Now that we can wake our phones with the track pad, is there any way to disable the power button from waking up the phone? I notice it gets hit a ton in my pocket, and them bad things happen.
i wouldnt recommend that, since the trackpad wake is so sketchy

Trackpad wake works fine on stock rose/htclockscreen, but otherwise I have to press it 4 times before it wakes

Trackpad is stable enough for me. Anybody think disabling power button for wakeup is possible?
You got it?

Do you have the trackpad wake instructions for Froyo? Changing the qwerty.kl on 'trackpad press' from wake_dropped to wake does NOT work for me on 2.2 (it did on 2.1).
Thanks

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.
This might be a dumb question, but, on the G2, how do you wake the phone up from standby without actually opening the keyboard?
With the G1, all I had to do was press the Menu button, but that doesnt work on the G2. So far, the only way to wake up the G2 is by flipping the keyboard open, or hitting the power switch.
I don't own the phone but played with one in store yesterday. There is a power button on the top of the phone, this brings it out of standby. I kind of hoped a push of the trackpad would also but it does not.
It really bothers me coming from the Nexus that they swaped sides of the headphone jack and power/sleep button. On most all of HTC's other phones the pow/sleep button is on the top left, perfect for my (smallish) right hand pointer finger. Now that they swapped it to the top right, my world is falling apart...

Hahaha, yeah I'm having the same problem!
I'm so accustomed to having the power button on the left that this phone is completely throwing me off!
Yup... as far as I know, tapping the power button on top will bring it out of standby.
Frustrating not being able to wake it up any other way than the power button or open it up....I want to be able to push the trackpad...anyone figure this one out yet?

this.
and I wouldn't recommend rooting/custom roms just to change how the phone wakes up. not worth it if that's your biggest complaint with the phone.
it's like modding a car... you won't be able to stop until it explodes.

Install NoLock. When you'll turn it on Unlocked, you'll be able to wake your phone with the trackpad, the volume or the camera buttons
is there any way to disable volume buttons to wake the phone up when using no screen lock?
I've tried to modify qwery.kl and utms_jordan.kl but no luck.
using latest nordic, it didn't happen on 2.1
thanks.
My phone does not wake with the volume buttons. (cm7)

Is it just me or does that sound like a rather mean-spirited reply? For what it's worth, I've never heard of a Defy that wakes using the volume button - wouldn't mind that functionality, though. Perhaps we could swap?
I only wanted him to know the volume buttons don't wake up the phone with CM7.
Can it be an option somewhere in Froyo?
no, I wasn't trying to be rude.
volume buttons wake the phone only when no screen lock is on.
actually to turn off screen lock I have to use the app called 'no lock'.
in this case pressing the top turn on/off button wakes the phone and no extra swipe nor pin asked.
however the same thing what volume button do but this never happend until I flashed the nordic one.
as I mentioned I was playing with the *.kl files but didn't make any changes.
what I'm trying to do is lock/unlock the phone by the turn on/off button only.
I promise - I watched the video and searched the hell out of this before posting...
can you change the wake phone function from the power button to, say, the volume keys and/or the home soft button?
thanks in advance. please don't slaughter me if this is posted elsewhere!

Idk where it is at in the samsung devices but usually you can change the key layout by editing user-key layout you can also remap the search button to any app.

i can see how that would be useful but i couldn't find it and moreover, i think when the phone goes into sleep-mode, those soft keys are disabled. i guess i am looking for a way to either wake the phone with the volume keys - or - somehow enable those soft buttons so i can hit the home one and wake up my phone.

You would have to give the keys a set wake option. I can do it for htc devices but i don't know much about samsung devices. You would want a volume rocker wake I'm guessing or menu and back wake right. You can also use an app called widget locker it enables you to wake the device from volume rocker etc.
thanks again for the thoughts.
i think i'll patiently wait a few weeks for people smarter than me to start writing apps specific to this phone.
have a great day!
I think this will come in handy since some of us don't want to wear out the power button but be able to use both. The only problem I might see using the volume button is when you are listening to something with your headphones. Would pressing the volume button be changing the volume or waking the phone? hahaha..i'm sure there will be options.
The latest version of Juggernaut has that as an option, if you're into flashing custom roms.

That is correct, Juggernaut 2.6 has this feature and flashing is pretty simple.
i use this option on Juggernaut too. its great cuz i cant always reach the power button even tho i have huge hands.
which ROM except Juggernaut has this option, I mean waking phone up by sound button?
Darkside's Dewizzed does. and it's a GREAT rom.
I actually hate the 'feature'. I listen to music lots with my phone, and having to double tap the volume rocker to adjust volume sucks, and then it turns on the screen. Since half the time it's in my pocket and i'm pushing buttons through that... long story short i've pocket texted a couple times.
/rant.
Yes, and you can do this without rooting and without installing a custom rom by using the application widget locker, which has an option to wake the phone using the volume keys. Otherwise several roms support this such as the Darkside Dewizzed rom.
Epic bump, but Josh from mobile tech videos gave my phone a solution like this when my phone had an internal shortage. He set the volume+ button as the wake button and it did involve the key layout as someone in this thread had said earlier. Ill be back with a link to an xda thread that had the same idea but for a different device.
I bump this because even though he changed the button layout, I completely forgot about it and flashed a different rom :S now I seek a solution.

ParanoidAndroid also has this function. I already had my power button fail once and had to replace it I now have the option of using the volume buttons or power button to wake the phone.
Hello,
For the S3.
the home button & the volumes button are disabled with this zip.
Just the power button will wake up your phone. Battery saver
Flash it with CWM.

How is this a battery saving mod? Does the home-button wakeup feature actually consume some battery?

Me too! Very useful when out at concerts etc. I found that the constant movement would cause the power button to be hit, then screen would stay on for a minute with contact through thin trousers/shorts.
Eventually I found phone was quite warm and battery was slightly reduced.
And I have no idea what the volume wake does, but I have left it enabled.
How about wake up with volume keys

Basically, the file gpio-keys.kl contains four lines corresponding to both volume keys, power button and the home button.
The zip I posted removes the WAKE from just the power button. So the volume keys behave in the same way they would without the modification.
The zip the op posted removes the WAKE from the volume keys and the home button, but not the power button. (so the volume keys will no longer wake the device).
I don't know what this difference means, I assume it may have something to do with volume changing when listening to music? But I have no idea.
Does this clear it up?
But the volume keys dont wake up the phone by default right?

Nope, not as far as I have ever seen.
But they were set to WAKE, so I left them that way.
Is there a flashable file that can enable that?

the button doesn't, but the screen coming on does. Disabling the button is handy, when phones in pocket, and button keeps pressing.

Enable wake on volume key press? I honestly don't know how, according to the file that I modified they already do - but we know that they don't actually visibly affect the device.

I think acccidently pressing the power button is much easier than accidently pressing the home button, so arguably, you would save more power disabling the power button, and not the home button?
Thank´s for this, love it.
i have a case on my s3 so pressing the power button is eliminated accidentally, however the home button i seem to press accidentally every time i pull it out of my pocket or even just shuffling it around.
Hey,can't test it because i have cm9!
Looking good though...
Could you make a zip for cm9 too?

I just downloaded a CM9 nightly, the same file exists which this zip modifies.
This *should* work for you no issues, with the revert working aswell. Of course, nandroid first...

Tried with your Power button disabled mod.. Doesn't work.. After flashing, it still wakes up my phone.
