We used to switch off all power management option in winmo to get android to control its own power. Is the most update kernel capable in handling the power interface or we still need to trun those options off for blackstone to suspend properly?

Hello,
i´ve got an problem with my wizard, the power on switch is so sensible that the device goes on by usage in pocket bag. then aku growns and without device locking it is calling from itself.
Is there a setting wich make it possible tu use two buttons simular as power button? A registry hack or special programm?
Thank you and excuse me for my bad school english!?!
What do you want to do, disable the power key and use another key or key combination to switch on, or use another key to switch off?

yes, i want to use another button or a combination of two buttons for turning on the device.
I can't say definitively, but I don't think it's possible to entirely disable the power function - you can override the power OFF function, but I suspect that the power ON function is directly connected to the CPU interrupts (at least on xscales, not sure about Omaps). I'm not sure of this, but suspect it from reading the CPU developers' manuals. Anyone tried this before at a low level?
Something you could do is disable the button lock, and then use a custom screen/button lock, so that touching any specified button would wake the system up. That key could then also be assigned a power off function, so you could use a custom key for power on/off. But the power on key would still function I suspect.

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.
Hello,
with android 2.2 the power button was assigned to Home, and I configured the power button to show notifications (when already in home screen).
Moreover sometimes the system is slowering, and it's convenient to have a power on button different than the Power Off.
...with latest android build FRX04, the power button now power the device on and off,
is it possible to reaffect this ?
...otherwise is it possible to have this function with "end" button ?

With android 2.2 do you mean FRX03? I didn't have that behaviour.
In spare parts you can configure the End button to go to Home or Home/then sleep, for example, but I can't find anything to show notifications.
BTW, there's a thread to help with this type of issues, the first sticky
No problem I made a rootfs that fixed the key mapping for the blackstone.
I will just update the latest rootfs and post it here ok

Thank you stickman for posting this rootfs mod
Is this possible to have same functions for hardware buttons like in WM?
Hi Everyone,
I recently got a Surface Pro. It has one really annoying limitation that seems to belie the whole 'tablet' aspect of the laptop/tablet hybrid theme. Pressing the power button while the computer is awake puts it to sleep rather than simply turning the display off. It doesn't look like Microsoft has included any functionality for simply turning the display off. Unless you wait for it to turn off by itself, you can't use the power button to turn off the display without also putting the computer to sleep. I was able to get around this somewhat by downloading a freeware utility that lets you turn the display off with a custom keystroke (Monitor Off), but I would really like to be able to just turn off the display using the power button instead of having to put it to sleep every time.
One option that Microsoft does include in the power management settings is the option to make the power button do nothing. If I select that option, then nothing happens when I push the power button. My thinking is that combining that option with an app or a hack that re-maps the power button to the keystroke I set in Monitor Off would probably do the trick. Does anyone know of such an app or hack?
Hi,
Is there any way to disable twice push power button to power-off Android based projector? It's very annoying then I have to do it.
The double-press option is very common in use on many models and many A/V devices so it shouldn't annoy you. It protects you from accidentally pressing the button and turning off the device.
If you can't find the option to change the shutdown method in the device settings, there's nothing you can do about it or nothing you should do about it.
