[Q] Any application out there that can wake desire hd using the volume button?

Hi guys, as above. Without rooting, using stock rom other than using WidgetLocker.
Thanks in advance.

Try " Nolock "

Widgetlocker!!
It allows you to put apps and Widgets on your lockscreen and various settings to wake your phone like from the volume button. Really a very good app for me personal.

WidgetLocker is good but somehow it always lag on my phone whenever I try to slide to unlock. Very sad though.

I just tried this application but somehow, it totally disables the locking screen which is what I want, just that I want my volume button to wake up the phone that's all. Any applications that can do that?

Test "Tap Tap App".
This application unlocks the screen using the proximity sensor.
And blocks the screen using a widget, an icon in the status bar, or the same sensor.

Any application that uses the volume button to do so?

I like tap tap app. Works flawless

I just wonder whether the tap tap app would wear down the proximity sensor a lot faster because it's always on.

Contrary to popular believe, (electronic) hardware does not 'wear down'. It works or does not work.
AFAIK, the proximity sensor is always on anyways.

Not Always On. But if you're worried, do not use. I am concerned the on / off button.

It's not always on. And if it doesn't wear down, we live in a perfect world and have no need of maintenance. But it's possible that the "wear-down" speed is close to negligible. The Tap Tap App itself has an option for turning off the proximity sensor (which is nice, but I haven't yet tested exactly how long "a short time" is).

Yea, I know, I uninstalled it already. The on/off button on the contrary, is designed to be pressed all the time. I've used several HTC phones in the past, and none of them had button problems even after years of use.

[APP] Smart Screen ON

After the success of Smart Screen OFF, I decided to publish another app called Smart Screen ON available in LITE and PRO version too.
Smart screen ON
DESCRIPTION:
Smart screen ON is an innovative app which turns your proximity sensor into a power button. If you have a big phone with no physical button on the front(Galaxy Nexus for example, you can turn on or turn off the phone just tapping or waving your hand (finger) on proximity sensor.
FEATURES:
When you change the settings, remember saving and restarting service using built in app specific button.
There are two mode available, both mode can coexist:
+WAVE MODE:
Wave (move) your hand/finger on proximity sensor, even without touching it.
You can set the amount of waves you want to use to turn on/off screen and the time between each wave.
Do you want to wave your hand quickly or slowly?
+TAP AND SWIPE MODE:
1) Tap proximity sensor using your finger;
2) Wait for the first vibration;
3) Swipe (remove) quickly your finger, before it vibrates for the second time.
You can set the time before the first and the second vibration.
+DISABLE SENSOR
You can also disable sensor after an amount of time you can set in the app panel.
The app will disable the whole service and proximity sensor after X time of inactivity.
+STATISTICS
Statistics include:
A)Smart Screen ONs;
B)Smart Screen OFFs;
C)Total power button saves;
D)The power used by your proximity sensor (which is very very low).
+START ON BOOT
If you check this, the app will start on boot.
+HIDE ICON
If you hide the icon, the app could be instable and could be killed by Android in low memory conditions.
+ENABLE FOR TURNING SCREEN OFF
The app has been created to turn screen off, but I also give you the ability to turn screen off.
+DISABLE WHEN LANDSCAPE
The sensor will stop working when landscape.
+INCOMPATIBILITY
-HTC Desire HD is not compatible with "wave mode" because its proximity sensor doesn't work as it should.
If you want to suggest new features, please contact me on this thread, at [email protected] or use my site www.androidhd.it

Link to lite version is online
Will test this out!
EDIT: I believe there's a bug with Android 4.0.4 for apps that turn off the screen?
It turns back on after turning off for a while, happens in other apps that lock the screen too.

Great app!
I would like to use your app in combination with an app like tasker, llama or locale. Could you make a shortcut to enable or disable your app? Or a locale plugin? This way I could enable/disable your app when certain conditions are met. For example when I am at home it is active and when I am at work it is disabled. I have tried to kill your app automatically with llama, but your app restarts by itself.

Love this idea. Perfect for when I'm in class and want to glance at my phone. Bought the pro version, however it worked about 3 times then stopped. I see it was just updated so I have faith this will be looked at and become more stable. Thanks.

