[Q] Alternative to Power Button to turn screen on / off - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

It's been something that has bothered me ever since I bought my Galaxy Nexus. The existence of just one physical button to switch the screen on and off makes me question the lifetime of Power Button.
Does anyone know of any apps, mods, whatever for this? My first thought was to enable the Volume Keys to wake up the screen, I have also read about the proximity sensor but I don't think having the sensor active all the time is a good approach. Another way could be shaking the phone to turn it on.

Taken from a google search .... "There's an app called "No Lock" that will wake the Nexus One using the Volume rocker"
May work on the Galaxy Nexus too maybe but i dont know

Yea, I've seen that app too but it doens't do exactly what I want. Plus it disables entirely the lock screen which is certainly something I do not want. :\

look for smart screen on app, it enables you to turn your device on and off with the proximity sensor

Cm9 has volume rocker wake. It also has a notification toggle that turns off the screen.

Screen off & Lock works fine & cuts the wear & t4ear on the power button in half. I halve it set up as swipe action in Nova launcher.

AOKP had volume rocker wake in the ROM Control too.

Can try this app "Smart screen on"
it uses the proximity sensor to wake the phone..

Have you tried "ShakeOff"? Turn the screen off/on with a shake. I haven't tested it on the GN but it used to work on my old phone.

Volume rocker. You have warranty anyway for a year.
Also, you do realize there's only one way to accelerate in a car right? Are you worried that the pedal won't work everyday so you'll need to find an alternative way to drive?

that's a nice analogy. now consider this:
car's are made to last, let's say, for 10 years.
smartphones and electronics/gadgets in general aren't.
not even going to mention the "years of expertise" behind the mechanics on a car.
thanks - everyone - for the replies I will try those!

I will say the power button on this phone is we made and I'm sure it will last just fine
I've had worse. Like my thunderbolt

AOKP can do what you request.

my power button on my GN stopped functioning after 6 months of use. It requires me to press in very hard to get a response now or none at all. I'm in the process of backing everything up and beginning the warranty process with expansys. Have to say, I considered this to be the best phone I've ever had and this just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

You could always try PGM Nexus (free). It allows you to unlock your phone by sliding your finger across the screen.

how so? I'm not one to nitpick small flaws, every phone has them. the power button failing is a major issue though. I would've still attributed it to a defective exception if I hadn't see many more people reporting the same thing. I did start using the volume rocker wake in cm9, but probably a bit too late

I have used this for a couple months and it works really great!

Even i worry a lot about the power button thingy. I use PGM nexus free version and it partially does the job. But for screen off i still have to use the power button.
Had a very bad experience with my moto milestone regarding the power button.

how to wake up phone from standby?

This might be a dumb question, but, on the G2, how do you wake the phone up from standby without actually opening the keyboard?
With the G1, all I had to do was press the Menu button, but that doesnt work on the G2. So far, the only way to wake up the G2 is by flipping the keyboard open, or hitting the power switch.
I don't own the phone but played with one in store yesterday. There is a power button on the top of the phone, this brings it out of standby. I kind of hoped a push of the trackpad would also but it does not.
It really bothers me coming from the Nexus that they swaped sides of the headphone jack and power/sleep button. On most all of HTC's other phones the pow/sleep button is on the top left, perfect for my (smallish) right hand pointer finger. Now that they swapped it to the top right, my world is falling apart...

Hahaha, yeah I'm having the same problem!
I'm so accustomed to having the power button on the left that this phone is completely throwing me off!
Yup... as far as I know, tapping the power button on top will bring it out of standby.
Frustrating not being able to wake it up any other way than the power button or open it up....I want to be able to push the trackpad...anyone figure this one out yet?

try proximity screen off its a great app uses a yoda like gesture across the prox to turn off your screen, i love it
and am in no way affiliated with the software or dev

and I wouldn't recommend rooting/custom roms just to change how the phone wakes up. not worth it if that's your biggest complaint with the phone.

