to get it to unlock. Sensitivity adjust?
I like the phone otherwise.
Tap the screen quickly and firmly in the same spot two times. I have no problems with it using that method.
Train wreck for me. Double tap is horrible! I started a return through Amazon, wondering if I should try a replacement first though. I have huge lag issues too on this phone.
I am having the problem with tap to open too. There are many reviews on Amazon detailing the same thing. I sent an email to Alcatel support asking if they would be addressing this issue. I am still deciding if I want to keep the phone.
Last couple of days I have had more instances of misses with this than I had the first couple of days. But still I feel I have had better luck with the double-tap.... than many others over here so far. Usually a firm tap, with your fingers bent and the fingernails almost hitting the glass, works pretty well. But at times, even a firm tap will not work, and I have noticed that un-setting the option ( in Settings -> Gestures ) and then setting it back again gets it going again. This and the lag with loading apps may be related , and I hope Alcatel release a 5.1 update soon.
I've only had an issue with this once and a reboot fixed it. I think in some cases people are not hitting the screen firmly and quickly. Also the may not be hitting the same spot as well. I have seen other phones that use the knock unlock gesture but with a knock code and maybe some people thought they could hit the screen where ever they wanted between the 2 knocks. I'm just guessing here.

Turning off "Turn Over to Mute" seems to help with tapping to wake screen, but not tap to shut off screen.

I believe I have found the root cause of the problem. Right after I got the phone I installed Nova Launcher. I started playing around and tried switching back to the stock launcher. Immediately the double tap feature started to work consistently. Hopefully it will STAY working and Nova will update their launcher to support the double tap feature fully.

I doubt if the launcher is the issue. When the screen is off the launcher is not in control of the phone, the OS is in control. Also, I use Nova Prime and have only had 1 problem with Double Tap To Wake in the past 8 days.

I partly agree with your statement. As I understand Nova Prime includes support for double tap. The free app does not. Using the free app I can double tap to wake the phone, but not to sleep. Using the stock launcher, both functions work perfectly. I tried installing the Google Now launcher and it was the same as the free Nova launcher. No double tap to sleep.
I am new to Xda (or forums in general), but I had tons of issues with the double tap to wake feature not working. This was a shame because everything else I loved about this phone (only other thing I would change is a slight processor boost; a Snappy 801 would be perfect). Anyways, I finally got around the issue by performing these steps:
1-In Settings, navigate to Gestures and make sure 'Turn over to mute' is unchecked and 'Turn over to activate' is disabled.
2-Don't know if this is mandatory, but I also disabled the Func shortcuts in the Lock Screen Settings as well.
3-Reboot the device and don't touch these settings again
For some reason, I think Alcatel's software was not appropriately tested with all of these functions enabled. I am not sure, I just know I am having much higher hit rates (works almost every time) after performing the above steps.
Hope it works for you guys.
Lastly, if the double tap starts having issues again, just run a reboot and it should fix it (I just had to reboot after 30+ hours of standby).

works well now, the only thing we need is ROOT, unlocked bootloader is easy to achieved on this phone.

I believe I have found the root cause of the problem. Right after I got the phone I installed Nova Launcher. I started playing around and tried switching back to the stock launcher. Immediately the double tap feature started to work consistently. Hopefully it will STAY working and Nova will update their launcher to support the double tap feature fully.

Nova has it's own double tap gesture. If you want it to turn off the screen then you will have to have it call a program like "screen off" to accomplish that. DT to wake is still handled by the lockscreen.
believe me i been looking for a way to make this double tap in look screen to work better, by accident i find out that tapping very lightly wake the phone all the time.
Double-tap not working for me. Running all stock, stock launcher.
Same here I can't get the double tap to work for anything, I tried turning off the features and func but nothing, my phone has its days where it works fine and other days where it just doesn't.

My original suggestion to fix the double tap was to reboot, but I found a much quicker way. Go under gestures and turn it off and on again. Seems to work every time it gets wonky.
i notice that D2W work almost perfect while the phone on charger ...so it may be power saving mode that make the digitizer off after several minutes???!!!
