My girlfriend just updated her phone yesterday, and now she's telling me that her sound toggle button when she holds the power button is gone. Sure enough, it is. Is there a way I can show her how to bring it back? Seems kind of dumb to get rid of that (in my eyes) standard Android feature :^\
Thanks!
Edit: But on the bright side, she now has a reboot button. Yay!
Just found this on the HTC site. Looks like they might need to edit this page:

Put the device in silent mode
Press and hold the Power button and then tap Silent mode.
True. Missing that option to set to silent using the power button. Silly to omit a useful feature.

the volume buttons are L1 and L2 or whatever
I think you have to go into the settings menu to turn up the volume

I hold home button until recent 8 apps popup appears. Then vol up down operate as normal. Once i adjusted volume i back out of the popup for recent apps. Works without any problems for me this way. Hope it helps

Plug in your earphones for volume down
Hello,
For the S3.
the home button & the volumes button are disabled with this zip.
Just the power button will wake up your phone. Battery saver
Flash it with CWM.

Hi, nice feature. But please can you provide a undo .zip?

I would prefer one that ONLY wakes the phone with the home button

How is this a battery saving mod? Does the home-button wakeup feature actually consume some battery?

Me too! Very useful when out at concerts etc. I found that the constant movement would cause the power button to be hit, then screen would stay on for a minute with contact through thin trousers/shorts.
Eventually I found phone was quite warm and battery was slightly reduced.
And I have no idea what the volume wake does, but I have left it enabled.
How about wake up with volume keys

Basically, the file gpio-keys.kl contains four lines corresponding to both volume keys, power button and the home button.
The zip I posted removes the WAKE from just the power button. So the volume keys behave in the same way they would without the modification.
The zip the op posted removes the WAKE from the volume keys and the home button, but not the power button. (so the volume keys will no longer wake the device).
I don't know what this difference means, I assume it may have something to do with volume changing when listening to music? But I have no idea.
Does this clear it up?
But the volume keys dont wake up the phone by default right?

Nope, not as far as I have ever seen.
But they were set to WAKE, so I left them that way.
Is there a flashable file that can enable that?
Thanks1

the button doesn't, but the screen coming on does. Disabling the button is handy, when phones in pocket, and button keeps pressing.

Enable wake on volume key press? I honestly don't know how, according to the file that I modified they already do - but we know that they don't actually visibly affect the device.

I think acccidently pressing the power button is much easier than accidently pressing the home button, so arguably, you would save more power disabling the power button, and not the home button?
Thank´s for this, love it.
i have a case on my s3 so pressing the power button is eliminated accidentally, however the home button i seem to press accidentally every time i pull it out of my pocket or even just shuffling it around.
Hey,can't test it because i have cm9!
Looking good though...
Could you make a zip for cm9 too?

Fair enough, I foolishly don't have a case for my phone. But I have insurance so that helps? (worst reasoning ever)

I just downloaded a CM9 nightly, the same file exists which this zip modifies.
This *should* work for you no issues, with the revert working aswell. Of course, nandroid first...

Tried with your Power button disabled mod.. Doesn't work.. After flashing, it still wakes up my phone.
I am on Stock firmware with Siyah Kernel.. Any suggestions. Thanks.
Hi,
My fingers mistakenly hits the power button constantly and it turns off the phone.
Is there a way to change the settings for the power button? For example change it to a long click or a double click to turn off phone?
Thanks

lol I had the same problem for the first week, got used to it.
My power button is very sensitive also. Sometimes while walking with my phone in my jacket pocket the power button gets bumped and my phone gets turned on. I use the pattern lock feature so I don't have to worry about "pocket dialing" but I still don't like the idea.. I have my screen time set for ten minutes. I don't want my screen on for no reason at all.. I wish they made the power button less sensitive.
I got the Body Glove case from the Sprint store and this has helped hide the power button from me hitting it.

If any Devs get a chance can you please MOD the new update to include Volume Rocker Wake. Or show me how to do it step by step? it would be greatly appreciated since my power button is dead. Thanks in advance
how do you restart your phone if the power button is dead? How is normal use affected? Curious because im always paranoid about mine breaking lol

Besides having to wake the phone, the power button is useless to me. I use apps like RomToolBox to restart and go into recovery. Goo.im App can go into recovery as well. When the phone dies during business ours, which never happens, I can plug it into a usb and boot up by holding vol+and vol- to boot or just put into my cars dock and it boots without power button. I use CM based roms with volume rocker wake. besides that, the phone also wakes from unplugging and plugging chargers...Power button doesn't really matter to me as long as volume rocker wake is enable.
im interested in this as well, my power buttom died once already and got it fixed, but I try to press it as little as possible.
so op, your power button isnt 'stuck' but totally broken? im just scared the my button will stick and stay in a bootloop. Btw you can use 'spob' app to wake the phone using the proximity sensor. Right now im using switch pro and lock the phone and spob to wake it - dont have to use the powee button at all haha
