[DEV] Trackball asleep? - Desire General

Hi
the trackball awake feature is really nice - but what about trackball asleep?
Is this also possible?

Huh ? You use the trackball to select items when the screen is on. You want it to switch the screen off and sleep when you select something ? Or am i missing your point ?

hmm..the trackball asleep function should be only available when the screen is locked;

OR only available at Home screen since when you press the track pad while at home screen nothing happens.

When my screen locks, my phone is already asleep.
Won't it be too troublesome to lock the screen and then having to press the trackball to make it sleep?
And, this would be mutually exclusive with trackball awake?

What button (besides power) wakes 8525 up?

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.

Thank you very much.
The Rom you are using could have this problem.If you can try for anyother ROm. that rom is quite old now.

S2U2 Slide to unlock activation

Instead of pressing the power off button, I would like to assign S2U2 activation to the long press Phone Off button. Hopefully without bringing in AEButton and the like.
Anyone with more experience in S2U2 knows the answer?
"start"
"settings"
"buttons"
change "button1 (hold)
then drag at "2"the prog "s2u2"
and if you press the pickup fone key for a long time then s2u2 starts

No, I want to reserve that button for rotating screen.
I have no use for the ok/back button, and like to use that to activate s2u2 instead.
Anyone knows how to do that?
Hi all.
I've installed S2U2 on my HD.
Looks nice.
But when I answer a call, the display goed to black.
So after all my 'disable sleep in call" adjustments, now I have the same problem again.
Anybody the same problem?
And a solution??
Thanks in advance!!

It happens on all HTC HD devices, even original uncooked ones.
Just click the back button when the screen goes black.
The phisical back button on the device.

Thanks,
I already did that with HD tweak, I think I solved it by a S2U2 setting...
It just went to black immediately after slide to answer.
Now the screen stays on, dims after a while, but that's ok.
I'm seachring also for a method to put s2u2 on the phone button, so instead of the "HD-Key Lock" s2u2 will be activated. Is this possible?

Switch on screen

Well when you want to use the phone you have to press the power button first right? Then slide to unlock.
Is it possible to remap the button to switch screen on from the power button to say...clicking the trackpad? A native way or an app i don't mind. Just seems strange to reach to the top of the phone and i have pretty big hands, it's no problem just me being me i guess.
Download keyguard disabler, then you will be able to turn on the screen with any of the bottom buttons.
Though pressing trackpad seems best as others invoke some kind of action.

the nexus one trackpad has been remapped to wake up the screen, ... but *i think* it has to be rooted first.

Oh that's a shame! Yeah i think any key would cause me to make mistaks while it is in my pocket that's why i would like the trackpad.
I'll live in hope!
Well it was recommended an app called flyscreen but that turned out to be a full lock screen replacement. Not really what I want!
I don't want to give up on this it's my only gripe lol. Anyone any ideas? Or help? Nothing from the Nexus One?
We may have to wait till it's rooted before we get this feature
How about just locking the screen rather than turn it off?

Great way to drain your battery really fast...
If Paul from Modaco gets his Desire it could be rooted very soon. Let's hope so and i want this feature first lol.

[Q] Bypass lock screen in HTC Sense/CM/Stock rom

Back in WinMo days I was so happy that i could disable lock screen because I find it very annoying, I really don't need it.
So I was wondering is it possible that when I press power on button that it automatically goes to home screen without need to unlock it first?
I have found few mods for that, but whatever mod(or app) I applied it would also enable power on by trackball or any other hw key(menu, home..) what I don't want since I can accidently press those keys in pocket and than my battery will drain usless!
I have found the mod I need, but it is for EVO 4G, maybe it needs little modification so that it can be applied to our Desire?
on some ROM's you get the optionj where you unlock via power button.. and for the lock screen you can just use Menu button.. I use it.. and very easy, better than the vanilla lock screen
hope this helps!
try searching for No Lock in the market. works dandy for me.
yea same, go with no lock, also has a handy widget
