Sleep Mode - Desire General

Hi,
I have a question about sleep mode or whatever you want to call it. I am sure that you figured out that i am new to Android and the Desire (only had it for 4 days now).
I remember reading somewhere here but I cant find, someone asking if it were possible to bring the phone out of standby or sleep mode whatever you call it, other then pressing the power button.
I would like to know is there an app that allows this for "stock" Desires? I am not running any other types of ROMs. I am still too new to this all.
If anyone knows. I would appreciate it. Thanks for putting up with an Android & Desire Noob.

WidgetLocker can do that but it will replace ur standard lockscreen. I can recommend the app btw...

Thanks elburna I will try it out and see how I like it.

[Q] Answer phone

every other time my phone rings I cant answer it. The accept button just wont move?? is it just me or have anyone else had this error I have a dezire z
Do you have set CPU set to 245MHz @ screen off?
no i dont, why?
Well that could be one cause, maybe it's a bad app causing your phone to temporarily freeze? Can you slide it the other way and ignore the call?
Did you try flashing a different kernel?

why do you suggest this? how do you know hes using kernels? im just trying to see what your connection to the solution is -its quite a specific answer to a problem that hasnt really been examined. what rom is he on, etc before you can start talking about kernels -- so can you clarify?
accept button - do you mean the slider? if you have cmod - just activate settings to disable lock menu/trackball/ whatever --also you could try the no-lock unless you have security issues.
if no cmod -- theres apps to reduce the lockage -- that may help you get your phone calls but still doesnt fix the problem? you could try enomther's and his awesome extra ssettings app has all those options
Thanks for your help, well it is my wifes phone and it is fresh from the store, just a bunch of apps installed.
I will try some things and see if i can figure it out. And yes it is the slide button, can that be switched for a push button, Is it theme based or in the dialer?? hope you understand what i say.

If its a stock DESIRE Z and not a G2 then I think it's safe to assume its got sense on it and not AOSP. Did you try hard resetting it? (power down and pulling the battery for at least 30 sec) other than that id check for any OTA updates in the settings menu. OR if you're willing/know how, you can root it and run CM or virtuous. Both ROMs are excellent. If you do that and the problem persists, it could very well be a faulty unit. You have a lot of options!
I found I had problems answering calls when I had a specific make of screen protector on the phone. As soon as I took that off and went back to a previous one I'd used then it was fine again ! It's a long shot, but I thought I'd throw it in there.
Problem solved, An update did the trick, thanks for helping out my friends,
same problem , cannot answer with swipe keys

Vibrate on connect call

One of the greatest feature in HTC phones for me, was the Vibrate on connect feature. Basically the phone vibrates slightly when the person you are calling answers , if you are not holding the phone to your ear. As long as the screen is turned off the phone does not before as it "thinks" you are holding it at your ear.
Is there any way to enable something like this on the GNexus? I couldn't find an app to for this.
Maybe one of the talented devs around here are interested in doing a mod to enable this function?
Cyanogenmod has this feature. I'm unsure if it is present in cm9 as its still relatively new, but it was definitely in cm7

I actually did give that one a try earlier today. The vibrate on call end worked for me, but the vibrate on call connect did not work at all (stock ICS). The app has several different "vibration mode settings" to try if it isn't working on your phone, but I had no luck with any of the different settings.
I emailed the developer, so hopefully they get back to me.
i'm missing this feature too!

I had this feature on the OG Droid through the KickBack, which was installed when I switched to a cyanogenmod 7 rom... KickBack says that it's deprecated/included in ICS, but I can't find a setting for this feature anywhere on my GN (4.0.4 stock rooted). I would really love to have this feature back, just so I don't have to stare at my phone until it starts actually dialing.

Milestone 5 Physical button light fix

I still saw a lot of people asking about a fix for this issue on the AOKP thread. I would post this there, but I don't have the privileges as of yet. Anyways for those of you that want the physical lights on, pull down your notification bar and set the brightness on max. Press/toggle the auto brightness button on and off several times. Saw a few people say 20 times. On your last press make sure you toggle the auto brightness on, then very quickly press the power button to turn the screen off, and then quickly press the power button again to go to your lock screen. Afterwards your physical lights should be working normally again. You have to repeat this step over again if you reboot your phone, but atleast this is a temp fix for those of you that want the lights on. I did not come up with this as I found it through a search, but a lot of people are still asking for a fix so I figured I'd post it.

