How can I active screen blacklight with other key (aside power button)

My screen will turn off black light in 10 sec, if i tap anywhere on screen or press any buttons, it will not turn on.
I can only activate it using the power button
.. how can i modify it so that it will become active by any key press?
thanks

settings > system > keylock >
Try "lock buttons if device is locked"
or in settings > system > power > advanced
you can set how quickly the device will turn off.
settings > system > backlight < battery power
for the backlight off time.

You could also pick "Do not lock buttons" in the key lock settings but that means ANY button gets pressed you're backlight is back on and you could be doing ANYTHING...
Unless you have a lock program - like S2U2 - then you might not like the results & be spending BIG $$ on phone calls and browsing you didn't mean to do...
Cheers...

thanks for the replies
one more question, other than the S2U2... are there any programs/software for the hermes that when the black light turns off it can be reactivated if i slide open the phone (or press the power button)

This is a beta program then there is This, which is configed with an XML, tried this one, its good.
There will never be any software that allows actions based on sliding open/closed, unlike with the Kaiser. (something about it not being a software rotation but a hardware one)

You may be interested in the "other" way to do this. Simply hold down the end-call button for a sec or so. You can change it to disconnect the data connection instead or to give you a menu to choose.

Just done this, setting the button to lock, is it possible to change it back to the menu?

Yes. Go to Settings, All Settings, Personal (tab), Buttons, End Key (tab).

Thankyou Fraser.

Don't thinks so... unless the app provides this (exit or something) but this is application specific.
Android depends on the back button, and the menu button.
I'll give you a example, i installed android on a Diamond. Now The diamond has 5 buttons in the front, 2 on the side, and one on the top.
The Dial and the other one are pretty obvious. The back key is just that, the BACK key. Now, the HOME key, is the menu key. I was missing the Home key, and really missing, like, how the hell do i get out of here?
Until i noticed, the Power button only powers the phone, it does not powers off.
When the phone is on, it acts as the HOME button.
Hardware keys, are a must on the droid...

You could use atools and reassign the back hardware button to one that works.

[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

HTC 10 Nougat Menu Button?

Hi, i just updated my phone to Nougat, and i miss the feature of long pressing the recent apps button that gives me a menu button (MM feature?). Is it possible to activate that again? It seems to be replaced with split window feature. In addition, in the display settings, in the buttons section enables the menu button. Does that only show the menu (three dots) button on apps only? (has nothing to do with the capacitive buttons on the phone?)
Thank you for reading this, look forward to a reply
Before Nougat:
Choose from the options: Always open recent apps. Press for menu, press and hold for recent apps. Press for recent apps, press and hold for menu.
After Update:
Display options - buttons- menu button

holding the button on the right to open up split screen is a feature of nougat.
I knew of the feature to hold the button down to bring up a menu, but im guessing it wasnt widely utilised, hence its removal.
There may be a way, using root, to change what the button does, but I wouldnt know how. Someone else probably does though.

Hey thats a bummer, i loved that feature! i not really fond of the split screen feature, its not really that useful to me.
Thanks for letting me know. Hopefully, ill flash a custom rom on this phone soon.

This is bull****! They could at least give us a choice of choosing what does the button do. Now I will have to install a custom rom to get back that menu button

Can someone who has a Twitter account describe this menu button issue to Graham Wheeler or Mo Versi ?
We`ll get a better chance of them fixing it then.
