Yes I think so. At settings ==> system tab ==> keylock.
There you check the: do not lock buttons option.
HKLM\HARDWARE\OEM\KEYBD\KeyLock: value change from 1 to 0

Guys - the only way I can bring my 8525 out of STANDY is with the power button. My "KeyLock" is set to "Lock buttons if device is locked" but its NOT locked yet, just in standby. The only button that can get it to wake up is a quick-push of the Power-Button.
I remember an app being on Black 2.5 that said you could push ANY button to wake it up OR another option of only the Power Button, but I can't find that on Black 3.01. I think it was under the "Personal" menu list.
I'd like to wake it up with the green-phone button or with ANY button, but that doesn't happen. Am I missing something - how are you waking up yours?
Thanks.
Did you try Settings>System>Key Lock?
Select the "don't lock any buttons"

Maybe the button assignments are set to <None>. Check Start>Settings>Buttons
Running Black 3.0, my device can be woken using any button when set to the setting you describe (as per normal behaviour). Sorry, doesn't help much I know, perhaps its a 3.01 thing.
And mine cant. so strange!

Thanks - Yes, I have it set to "lock buttons if device is locked," so I would think that would mean any button could turn it on, if its not locked, but thats NOT the way mine is working. I ALWAYS have to hit the powerbutton to wake it up. I'll keep looking, but I'm sure there was a 2nd small app that had something to do with this, but its just not in 3.01. Thanks again.

You may be interested in the "other" way to do this. Simply hold down the end-call button for a sec or so. You can change it to disconnect the data connection instead or to give you a menu to choose.

Just done this, setting the button to lock, is it possible to change it back to the menu?
Yes. Go to Settings, All Settings, Personal (tab), Buttons, End Key (tab).
Thankyou Fraser.
how can i assign the lock button to be with the Back Button instead of end, so when i press and hold back it lock the device as well ofcourse as returning to home screen
When I turn on my phone from standby I am surprised to find that to unlock the phone, ad well as wiping down I can also press the menu key.
Is this normal? It seems to override the whole protection which wiping provides.
Can the menu key option be disabled?
yes it is normal. All Android phones do this as this was the standard on earlier Android phones.
Some people prefer it to swiping. I am one of those people.
I know of no way to disable it, but it has been covered quite a few times in the sapphire and Hero forums. I'd also check in the nexus forums as well.
Hope you find what you're looking for.
Ok. Thanks for the clarification.
oh i didnt know that, ... so if you put it in your pocket and the menu button got pressed by accident that it would be unlocked, .. hmm ... not very cool

You need to press power button before to wake up the phone, and, after that, press menu button... I think it won't happened so many times...
Please correct me if i'm wrong, but i thought you cannot "accidently" press the Touchscreen of the Desire because it is not responsive to something unorganic?!
exactly.
But as has been said, you would have to press the power button, and then press the menu button.
And anyway, I've had my Hero since August, and that unlocks with two presses of the menu button which is easier to do in a pocket and its never happened to me so far.....
Is there an app/widget to just simply lauch the lock screen?
Aha. Very good point about the organic pointer requirement. That should stop most of the accidents.

the screen receives only organic requests, ... but not the menu button!
if you turn off the display from above and put it in your pocket than this doesnt matter, because its very hard to "accidentally" press the power button in the first place.
but am talking about what if you left the screen, just locked the device and put it in your pocket, ... if you pressed the menu button accidentally than you can keep pressing search, back, menu, home buttons accidentally while in your pocket

How can you lock the screen and not need to hit power to wake it up?

Why on earth would you want to do that?
Because would like the display to time out but without me having to press the button but I also want it to be locked.

Why though?
Don't get me wrong I'm not having a go at you but how hard is it to press an extra button or to just let it timeout.
i also think that it would be great if we could press any harfware key to wake up the device... i think thats a great feature on hd2.

I agree 100%. My hands aren't that big and it can be annoying at times having to stretch my index finger all the way to the top. Would be so much better it it could be done with my thumb (using one of the bottom hard keys).
I'm not moaning, just voicing my opinion.
I love this phone too much for it to be an issue.
Yep, I want it to be like on my Hero.
is there some progress on the situation above?
yes there is
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683902
basically you do it like this
enter recovery
adb-nilezon shell mount /system
adb-nilezon pull /system/usr/keylayout/bravo-keypad.kl c:\
edit bravo-keypad.kl to your liking --> loacted in c:\ on your comp
adb-nilezon push c:\bravo-keypad.kl /system/usr/keylayout/bravo-keypad.kl
adb-nilezon shell reboot
if you edit bravo-keypad.kl like this (add WAKE_DROPPED on key 139) than when you press menu button you'll wake up your device, you can assign back, home or search key for this... the choice is yours
Code:
key 102 HOME
key 139 MENU WAKE_DROPPED
key 158 BACK
key 217 SEARCH
key 107 ENDCALL WAKE_DROPPED
key 116 POWER WAKE_DROPPED
key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE

There is an option in the widget locker settings that allows you to disable this.
Open WidgetLocker, hit the menu key and scroll through the settings. you should see it
