I have googled this question in many different phrases and searched this forum as well and can't find the answer...perhaps im just not using the right phrase to search and if this has been answered, i would be truly grateful if someone would provide me a link or just point me the direction to find the answer.
Basically what i want is something that lets me wake the phone up by pushing maybe any of the buttons at the bottom or even the volume buttons. I know there is an app like nolock that does this but i dont want to lose my lockscreen...i just want to be able to wake up the phone without pushing the power. This reason comes from a thread i saw about people getting a crack near the power button and slowly working its way down the screen...so i want to push the button as little as possible. (Im really paranoid)
I got my phone yesterday so im still familiarizing myself with the phone and OS so please excuse my noobness. Thank you for your time.
Hey the app widget locker allows you to use other buttons to wake phone. You should try that. It also gives you different lock screens to choose from. Hope I helped.

awesome. thank you.
There is no way to wake the phone using the 4 touch buttons. They are completely off and unresponsive when the phone is asleep.

Hey guys I was wondering if there was a simple way to solve this problem.
For some reason when i press the power key or just open up my phone my screen wont come on. I have to pay around with it a few times to actually make the screen come on. Has any1 else had this issue? If so how did you fix it?
Im using standard firmware, noting custom on my phone at all.
I don't get it man, you say you do press the power button and it doesn't come on? when I first got my Tmo TP2, I was baffled at how to get it on, but just pressing the power button at the top once was the only way to do it for me..maybe you're holding it down to long when you press? I'm not sure..did you do the upgrade to Tmo's official 6.5??

What about when you pull the stylus out when the screen is off? Same delay? If so, then the source of the issue is related to the phone's response, not the switch method (top button, slide switch, stylus switch).
Im using the updated window 6.5 and im not holding the power button to long. IDK whats wrong with it. As for when i pull the stylus out, i never really used that method to make my screen come on. I just tried it adn it worked. but im not sure if it will continue to work. I will use just that method for hear on out to see.

Yeah, I never really use it that way much (if ever)...but that's probably the best way for now to try to isolate the issue
Ive tried the stylus thing for a while now and like the power button it doesnt work all the time. Im not sure if the phone is just broke what.
Install process manager and list what processes and applications you are running...

still do not find a best solution..
Pleaaseee help me.. Really need the aplication.. Tired in searching but still can't find..
Yay another silly question from yours truly!
I have never been a fan of waking the phone up with the power button. The way I put in my pocket and the way I hold it means I have to do a one-handed juggle trick to get to the power button. This is dangerous when I'm in outdoor venues like bar patios, concert halls or walking to or from my car.
I've google searched the hell out of this, is there a way/app/widget that allows you to wake up the phone with the trackpad?
I know there's a widget and an app that'll unlock with the trackball (and soft keys, I think), but so far no successful searches for waking it up.
Any ideas? I'm unrooted, btw.
You are gonna need to be rooted by either VISIONary Temp root or Perm-Root with
a Custom ROM . With Temp Root you will have to run a tp_wake script in GScript
everytime you reboot . Or with Perm-Root and a ROM like CM 6.1 its already built
in
Well I guess I'd better get on that, then, lol. Thanks I'm gonna leave it open just in case there's some app in the market that just came out. All the answers I found were pretty old.

And it passes the lock screen entirely. You rock, thank you!
Hi,
Is anyone else getting this problem;
Basically At random times when i try to wake my phone from standby mode by pressing the top button it gets stuck in standby.
The three buttons light up, Home, Menu & Back/search.... but the screen stays off, completly black, like the phones off.
I've tried multiple things to get the screen on, pressing the track pad, holding all the buttons down, holding the on/off button down ect.. nothing seems to wake the screen or make the phone respond, the only fix seems to be to remove the battery.
I havent installed any new apps for about a week or more so i dont think an app is causing it, but i maybe wrong.
I have noticed that it seems to happen when im in the cold, when im indoors or somewhere where the heating is on it doesnt seem to happen, but when im in a cold place it seems to happen, i diont know if thats just coincidence or if its also something to do with the problem.
I did google the fault, but only found two pages with a similar topic, one was the vodafone forum where they just recomemded a reset and the other page had no answers.
I was hoping the good folks here at XDA could help.
Merry Christmas.
can you give more info? are you rootrd? are you using setcpu with profiles? a custom rom?

Not possible. With the power completely off.... The capacitive keys won't work.
Your options can be found in some custom roms, or kernels for waking the device tho.
There's sweep to wake, found in some kernels.
Or volume button to wake. Found in some roms. You'd have to read the opening posts or ask in those threads to see which have those options.
If your device is powered off tho.... I'm not sure if pulling the battery and putting it back in starts the phone or not.... Been awhile.
Either way... You're in for lots of inconvenience. Personally... I'd phone shop. Used phones are a cheap option.... The Moto G or E are very cheap... Brand new. The S2 is pretty old now.... Paying to have it repaired is an option... But the money is probably better spent towards an updated phone.
Just my opinion. ?
Well I managed to remap the search button as the power button but you are right it does not work when the phone is in sleep.I am using Shadow ROM and it has the volume wake option so I use the volume buttons to wake the phone and the search button to put it to sleep.It's a little inconvenient but it works.The only problem I could face would be that if the phone somehow hangs and I have to turn it off by taking out the battery then it will not turn on without plugging in the charger.I just hope this situation does not come.
I think I will run this S2 for a few months and then move on to some other phone.Right now I am thinking of a Windows phone such as Lumia.
Can you also tell your opinion about that?
Thanks for the reply.

See my signature. No windows phones. Lol
I know the one Lumia had an awesome camera... 1020 or something. But mediocre reviews on the rest of the phone. And using that camera apparently destroys the battery life. Lol
Also, windows "apps" have a long way to go. Compared to Apple and Android anyway.
But... To each their own. ?

My honest opinion:
I hate windows 8 anything (lol) especially their phones. Apple iPhone is ehh, but better than windows. Everyone seems to love their OnePlus One's and the LG G3.
