ICS roms phone app annoying

Hey all. This is my first topic, anyone else notice with the phone app there is no contact button?

Yeah, easier way is to type the first digits of the name using numbers.

Ahhh i didnt know that! Thanks. Do you happen to know if devs could put a contact button in there? That would be awesome!

(Q) App to lock turning off the device with pin?

Hello peeps.. quick question.. does anyone know if there is an app that will prevent the user from turning it off with the power button? Pretty much requires a pin to turn off the phone.. any ideas?

I don't think so. But there was one that locked out certain apps. And what you could do is map the power button to say a camera button or totally disable it, then use an app from the market that would turn the screen off. With the password app locking the screen off app. ... hope you followed

Why "back button" goes "home" on xda app.?.

Is anyone else having the same problem i'm having.?. Everytime i hit the back button instead of going back to the last page it goes home, but only on xda for some reason. Maybe a setting somewhere i'm missing.?. tia
I am rooted btw..

Just read some reviews on the app and found that a lot of other phones are having the same issues, so its the app that needs to be updated or unless there is a way around it some how..

Home button wake up phone

Is there a mod like that...where I could use the home button to wake my
Phone because my power button just popped off yesterday...or know any to me that do that...I know Pacman Rom does...thanks in advance...

Thought all ROMs allowed it unless they removed it.

I think the OP meant to have the phone POWER UP using that button, instead of wake up....

If that is the case, I've never seen that, would be interesting. Should not have said "wake" OP, wake insinuates it was sleeping (screen just off) not "dead". You said that it was in the Pac Man rom where did you find it there?

You can try to change key layout. Make nandroid backup for safty and go to system/usr/kaylayout. I don't know which key is which so you would have to look around in there. I can't guarantee that this will work because I never tried that, but it should. Let us know about results.
Good luck

No I just ment wake up...cause to get to my recovery i have to use a paperclip to push in where my power button was...but yeah I ment wake up so I could still wake it up to even use my phone but im gonna check yhose files ill tell you what I find...thanks for the help guys...

This thread should answer your questions. Instead of removing wake make sure wake is included.

Pretty sure only a couple roms removed that, every rom I've tried wakes up with the home button. About all but 4 lol.

If you ment just wake up I'm going to look which files and keys I have for that and I will give you names of them so you can edit them.
Update: Ok, I've checked that and it seems that key 172 in sec_keys.kl is home button. So if you would just add "WAKE" after it then you should be ok. I think that if you would also add "POWER" then it should power on or off (?) your phone. I don't know how you would be able to get to recovery then but it's interesting. Maybe phone will think that you press both buttons? xD

As a workaround to get into recovery without using a paperclip, you can use any of a number of apps that have a reboot to recovery option.

Long home press doesn't bring up open apps

Have a weird bug that comes and goes and can't figure out why or how to fix it. Long pressing home should bring up all open apps and let you get to task manager. Most the times it works, but every once in awhile it will completely stop working. A reset fixes it or if i just wait awhile it will come back.
Anyone else get this or know of a fix? Home button still works, just not the long press

I get this now and then. Only solution I've found is a reboot

This happens to me sometimes right after or during watching an online video through the browser, it doesn't work until the video player or the system UI force closes(takes around a minute)
