I have a new 8525. When you slide out the keyboard it is amazing to me that it doesn't turn on the unit. Is there a hack for this? Thanks Bill
You have to push 1 button. Push it. Not hard.
Not hard, but sometimes I am unsure if I hit the correct button, and hit it hard enough. Sometimes there can be a delay, too. So, I hit the button... nothing... hit it again... watch it glow and then dark!
Argh!
I, for a second, would LOVE a hack to have it turn on when opened.

That would be pretty cool... but i can live without it....
Would be great for texting..
And I dont think its possible. The only thing that happens when it's opened is a small magnet is activated. I bet that the electrical current to that magnet is not even on while the phone is off/sleep. would be cool tho
Might to cool but it is just one button which is pretty easy.

Actually, it is not pretty easy on the 8525. When the KB slides open it is hard to hit the power button.
is there a way to use the pda as a speaker phone like the k-jam
just press and hold the green phone button for 3-4 secs..

i will try the solution u gave thanks
Thanx! I must be retarded not trying this earlier
haha
Man, I must be retarded too. You should ask this question long time ago!
I searched but couldn't find anything related, so sorry in advance.
When ending a call... do you have to push the 'hard' button on the bottom right to end it? Is the only other way to push the power button to activate the screen? That's pretty annoying to have to push the power button, especially when checking voicemail or any other instance where you need to push another button, to reactivate the screen.
Is there any other way around this?
Ah, nevermind. Just found it searching more. 1.3 in HD Tweak.
Just got the phone yesterday and am loving it so far...
Thanks for everything you guys are doing in this forum! Awesome work.
So one day at the HTC factory, two Developers of Universaly Mind Boggling Assanine System Software (aka D.U.M.B.A.S.S.) are adding the last touches to their current project... the HTC Eris.
Dumbass_001 looks over at his co-worker "hey man, you know what would be really funny?"
Dumbass_002 coughs and replies "no man, what?"
Dumbass_001 says "If you cpassed that joint before it was gone!", then snatches the J from Dumbass_002 "but seriously man this **** would be hilarious man..."
Dumbass_002 "what ?"
Dumbass_001 takes a hit, then coughs out "If we made the 'wake up' button the same as the 'end call' button"
Dumbass_002 damn near kills himself trying to take a hit while already laughing "No, man, we should do that, AND make the screen dim before the display shuts off!"
Dumbass_001 "holy crap, your right! Then they will think the display has shut off for sure and hang up haha"
Dumbass_002 "bro thee only way this would be any funnier... is if we could find a way to randomly shut off all the phones audio!"
But seriously...
Do any of these roms NOT use the damned end call key to wake up the phone?

I have ended at least 20 calls in 5 months this way. No way around it.
There are programs in market to wake up the screen in other ways, like shaking the phone. I haven't tried them on our phone yet, but I'd bet they work.
dee dee dee
i thought i was one of the only ones. i would like to chuck my droid at the tard that decided that was a good idea! it would be nice if the trackball woke up the phone.
Don't know if it's ROM based, but you can also use the "send" key to wake up...

itd have to b a hot key set in kitchen... i havent found one that does w anyother key, but seroiusly the end key is proably the best key for the job anyway. i keep my phone in back pocket alot and i could see the trackball getting hit much easier than an end key or send key. but to each there own...
Try blocking and unblocking the proximity sensor. Works for me.

why would the send key be easier to hit?
Use the volume up or down button to wake the screen back up as needed.

i find it takes more to hit the hard keys rather than the trackball... especially if its in a pocket, but totally an individual prefrence.i run around alot, with phone in pocket and have made alot of inproper pocketcalls with other phones.... with having the droid, ive had none. so, i thank the hardkeys but having mutilple options for everything shouuld be what rom making is and i hope to see the option for more hotkeys and more theme control like such.

I have used both Fresh 2.1.1 and Eris Lightning Cyanogen 2.4 and both wake up upon pressing the "send" key.

+1. This is how I do it too. This works on stock and on any rooted ROM where the proximity sensor is not broken.
Hey guys, just got my S4. Excited about the features and the new S Voice. It tells me it can wake up the phone by voice command which is like totally awesome. You know like in Star Trek they always call the computer to do some stuff for them haha. So I wanted to do the same but it seems you first have to click the home button and then unlock by voice. So it's more like Unlock by voice rather than Wake-up by voice.
Is it possible to make the phone actually waking up by voice without having to touch the home button first?
