Hi guys,
I would like to know if it is possible on the HTC TP2 to leave the standby/power saving mode (the one that turns off the screen) by using other buttons than the "power-on" one.
My power-on button starts having problems and only works now one time out of two. So I would really like to stop using it each time I want to use my phone.
I have read about an option on the HTC Diamond model but could not find it in my interface.
Thank you in advance for your help!
No ideas?
Thanks!

I used to have an XDAII (the very first) where the unit could be woken up by pressing any button. There was a setting in the control panel that allowed you to set it to only recongnize the power button or have the other buttons wake it up. Naturally I set it to the power button, but after a while, that button got worn down and stopped "working" so I naturally set it to recognize any other button.
This experience has taught me the hard way, that its a good choice to have (or maybe even a necessity in some cases) that other buttons to wake the unit up in case of situations like this.
I've just bought an Atom life and unfortunately it ONLY recognizes the power button to wake the unit up. Is there any hack or software out there that could enable the other buttons (or better yet, allow selection of which buttons can turn the unit on)?
I'd like to use the large middle button on the front if possible, since that button seems more "sturdy" than the power button. I may be able to save that poor power button from years of wear and tear.
just realized i posted in the wrong section. Moderators, feel free to move it to the parent Atom section, and my sincerest apologies
Hi, nargalzius
I have been search for decade, but i still cannot find the way to assign other button for waking up da device......
same problem here...
anybody out there figured this one out already?
bump
did anybody find a hack for this?
I have just the opposite problem. I use the headphones that come
with the Atom Life - the button on it not only turns on the device.. if
you bang the mouth piece on something (without hitting
the button), it turns it on too!! I'd love a solution to that
I use O2 Flame and got the same setting, no other hard key than the power button can wake up the device from sleep. Anyone knows the tricks or registry hacks, please share. Thank you very much.
Atom Life Wakeup Button
Hi guys, there doesn't seem to be an answer on here and I assume the reason is as follows - Atom Life also wakes up by pressing the "end" key... (I think this is a general hardware setup)
I was also a bit weary of the power button being worn out, so I did some experimentation and found that the end button works a treat if you have the same concern "end - s2u"... swweeet!
Hope this helps.

You mean when the phone is in standby mode and you press the END key, the phone will come out of standby? Beats the whole purpose of standby then
I do echo the same "problem" of not being able to change the mapping of the power button to the front button.. ( as I was able to do with my XDA II)
I 'm confused about the "end" key solution..
Anyone finding a solution ?
Thank you all
Nearest program might be MORT saver? it allows you to specify the button that put the device in to MORT stand by and therefore the same button that will awake the device. Not exactly the power button option that you talk of wanting but at least MORT also stops the device from waking up when any of the buttons around the action button are pressed.
Hi.
HTC Blue Angel won't go to standby (sleep) mode when i press the power button.
Here's what i've tried alredy:
- soft reset
- hard reset
- reformat
- reflash
The power button electricaly is working since i can wake the device and toggle backlight with it. The sleep mode is operational since the device automaticaly timeouts to the sleep mode (power management).
Now the most intriguing part: this has happen to TWO of my Blue Angels at the SAME TIME. One with WM2003 and the other with WM6.
The WM6 was my primary unit while the WM2003 was just lying in the drawer.
When the WM6 unit gone mad i took out the MW2003 one just to find out it has the same problem. While i did instaled some software on the MW6 one i haven't installed anything on the MW2003.
Any help apriciated. Thanks in advance.

when you say sleep mode you mean the screen goes to blank and the backlight turns off...right?
try pushing the button longer

Yes, the mode where PDA is turned off (apps are hibernated) but GSM radio is still on standing by for incoming calls/messages.

That's pointless. This device has backligh turned on/off that way, not the OS. When everything was ok, a short push was enought to trigger the "standby" function. (once again i remind that the button is electricaly ok)
Thanks for reply, waiting for ideas,
Bushman
MINE TOO
that happens to me too andthe keyboard smtyms hangs until you press the windows button
I have pressed each and every key on the device multiple times, nothing helps
I had the same problem.
The reason was one of the keys beside the display.
In older PPCs these buttons tend to get short-circuited.
My solution was to reassemble the BA and clean the buttons.
Thank you for the tip, i will clean the buttons and check connections to the mainboard and post results.
Thumbs up!
Bushman
EDIT:
Thanks for the tip!!! One is fixed. The other one still doesn't work like it should but now i have a clue where to search for it.

Ihad to pimp my BA and it happends to mee
And the button record remains pusshed ll the time
it can let the power off works
I just

Hi, i wondered if someone here can help me with my htc desire, i purchased it like this by the way. When i insert the battery and power the device it goes straight into bootloader mode but im unable to select the options using the volume button, is there a way to exit this mode? or is it possible i can use the volume keys of the handsfree headset (i dont have) in case the phones volume buttons are faulty?
Here below is a pic ive taken:

Your input would be highly appreciated, thanks!
Have you removed battery and try booting up again?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
hi, yes i have, as soon as i put the battery in and press power it automatically goes into bootloader mode without even holding the back key, which is puzzling..
Did you buy it from a shop? Take it back if so. Is there any movement in the volume buttons or ate they stuck down?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
It could be that it has water damage and that is causing the volume down to be pressed by itself all the time..
i compared the volume buttons with a working desire and they feel exactly the same
Is this a new phone?
If so - return it.
This happened to my phone too, which was bought new. Looking around it does appear to be a hardware problem and needs to be sent back for repair/replacement.
Just like the tittle How can I do that with HTC One X? You can turn off other phones completely by turn it off and remove its battery. But since the One X's battery is unremovable. How can I turn it off completely? Thank you
Btw, I am new in this thread, so excuse me for being a noob Thankz

I couldn't find a way to power down the device via the hardware buttons, but there is a way to force a restart, after which you should be able to boot into fastboot/recovery and fix whatever issues you're facing. Subsequently, you should be able to shut it down from your ROM's power menu.
From the HTC website:
If HTC One X does not respond when you touch the screen or press the buttons, you can still restart it.
Press and hold the POWER button for at least 10 seconds, and then release it. HTC One X then restarts.

when you hold down the power button, you get three options. top one is power off, middle is airplane mode, bottom one is restart. the top one is the one you want and is the best your going to get as like you say, you cant remove the battery from these phones. dont see why you really need too either other than if the battery dies.
just hold the power button for 5-8 secs and a menu will appear.
Turn off fastboot in Settings. Press and hold the power button with volume down held until you get into the bootloader and select "power down"
Just another method of powering off completely.

After accident with water normally I have to asap turn off phone and remove battery. What to do with OneX? I would like to know solution before not after such case.

That is not possible. The quickest is via the menu apperaing when holding the powerbutton. You could download an app allowing you to power down the device via a shortcut on the homescreen.

I have same problem on my old Desire, now either get the power button fixed from service center or flash some custom rom/mod which enables track pad wake, I am using custom rom and can wake phone using track pad and its working just fine from last 2-3 months.

sounds like a hardware issue. If you have the tools, take the phone apart and make sure the lead is touching the button sensor.....It may have ripped or moved out of place I would guess.....
