I have installed slim bean (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2092572) ROM and discovered one functionality that drives me crazy.
Whenever I swipe across lowest part of the screen (where touch buttons back, home, menu exist) from right to left the phone wakes up. Doing it again it sleeps.
It behaves much like power-on button, except that it constantly powers on in my pocket and tries do dial emergency call.
I checked everything and I have no clue where to disable this functionality. What is this "feature" even called?
BTW, I have this kernel: boot-HELLBOY-CM10-201302142348
Thanks!

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
Hi,
I've decided it's time to root my phone and install Cyanogenmod 10 to get some JB goodness.
However, I'm currently using a case (Incipio NGP) that makes the side unlock button very difficult to press. Because of this, i only use the side button to LOCK the phone, and instead use the physical home button on the front of the phone to UNLOCK it.
What I want to know is, with CM10, will I still be able to unlock the phone using the front physical home button?
I'm going to ignore that fact that using a case that impedes proper use of the phone is just silly.
Do you mean to wake or unlock? The home and power button both wake the phone on CM10. Home button can be a bit hit and miss at this point, but multiple presses resolves this and it will be fixed in the long run.

Idk about cm10 but task650 and ktoonsez ROM you can use both buttons to wake. I'd try out AOKP. It is the best ROM out for the S3 in my opinion.

Hah yeah, might be a little silly but the case is just amazing in every other aspect so I'll deal with a slightly hard to press wake button.
And yes, what I meant was wake, not unlock. So you are saying that if i press the front home button a few times it will wake up and the screen will turn on?

I'm saying that both CM10 and AOKP work normally with regards to waking the phone like you'd expect when you press the home button. Just like stock.
However, as of right now some people are reporting that it doesn't always respond to the first press. That's just a bug that will certainly be worked out at some point.
The only way the home button is currently working a bit differently is when you have a delay set between the screen off and screen lock. My screen locks 1 minute after it goes off, but if you use the home button to wake the phone during this time, it will wake, but also close any app you have open.

That's pretty sketchy - I use a 30minute delay so I guess I'd have to take that off. Why is it that AOKP and CM10 both have the same bug - is it just a bug inherent to AOSP Jellybean with S3 hardware?

Well, "sketchy" isn't the word I'd use, but it is a bit frustrating.
AOKP is built off CM10 for the most part. CM10 is still in the very initial stages on the S3 and the concentration has been on improving graphic and audio performance as a priority.

Good to know, thanks.
The main things I need to work are:
calling
texting
mp3 player
Do the audio performance bug affect the google play music app (or music playback in general)?

The audio bugs were related to call audio and have largely been resolved in the latest nightlies.
As for texting, it works. Though there are two outstanding issues that may or may not impact you. 1) Concatenated SMS messages do not work, messages are split at 160 characters. Using an alternative SMS app is not a solution, as messages not split will fail to send. 2) Queueing messages in the stock app is annoying, and if one is attempting to send while you send another, it will fail instead of just getting in line.
Hello,
I've been using my new note 2 for two weeks now.. and I like it so much
I also used sgs2 and 3 before.
I'm not new to android.. I flashed roms, know every single setting in the device, rooted my sgs2 and tried lots of apps to customize them.
Regarding my issue, I like to set my device to none screen security because I always manually lock it with a press on the lock screen button after I do whatever I want to do with it, and to unlock I always press Home button to get back to where I was immediately without the need to swipe the lock screen.
The problem is when I lock it and there is an app running and then press the home button the screen goes to home default screen and do not just unlock the screen and keep it there where I was last, this was not the case with my sgs2 or sgs3.
If I press the lock screen button instead it does what I want but I prefer to use home button because its much easier.
Its not a big issue but its annoying sometimes because sometimes I get popup notification windows while the phone is locked (whatsapp for example) and I press the home button to see it and instead of just turning on the screen to see the window it goes back to home screen and the popup is gone, or in cases where I'am writing an email or reading something and meanwhile talking to somebody, if the screen gets locked, If I press the home button everything is gone. So I have to switch tasks to open my activity again.
I don't know if this is a jellybean issue or hardware (homebutton).
I know its not a big deal but I would appreciate if somebody can help get around this

It seems to be a jellybean feature no way around unless a mod comes out...
All jellybean roms in Note I had this feature and i remember seeing this thing on SGS III jellybean too
Just install the S Voice app , "voicetalk_NLI.apk".
In S Voice, set "double click active S Voice" will fix the issue.
This actually worked! Thanks
But the problem is that i use another app (home2) to control home button which makes me able to control what app runs when double clicking home or even use a combination of home with back or menu.
Its a very good app if you want to try it.
This leaves me with trying to deal with my original issue tho or just return to old factory setting

thanks man! used to annoy me so much having to open the app again
edit. There's one slight problem, now it lags a bit to return back to the home screen..
When my screen turns off and I press the home button to wake the screen, any applications or notification popups I had disappears as the home button is being too "aggressive" and immediately takes me to the home screen.
Did I miss a setting somewhere to prevent this?
Thanks.
It seems the only way to prevent this is by enabling Swipe Lock. I guess this is why it's enabled by default?
I'm having the same problem no matter what I do when the screen times out and I press home it takeme back to my home screen. ..Have you found a solution yet?

In S-Voice app, bring up settings, make sure option to "Open via the home key" is checked. This will allow the home button to only wake the device when the screen is off. Unfortunately, this also introduces some lag when pressing the home button, as the software is waiting to see if you register a double click.

I hate that lag, that's why I unchecked it and ran into this Home Button problem.
The lag is pretty bad, like 2-3 seconds. Not practical.
Just a quick Q, does elemental work flawlessly for those who use dt2w? I've found if I leave my tablet for a while without using it and then come back to it (Like an hour or 2), double tap just does nothing. Just wondering if this is a known issue? Sorry, I'm new to the n7, but have had the n5 for a long time now so very familiar.
Doing a little research..
Before locking your tablet, I think you have to back out of all apps first to your homescreen, then lock it. Can anyone confirm this?
I've not had any issue with it. I have been running Elemental X on Clean ROM v2.7 for a week and it has worked as advertised.
Make sure you turn it off in correct way, since it can be disabled.

What's the correct way? I just press power button to lock..
I'm going to try a custom rom, and see if that changes anything. Already tried chaos kernel and same thing happened.

Thats' the problem. Pressing the power button cycles through the swipe/tap to turn on function. I never use the power button to turn it off, i just swipe across the bottom of the screen, or close the magnetic front cover to my case to shut the screen down

Think you've cracked it! Suppose I should have figured. Thanks a lot mate.
I use the power button to turn it off and have no issues. Just font select the option to disable it in the ROM setup and it works fine.

That setting is found when you flash the kernel. If you want to change the behavior of the tap to wake etc, you will need to reflash Elemental X
Awesome, works now. Must have missed that option the first time. Thanks all
