Hi all,
Is there any clever way of waking up the HOX from standby using the better positioned buttons like volume up/down, home button etc?
Not interested in any of the apps that activate by shaking or moving phone as I fear it will activate too often in my pocket etc.
Regards, Jens
U should try a custom rom like viper rom
It has alot of tweaks but volume wake up
Not working in deep sleep
For me i use viper rom & custom kernel to use s2wake :thumbup::thumbup:

i use an app called awesome on off. you wake the phone by picking it up at a specific angle (you can choose the angle from a list). i set it to 80 degrees and then carry it around upside down if in a pocket so it won't activate on its own.

If your bootloader is unlocked, your can try CM10 / RD-MIUI which have this feature.
There should be many other custom ROMs with this feature also, but definitely not ARHD.
Give a search for sweep2wake a wonderful feature which works on ARHD perfectly with custom kernels (I use Faux 12b1). Less the hardware button is pressed more the longivity of the device (telling from a bitter past experience)
Also ARHD with Suite Tools has an option of Vol +/- wake feature.
Suite tools isn't available yet on JB. I want swipe wakeup features also

I promise - I watched the video and searched the hell out of this before posting...
can you change the wake phone function from the power button to, say, the volume keys and/or the home soft button?
thanks in advance. please don't slaughter me if this is posted elsewhere!

Idk where it is at in the samsung devices but usually you can change the key layout by editing user-key layout you can also remap the search button to any app.

i can see how that would be useful but i couldn't find it and moreover, i think when the phone goes into sleep-mode, those soft keys are disabled. i guess i am looking for a way to either wake the phone with the volume keys - or - somehow enable those soft buttons so i can hit the home one and wake up my phone.

You would have to give the keys a set wake option. I can do it for htc devices but i don't know much about samsung devices. You would want a volume rocker wake I'm guessing or menu and back wake right. You can also use an app called widget locker it enables you to wake the device from volume rocker etc.
thanks again for the thoughts.
i think i'll patiently wait a few weeks for people smarter than me to start writing apps specific to this phone.
have a great day!
I think this will come in handy since some of us don't want to wear out the power button but be able to use both. The only problem I might see using the volume button is when you are listening to something with your headphones. Would pressing the volume button be changing the volume or waking the phone? hahaha..i'm sure there will be options.
The latest version of Juggernaut has that as an option, if you're into flashing custom roms.

That is correct, Juggernaut 2.6 has this feature and flashing is pretty simple.
i use this option on Juggernaut too. its great cuz i cant always reach the power button even tho i have huge hands.
which ROM except Juggernaut has this option, I mean waking phone up by sound button?
Darkside's Dewizzed does. and it's a GREAT rom.
I actually hate the 'feature'. I listen to music lots with my phone, and having to double tap the volume rocker to adjust volume sucks, and then it turns on the screen. Since half the time it's in my pocket and i'm pushing buttons through that... long story short i've pocket texted a couple times.
/rant.
Yes, and you can do this without rooting and without installing a custom rom by using the application widget locker, which has an option to wake the phone using the volume keys. Otherwise several roms support this such as the Darkside Dewizzed rom.
Epic bump, but Josh from mobile tech videos gave my phone a solution like this when my phone had an internal shortage. He set the volume+ button as the wake button and it did involve the key layout as someone in this thread had said earlier. Ill be back with a link to an xda thread that had the same idea but for a different device.
I bump this because even though he changed the button layout, I completely forgot about it and flashed a different rom :S now I seek a solution.

ParanoidAndroid also has this function. I already had my power button fail once and had to replace it I now have the option of using the volume buttons or power button to wake the phone.
Hi guys,
Got my One X a few days ago and loving it so far! My only complaint is the position of the power button- seems like they put it in the most awkward place possible!
Does anyone know of a mod to use the volume keys, or a double tap, or something to wake the device, to save using the power button? I know there's alternatives to lock the device via apps, but it's more the unlocking I'm concerned with.
Surely I'm not the only one who needs this?!
Thanks in advance,
Neil
You can use Sweep2Wake. It wakes the device by sweeping over the touch buttons.
I have another issue with the placement of this button, or rather, how the button behaves. If I put my One X in my pocket with the button up, and then proceed to bend down and tie my shoelaces, the device will almost always reboot, this is because the button is being held down for something like 8 seconds, and it doesn't matter if the device is sleeping or not when I do it. This is because the button is acting like a power button does on a computer and I do understand the need for something like that, but having it bound to a single button? That is a bad idea. On iPhones you have to hold both the power and home buttons for 6 seconds to trigger a hardware power-off sequence. <-- this is how it should be done!
I hate where they positioned the button! I much prefer where samsung put it.
Same here got my HTC One X just two days and loving it but why they put the powerbutton on the right side is annoying, means I have to use two hands constantly to not drop the phone to the ground if would use one hand.
It's funny cause putting the button up top use to be norm for most cell phones

Rekoil, that looks idea but is it only available with a custom ROM?
I flashed every other week on my Desire but don't fancy doing it just yet with my One X!