Disable Volume Wake Galaxy Nexus 4.0.4 Leaked ROM

Ever since I've flashed the leaked "stock" 4.0.4 ROM the volume buttons will wake the screen as well as the power button. (I'm told stock doesn't do this so someone has been playing around....?) I don't recall which 4.0.4 ROM I downloaded but regardless - if your Nexus does this and you don't like it, here is how to fix it.
Navigate to /system/usr/keylayout/ with Root Explorer or such and mount as read/write.
Make a backup of tuna-gpio-keypad.kl -- just in case
Then open tuna-gpio-keypad.kl in a text editor.
You will see 3 values after all of the header text information:
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE
key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE
key 116 POWER WAKE
Delete the "WAKE" from the buttons you wish NOT to have wake the phone.
Save the file and restart.
FINALLY! No more accidental unlocking. I'm not sure why one would want the volume keys to unlock the phone when the power button does already but to each their own.
Consequently... if you wanted your stock phone to wake on volume you could maybe open the file and add in the "WAKE" - or the whole lines if they aren't already there. No guarantees on that though. Also no guarantees on this either - of course.
Why would anyone want that? Because its less wear and tear on the power button. I almost always only used the volume for audio. So allowing it to wake the device is allowing me to use volume and power buttons more evenly.

That doesn't happen on stock anyway, even if leaked. Not unless someone enabled it before you flashed it.

The big problem for me is I use Tasker to automatically switch to different volume modes based on where I am. Having such a big button on one side seems to almost daily get triggered and then my ringer isn't where I want it or I miss calls/texts because it got on silent (one volume press down from vibrate). I've also done weird things accidentally because I'll reach in my pocket and touch a volume button and as I'm pulling it out things get touched on the screen.
I should probably also mention I'm not using a lock screen - that's probably also part of what makes it such a pain having it accidentally pressed.
Again, to each their own. I found it annoying for my situation so I'm sure someone else will as well and will appreciate the tutorial.

Right. Which is why I'm wondering why a "stock" 4.0.4 ROM had this messed with.... I wish I remembered which ROM it was because I think it was mis-labeled... lol
Must have been
I've heard this a couple times, but I flashed my wife's phone with IMM30B (the ota, not a rom) when it leaked, and it has never existed this behavior.
Mah-ha! Googled the kernel version and found it.

I only got the "Rooted,De-odexed,Zip-aligned ROM With Stock Insecure Boot Image Without Radios & Bootloader" and the "Native Tethering Hack".

Here's another reason. The pogo pins are on the same side as the power button. So when the phone is in the horizontal desktop dock you can't unlock the phone. At least not with anything less than 4.0.4 and I'm not sure how they do it because I don't have it yet. It may very well be with that change to the power button. That may be why they did it in 4.0.4.

Doubt it as the method in 4.0.4 doesn't work with slide unlock. It only works when the os is not locked.
So the volume only wakes the screen if not locked. If it is locked, it does not work.
I can confirm that the volume buttons wake the device on a 100% stock Sprint Galaxy Nexus. I checked the file and sure enough, both buttons on the volume rocker have WAKE next to them. Kind of annoying when the phone constantly wakes throughout the day due to my slightly-snug case. I was going to wait and see how long I could go before rooting, but this may just be a deal breaker.
so i can add the volume wake in a stock rom by entering those lines?
edit: those lines are there.. but volume doesnt wake

So adding the "WAKE" doesn't cause the volume buttons to wake the phone? Interesting.

I have my device set to lock with a pattern, if that's what you mean. I press the power button to lock the device and turn the screen off, then when I press either button on the volume rocker, the phone's screen turns right back on and prompts me to enter the pattern, just as pressing the power button would.
Huh...Sprint must have changed the behavior, because AOSP 4.0.4 only works that way if it is not locked.

They must have; the only reason I can think of would be, as I believe someone else mentioned in the thread, the upcoming (current?) availability of an official dock would mean that the phone can't be woken up without the volume keys, unless you physically remove it from the dock, press the power button, then re-dock it.
The pros way outweigh the cons with the Galaxy Nexus. Especially if your not rooting. Because you could easily change the volume wake feature.
You go to another phone because you don't want to root and change a feature-and then get a phone with “skin" over ICS? You also get all kinds of crapware from the manufacturer and carrier. Again, the GN stock is still a better choice than a lot of other devices.

I see. With you NOT using the lock screen it makes sense for not using the volume wake feature. I do use the lock screen. It feels great having all these options with our Android devices.

Oh for sure. I'm by no means saying that I'm turning in my Galaxy Nexus because a button does something that I don't want it to do. Eventually I'll root it and just edit the file to suit my needs.
I completely agree that the pros outweigh the cons on the GN. Hell, I stuck with a Samsung Moment for two and a half years, despite all of its craptastic bugs, issues, and painful nuances.
I was merely pointing out that this is my biggest gripe with the phone thus far, and given that it's a pretty minor one, I'd say we're all doing pretty well with the device.

