Simply using the trackpad button to wake the screen just as the lock button does.
first press-> wake screen, second press-> unlock
It was done to the Desire, it can be done for us.

+1 this would make my day.
Life would be awesome.
lockbot app does that, but it sometimes acts funny and doesnt work
i wouldn't be opposed to this. seems like a good idea.
We are already working on it but no luck yet. Don't worry, we will have it out soon for everyone.

Awesome!! Thanks!! )
Droid Incredible Rooted!
if it does indeed require a modified kernel, hopefully somebody combines this with ejhart's under volted stock kernel because his low voltage kernel is kickass.
This is included in the cyanogenmod rom.
Works about 80% of the time. Still in early testing for the incredible though.

Negative. I have been running the cyangen rom and it works 0% of the time.
Hold down the track pad to wake then a short press to unlock on the cm rom. It works everytime for me.
Edit: you can also 'double click' the trackpad to wake and unlock quickly.

Nope. Not for me. No long presses or continuous clicking wakes for me. Just the good ol power button like usual.

Well all be damned ! There is a setting for it in the settings ??

It would be nice, my trackball won't work sometimes idk why either.

if your device is plugged into usb/wall charger while in recovery it may throw things off, my screen starts selecting things on its own and in recovery will auto scroll down and up because of it. just a suggestion but try while unplugged.

i was just getting ready to ask amon if he could update the recovery with an alternate method of selecting
my track ball is completely dead
refurb coming tomorrow cause of this
My trackball has been acting weird, it doesn't even feel right. I have to exert much more pressure for it to be responsive. Scrolling with volume buttons and select with send button maybe? Touch support would be nice too, but I'm not as advanced as the devs so it may be complicated

I posted in the troubleshooting thread but I know people are going to be looking for this and it still hasn't gotten a solution so I am making another thread by itself for this.
Is there a way to disable to volume button on the EVO Shift as every time i close it I hit it and end up muting it. Is there an app or something to disable buttons?
Thanks,

Same thing happens to me. I wish I could just lock the volume in-place and not worry about it.
have you guys noticed you can go from max volume to vibrate in like 1 second flat if you hold the rocker down? i was amazed... i think we might actually have to fix this one guys haha

I used volume locker as well. Seems to work thus far.
This seems like a possible future fix to the issue, better than volume locker in my opinion, not to fond of that.

App called ButtonRemapper for full root.
Here you can follow what devices have support and possibly chime in to push for support of the Shift =)

The ButtonRemapper seems pretty cool except its got a huge security hole, it requires perm r/w to your system directory. I would not recomend that program. I would be interested in the volume locker, is that found in the app store?
Hi guys don't know if I'm getting abit paranoid but how prominent is your power button mine is nearly flush with the body is this about right? Still works fine oh I've hat the phone 2 weeks.

they have really improved the power button on DHD over the Desire...Ive had my Desire button replaced already...because its not flushed and the design means that it protrudes a little out from the body slightly, feels flimsy after a few months...DHD feels much better, I think its because of the internal design...
to open screen you can use tap tap app and to close it use screen off app. in this way you can protect your power button.
Yea I used that tap tap app just brush ya finger over sensor on the top right hand corner and it works really like it personally

Hmm, I haven't used this before, but I'm liking the sound of it. There are quite a lot of apps that don't work yet on Gingerbread, I don't know of any alternatives, but it's likely the developer will eventually get an update out for Gingerbread devices
I have no problem with my power button being too flush. It works fine how it is
Hi I found 2 apps worth mentioning
1 AnyUnLock

Hey, i like AnyUnlock, but it seams to kill my security pattern, is there any program that lets you use the volume keys, AND makes you do your pattern?
Tap Tap App, is good, but it reduces power life
Is there anything else on the market?

The problem with tap tap app you comsume battery quickly since sensor is on all the time. no?
So if you turn the screen off on the NS4G with CM7 and touch one of the soft keys on the phone, the lights come on. Normally they only come on when the screen is on or when there's a notification.
Is this some setting that I'm oblivious to?

That sounds like touch wake mod. Are you using a custom kernel?

Negative. It's whatever CM7 came with.
Funnily enough... I can't get it to happen right now... maybe this is an ID-10-T error....

Go to settings/device setttings and at the bottom there should be two option you can adjust.
It's a bug with BLN. Apparently it carried over to CM7led.

Download the BLN app from market, deactivated and activated the BLN, that should take care of your problem.

Hi, thank you very much for sharing those two apps. However, I can't seem to figure out how to use the free one. I activate it but once my tablet goes off I can't turn it back on with the volume keys. I've searched for a help file or instructions but the app doesn't even have a GUI. I'm unrooted and on stock ROM.

There is no GUI for the free app. just a pop up indicating that's been activated . some times you have to press twice the volume to turn it on.
I am rooted and still in CleanRom 4.1 .

Ok. I'll try when I get home. The power button on this tablet is pretty badly designed. :/
