I am ISO an app to lock the screen that won't make double lock screen sound when used to lock screen? Pressing on power button does not produce double sound, but I need an app to use with a case that causes bad power button sensitivity or just for the time when I rather touch the widget...thanks for any info!
Found Screen off by devjst that does this.

As a former HTC Hero user i really miss the option to wake the screen using the bottom hardware buttons.
On the Desire you have to use the power button, but i hate the placement of that button.
Is there a way to use the "menu" or any other bottom hardware button to wake the screen?
BUT i still want to have the lockscreen, so the app which is mentioned in the tricks section on this board isn't cutting it for me since it will deactivate the lockscreen in order to let you use other hardware buttons to wake the screen.
Any other solutions? Isn't there some kind of "hardware button mapper" available like on windows mobile devices?
Just got my Desire today, so I am actually curious about this also.

Yes, but only possible on rooted handsets, no?
Probably :/
damn, don't want to root my desire as i have heard of random bricks.
another question:
is there an app to lock the screen using a widget?
so after i'm done with the current action, i don't want to use the power button to lock the screen, but a widget or a shortcut.
Is there a widget available for that? Or even better a widget to turn of the screen?
I have Lockbot Pro installed and I can wake the screen with any of the buttons at the bottom. Pressing Menu then gives me an 'unlock' bar on the screen which I can press to unlock (or I can swipe the screen in the standard way). Allows you to unlock without pressing the power button at all.
thanks for the hint. the app looks quite nice, but it seems to be very slow.
When waking the screen it takes very long until the lockscreen is shown, and it always shows a different lockscreen?!
also is the an option in the pro version to define a key to lock the screen?
So i.e. i wake the screen using the center navigation pad button, can i define that pressig the button again should turn the screen off again?

Hey guys,
I have a HTC Desire HD. To turn the screen on and off, i always have to use the power button.
Thats on the top, and its getting annoying seeing i have a phone case with soft rubber, and pressing it isn't easy.
Im also using the HTC Sense 3.0 Lock Screen. Apart from the cool ring, it shows the incoming messages
There are 2 apps i am aware of on the market, each with pro's and conns
One called AnyUnlock
- This lets you use the Volume key to unlock, but it also disables the pattern unlock.
Tap tap app
- This lets you stroke over you proximity sensor twice to unlock, but it drains power with the sensor on all the time. But this program still enables the pattern unlock.
I would like one that you can just use the volume key, but also makes you use the pattern.
Thankyou
Michael.

I use a widget from SwitchPro to lock the screen, it sits in top right corner and turns the screen off as if you pressed the power button.
As it mimics the power button it allows you to use the patterns and lock screen as normal.
While it doesn't solve your problem completely it does cut the power button presses down by half.
Im also on 3.0 LS and I havnt had any issues using the widget and the LS together.
How do I get widgets from anywhere else then HTC?
Dw I've figured it out

hi guys may i ask about the screen off and lock app, i just enabled the delay device locking feature. but after pressing the screen off and lock command (the one with the icon without a hammer) or in the notification screen, it plays the locking animation but after it went to black screen my signal bar (the bar that shows the battery meter, signal meter and time. located in the upper portion of the screen.) will pop up for a second. is this normal?
and when i press the power button the lock animation will not play, how can i set once i press the power button it will use the screen off and lock app.
thanks

I used to use this app, and I'm fairly certain you can't (without some deep code work) make the hardware power key operate a different app...The "reflash" of the screen is what made me go away from it, so I wish I could help ya, so I could help myself
I find it very easy to hit the lock button by accident, particularly when turning the phone horizontally or when passing it to someone to show them something. Is there an existing or a possibility of a tweak where the screen locking would only happen by, say, a double press of the lock button?
Can anyone unlock the phone using home button ?
it only works with the power button for me. The home button works when the screen is on but not when , the screen is turned off the phone flashes for brief second then screen goes off, i noticed this before i downgraded and after it has always been like this, its like I am double tapping it when I am not . I get the same response if i double tap the power button
Just to be clear. Are you asking if the screen turns on and stays on after pressing the Home button while the screen is turned off?
I'm on unlocked 3.6.8 and if my screen is off, I can press the home button and the screen turns on (still have to slide to unlock or enter PIN). However, the screen does stay on for a period of time and I can sit and look at the lock screen, view the dynamic perspective on it, etc until the timer eventually shuts the screen off again.
If the sensor located below the front camera is covered up with a screen protector or anything else then you can have problems turning the phone on with the home button or the camera button.
All screen protectors with a hole for the sensor should work on the phone. Screen protectors without a hole for the sensor may or may not work. My screen protector doesn't have a hole for the sensor but I don't have a problem turning the phone on with the home button. But if I cover the sensor with my thumb I can not turn my phone on with the home button.
