Making the device wake with the round confirm button.

Similarly to the Iphone when sleeping, is there a way to make the screen awake? Getting to the power button is a royal pain in the wazzu!

hey i am also waiting for this one.. apparantly there is this function in diamond.. but they took it out for pro..

OMG... really?

If that´s the case, I wonder does HTC actually consider usage schemes on their phones. I mean honestly how to you unlock the phone while driving on a sunny day. Forget it.

this would be a good function

How can I disable my proximity sensor?

So I dropped my nexus 5 and the top part of the screen cracked so that the proximity sensor either no longer works or a crack is now covering it (I think its the latter) so that when I'm in a call the screen will black out as if I'm holding it up to my face no matter what even if I tap the power button. Is there anyway to disable it so that the screen is always on during calls? Im on android 4.4.4 and so far I haven't found any solutions yet other than maybe rooting my phone and disabling the hardware itself. Any other solutions?

I don't think it is possible without root, but why don't you root your nexus? it's easy enough and will fix your problem

Pocket unlocking?

Hey all,
My nexus 5 is keep unlocking itself while it's in my pocket, and doing random things like calling people, opening apps etc.
I set the pattern lock, and it helped, but from time to time I still see that screen is awake when I pick phone from pocket, sometimes it's in emergency call... Is there a "pocket mode" or something that I turned on or what's up with my phone?
Anyone else experiencing similar thing?
I hate pattern lock thing as well, but I saw that as only solution to a problem that I had.

HA..ha.ha.. Happens to me all the time. But in my case it happens only when i get a call while the phone is in the pocket. Not only does the call get rejected or accepted, but it also unlocks the phone, opens a plethora of apps and then goes back to sleep.
Now, the solution
Do you use a case? If yes, is the power button covered by the case? If yes, then you can either change your case or cut the case around the power button.
If you don't use a case, make sure your power button is not messed up! or you might have to replace the button (THE CERAMIC ONE)
Good luck let us know how it goes

Thanks for your quick answer.
I do not use case yet, looking for one these days for sure. The phone is new so I don't think that button should be replaced, it's working just fine from what I can tell. Guess that i'll have to stick with pattern and to see if some nice case can help with this problem as well.
Thank you once again.

Never once has my Nexus 5 done anything in my pocket. I'd say its your pocket's fault, not the Nexus 5

I'm running LiquidSmooth. It has an option that the screen doesn't turn on if something covers the proximity sensor. It's quite useful when your N5 is in your pocket but if it is laying on the table and I try to unlock it I need to watch out a bit

I had the same problem, fixed it with a little script I made with "tasker"
I could send it to you if you like

Double tap wake up feature

Anyone else having issue with this feature. I noticed my phone would wake up randomly in my pocket with this feature on.
I'm not sure exactly how it's even waking up as you still need to slide the bar across to unlock it. After i turned the feature off my phone wouldn't unlock itself anymore.

You would need to see if this ever happens outside your pocket, without anyone touching it. If it doesn't, perhaps you can try touching the phone through the outside of your pocket; perhaps you're doing that without noticing it.

So after two charging cycles with it off I don't see any major difference. Its just like the LG G2 for me, very minimal impact on battery life.

They should have used the proximity sensor to detect if it was in your pocket. Even manually covering the sensors up still allows the phone to be woke up.

Yeah, I had this issue too. Very annoying so so had to disable the feature. It's a shame because I liked unlocking it by tapping. Maybe they can fix it to not unlock if the proximity sensor is covered with a feature software update?

That's probably what they *should* do. I never/don't have a problem with it on my M8.
I doubt it'd use much battery life to check if it's up against something before turning the screen on.

I have same problem with waking up in pocket. And since lollipop update the new slide up to unlock has caused issues with phone activating the flashlight and messing with wifi bluetooth nfc and other quick settings. Sad I have to disable as I love this feature.

Glad I installed gravity box and had proximity sensor option for that

Case auto wake

So i got a case on ebay and its supposed to be able to wake the tablet when opening it. But it doesn't. So I ran a magnet all over the screen and I can't get it to turn off or on. Is there anything I need to enable? I looked in the settings and couldn't find anything relating to it.
