When my exec goes into standby (when on the battery), is there any way to configure it to wake up (come out of standby) by either the lid opening or a key being pressed?
I can only wake it up by pressing the standby button, which is fiddly at best, and when its sat on the desk in front of me, you have to use two hands, one to hold the phone to stop it sliding across the desk and the other to switch the device on.
If the screen is facing out and I hit the keypad button, it will come out of standby, I would like to be able to do the same with any button (or even a specific button) on the keyboard.
The menu button on the right of the "Calendar" soft key will take it out of standby while in laptop mode.
On mine a number of the hardware keys will do so. Phone keys, various normal hardware keys etc. Basically just not the keyboard keys.

I have a strange problem that when my device is in standby mode (i.e I have hit the power button once so that it is off but still receiving calls) if my d-pad, ok and windows buttons are all pressed together, the device totally shuts down.
This means when it's in my pocket it usually shuts down completely therefore missing calls because it is no longer in standby. I have button lock enabled so I'm thinking this is a hardware fault. My question then is, is this a common problem and is there a solution?
I'm thinking maybe the battery terminals being right behind these buttons has something to do with it. Strange thing is it doesn't seem to do it when the device is actually powered on and being used and I press this same combination of buttons.
Hi All, I have owned a lot of HTC phones and now I have the HD, its the first time I see HTC phone with such small, thin, and hard to press power button !!
especially in the dark, I cant press it and wake up my phone easily !!
I MANAGED TO TWEAK MY HD and now I wake up my device pressing the volume button, but again I have new problem : sometimes when I carry my phone the volume get pressed by mistake and the ringer get muted or low and I miss some calls !!!
Any solution for this problem so I can wake up my phone from the standby without pressing the microscopic power button !!
Take out the stylus and insert it back again. That wakes up the device. Otherwise you might want to search for a G-sensor enabled "wake-up" application. "Shake_it_to_wake" so to speak...

How can you use it to wake up the device? I don't see that option in the description, except the default stylus in and out...

I guess S2U won´t help you with waking up your device but if you use volume buttons it will protect you from accidental muting your phone.
I found power hard to press, too, but then I looked closely: This power 'button' is indeed non-symmetrical - at least on *my* device: it stands up a bit on one side, the left side, which is closer to the middle of the HD. So I press it *there*, because obviously enough that's the place where the sensor is located. It works easy every time.

Can you tell me how?
Ducasito. Good observation. I wondered why sometime it was easy and sometimes hard. So the slight non-symmetrical button is not a manufacturing fault but a very subtle design feature. Now I know which side to hit. Thanks
Seems all HD's are different OR I have a very heavy finger.
All I need to do to get it to wake it lightly touch the power button and it comes on.

I suppose it is just a matter of "where" you push the button. Just push it on the left edge (where the small led is placed) and you will not need that much pressure to switch the device on or off. The button sensor is actually under that left edge. the picture shows the powerbutton part (picture taken from the HTC Touch HD service manual). Under the left edge of it is the sensor, so putting the pressure there is the best way of pressing the button

You can use AE button plus. I use this to convert my volum buttons to up and down buttons on single click, select/ok on double click, and volume on hold and press.
Thanks for your answer but I´ve a further question:
Do you "wake up" (from standby) the blackstone by using this AE button? I tried to use this software but I couldn`t wake up the Touch HD from standby by using the volume buttons.
Hi,
Ive just got my self a HTC Touch Pro 2, and i am usinh the CSDevCTRL autoloc program. and its great. but my problem is the standby button on the phone.
The button is located on te upper left hand corner (on the top). and when i put my phone in a beltclip, the button is easily pushed. and the phone wakes up.
When the phone then is pressed against something, the autolock program locks up, and sometimes i start phoning someone.
Is there a way to put a delay on the wake up button, so u have to hold it pressed down for x sec. before it wakes up from standby?

Er... you're in the HD2 forum. That's actually a windows question anyway, not device related, but it's certainly in the wrong forum regardless.
Maybe TP2 users have an answer for that problem - it may be common. Ask in there.
Is there a way to change the wake device button on the HD2 with a WP7.8 rom?
I don't want to keep waking it up with the end call power button =\
I already achieved the power-off button to be the windows key, but still, can only wake the device with the end call key =\
Thanks to anyone who can help
here it is
link:http://windowsphonehacker.com/download/touchWake.xap
with this app you can wake your device with window button
just install, run and enable!
but I didn't use it so i don't know that app really works;;
Don't think it works on the HD2 :S I think it's because we have no capacitive buttons... We have physic buttons!
Still, thanks for the suggestion. It is what I'm looking for really. Any button to wake up the device.