Didn't even realize they were even broken. Fixed it for me though
Thanks man I'll try it out . I've been looking for a fix for that and haven't seen one till now. I've posted a few questions in the general thread but I never seem to get an answer. Thanks for helping another noob ! I've been experimenting quite a bit with AOKP, CM9, and Codename and I was wondering why the stock task killer isn't included in neither of the 3. They are amazing especially AOKP but my battery doesn't last me through work and I'm assuming its because I have some apps running in the background. Anyone know why the devs didn't include it or know how I can install it ? Just to be clear I'm looking to install the stock task manager w/ program monitor not the task killers from the market that don't work. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys !

"How to get into Safe Mode to troubleshoot problems

So I have always used a site called (HOW TO GEEK.COM) http://www.howtogeek.com/ for any issues I have with my pc the people there are really smart and patcient with people like me who only have moderate skills and need guidence. I gert emails from them every day. They have been diving more and more into android. So I was reading today and I saw that just like your pc android has a safe mode that boots up only the stock software disabling all third party stuff. So if you are experiencing crashes or unusual battery drain or other problems you can start by booting to safe mode and seeing if the problem is still there. I am sure that this is nothing new to devs and others that have had android for a long time but I know I have been on this site for like two years and I have never seen it mentioned so I just wanted to let others know.
So to get into safe mode for 4.1 and later you go to the shut off menu and long press the power off and you will be asked if you want to boot into safe mode just say yes and done. The phone will reboot and at the bottom left corner will say safe mode. On older versions of Android, long-press the power button and then tap Power Off to turn off your device. Turn on the phone or tablet by long-pressing the power button again. Release the power button and, when you see a logo appear during boot-up, hold down both the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons. Continue holding the two buttons until the device boots up with a Safe mode indicator at the bottom-left corner of its screen. Thats it really easy. Its kinda like easter eggs. I mean if there is that then I am sure that there are other neat little things that we dont know about. I also read that starting in 4.2 they are hiding the developer options I for get just how to get it but it was something like going into about phone then pressing android version or build number 8 times or something like that. It was on the same site but I dont feel like searching right now but I am sure there are other things. Does anyone else know of any? I would like to know if you do post them here.
peace
Safe mode's been around on Android since the early days; just about every android phone has safe mode on it, but not always the same way to get into it.
You might help more people if you renamed this thread (or at least added to it), something like "How to get into Safe Mode to troubleshoot problems).
Thanks for sharing.
cool this could help someone one day, nice post. You actually contributed something to this forum, which is a lot more than most of these "post your homescreen" or "when we get updatez fro tmobilez" threads are!
thanks

How do I go about renaming the thread do I just ask a mod? You are right it how to get into safe mode would be a better title. Has anyone tried this on our phone yet because when I tried I do t know if it is because we have a different menu or b3cause I am on stock but the first method did not work but the one for older versions did. So maybe aosp is different than some of the others. And yea I dont want to annoy people and be part of the problem. Im sure I have posted some bullcrap too but I learned when I got negative or no responces. I see your point I come here to learn between here and the otber site I mentioned is how I learn all my computer skills. I have never taken a class and I have built my own computers. I am still a long way away from doing anything on android thou. So yea I just wanted to help is all.
Peace

[Q] a few questions

hello.
i've just installed Domination for HTC one X, using the following link: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/unoffi...om-based-cm10/
aaaaand i have a couple of questions.
1. Trebuchet stops working. but i've only come across this issure when im in the menu, browsing thru my apps, then i reach the widget section, and it is now 30/30 times it stops working when i reach the widget page. so my question is: anyone who knows how to work out this issure or knows what curses it or anything ?
2. am i completely wrong when i say that the battery drains even faster now ? any thoughts about that ?
3. any of you guys knows if its possible to disable the volume keys on the side of the phone when its up and running (not when starting up, cuz then i cant get into the Hboot)
1. do a factory reset from bootloader.
2. usually,JB eats up more battery than ICS.
3. dont know
