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.
Hi there guys,
i want to ask u if u know a way to remap physical key on galaxy nexus or another way to turn on from "standby" the cell without always pressing the power button...
i can think that fast it will be insible to touch after long use or continuisly press
thanks for your answer and tips about it
I'm not entirely sure what your asking. There are only 3 physical keys on the device and one of them needs to be used as the power button. If you mean turning the screen on by pressing the screen, this wouldn't make much sense as the screen needs to be on to detect touch.
only 2 physical keys...
1)power on/off button
2)volume
when the screen is black i can turn it on only by pressing the power button, i'm looking for another way to turn the screen on, ex. shacking the phone, pressing the screen, pressing volume key or etc...
The volume consists of 2 physical buttons...
All sensors are off by default when the screen is off. Turning these on would drain your battery dramatically.
If you were to change your power on button to one of your volume keys, what would be the point? You'd just lose the ability to change your volume easily and have a useless power button.
remap the volume key was just an example...
the matter is: is there any other way to turn on the screen without press the power button? with the constantly and massive use of it, it will become fragile and easy to break out.
i use volume up/down and power on /off randomly, all are enabled to wake up the device on aokp milestone 4. i think they may have designed the buttons to survive for quite some time since there is only 1 regular button for the job. other buttons on other phones dont just die and break out do they?
edit: by enabled i meant it is possible to select them as usable. stock doesnt have it afaik (didnt have stock long enough to find out)

no, its an option in the Rom Controls under the lockscreen options menu.
Glados kernel has a touch wake option. You can set it for any length of time after the screen goes off. This will also prevent your phone from going into deep sleep so it can affect your battery.

yes and this is the problem, my experience with other phones with "one function key" usually they break out "easily"
ok so from what u all wrote guys my only option is to root the phone and install a new rom with that "touch screen option"
can u indicate to me better where i can find the roms you are talking about? i'll appreciate it a lot
AOKP found in the development section

If I get what you trying to say here, you can try button saviour(root), there is a screen off and other onscreen buttons features(back/home/menu/vol etc) that's quite handy too.
If thats an app bro sorry not the one im looking for..
Im looking for something to edit in the phone to make the screen off by pressing a custom button, e.i pressing the home twice and the screen is off. Press once and the screen is on.
The power button is too far, i mean my finger needs to jump there just to turn off the screen. If u get me bro..

umm i don't think there is a mod for such a particular and specific personal perference
There are tap to execute and similar app that make use of the Proximity sensor of the phone to wake up phone without having to press the power button.
Personally I only tried softpower.
Description
Turn screen OFF and turn screen ON without touch power button.
SoftPower will safe your physical power button by use Search button or notification to turn screen OFF(and lock) and use proximity sensor changing to turn screen ON.
Note:
-Proximity sensor on device is required for Turn ON function to work.
-To uninstall, do this first. Settings-> Locations & Security(or Security in ICS)-> Device Administrators then uncheck SoftPower.

ive been looking for this too, since ALL SCREEN OFF APPS dont make your phone go into deep sleep resulting into battery drain, only the physical power button can make you phone into deep sleep and auto idle i think, im looking for a shorcut not widget or app to mimic the physical power button so i can set it into gesture and alike to make my phone go into deep sleep
try cm10 fxp150, u can easily lock your screen from notification bar
If you install cm10 I'd recommend enabling the navigation bar and setting the back button long press to make your phone sleep. It's wonderful to use!

how you did that can you teach step by step?
Sometimes my Wildfire S lock button doesn't work, sometimes it works. Maybe it's just me, or I think it is broken.
Do you think there is a way I can unlock my phone without using the lock button? Thanks!

My power button has suffered the same fate.....One way is to use a Rom with the "Volume rocker wake" feature
Or if you want risk it you can buy a replacement power button online
IMHO you'll get used to it after some time....just press the power button with little extra force
Or you could give it to your service center for repair, free under warranty. If not, then you can pay them and get it fixed.
Mine also has the same problem, even my volume down doesn't work with a normal press. Gonna send it to CrapTC soon.

you could install apps that use proximity sensor or volume button to unlock.
Or but the power button flex online and check youtube tear down videos and replace it your self.
If any Devs get a chance can you please MOD the new update to include Volume Rocker Wake. Or show me how to do it step by step? it would be greatly appreciated since my power button is dead. Thanks in advance
how do you restart your phone if the power button is dead? How is normal use affected? Curious because im always paranoid about mine breaking lol

Besides having to wake the phone, the power button is useless to me. I use apps like RomToolBox to restart and go into recovery. Goo.im App can go into recovery as well. When the phone dies during business ours, which never happens, I can plug it into a usb and boot up by holding vol+and vol- to boot or just put into my cars dock and it boots without power button. I use CM based roms with volume rocker wake. besides that, the phone also wakes from unplugging and plugging chargers...Power button doesn't really matter to me as long as volume rocker wake is enable.
im interested in this as well, my power buttom died once already and got it fixed, but I try to press it as little as possible.
so op, your power button isnt 'stuck' but totally broken? im just scared the my button will stick and stay in a bootloop. Btw you can use 'spob' app to wake the phone using the proximity sensor. Right now im using switch pro and lock the phone and spob to wake it - dont have to use the powee button at all haha
