Dear,
My E4GT is runing on 2.6.35.7_SPH_D710.EL29_CL852097 rom. Currently the
mobile goes to asleep by pressing POWER or SEARCH key, wakes up by pressing
POWER key.
To protect POWER key from over used, I hope to change the wake up key
from POWER KEY to SEARCH key too.
I wonder how I can do it? Could someone help?
Hi there guys,
i want to ask u if u know a way to remap physical key on galaxy nexus or another way to turn on from "standby" the cell without always pressing the power button...
i can think that fast it will be insible to touch after long use or continuisly press
thanks for your answer and tips about it
I'm not entirely sure what your asking. There are only 3 physical keys on the device and one of them needs to be used as the power button. If you mean turning the screen on by pressing the screen, this wouldn't make much sense as the screen needs to be on to detect touch.
only 2 physical keys...
1)power on/off button
2)volume
when the screen is black i can turn it on only by pressing the power button, i'm looking for another way to turn the screen on, ex. shacking the phone, pressing the screen, pressing volume key or etc...
The volume consists of 2 physical buttons...
All sensors are off by default when the screen is off. Turning these on would drain your battery dramatically.
If you were to change your power on button to one of your volume keys, what would be the point? You'd just lose the ability to change your volume easily and have a useless power button.
remap the volume key was just an example...
the matter is: is there any other way to turn on the screen without press the power button? with the constantly and massive use of it, it will become fragile and easy to break out.
i use volume up/down and power on /off randomly, all are enabled to wake up the device on aokp milestone 4. i think they may have designed the buttons to survive for quite some time since there is only 1 regular button for the job. other buttons on other phones dont just die and break out do they?
edit: by enabled i meant it is possible to select them as usable. stock doesnt have it afaik (didnt have stock long enough to find out)

no, its an option in the Rom Controls under the lockscreen options menu.
Glados kernel has a touch wake option. You can set it for any length of time after the screen goes off. This will also prevent your phone from going into deep sleep so it can affect your battery.

yes and this is the problem, my experience with other phones with "one function key" usually they break out "easily"
ok so from what u all wrote guys my only option is to root the phone and install a new rom with that "touch screen option"
can u indicate to me better where i can find the roms you are talking about? i'll appreciate it a lot
AOKP found in the development section

Greetings:
is "Volume Wake" possible on G Note 2?
if it is, can someone explain how?
Thank you.
You have home button and power button to turn the phone on. Does volume wake still necessary??

I actually like being able to wake the phone with volume buttons as well.
I tend to keep my phones for a long while! so I look ahead and plus both
Power & Home buttons are pretty over used, I guess it won't hurt if there is another option, IMHO.
Wasn't exactly sure where to post this.. But does anyone else think it would be a great idea to be able to launch an app by Holding the Power button while the screen is off?
For example, hold the power button when screen off, and Camera launches. I think Some Xperia phones have this feature.
Any thoughts?
A friend broke his phones power button.
Is there any way to remap power to another button?
And if there is would it work for turning on the phone?

He might just have to use the home button to turn it on, and download a sleep button from the play store. That's probably the easiest way.
Yes there are several ways to awake the phone. But Broken Power button will post a lot more challenges if you happen to turn off the phone. Best have it repaired.
the power button does work kinda (its super sensitive if you slide your finger over it without pushing it down, it will activate).
say i disable it while the phone is turned on would i still be able to turn the phone on with it?
So long physically its working fine, the button will turn on the phone from power off state. Any mods you do to disable it will only affect when Android is operational. Some of the Roms for the S3 do allow to change the button that will awake the phone. Typically the home button will be the alternate choice. Also there are apps in Play Store that do this as well.
thanks for all the help i really appreciate it
