Under my original rom I could push the power button and the phone would go into standby (screen off, buttons dead) and then push the same button and it would wake up. I just installed Open Touch 2.2.1, and now when I go into standby, when I wake it up, I have to go thru an unlock process. How can I disable the unlock process, I've checked under keylock and lock and neither of these have settings that apply. Thanks.
you should ask this in "Open touch" thread. perhaps there is s2U2 installed - a programm that is for locking and unlocking...
you ahve to ask there how to disable this program

I'm running Black 3.01, and the only way I can bring the device out of STANDY is with the power button. My KeyLock is set to "Lock buttons if device is locked." The device is NOT locked, just in standby, and the only button that can get it to wake up is a quick-push of the Power-Button.
I thought there was an app that said you could push ANY button to bring it out, but I can't find that on WM6 Black 3.01.
Thanks!
I asked this same question long ago with no real answer, i hate the small power button and its just to hard to find... If the power button could be relocated to the PTT that would make this phone awesome...

Hello.
My solution to this problem is to use MortSaver. It can be configured:
one press on (a specified) button sends the phone to standby
two presses on (a specified) button bring the phone back
one press on (a specified) button show the time, missed calls, mms/sms, battery and phone signal
I've assigned it to the upper right (Internet Explorer) button and it does the job well.
Best regards!

Not sure if this helps, but a friend of mine broke his power button, and now wakes his device up by ejecting and re-inseting his memory card.
Hello all,
I am new to the forums but I have been using the HTC Touch for a few months now, and would like some guidance about a few problems i'm having. First off, I am using the official 6.1 rom with sprint....
I am running S2U2 and am having a problem with my phone turning off while in my pocket. It seems the power off menu can be brought up if you hold the power button, even if S2U2 is running. This is very frustrating, is there anyway to lock the power button when S2U2 is running, or any other option?
Is there any edits that can be done to make S2U2 call the factory device lock? I couldnt find anything related to the lock in the registry. If there is, is there anyway to assign the factory device lock to the power button, so that when you blank the screen it auto-locks? I love this feature with s2u2, and with stock device lock it takes 3 buttons to do this...
Thanks!

The only thing that I could suggest that might help is to get yourself a good case for your phone that would protect the button from being accidentally pushed. I have never had this problem with my phone. The button actually has to be pressed and held to bring up the power off menu. Even when not in it's case, I have never had this happen; however, the phone is only out of it's case, when I am using it. In the case, there is even less chance of powering off the device.

The default device lock works just like S2U2, as it leaves only the power button unlocked. If you locked all buttons, how would you turn your phone back on??

The problem i'm having is that the phone actually powers off while in my pocket somehow....what i'm saying is that the phone not only "wakes up" from the standby mode, but also calls the shut down window and you can press the "yes its ok to shut down" button while s2u2 is running, something the stock device lock will not do.
It would be really nice if there was a slide type lock that was based off the code of the stock device lock.
Thanks for the replys
Find what the application is that launches when pressing the button and add it to the S2U exclusions list.
I have a verizon and my power button toggles screen off and on, so im not entirely sure, Is this a stock popup or a program you installed ? There is probably a registry entry somewhere that defines how the power button functions jsut as the button manager does for other buttons.

I understand your point, and am still wondering what it is you keep in your pocket with your phone that shuts it off!? Anyways, why do you keep referring back to the default device lock? S2U2 performs the same way, as it locks everything besides the power button. If the power button is locked, how would you wake up the device to unlock it ???
the power button has two functions, it blanks the screen if you press it, or it brings up the power off menu when you long press it. The problem i'm having is s2u2 doesnt prevent the power off menu from coming up, where as the stock device lock does. Thus, it is possible to completely power off the phone while the keys are locked.... of course I want to be able to wake the phone up with the power button, but i dont want to be able to turn it completely off.
And i'm not sure how it turns off in my pocket, except i usually carry it with the power button face down (phone upside down) and it must press against the bottom of my pocket...
The application that it is calling is the stock shut down menu, i'm not sure how I could add this to the exception list, as I dont know how to call it remotely....
Thanks again for the replies!
The title of this caught my attention.
It would be very nice to have a registry edit that will lock the device when powered off or on device wake up.
I use S2U2 and I am really not liking it personally, but it is better then the default setup currently I feel.
today i have upgraded my Leo ROM (from sunnysoft) and i dont have slide to unloock screen after turning on display. Any suggestions?
Keep pressing Power button and then press lock. Should work again
or go in Start menu and click on Lock,sometime it happens to me too and after manual lock works again
Hi,
I want to know about any app or widget that just put screen to off, without locking the device. Same function like when I press the power button.
For example lock automatically device time is 5 minutes after screen automatically turns off. So if I press power button, it simply turn off the screen, if within 5 minutes pressing home button or power button again, it brings device on. (do not ask to unlock device pattern or pin)
So far I have checked almost all apps / widgets that on press, lock the device as well.
I am not looking for apps which are using any proximity or any other sensor. I am using galaxy s4
I already have checked other related questions in this xda developer, but could not find the answer to it exactly.
Thanks
Interested as well!

This one maybe: HERE. Try other thing too: Put the lockscreen off manually (Apps - Settings - My device - Lock Screen - Screen Lock - None)
Hello everyone here,
I just run into trouble - a power button on my Galaxy J5 failed. Few days ago home button failed too.
Device is still on and running, so I need a quick check for not locking myself out.
1) after phone was locked - can volume keys wake the screen? (so I can enter e.g. an unlock pattern)
2) does J5 require to press power or home button to turn it on (e.g. after power down)
3) does J5 require to press power or home button to wake screen after it is restarted?
also, if anyone would like to suggest...
4) how can I access restart menu? or just restart the device?
5) any other issues I can run into?
6) can the be a software issue?
7) can a non-affiliated repair shop get this easily fixed or would they probably make things worse?
any advice is welcome!
phone is not rooted. Lock screen security (pattern) is now deactivated.
Model SM-J510FN, J510FNXWUAQG1, Android 6.0.1,
thanks!
Plug in charging, if it wakes up its working!!
thanks for feedback!
yes, it is working I installed Gravity Screen app and it seems to be doing fine with turning screen on and off.
The only question left is what to expect if the battery should run off one day or I'll need to reboot the phone or take out the battery... I am afraid it expects pressing power button to start booting, but its not working... any ideas?

Yep.. Then you'll have to take it to the service centre, that's the only solution I can think of.. :silly:
today the power button misteriously started to act again. I'll stick to Gravity app for waking the screen and hope the button will work in rare cases when needed after powerdown....
thanks everyone for suggestions!
