Is there a program so that when your screen is locked, you can assign one button only to wake your screen and have access to the unlock slider? Now, if any of the 4 hard buttons are pressed, it brings up the unlock screen. The problem is, when the phone is in my pocket, any one of the 4 buttons, if accidentally pressed, wakes up the screen. Then of course, I hear my phone in my pocket clicking because the heat from my leg is "tapping" the screen. I just want to have the right hard button wake the phone up.
I cant find an option in the settings for this, nor any threads that discuss it.
Thanks.
I really admire you if you're able to slide the slider with the phone in your pocket.
LOL. No, I dont slide it. Just that when in my pocket, when any one of the 4 hard buttons are pressed(accidentally), i have to press the power button to lock the screen again. A pain in the butt. I what the phone to have only one hard button, not 4, that will shut off the screen when the phone is locked.
I'd like it too.
Maybe even some old school unlocking shortcut that uses hardware key combination (e.g. Home + Vol Down), rather than slide.
The Diamond, or was it the HD, had a button on the top to wake the phone up. That was nice because it was hard to accidentally press that button when it was in your pocket.
I use pocketshield for automatically unlocking my phone when the light sensor senses light coming in. An added benefit for this is that when the phone is in my pocket and I accidentally press any button, the screen will automatically shut itself off again after 10 seconds since there is no incoming light. This tool has really made my life so much easier as it gets rid of the stupid slider thing as well; you can use the lightsensor, the motion sensor and an old school sliding mechanism to unlock your phone- brilliant stuff!
Iarapilot might have meant something else indeed. Most of WM6.1-WM6.5 have a tab in the Start->Settings->Buttons screen that allows you to choose which kind of wake-up you need: waking up by pressing the Pw-ON button or waking up pressing whatever button you want. Sudden power-on is very boring, even thought you can't make your device work as you need to slide the screen. But this is a power comsuption anyway and I wonder why previous version had this chance regardless the home screen features. I do want it!!
I think it's a matter of regkeys, somebody of us who's used to "playing" with regkeys should figure out how this feature could be resumed.
Hope you help us!!
Maybe I didnt make my point very well. I just would like to have only the R hardware key, when pressed, wake up the screen so as to be able to slide to unlock. Not 4 buttons, that when any of those are pressed, wake up the screen.
I also have the problem, I only want to have only one key to wake up not other key
Please help us
Since it's free, I add myself to the request queue Having the screen wake up only on powerbutton press could be useful to reduce to 25% the probabilityof screen turning on by accident when buttons are pressed inside the pocket. Battery saver for sure.
Same here. I've been looking for this since I first got the phone! My old kaiser could do this, surely it wouldn't be too hard to implement on the HD2?
edit: nevermind, posted in the wrong thread
I don't think any software can control that as key presses send electrical signals direct to the chip/power unit, where the "power on" circuits reside. What software can do is turn it off again if not unlocked within a specific amount of time, so battery is saved. Screen touches shouldn't be an issue either if using a lock screen.

and doesnt create any problem in normal use? u ask because if u are in call and let some other app start while talk (maybe with earphones) its quietly impossible use portrait mode because left hand always cover light sensor and screen shut down.. its the same with that app?
Did someone already found a solution? I would like such a option too. wake up only by centerbutton for instance....
Hi,
I have recently had a problem with the touchscreen. If you were to swipe your finger a lot over the screen (for example playing fruit ninja) you would be unable to use any of the bottom buttons (like the home button)
I did a little investigation work with the app 'touch test' and I have found what is happening. If you did the swiping action the first finger touch (finger one represented on blue by the app) would lock. If you were to swipe your finger again across the screen it wouldn't registered as the first finger touch, but the second. The bottom bar navigation buttons only respond to the first finger touch.
Sorry if that was confusing in short: The tf screen thinks a finger is touching the screen when it is not, and any finger that touches the screen after that would be represented as another multitouch.
As far as I see there is only one solution: Hit the power button to make it sleep and then wake it up.
I have noticed that their have been several other threads on this, none of the other users had any luck. Wiping the device doesn't help.
Has anyone else noticed this.
Thanks
Have you tried an anti-fingerprint screen protector? I'm wondering if skin grease is possibly the cause of this (I don't experience any such problems, although admittedly I don't play fruit ninja et al, and have a screen protector on).

I thought of that for a while. But when you put it into sleep and wake it up it's perfectly fine. Maybe doing that undoes all of the inputs. I'll try cleaning up the screen. I admittedly do have sweat hands
I tried searching, so forgive me if this has already been addressed, but is there a way to temporarily disable the capacitive (menu and back) buttons? Sometimes when I am playing games or watching vid's with my phone in landscape I inadvertently hit the buttons with my palm. I know on my Transformer Prime we have the option to touch a small lock icon on the screen and swipe it to lock the on screen buttons while gaming etc. I am looking for a similar method do disable these buttons so I don't keep constantly undoing my last move in solitaire!
Thanks and any help is appreciated,
Mike
hold finger - shaking
Subj ;(
If i hold my finger on the screen, scrolling shake for 1-2 pixels up/down ;(
So games like terraria or tower of hero can't do drag and drop - apps think i scroll screen , not a hold! ;(
Anyone with same problem?
I'm trying to unlock my phone by just clicking on the home button and holding my thumb there (for the fingerprint sensor), but almost every time it doesn't read the fingerprint and I have to lift my thumb and place it back down to scan. I know it's a minor issue but I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if you've managed to figure it out. Thanks
Read one thumb several times in fp settings
For me it helped a lot.

Put your finger on the scanner and wake up with the power button. For me it seems to be the movement caused by the pressing down of the home button that confuses the scanner. If the finger moves just the slightest bit during reading, then it must be lifted and put down again.
Holding the phone with one hand and pressing the home button with the finger on the other hand also works as you can press down and hold the finger more still that way. It is the one hand wake up and leaving the finger on the scanner that almost always fails for me.
The fastest one hand way for me is to quickly press the home button, lift the finger and then put it down again. This way you can be sure the finger is not moving across the scanner as it is read.
