My lock button is shot, and I was wondering if there was a way to give the volume rocker the same functionality for waking up the phone. I do not want to bypass the lock screen, such as with no lock, and I want to use the default lock screen not widget locker. Is this possible? I just want the phone to wake up when I press the volume button.
Side note, anyone else break their power button and replace it or fix it? It doesnt seem like it would be all that difficult, just wondering if anyone else has done that.
anyone have any solutions for this? I'm rooted so if there is any way to actually re-map the volume up key to have the function of the power key I could do that....
Cm7. 1 has an option to use the volume rocker to wake the phone.
Edit.... Decks rom might have the same option, as it's based off CM, but don't quote me on that as I have never used it.

if your ever playing any games and you accidently hit home or any other button then you know what im talking about. since the buttons are touch sensitive you may get some accidental clicks. i wish there was a way you could lock the bottom row of buttons, not sure if its possible though. maybe by combining two of the physical buttons (such as volume up and down) we could lock the bottom row until we need to use those keys again and then we could unlock in a similar fashion. is there anyway possible someone could develop this?
+1 for this. I like the idea of it being toggled with volume buttons, or maybe long pressing the power button and adding it to that menu. It would have to be included in a rom though, you cant give that power to just any app. or you'll never be able to close it without rebooting.
every time i watch a video a hit the search button by mistake. i really wish someone would do this. also it would be better if you hold volume up and power buttons.
Ya I actually just had it happen again with gvba. Note: it really sucks if you accidently hit the back button. Lock please!

is there any way to disable volume buttons to wake the phone up when using no screen lock?
I've tried to modify qwery.kl and utms_jordan.kl but no luck.
using latest nordic, it didn't happen on 2.1
thanks.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.
so it seems i can wake the phone with either the home button or the power button. thats all good. the problem is when im using poweramp with its lockscreen enabled. if i wake the phone with the power button, the poweramp lockscreen immediately appears. if i wake the phone with the home button, i get the normal lockscreen and then after a couple seconds, the poweramp lockscreen appears. i cant find any settings anywhere that would possibly treat home button wake differently than power button wake. anyone else notice this or know of a setting somewhere im maybe missing?
I had an option inthe setting for 4.3 to cause the volume keys to wake the phone. Can't find it in 4.4. Been searching with no luck. Anyone know of some app that mi ght be able to do this? I'm also looking for an app that allows me to add the power menu to the quick panel. Any help would be much appreciated. Power button is faulty on my phone so these options have become essential.
Is there a method, an app or a tweak to unlock the screen with home button? I don't want to swype the screen I want to use the home button to unlock it.
This option it's available on Cyanogenmod and I thought if there is this even on our galaxy note 2.
bump!
Some custom roms have this functionality available. If you are rooted, you could also install something like Xposed Additions to change behaviour of keys in different phone states. So basically you would make the menu key to a power key when screen is off and disable the screen lock. Or did you mean that you'd like to wake the device with the power button and then press menu to unlock a lockscreen?
