I have the setting where the device doesnt go into sleep mode checked but can still press the power button on the side when the device is in my pocket, is there any form of method or hack that can disable this from happening?

Guys,
Do you know of a WM5/WM6 utility that will lock the keypad controls when the screen goes blank after 5 mins on my Trinity? What I would want to happen is that I press either the power button to take it out of standby mode and activate all keys again as it is hen its in my pocket the buttons get pressed and aspects like the start menu or contacts open automatically.
What i want is like on the Orange C500 where you press * enter or something to activate the keypad.
Cheers

Simply go to your settings-system.key lock. There you can enable this function without a tool!
you can try an utility for vijay555 at www.vijay555.com, it locks by phone with the standard lock utility (the today plugin included by default) and turns off the screen, you can assign it to a key to have both things done automatically.
when you power on the device, you will have to unlock it to get the phone pad activated.
The default keylock does not work! It locks the softkeys but it does not lock the hard keys on the control pad as they often get touched and do things like access contacts etc when i do not want them too!!!
The default Keylock works for me- Orange SPV M700 with WM6 MunRus ROM- selecting 'Lock all keys except power key when off' also disables the navigation and phone keys.
It needed a couple of soft resets for it to take though.
tried that and it does not work?
or use the Slide2Unlock, it works excellent.
I configured it to lock when Light is dimmed, and then turn of the screen after 15 seconds, but without putting device in standby.
Then I disabled standby in the Power panel.
I also assigned to manually start it when pushing the button next to the power button.
So now I can start the music player, push that button and it will keep on playing. and to get back, I push the power button and slide finger over screen.
Done.
Real handy.
Don't forget to give some coffee to developer.
where is that utility?

anyway to have a hermes device wake from sleep using any button?
that would work nicely with s2u2
discover your device
an important thing you should keep into consideration is that with WME you don't own only a phone but a simplified personal computer in addition.
surf your device and discover its abilities!
Hint: your device has a "Programs" folder and also "Settings".
Details: check Settings->System->Key Lock
I have done something like what you say, but the problem is that the buttons *also* activate the feature of the button you press. I think you just want all buttons to pull up s2u2.
I also would think that touching the screen should pull it up, but when you finally work out how to get that to work (it will), you end up killing your battery.
Hi
I am not able to get the device to go into sleep mode (blank display) by touching the power button unless its at the lock screen. Depressing the power button does nothing, other than to activate the quick menu unless pressed for a few seconds. The only time I am able to get the device to sleep via the power button is when the screen has timed out (based on settings) and before the screen in unlocked, otherwise I just have to wait for the screen to timeout.
I cant seem to find anything that would prevent the device going to sleep via the power off button, any suggestions?
Does this happen all the time or only while the phone is charging, as there is a setting that keeps the screen awake while the phone is charging:
Settings>Applications>Development
happens all the time, and I am aware of the stay awake feature during charging
If you're using a custom rom it may have something to do with that. Maybe the key isn't mapped or set correctly. Other then that, that's a pretty odd issues.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Sounds like some buggy program is keeping a wake_lock longer than it should. (The way games and ebook readers keep the screen lit/phone awake).
Had you installed anything new before this started?
When trying to set my Desire into standby mode by pressing the power button it switches on the display again at once. Even trying some other ROMs doesn't fix the problem.
Does anyone know why and has a solution for this problem?
Your power button might be damaged. Look for a screen lock app on the playstore and use it to put your device to sleep instead of using the power button.
via xda app
Same with such an app. Display comes back again.
Volume button sems to be active too cause after display comes back sometimes the volume setting "sound " appears .
No idea or wrong category here?
Did you activate a "volume key wake" that enables volume keys to wake up the device ?
On my Desire these buttons can be a bit hard to push sometimes, maybe you have the opposite effect ?
Edit : such settings may be found in the "display" section of the settings tab
No, even several other Roms didn´t fix the problem.
Also watched: the volume funktion seems to be active in background too cause after almost every "wake up" the ring volume setting is displayed for 1 second.
Seems to be a hardware problem but the Desire did not fall down or sth like that...
When choosing trackball or volume key for wakeup in the settings, the display always switches on and off. Power button still causes a hard reset.
Hi,
Today while reboot some application asked for two hardware keys, I've pressed Volume-Up and Volume-Down keys and land up into following issue.
1. Pressing Volume-Up key start selecting elements on screen with blue focussing rectangle instead of volume increase functionality. This is similar as pressing TAB keys in desktop application to switch controls on screen. Volume-Down key acting as Enter (or Select Key) instead of volume decrease. Now I can operate all applications on phone using two keys but cant control volume
2. I've not installed any such application to map these keys. Now this app is not appearing again when I reboot my phone
How can I reset volume keys back to original state and remove or disable this hacking application or feature of android phone. I don't want to install a button remapping application - first need to eliminate the bug.
Device: One Plus 3
ROM: Resurrection 5.4.8
Same issue her
Super irritating. Can't find anything via Google search except this thread.
you have Talkback turned on - go into accessibility settings and disable it.
navigating in this mode is different (for users that need slower inteface), so :
tap = double tap
