Three methods.
S-Pen. Press button and hold pen onto screen.
Buttons. Press power and home at the same time.
Swipe. Place side of palm on edge of screen and swipe to the other side. Sort of wax-on-wax-off type motion. My personal fave for showing off.

Well when you want to use the phone you have to press the power button first right? Then slide to unlock.
Is it possible to remap the button to switch screen on from the power button to say...clicking the trackpad? A native way or an app i don't mind. Just seems strange to reach to the top of the phone and i have pretty big hands, it's no problem just me being me i guess.
Download keyguard disabler, then you will be able to turn on the screen with any of the bottom buttons.
Though pressing trackpad seems best as others invoke some kind of action.

the nexus one trackpad has been remapped to wake up the screen, ... but *i think* it has to be rooted first.

Oh that's a shame! Yeah i think any key would cause me to make mistaks while it is in my pocket that's why i would like the trackpad.
I'll live in hope!
Well it was recommended an app called flyscreen but that turned out to be a full lock screen replacement. Not really what I want!
I don't want to give up on this it's my only gripe lol. Anyone any ideas? Or help? Nothing from the Nexus One?
We may have to wait till it's rooted before we get this feature
How about just locking the screen rather than turn it off?

Great way to drain your battery really fast...
If Paul from Modaco gets his Desire it could be rooted very soon. Let's hope so and i want this feature first lol.
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?

this.
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.
it's like modding a car... you won't be able to stop until it explodes.

Install NoLock. When you'll turn it on Unlocked, you'll be able to wake your phone with the trackpad, the volume or the camera buttons
Hey Guys,
As of today, I have noticed a button which looks like half a ball on my phone... When I click it a list of programs pop out?
I can move it to the top of the screen, the bottom and middle of the screen... But I cannot turn it off?
Do you guys know what it is?
If it's any help, I can say that I am using go launcher...

Lucky son of a gun!!!...
I have my fingers crossed the AT&T version will also have Multi-Window at launch or at least get an update soon after.
What do you mean by multi? i have just tried it... Holding down the back button for 2 seconds, and then opening a program. It just opens up a new program at full screen
Drag an icon to to the top and another to the bottom

Why would you want less screen for your apps? Tap or swipe down to get your buttons back. I don't believe you can lock the buttons there.
Im comming from galaxy note 2 and mis having dedicated buttons. Now its one more step to access any of the home buttons. You are right about loosing some screen size if buttons are on all the time. I would like to try both ways... If not I just have to get used to it.

Found a solution that might help others..
I installed Pie Controls and not have access to home buttons and more at thumb level. This used to need root, but not any more.
Only function that need access is the back , for this in setting go to General > Accessibility scroll dows to Services and Pie is listed as Off just turn On and back button in pie control will work.
Cheers if it helps anyone.
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.

It does work with the Note 7, but not with the stylus from what I can see.

This works great when the phone is unlocked. Is there any way we can unlock the phone in similar manner?

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

Just like how device will TURN ON Iris Scanner after swiping on lock screen only. Same but a press applies for the fingerprint. This app leaves the fingerprint sensor ON at all times. Will it drain battery? Does it cause any other problems?