[Q] Remapping the Power button

My phone fell from my hand. And now the power button is not working. How to I remap it to the Search button? And will it be able to switch off/on the phone if it shuts down?

You cannot. it is hardwired to a pin, thats why you can force a reboot even if the phone locks up. You might be able to remap some functions, but not poweron/off and screen on. because when the screen is off the digitizer is in sleep mode so the search button wouldnt respond unless it was activated. Sorry to hear about you dropping the phone. Any warranty left?
No warranty
just another thought, sorry to hear about your phone. However, are you sure its the power button? since you dropped it, it might be caused by other hardware failure... you may need to consider the possibility as well..

depending on country/distributor some comes with only 1 year. Then again, i don't think they will entertain a claim caused by user... usually only covers factory defaults.
I bought mine from the US though i Live in India. So no warranty
this means... you have to use a pin to short the switch and boot it up everytime lol. Then enable wake using vol button to wake the phone haha.
How is it not working? Is it pressed below the unibody?
if so, I had the same issue, what i did was; remove the cover (first the battery, volume buttons and gps) and then while having the backcover in my hand, I took a small stump or something alike and pressed on the button from both sides, like 5 times each side.
Then put the thing together and it worked perfectly.
I've actually done this 3 times because I drop my phone very often xD
But if it don't work you should definitely get "Tap Tap App" which makes you unlock your phone with the proximity sensor located to the right of your speaker (the little black dot).
Hope it helps! Both solutions worked for me!
*Edit, oh yeah you can get a mod to use volume buttons to wake it up aswell, as the person above me mentioned ^^
Good luck!

How are you actually meant to turn this off?

Did anyone at HTC actually use this device? The power button is an absolute joke. 50% of the time I wind up messing with the volume on my way to turn the phone off and put it back in my pocket.
How do you guys sleep this thing? The nexus 5 buttons are so much better.

First I have a nexus5 also and there is no comparison on the buttons. They rattle when you shake it. Anyways maybe you have a bad device. I just set mine to hold home to turn screen off so I never even have to hit the button but my button works fine if I need it.

Indeed. I'm contemplating a return and sticking with either my moto x or nexus 5 so k won't be rooting it at the moment.
Its bizarre that they added motion gestures basically acknowledging the button isn't great, is there no off gesture?

Except sometimes, I long press the power button, then I get a short vibration & several options regarding resetting or powering down my phone. Thanks for confirming the presence of the other features tho! I am glad to see that the power button functions to start the device, as well as turn the display on & off. I am certainly happy to discover that the power buttons function didn't change just because HTC located it somewhere other than where LG located it!
Seriously, I also have a N5 (with ZERO button issues, rock solid), but I much prefer the HTC button placement. No accidentally turning the device off while just trying to adjust the volume with only a left hand available at the time.

Yeah, I actually prefer the button being in the top. I never really liked the power button on the side.
My hands aren't big either, if anything they're smaller than an average guy.
It just takes a small shift to turn it off with one hand, just being careful you don't press the volume buttons. Which became easy after a couple days of use for me.

Tap the Home Button instead of Press?

This is my first Samsung, and also the first phone I can remember using with a physical home button. I've searched around in the mess that is Touch WIz, and haven't found what I'm looking for.
Is it possible to set the home button to register taps instead of full presses, like the touch pad on a Macbook for example? It obviously knows when your finger is on it, so why do we need to press it in completely?
I'm sure I will get used to it eventually, but it would be nice if you could just tap/touch it like the two capacitive buttons on either side of it...
Thanks.

Why not just press the home button normally at that point? I feel like a simple touch would be activated all the time in your pocket on accident leading to lock screen issues.

I came from a Nexus 6p and somehow I feel bit odd to press the home button (I know it's silly). I don't think a simple touch will unlock the phone in my pocket as the finger print is still needed to unlock the device. However this is not currently working with the above suggested app.

Wow never knew this app existed. I was using swipe gestures to bypass the home button but this works so much better! Doesn't work in all situations though I noticed.
I haven't tried that app yet, but I'll give it a shot. It seems like such a small thing, but between that tap/press and the reversed back/recent buttons I am like a drunk trying to operate this phone...
EasyHome works ok but not good as Virtual Home on my 6s so I uninstalled it
