Hello.
After using the phone for some hours, the "tap to wake" cover screen doesn't wake the screen.
Neither do the double press on the side button for taking a picture..
Notifications and calls show up like normal.
Is this just me or?
Did you remap tye side key? Are you using Bixby? Is aod enabled? Did you try a restart?
Did not remap key, double press is photo, hold down is turn off. Bixby sucks, so no. Aod is enabled but not on the front screen. Restart solves the problem, but it has happened 2 days in a row now.

i dunno if any of you notice this. when you press the right most button, with the red end call key, the phone goes into standby, but did not go into lockscreen. when you press any button, the screen lights up in home screen and the next second the lock screen kicks in.
i am wondering is it possible to tweak and make it such that when u press the button, the screen will go into lockscreen first before the screen blackout. i guess we can't have the screen blackout and going into lockscreen together since going into standby, app wouldn't run either.
Just that i prefer to lockscreen first rather than when i wake it up, it goes into lockscreen and i have to unlock it.
That will depend on the ROM. At least on the HD2 this will happen if you disable automatic backlight. Did you do that?
Hit start and then hit lock on the bottom left.
Hi guys, I have searched for awhile but with no luck. I am looking for an app that will turn my home or search button into an unlock key.
When the phone is locked I just long press the home or search key and my phone unlocks. I don't really like pressing the power button.
Thanks!
those buttons are non functional until you press the power button. they're not physical buttons so they can't be used for what you want
Tap tap app works with the proximity sensor to wake up and turn off the screen of the phone ( kinda like using the force ). When you wake the screen just unlock using the normal screen ring to middle swipe.

Sounds cool gonna test it out!
Thanks
EDIT:
Tried it, did not like it, any other ideas guys?
Fix broken power button app?

Currently testing out this app....

Just played around with it and this app actually UNLOCKS the phone. No more swiping needed to unlock the ring, even though the lockscreen is cool an all. This can be disabled if you do enjoy the lockscreen app .
This app does skip that but right now unsure on how it affects battery.
Hey, quick question in regards to the Tap Tap app. I've been using it and so far fine, but wondering if this wears out the proximity sensor in any way? Red light kind of always on? Or am I being a bit paranoid?
Hey there,
I am looking for a way to remap my power button to launch a shortcut.
My goal is to make Tasker hibernate all 'greenified' apps, and turn off the screen when I press the power button.
This way I can turn off automatic hibernation in Greenify, and only 'greenify' apps when I explicitly turn off my screen, and not when it times out.
I've looked into several apps, but they all lack the ability to either remap the power button, or making it launch a shortcut.
I am running CyanogenMod 11 on my Samsung GT-I9300.
Hope someone could help me out!
You really don't want to do anything that would make you use the power button more. That is the first thing to die and you've got problems if it does. Much better to map a soft button or gesture to do what you want.
I thought about your comment, but it won't make me use the button more, because I use it anyway to lock my phone.
But nevertheless I could try to use it less. The problem is I use touch to wake the screen, and only if I lock it with the power button touch wil not wake the screen. If I wear the phone in my pocket, my leg wakes the screen trough the pocket.
I now made two profiles. One with proximity sensor, screen off and orientation upside down. And one the same, but orientation face down.
This way it will greenify apps when I put the phone in my pocket, standing or sitting.
I might look into gestures because then the sensors won't have to run when the screen is off saving me some precious juice am I right?
Still like to hear about remapping hw keys.
you can remap your power button here
System/usr/keylayout
then edit with text editor "Generic.kl"

Can I also map a shortcut to it? And do I have to remap again after an update?

I accidentaly found out that there's a difference between the 'Tasker lock system' and the 'Secure Settings lock' actions.
With the Tasker action, touch to wake still works, but with the Secure Settings one it won't.
I now set up two profiles, screen on + proximity + upside down and screen on + proximity + face down. These greenify all apps and turn my screen off with Secure Settings. Also long pressing the menu (touch)key will do the same.
This way, when I put the phone in my pocket it will lock the screen and not wake up when still in my pocket.
But if I leave it face up and the screen times out my apps won't be greenified. I also made a double tap gesture in Nova Launcher that turns my screen off by the default Tasker system lock, so I can wake it by touch and my apps won't greenify.
Not really the idea that I started with, but maybe even better!

Is there any way to disable the home button on the lock screen? I can make it not show up but pressing where it was still wakes the phone up.
Would also like to know this.
At least 5 times a day I take my phone out of my pocket and the flashlight is on. I also accidentally turn it on a lot while pressing the power button. 8 have disabled every gesture in the menu, but can't figure out how to disable the flashlight from turning on when I long press the power button.
I'm rooted on the latest update. I'm willing to remove the flashlight completely if that's the only answer, but I was hoping there was a way to remap the power button long press. I've tried a few button remapping apps, but they haven't detected power button long press.

Sounds like you may have the active edge magisk module installed? That is not typical behavior for the power button. What rom are you running?

Thank you very much jmtjr278. Your reply lead me to the right direction. It was the Dark Tricks Xposed module. I had installed a few modules as soon as I got the phone, but never went through their settings, and completely forgot they were even there. Much appreciated.
