[Q] volume button to wake phone - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi everybody,
i didn't find anywhere an answer to this:
is it possible to wake up the screen of the N7100 with the volume button?
i can't find mods or apps that have this function.

Why do you need it? There are already 2 buttons to wake it. No enough yet?

Haha, I had this mod on my Desire HD and it was great but I see absolutely no use for it on Note 2.
As Arsaw says, there are already two buttons you can use :good:

thanks for the answers.
i know there are already 2 buttons, but when i use the phone with left hand i find easier to wake it up with volume button.
i understand it's not a priority for developers, anyway if there will be, i will be glad

Third party lock screen replacement in the market like widget locker have that option if I'm not mistaken.

I always liked this feature with AOKP on my Gnex and I do miss it on the Note.
Edit: installed Widgetlocker. Seems the Note will not unlock via volume keys. Pity!

How to do i get a lock screen on ICS?

Hey guys!
My girlfriend and me just recently got the Galaxy S II and updated it to ICS. Now neither one of us have a lockscreen or when you hold the power button we dont get a menu the phone just shuts off.
Anyway of correcting this? I searched the forum and couldn't find anything.

Do you have your lock screen enabled?
Menu-->settings-->security-->screen lock options.
There are some good lockscreen apps at the playstore, too

"software" home button

Hey guys,
First what a nice forum is XDA! EX-Iphone user here, just bought and rooted+flashed CM10 nightly on my galaxy S3. A couple of bugs for some days, but now everything is working fine.
But there is one more little thing There's any chance to "emulate" or create a "gesture" to replace galaxy S3 home button ? I hate hardware buttons, on iPhone there was a Cydia tweak called Zephyr who alowed me to create screen gestures to perform any action.
and on android ? there's any chance to do that ? something like a gesture from bottom of screen or remap Menu button to something like: Two Taps it works like Home Button, one Tap it shows menu.
Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english and my lack ok knowledge on Android world. I just arrived :good:
possible if you flash the (older) nexus JB rom, that's the only time I came across software home button

[Q] Which is the best app to lock the screen and all the keys

Hello Guys,
I am looking for an app which disables screen touches as well as capacitive keys and power and volume keys when I am playing Rhymes for my toddler, tried No touch he always manages to find a way out to the home screen..
Any help appreciated. Thank you.
If you are talking about lock screen then try one of these two, I hope you'll find them helpful.
1. GOTO
2.WidgetLocker
thank you for your response. I think you misunderstood my requirement. I was not referring to the lockscreen. Anyway thanks for trying to help. Appreciate it.
Any more answers please...
Someone help please.
Have you tried zoodles?
Its a sandbox app that restricts usage to predefined apps.

Wouldn't it be scary if there's an app that can do these to your phone? How will you be able to turn the app off if non of the buttons and screen work?
I mean...unless you take battery out and in again...

True but at least there can be something like an on screen Pattern which will re enable the keys and touch

Q: Anyone elses home button having a bit of trouble?

Recently my home button hasn't been responding when I press it. Specifically when I want to wake up the phone from its black screen. Once the phone is awake and not on the lockscreen it works flawlessly. However from time to time it won't wake up my phone?
Anyone else got this issue?
Stock ROM shouldn't pose any problems. Some of the aosp Roms have an issue with home button unlock.

you know what i mean by home button right? I dont want to get it confused with the "lit up" buttons. I am talking about the hard middle button.
Cheers
Yes. The physical home button. And my previous response stands unless you are talking about a completely different issue.

Hardware key mapping.

Hey everyone! I've been looking on how to change my hardware keys. As in I would like to get rid of my navigation bar, which I know how to, and make my power button the home key. Or maybe something like one press goes home and then maybe a double tap would shut the screen off. Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you.

The easiest way is probably to use a Custom rom which supports hardware key remapping like this one:

You also can use Zip Themer. like here:

Now I seen the key mapping feature in du. However I can't make the lock button go to home.
