is there a way to get back from the Hermes' "sleep mode" aside from using the power key?
say, like pressing any other button? or is there something im missing here?
thanks in advanced...!!!
Yes, you can change this. Go to:
Start / Settings / System / Key Lock
you will then get 3 options:
1-Lock all buttons except Power button (default)
2-Lock buttons if device is locked
3-Do not lock buttons
Change the setting to 2 or 3 depending on your preference

Does anyone know if there's any type of hack to enable a different button on the Cingular 8525 to be the power on button? Being right-handed, when I pulll out the phone, it's annoying to have to use 2 hands to turn on the phone. I have the AEBPlus program but it only lets you assign a different button to power "off" the phone. I'm looking for a way to program a button on the left-hand side (possibly button 5 [ptt button] or the Windows button [labeled "ok] to power on the phone). Anyone have any ideas?
I guess no, power buttons on almost devices is connected directly to procesor (like reset button and watchdog circuit), and in fact if device is off, no system loaded, there is no way to adjust registry settings to change this.
might sound stupid, but you can try to hold the phone differently? i operate the phone with both hands (am right handed) and either way, you can power on/off the phone with 1 hand.
if holding it in the left hand, use your left hand's index finger wrapped around the back of the phone.
if holding it in the right hand, use the thumb of your right hand.
i know it isn't the solution you were looking for, but it might help
Yeah, I figured that I could do that. It's just that when I wrap my hand around like that, i have a tendency to push out the keyboard and then I have to go back to 2 hands anyway.
In using AEBPlus (or even the default commands under the "buttons" settings) and it wouldn't be so bad if I could figure out a way to get the screen to come back on. But even when I try and set one of the buttons on the right to "screen on/off" it will turn off the screen but won't turn it back on. I'm not talking about a powering on/off of the phone. I'm just talking about a way to turn on/off the screen.
never mind. I figured it out. I had the "key lock" set to the fact that the only button that would turn on the device (if the screen was off) was the power button. I fixed that. Now I'm good to go.
Currently, I can only power on my phone via the power button, but at some point I had something installed (or tweaked some registry setting or something so that I could also press the green/phone button and that would also wake it up. All the other buttons - except power and phone - were locked out and did nothing (once I powered off). Now I can't recall how in the world I did that. Can anyone help me on this? Pleeease?

On mine, it's a setting under keylock.
Start -> Settings -> System
Yeah, I have that, too, but my options are...
Lock all buttons except Power button
Lock buttons if device is locked
Do not lock buttons
If I choose option 2, any of the HW buttons will wake it up. But I used to have it set so that only the power button OR the phone button would wake it up. The messaging, IE, camera, etc. buttons would not wake it up.
Are you saying that you have the option for just the power and phone buttons? If so, maybe it's an OS issue? I'm running WM6.1...
There is no such option for just the power and phone buttons under keylock. Just the 3 options u saw! Maybe a 3rd party app...
I guess it must have been a 3rd party app, then, or something that applies tweaks, but I've looked in AdvancedConfig and SKTools and I don't see it anywhere.
I know I did it somehow. Just hoping someone will recognize this and know how it's done.
Hi,
Sometimes when I need to turn it on by pushing the on/off switch, it started to perform soft reset! I also found out that when my D810 going to sleep (in my words), all keys but the on/off switch were dead even the phone. I tried to call myself using another telephone, the D810 was off!
Is there any idea? Or any advice?
firstly, have you ever dropped your d810 ?? or maybe 'accidentally' flush in on water...
if you don't, then
1. for auto reset power button : consider to check the 'shortcut button' on Start -> Settings -> Buttons, check on there, if you assign power button to 'Soft Reset'
2. for 'dead key' : check on Start -> Settings -> Key Lock, check on there, if you Set option into Lock button if device is locked, and change it into Lock All Button Except Power Button
for the third problem, have you ever try your sim card into another gsm phone ?? and call it again ??
ps : some dumb question...you sure it's not on flight mode ??

Nowaday my D810 became normal, it seems ok, thx anyway!
The proscribed method of pressing both up and down volume bar (while PDA is off) and then briefly pressing the power button doesn't produce the desired result.
Is there a programatical way of achieving this, please?
TIA

Try this, it may work:
Touch HD Clear Storage
You can also use Clear Storage to reset your device back to factory default settings.
1. On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap All Settings.
2. On the System tab, tap Clear Storage.
3. Enter “1234” and then tap Yes.
I would check the buttons work then. I have used this method and it does work. Turn the phone off, long press on the power, yes to turn off. Then hold both volume buttons down, press the power button (keeping the volume buttons pressed).
When the boot screen appears you can let go of the volume butons.
Or use the clear settings above ;-)

I think the trick is to BRIEFLY press
the power button while keeping both
up and down volume buttons pressed.
hi I m a new S4 user and I encounter a problem.my screen timeout and my touch key light never go off base on the setting I made. This problem will only happen when I power up the phone follow by keying the code to turn off the Wi-Fi power save mode. I check on all my screen timeout and touch key light setting all is unchanged but this setting just don't take place,I need to press the "power" button to off the screen and touch key light.is there any hidden features that can solve this problem? Another question is can the Wi-Fi power save mode able to off permanently and no need to always go in to disable it everytime the phone is power up? Thanks hope you people can help me out.
