hi all,
qs for the devs...can the volume rocker be "hacked" to make it wake the phone up from sleep mode? It'll be a nice addition to have and would put far less stress on the power button!
that would be a cool idea too.
It already happens if you've got music playing. Changing volume will wake the phone and screen. It's actually pretty annoying and a big cause of battery drain.
I don't see why it would "stress" the power button. The feature is ok IMO and i don't think the volume feature you want to add is necessary. As long as you don't abuse on it or press hard on it it should't be a problem.

Hey guys, do you think its possible to make the evo's volume rocker as the on/off button, because the samsung galaxy S the on/off button is on the side which is very convient spot, because you can turn on/off your phone without extending your thumb or finger all the way to the top of the device like our devices "evo", can this be dont on a software tweak?
Download "No Lock" from the marketplace. It disables the screen lock but also lets you wake up your Evo by hitting the volume up or down buttom. To turn the screen off, you'll still have to hit the power button though. Works well for me. YMMV.
+1 NoLock works like a charm
Ifly
EVO fully rooted fresh

Mhmm, i guess this will do for a while, hopefully someone here, will make it happen someday.... thanks for telling me this " No lock " app
no lock also sorta makes up for the lack of a physical silence switch... if hte phones in my pocket, i just click the volume down button once and then hold it until it vibrates and then hit the power button once. much easier than messing with the screen without looking at it =D
Lockout also does this,and you can customize your lockscreen.
I couldn't find lockout in the Market, and I like the slide to unlock I just don't want to have to reach up to the power button when the vol. buttons are there and should wake to unlock too. I'd pay for that tweak.

Thanks for that, sadly i cant root my evo right, cuz i did the recent ota update
Hi all.
I find quite often I end up missing calls because the volume has accidentally dropped.
is there any way or app to lock it and ignore the button presses, and maybe re-assing to something else?
thanks
responding to myself here.
I found volume locker in the market which does that.
However, it'd be nice to be able to remap the buttons.
any ideas where to get an app for that?
I hate that feature on the X10.
Who the hell though it would be a good idea to have those buttons control the ringer volume at all times?
I have never required to toggle the volume of the ringer so often that I needed hardware keys for it. Just set it once and forget.
Sometimes I'm in the media player and because a video or song isn't playing I will accidentally turn the ringer volume up or down.
I would love to have those buttons bring up the phone's status when pressed on the standby screen ala Sony Ericsson Dumb phones.
I hate it that the shift wakes up either with the power button OR the volume rocker. I always bump the volume every time I pick it up, then have to go to the power button to turn it back off. Such a bad idea. Any way to disable the volume rocker from waking the phone?
The volume rocker doesn't wake up the phone, I just tried.
Sliding the keyboard partway out will wake up the phone, AND bypasses the lock screen, which is a really poor "feature"

My wife's evo shift wakes up when you press either the up or down volume keys. Anyone else experience that, or is ours one of a kind?

That's weird... now I'm worried we have a bad phone
Mine doesnt do that either. That would be a def battery killer if it were to happen in your pocket all the time. Make sure you dont have the backlight timer too high or that might become an issue.

On mine, when I slide the keyboard I still have to enter in my pattern pin.

I do not have a pattern pin or code set. Mine will wake on slide.
Mine doesn't wake on volume rocker though.
My phone does this. I have the lockscreen disabled because I i hate that extra step. My phone will wake up if I press the volume rocker. I wish I could disable this
Hello to all,
Is there a possibility to change the hardware button to wake up Miui? On this moment all of the hardware buttons wake up Miui, but I would like only the power button to have this function. This because of the unnecessary wake ups in my trousers.
Thanks.

Power button is known to have issues when you press it to many times! So i am trying to avoid the Power button...
I always wake up my phone with Windows Button which is good cause it is in the middle of the phone and not on the side. But that's just my opinion!
I just got a Razr M set up and running as my daily driver, running the excellent BlissPop 3.2. I find that the volume buttons on this phone in a Trident case are quite easy to press, so much of the time when I'm pulling the phone out of my pocket, I hit the volume buttons.
I'm fairly sure that my old DroidX running CM11 disabled the volume keys while the screen is off, though I may check that to be sure. They certainly were not as easy to push.
After quite a bit of searching, I can't find how to disable the volume keys while the screen is off, whether or not the phone is locked. There is a setting to disable the volume keys all the time, but that's not an option. I also found a setting to make the volume keys change tracks while music is playing, but that's no good either.
In fact, if the screen is off but the phone isn't locked, I can press volume up or down, and when I turn the screen on with the power button, the volume pop-up is there.
The only button that should be active while the screen is off is the power button! Does anyone know how to make it work this way?
More info: I just determined that if the phone is locked and the screen is off, the volume keys do nothing. That's good, but I don't want to lock my phone every time I turn the screen off, as it becomes annoying to have to enter the PIN all the time.
This "problem" was solved in the 20150506 version. I upgraded over the weekend and discovered that the volume keys work as I wish now.
