[Q] Atom Life wake up with other buttons

I used to have an XDAII (the very first) where the unit could be woken up by pressing any button. There was a setting in the control panel that allowed you to set it to only recongnize the power button or have the other buttons wake it up. Naturally I set it to the power button, but after a while, that button got worn down and stopped "working" so I naturally set it to recognize any other button.
This experience has taught me the hard way, that its a good choice to have (or maybe even a necessity in some cases) that other buttons to wake the unit up in case of situations like this.
I've just bought an Atom life and unfortunately it ONLY recognizes the power button to wake the unit up. Is there any hack or software out there that could enable the other buttons (or better yet, allow selection of which buttons can turn the unit on)?
I'd like to use the large middle button on the front if possible, since that button seems more "sturdy" than the power button. I may be able to save that poor power button from years of wear and tear.

just realized i posted in the wrong section. Moderators, feel free to move it to the parent Atom section, and my sincerest apologies

Hi, nargalzius
I have been search for decade, but i still cannot find the way to assign other button for waking up da device......

same problem here...
anybody out there figured this one out already?

bump
did anybody find a hack for this?

I have just the opposite problem. I use the headphones that come
with the Atom Life - the button on it not only turns on the device.. if
you bang the mouth piece on something (without hitting
the button), it turns it on too!! I'd love a solution to that

I use O2 Flame and got the same setting, no other hard key than the power button can wake up the device from sleep. Anyone knows the tricks or registry hacks, please share. Thank you very much.

Atom Life Wakeup Button
Hi guys, there doesn't seem to be an answer on here and I assume the reason is as follows - Atom Life also wakes up by pressing the "end" key... (I think this is a general hardware setup)
I was also a bit weary of the power button being worn out, so I did some experimentation and found that the end button works a treat if you have the same concern "end - s2u"... swweeet!
Hope this helps.

You mean when the phone is in standby mode and you press the END key, the phone will come out of standby? Beats the whole purpose of standby then

I do echo the same "problem" of not being able to change the mapping of the power button to the front button.. ( as I was able to do with my XDA II)
I 'm confused about the "end" key solution..
Anyone finding a solution ?
Thank you all

Nearest program might be MORT saver? it allows you to specify the button that put the device in to MORT stand by and therefore the same button that will awake the device. Not exactly the power button option that you talk of wanting but at least MORT also stops the device from waking up when any of the buttons around the action button are pressed.

[Q] Voice dialing & Screen shots not as simple as I'd hoped

Hi,
1) Does anyone have Voice Action command dialing working? Whenever I try to do it all I get is a numberof suggested Google search results for "call xxx yyy". Now most of my contacts are Swedish names and I guess that may be a bit difficult (?) but I get the same result also for the English named contacts in my phone. Can the fact that all my contacts are imported from Exchange be a reason for this?
2) I cannot, for the life of me, get the screen-shot function to work. I press the power button and then the vol-down button and all that happens is that the volume indicator comes up and goes down to "silent". And "yes" I am keeping the powerbutton pressed the whole time. Any thoughts on what I've missed?
Grateful for any ideas that'll make me appreciate this otherwise very slick piece of hardware...
Cheers/M

You need to press the volume down & power buttons simultaneously to create a screenshot.

[Q] I have a black screen after trying to root my Galaxi S3 SGH- I747M

I was in the process of rooting my Samsung S3 with Odin3, everything was going well, I was following the steps from theunlokr.com .. it looked like all the processes were done but at the end the screen never came on. I keep pressing the power button still don’t turn on. I hold the 3 buttons at the same time (Vol Up+Home+Power) nothing happen.
I press the on/off button and it plays the start up ring shows the Samsung logo and then it goes black.
Can anyone help please, I hope I can fix it ASAP, need my phone for work. Can't understand what went wrong.
Need your help
Thank you!!

First mistake was using a site other than XDA to root your phone. Pull the battery and hold the power putton for about ten seconds. Put the battery back in, hold the down volume button + the home button + the power button until you feel it vibrate and then let go of the power button while holding the home and volume down buttons. It should go into download mode and ask you to confirm by pressing the up volume button. If this works then using Odin on the computer to flash back to stock rooted.

Some solid ROMs include: CNA (codenameandroid), Kyan, CM.
I used to use BlackJelly as my daily-driver, but couldn't do without the AllShareCast functionality, so I'm back to stock-rooted, until I find a ROM that both looks awesome and supports AllShareCast.

[Q] Production Build ROOT Help

I bought the LG e980 from a guy on Craigslist. He worked for ATT and won some sort of sales contest and had the phone shipped to him from the factory. It has worked great for the year I have owned it; I love the phone. I would like to have updated Android, but I use the phone on T-mobile, so no updates for me. I tried to root, but am having no luck. Keeps saying something about "production build". The software version is e98010p. I rooted my table 2-3 years ago, and can't remember too much about the process. Any help would be great!!!

Recovery Mode
I can't seem to get it to book into recovery mode. I have tried volume up + power, both volume keys + power, home + power, quick button + power....and I get nothing. The only thing I get is with volume down + power, which is "factory wipe, push power to confirm, or any other button to cancel".

Take battery out. Wait 5 secs. Putt battery back in. Hold down volume up button. Keep holding down volume up button while you also hold down power button. Wait to see flashing led indicators at bottom and LG logo. Let go of power button while still holding down volume up button.

Didn't work
Well, I tried it several times and it didn't work for me. Any other suggestions?

Broken power button workaround to turn on.

So I have a OnePlus 3 since it was released and my power button started not working properly about a year ago.
And today I found out that the power button was not working at all anymore no matter how hard I pressed.
At first it was clicking twice instead of once (shortcut to open the camera), or I had to press it very hard to make it work.
I found some workarounds (double tap to wake, double tap to lock, etc).
So when the device is powered on, it's fine I can do everything I need.
The problem is when I need to poweroff the device (changing sim card) or when it runs out of battery.
On some other threads people say to hold the volume down button and to plug the phone to a computer.
But it doesn't work for me, when I do that the device goes to the bootlogo (before the romlogo) and is stuck there.
Any help or idea appreciated.
Also I am not willing to change the power button because it seems hard to take apart the device according to this tutorial : https://fr.ifixit.com/Tutoriel/OnePlus+3+Power+and+Volume+Button+Assembly+Replacement/76019
I am on Lineage16 if that can help.

I feel you. I have broken power button since august... Found workarouns like you. But for me, power button starts to work after one or two weeks so i think it is software issue. But about replacing power button you are really wrong. OnePlus 3 is one of the easiest phones to repair. The thing is, you dont need heat gun to warm adheasive... You just take out screws and pop out the screen. This is kinda one of the reason why i took my phone so i can change battery with no problems or do any other repair by myself. But in the past 3 year i did not need to take apart my phone ?*. You can look up jerryrigeverything he tears down oneplus3 and shows everything step by step. Its indeed really easy, compared to other phones.

Plz answer this then I have replaced power and volume ribbon cable twice with new ones and my power button still not working volume is fine though and I want to unlock bootloader but without power button I can not select the option to do so?
