Volume rocker wake - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Hey guys, just upgraded from a Atrix 4g and loving the phone.
I've been looking for to wake my phone by using the volume rockers. I got the new otterbox commuter and it's much harder to press the power button,a bit easier to press rockers. I found a few threads talking about it but nothing that works.
I edited a few files in the /system/usr/keylayout folder to allow WAKE on the volume keys followed by a restart but nothing works.
Any ideas on how to do this on a stock s3 at&t?

You'll have to manually switch back, but it works.

Indeed. Aside from the boot combinations that's about it.
Epic-ly tapped from my Galaxy SII
Hold search button for voice commands.
Now we're done
well if were gonna go there, hold home for recent apps
and i wish holding back would kill current app like in MIUI
Menu key opens menu (in apps that support it).
The volume rocker obviously controls the volume... And if you hold the volume down it puts your phone on silent with vibration.
Lol... Now were done here.

I did this while trying to respond to this post and my phone suddenly rebooted. I'm not sure what I did wrong
Home brings you to the home screen when in an app.
And we're done

Some ROMs allow for holding volume buttons to change tracks. I think we're done now ;p

heres a hidden one...tapping the power button turns the screen off. techwire news just announced a juicy little tip, tapping power button one time while screen is off will actually turn it back on thought id pass these new tricks on.

Well, if you're going to get into the soft keys, holding Home brings up recently used apps and task manager. hold the search brings up an app selection including Sound hound if you have it installed.

Does anyone know if there is a way to manually assign something to a long menu press on stock? I know you can do it with CM7, but I haven't found anything for TouchWiz.
If your phone is on and you have cwm installed you can press and hold the power and volume buttons together and it will take you straight to recovery.

[Request] Button mod

My up volume button is broke and now it don't click when volume up is pressed its essentially turned into a touch sensitive button, I've already been using the no volume keys mod from viper x on it but when music is playing even on screen off the volume keys work, does anyone know how to disable this? I'm sick of my music blaring when it's in my pocket, thanks

[Q] Volume up button

Just wanted to confirm that holding the volume up button is supposed to keep increasing the volume right?
When I hold the volume up button on mine it only increase the volume by one step, the same as if I just press it once. However my volume down button decreases the volume continuously.
Just want to do a quick check before I return it.
Thanks.

Yes it should go to max volume if you hold it down. Are you 100% stock?

Confirmed, when you hold the vol up or vol down it should go all the way up or down.
Thanks guys and yes it was complete stock. No root no unlock. I returned it since they don't have anymore stock for exchange.

Volume keys turning on screen.

When I first setup my note II, I set it so the home button WOULDN'T turn on the screen and the volume keys would change music tracks. When my screen was off, I could hold volume up/down and the screen would stay off and the music track would change accordingly.
Recently, when I hold a volume key, the track will change, but then the screen will unlock. I've edited the gpio-keys file, but that didn't do anything.
Is there any way to figure out why the volume keys are unlocking the screen?
What ROM because it may very based on what you're in