Anybody else bugged by the fact that they put the on/off button, like, the least reachable place on the phone?
I always have to juggle the phone around in my hand to reach the button, and then I have to juggle it back to reach the unlock ring. I mean, the two things I do most, pressing the on button and then sliding the unlock ring, are placed as far apart as possible. It's oddly cumbersome for such an elegant device. It's just a matter of time until I drop the damn thing. (I guess that way HTC sells more replacement screens... )
The volume buttons are where my thumb is, but I never use them. They are mostly in the way and I press them more by accident than on purpose.
Any idea whether there's a way to switch the on and volume buttons? There's probably no mod that can currently do this, but is this technically possible?
That is where the purpose of volume button to wake comes in handy. And yes, it is possible to do that.
Naah... not with me..
Yes it was a little bit difficult... but now I've become used to it....
there's a a mod for that
volume buttons to wake up the phone
use rc 3.0 or else search its thread

ummm... try searching -apm+ volume to wake

I am using the volume wake thingie. But it will, you know, change my volume setting if I listen to any audio. Which I do a lot.
Also, you can't lock the phone with it. Which precludes my main use of the button: unlock phone, check clock or notifications, lock phone.
Anyways, I wondered about the technical possibility of just switching the buttons.

Well, then there is public interest in finding a way to mod the keys, right?
Try a two second timer.
I have somewhat large hands, and the placement doesn't bother me. I can reach the button with my index finger and reach the ring with my thumb.
I do really miss having an external camera button.
yeah its not too much of a problem for me. i can hit the power button, and then use the unlock ring, but it requires a bit of stretching. i dont have to move the placement of the phone in my hand though.
Hi,
I've decided it's time to root my phone and install Cyanogenmod 10 to get some JB goodness.
However, I'm currently using a case (Incipio NGP) that makes the side unlock button very difficult to press. Because of this, i only use the side button to LOCK the phone, and instead use the physical home button on the front of the phone to UNLOCK it.
What I want to know is, with CM10, will I still be able to unlock the phone using the front physical home button?
I'm going to ignore that fact that using a case that impedes proper use of the phone is just silly.
Do you mean to wake or unlock? The home and power button both wake the phone on CM10. Home button can be a bit hit and miss at this point, but multiple presses resolves this and it will be fixed in the long run.

Idk about cm10 but task650 and ktoonsez ROM you can use both buttons to wake. I'd try out AOKP. It is the best ROM out for the S3 in my opinion.

Hah yeah, might be a little silly but the case is just amazing in every other aspect so I'll deal with a slightly hard to press wake button.
And yes, what I meant was wake, not unlock. So you are saying that if i press the front home button a few times it will wake up and the screen will turn on?

I'm saying that both CM10 and AOKP work normally with regards to waking the phone like you'd expect when you press the home button. Just like stock.
However, as of right now some people are reporting that it doesn't always respond to the first press. That's just a bug that will certainly be worked out at some point.
The only way the home button is currently working a bit differently is when you have a delay set between the screen off and screen lock. My screen locks 1 minute after it goes off, but if you use the home button to wake the phone during this time, it will wake, but also close any app you have open.

That's pretty sketchy - I use a 30minute delay so I guess I'd have to take that off. Why is it that AOKP and CM10 both have the same bug - is it just a bug inherent to AOSP Jellybean with S3 hardware?

Well, "sketchy" isn't the word I'd use, but it is a bit frustrating.
AOKP is built off CM10 for the most part. CM10 is still in the very initial stages on the S3 and the concentration has been on improving graphic and audio performance as a priority.

Good to know, thanks.
The main things I need to work are:

Do the audio performance bug affect the google play music app (or music playback in general)?

The audio bugs were related to call audio and have largely been resolved in the latest nightlies.
As for texting, it works. Though there are two outstanding issues that may or may not impact you. 1) Concatenated SMS messages do not work, messages are split at 160 characters. Using an alternative SMS app is not a solution, as messages not split will fail to send. 2) Queueing messages in the stock app is annoying, and if one is attempting to send while you send another, it will fail instead of just getting in line.
I have installed slim bean (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2092572) ROM and discovered one functionality that drives me crazy.
Whenever I swipe across lowest part of the screen (where touch buttons back, home, menu exist) from right to left the phone wakes up. Doing it again it sleeps.
It behaves much like power-on button, except that it constantly powers on in my pocket and tries do dial emergency call.
I checked everything and I have no clue where to disable this functionality. What is this "feature" even called?
BTW, I have this kernel: boot-HELLBOY-CM10-201302142348
Thanks!