I have updated both LITE and PRO versions. Fixed a couple of little bug (check the changelog). The update will be live within 1 hour or 2.
Friends, if you have any problem please contact me at [email protected] . If you only reply on the Store I can't help you.
If you know how to do it, record a logcat when you have a problem and send the .txt file to my email address.
App is working flawlessly on my Galaxy Nexus AOKP M5.
Note: between 1 on and 1 off you have to wait 2 seconds.

Cool app!
I confirm the bug tho, after screen off Widgetlocker turns the screen back on for a sec(Gnexus AOKP build 35).

Just updated. Tried it about 15 times. Only worked once. I have it on the tap/swipe option. AOKP B35. CDMA GNex.
BTW, I'm not complaining, just providing info. I like the app. I'll be very happy with it once I get it working.

Just use any logcat app (I use rootzbox, catlog is free) start recording. Try to do whatever function you're trying to accomplish, stop recording, it will save a txt file on your SD, navigate to file with file explorer of your choice, share file

Kk, thanx, just sent it.

I just discovered a bug (I'm not sure it's related to my app or to the ROM).
You have to completely disable the lockscreen to get it working.
I'm currently investigating this issue.

Its the same for me running stock 4.0.4 if that helps.

There is a bug that affects Android 4.0.4.
I'm trying to find a workaround for 4.0.4 users.
Version 1.2 uploaded, check it out on the store.
It should work with 4.0.4 users without disabling the screen lock.
To workaround this, I had to kill timeout display timer (you have to turn off phone manually).

Works great now. Thanks.
Edit: I didn't quite understand at first. Its a bummer that the screen stays on indefinitely now, unless manually turned off.

This is the only workaround I found.
For some strange reason what worked for <=4.0.3 doesn't work on 4.0.4 .

[Q] bypassing Screenlock b on incoming calls

Does anyone know how I can bypass the Screen Lock on a Samsung Galaxy S4 (Rooted stock 4.2.2) when an incoming call is ringing the phone?
I have hd caller ID that has an easy way to answer the phone, but my wife does not know how to open the Screen Lock so she can't answer the phone when I'm busy in the yard, garage, etc.
I've been looking for a quick fix, but I have not come across anything usable.
Thanks all of you for all your help to everyone that asks for it. Your answers often helps many individuals that have the same needs!
Aloha!

I am not sure if I completely understand. Are you saying that you have to unlock your phone to answer an incoming phone call? :/

Yes, the screenlock is still showing the big orange balloon.... I have to swipe the dots, then press answer.

That's weird cause even with screen lock, if there's an incoming call you should only need to swipe to answer or reject.

Are you running any lock screen programs like GoLocker or something similar? Default Android behaviour is to allow you to accept incoming calls without putting in your PIN/Pattern/Password. If you are not running another locker, then open up your dialer, press the menu soft key, and check your "call settings" options. Check the behaviours where you can press the home button to accept calls and see if you can accept calls that way. If not, remove your security code, restart your phone, and set it again. Let us know if any of these work for you.

"Emergency Call Press And Hold" on lockscreen. How to disable this?

Hey guys. Now that we have root I have been messing around with G3 Tweaksbox/xposed to get the phone setup exactly to my liking. However, one thing I have not been able to figure out is how to disable the black button on the bottom of the lock screen that says "Emergency Call Press And Hold".
Has anyone found a way to disable this?

Also still searching for it. Gravitybox should do the trick but it won't work properly on my device so the button is still there.

Have you tried "no lock"?

It should only be there if you have no service correct?

emergency calls press and hold
Yes it occurs when i loose service/signal the problem becomes when i move to an area were i do get a good signal the phone remains stuck in the "emergency calls press and hold" mode until i reboot the phone. It happens several time a day. T-mobile has not offered any viable solution to the issue.

[Q] Lock screen or turn off screen when in a call?

Is there a way to have the screen either turn off or lock when you are in a call? There have been a number of times when folks have used my phone and they disconnect the other party because they move the sensor away from their face and back which causes the screen to come on and then the end call button gets pressed. Perhaps an Xposed module tweak?
Thanks,
Kevin

It works on our phone. Just tweak the setting to how far you want the "near" to be
