Hey guys, anyone know if there is a way to disable the home button from waking the screen? I seem to be hitting it unintentionally a lot and unlocking my phone by accident.

Well when you want to use the phone you have to press the power button first right? Then slide to unlock.
Is it possible to remap the button to switch screen on from the power button to say...clicking the trackpad? A native way or an app i don't mind. Just seems strange to reach to the top of the phone and i have pretty big hands, it's no problem just me being me i guess.
Download keyguard disabler, then you will be able to turn on the screen with any of the bottom buttons.
Though pressing trackpad seems best as others invoke some kind of action.

the nexus one trackpad has been remapped to wake up the screen, ... but *i think* it has to be rooted first.

Oh that's a shame! Yeah i think any key would cause me to make mistaks while it is in my pocket that's why i would like the trackpad.
I'll live in hope!
Well it was recommended an app called flyscreen but that turned out to be a full lock screen replacement. Not really what I want!
I don't want to give up on this it's my only gripe lol. Anyone any ideas? Or help? Nothing from the Nexus One?
We may have to wait till it's rooted before we get this feature
How about just locking the screen rather than turn it off?

Great way to drain your battery really fast...
If Paul from Modaco gets his Desire it could be rooted very soon. Let's hope so and i want this feature first lol.
Not sure if this is a bug, but I noticed that if you are running an app that has a "..." menu button at the bottom (next to the app switch/task manager button) and you press the power button to lock the phone, next time you unlock it the menu button will still be there. Pressing it takes you to the application you were in before.
It only works for apps that have the menu button at the bottom. I tried other more secure locks and the menu button still appears, but pressing it does nothing.
Oh no.. first the face unlock fiasco and now this..
Worst security ever!

Is that ironic ?
I don't see why face unlock would be a fiasco ... ?
And this may be a bug, but it's not a security issue.
I've tried it, but doesn't happen for me. Running a custom rom though.

You can pull down the notification bar as well...
I don't think anyone could argue that slide-to-unlock is a secure option anyway at all.

Yes, but pulling down the notification bar does not allow you to unlock the phone. The settings button is disabled.
I'm not saying its a problem, just something odd...
The MoDaCo rom removes this feature/issue.

I don't think that slide to unlock is a security option. If you really want to have the phone blocked put a pin code or a slide pattern.
But it's true that maybe this option souldn't be posible. The notificaction bar can be displayed but not presed to enter the phone.
I'm with the autor of the post. This souldn't happen.

Actually, if you have a notification, you can pull down the notification bar and click the notification and it will work just like it would if slide to unlock first.
As stated by someone else, slide to unlock is only for butt dial protection, not security.

Yeh I was just kidding lol.
Sounds like a feature to me. Damn convenient.
This is not an issue. If you want security use pin, pattern, or face unlock. How is just having slide unlock considered security? It isn't.
And before people bemoan face unlock, who the hell is going to have a big picture of you to fool face unlock AND know the phone is yours except people you know. If you need to protect your phone from people you know or are uncomfortable with it, use a pin or pattern.

It does? I'm running MCR and the ADW menu button still shows up..
But like someone said, with slide to unlock does it really matter? It's not very hard to slide to unlock anyways.. now if it was slide to unlock AND it had a password unlock it would be different..
I'm not really concerned with the security side, however I am concerned with the practicality of it. I often accidentally push buttons on my phone when both my hands and phone are in my pocket, and because of this button it often unlocks and I end up ringing someone or sending them a text full of random characters. Quite annoying.
If you click on a notification it goes into the app. I actually find this quite convenient, I can get right into the app without sliding my finger.

If you "exit" (go to the homescreen) said app, then lock the phone the menu button won't pop up.

Not valid with ADW launcher ... or any launcher which still uses the legacy menu button.
Its a feature...and i like it. Quick access to last opened app. Why would this be a problem if you dont set a security code. Its a welcomed feature imo.
Hi sorry if its a silly question. ..but I really can't figure out how to do a screen cap on the phone. I am able to do it using the spen only.
I tried the home and power buttons...didn't work for me?? I dont know why....
Thanks!

Three methods.
S-Pen. Press button and hold pen onto screen.
Buttons. Press power and home at the same time.
Swipe. Place side of palm on edge of screen and swipe to the other side. Sort of wax-on-wax-off type motion. My personal fave for showing off.

My lock screen on my S4 will put the pattern on one half of the screen and the clock on the other half, but not up and down! Has anyone else had this problem or a fix? It fixes itself sometimes and then will go back to it randomly.

That's not really helping him with his question but screenshot of lock screen is the same Power+Home button. It's working for me.

the very same thing happened to me today. i deleted the main widget lockscreen and tried to re-add it but it wouldn't fix anything,
my solution was to boot into recovery and wipe "cache" and "dalvik cache"
this returned my lockscreen back to normal.
As the title says it. I'm not complaining or anything but I am kinda tired of pushing my lock button 2 times whenever I am in the dark place and want to unlock my phone with KnockON feature (double tap on the screen). Is there a way to get around that "press lock button 2 times to unlock the phone" or it's something wrong with my phone that is missing that setting?
Would be appreciated for an answer.
What phone model do you have? I only have to press mine once to unlock it.

That didn't help. I still can't get it unlocked by double tapping in a dark room.
it's how the phone prevents from accidental unlocks in pocket: when condition is pitch dark, double taps won't work; only with double press the lock button and fingperprint sensor.

Thanks for the explanation but I was wondering if I can disable that function just for ease of use. Btw fingerprint unlock won't work in the dark either for some reason.
