I just picked up my phone yesterday and now I don't even have to press the lock button for it to work. I can just rub my finger on it. And its really annoying because it keeps turning off and on in my pocket. Is their a way to make the power menu show up when long pressing the menu button and then turning off the power button completely?

Usually that's something a app would do (or even a setting in your ROM).
Btw, we're missing some info here, what is on your phone atm?
I'm on the 3.6 paranoid android ROM. And really? I thought it would be some kind of hardware.

I'd suggest going in the PA thread and look at their features to see if touch wake is in there. Also, to look through your ROM settings.
What you mean by you just got it?
I just picked my phone up and it started doing it

Ah I see, read that wrong.
Anyway, I don't know much about PA but you should definitely look for those features.

I'm not sure I understand what you want. I though you wanted your screen to not wake from touch? If so, why would you want to turn off your lock button?
Either way, you can remap you hardware buttons but I don't suggest it.
No my lock button is doing the touching. Like I can slide my finger on my lock button and it turns on and off and it turns on my phone in my pocket and turns it off a lot. Its like the button is super sensitive.

Oh wow, I completely miss-understood you.
You button being extra sensitive it definitely hardware related. You might have to open your phone and clean it or have it replaced.
I've opened my phone up and tried paper in between it and cleaned it and all that. I don't even know whats wrong. That's why I just want to turn the button off completely.

Is the button loose? Or further in than it should?
And you can look into button mapping but make sure to backup your files before changing them. Also, you will lose power menu.
The button is the same to me. And yeah I wish I could just change something then turn it off. And no I changed my menu button to where long press is the power menu.

Hello peeps.. quick question.. does anyone know if there is an app that will prevent the user from turning it off with the power button? Pretty much requires a pin to turn off the phone.. any ideas?

I don't think so. But there was one that locked out certain apps. And what you could do is map the power button to say a camera button or totally disable it, then use an app from the market that would turn the screen off. With the password app locking the screen off app. ... hope you followed

Hi gents. Just upgraded to this awesome 747...but have a silly problem with the xda mobile app. Every time I hit the back button to close a thread it closes the app. Very annoying! This didn't happen on the old SGS Captivate. Anyone else experiencing this?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
I only experience this when the app is minimized, reopened then I press the back button.
But thats minor. Issue with mine is it rarely displays the pictures. Which is annoying especially when looking at a new rom

My problem is three fold. The app freezes when i open pm tab, it sometimes develops major lag almost to point of non responsiveness, and i can't upload pics with xda premium (have to use tapatalk to upload pics).
Make sure you dont have back to kill activated. It kills any app your in by pressing the back button. Development options

You may be right. Not sure if it's exactly the same but i remember a setting "when backing out of a program with the back button, it will kill the app instead of running it in the background." I'll check into it
Edit: found it. It's in development options. Both settings are. "Don't keep activities" is the one i was referring to. I just tested it and it will accidentally close the app when pressing back. It thinks you want to leave the app.

Is there a mod like that...where I could use the home button to wake my
Phone because my power button just popped off yesterday...or know any to me that do that...I know Pacman Rom does...thanks in advance...

Thought all ROMs allowed it unless they removed it.

I think the OP meant to have the phone POWER UP using that button, instead of wake up....
If that is the case, I've never seen that, would be interesting. Should not have said "wake" OP, wake insinuates it was sleeping (screen just off) not "dead". You said that it was in the Pac Man rom where did you find it there?
You can try to change key layout. Make nandroid backup for safty and go to system/usr/kaylayout. I don't know which key is which so you would have to look around in there. I can't guarantee that this will work because I never tried that, but it should. Let us know about results.
Good luck

No I just ment wake up...cause to get to my recovery i have to use a paperclip to push in where my power button was...but yeah I ment wake up so I could still wake it up to even use my phone but im gonna check yhose files ill tell you what I find...thanks for the help guys...
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
This thread should answer your questions. Instead of removing wake make sure wake is included.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1836758
Pretty sure only a couple roms removed that, every rom I've tried wakes up with the home button. About all but 4 lol.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
If you ment just wake up I'm going to look which files and keys I have for that and I will give you names of them so you can edit them.
Update: Ok, I've checked that and it seems that key 172 in sec_keys.kl is home button. So if you would just add "WAKE" after it then you should be ok. I think that if you would also add "POWER" then it should power on or off (?) your phone. I don't know how you would be able to get to recovery then but it's interesting. Maybe phone will think that you press both buttons? xD

As a workaround to get into recovery without using a paperclip, you can use any of a number of apps that have a reboot to recovery option.

Does anyone know how to start drawing onto the current Screen? I saw something like pressing Volume Up and Home? This doesn't seem to work though.

With the S-Pen out, press and hold the S-Pen's button, and long-press the screen with the S-Pen.
That will do a screenshot. I saw in a video that thr person was also capable of recording voice and the screen action, just like you can in S Notes.

Take out the s pen.
Hold the button.
Then double tap the screen with s pen.

But this will pop-up the note app. You won't be able to edit and record the activity within the current screen. I'll post the video when I get home.
Yeah if you wanna draw something then take a screen shot and start drawing.

I was wondering if anyone else has had an issue with the menu and back button not registering touch sometimes? My menu button does it more than the back button. Sometimes I have to restart the phone to get it to start working again or hit the home button and then it works. Anyone else have this issue?
