How can I check battery drain and change Keybinding - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hi, I sucessfully NAND-flashed my HD2 yesterday. I am quite satisfied.
But I would like to know how I can check battery drain in mA, and how I can change hardware keybinding?
I would like to replace the call button (the very left one) with the search button.
Is that possible?

I don't know about the keybinding but you can check your battery by using the Current Widget (available from the market). In the setting of the widget there's an option to log the mA values into a text file.

Thank you, that Widget does the job.
Still don't know how to change key binding.

Anybody? No ideas?

There is an app called button remapper you can try. I have it but I havn't tried it yet.

XDA Exec - lightbulb button

Is this supposed to do anything?
If you have the "power off after..." option set, then you can switch it back on again with that button. Other than that, I'm not sure it has a purpose.
Cheers,
Steve.

I've got my Exec setup to switch off the screen backlight after a short delay when on battery. Pressing the lightbulb button switches the backlight on again.
If you don't set your exec to switch off the backlight, then I can see why this button won't be massively useful for you.
Read the threads on how to assign apps to the lightbulb button, to make it useful.

Got that set - but the button doesn't do anything for me. I'll try the reg hack version that's in this thread and see if it then works.

Endkey lock

Is there any way i can shorten the time that long press+endkey takes to lock my htc 3g? I'd like to have 1 sec, not 2 or 3..
i found in HKCU\software\htc\longpressendkey that changing the value you change the function (es 1=airplane mode, 2= lock, and so on), but nothing about the lenght..
cheers everyone!
I dare to say that NO. You cannot shorten it. This sucks big time. I am using a hardware key mapper to assign one of the volume keys to lock the device instead. And there is a REALLY great 3d party locking app out there called Pocketshield. It is cheap and perfect and the latest v3 beta looks even better. All the updates for this app are almost always very handy. This is self-initiative promotion. It REALLY IS GREAT!
Why not use this customised method.. one tap >> locked instantly

Then it wouldn't be globally accessible. You need to get to that screen to click that

In that sense, yes you are correct. I apologise for putting a bad option.

Come on no need to apologize... I just mentioned it. BTW maybe someone likes to have the homescreen always there
You can use CSDEVCTRL.
I set it to lock after 10secs of idle time, or right after I press the power button.
So many other options available. Ref: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=386451
Come on guys - s2u2 is simply the best! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=527523
And no danger in pressing the button in your pocket to unknowingly unlock your phone.
thanks guys, I'll check out one of those and ii'll tell you what suits better for me!

Well no doubt about it: s2u2 takes the cake!
New radio + SPB3 + s2u2 = Jade GALORE!
Thank you for your suggestions!

Solution for the CRT screen off animation

Hello there.
i did like very much the crt animation on the 2.3.3 firmware but now in 2.3.4 i dont have it.
so i searched alot and the only thing i was find is to change some files on system...
well iam not an expert to change the files all the time exept for the mods to reboot the phone and the widgets on my top...so accidently yesterday i did find an app tha iam happy to share with you...
i install the app Screen off and lock and i find it very usefull and i have the crt animation
here is the market link: https://market.android.com/details?...SwxLDEsImNvbS5rYXRlY2NhLnNjcmVlbm9mZmxvY2siXQ..
If someone of the admins find this post unusefull or for any other reason...plz delete this post without any warning.
Would have been great if you could use the "Search" function before posting something. This application has been specified in numerous places.

I accually use the 'search' function but under the name of ' Crt animation' and not by the app name as i only look for my SE Arc and i dint find anything..
i thing there are other users like me ho search only under the the SE Arc section.
if iam wrongand this post is unusefull i have say that admins can delete that post without any warning

This doesn't work, or solve the problem I think. It only works when you switch the screen off by pressing the app, not by the actual power button

You are right, it only works if you switch off the screen by hitting the short cut. I am still looking for a solution with the physical off button.

You have been a member of XDA for quite sometime surely you are capable of using the search button rather than create a brand new thread?

lol thxxxx for the tip, wasn t searchnig the right words (hard to be french)
after reading the topic, don t see anybody talking about long press on back button = kill current app, #confused
Another mod which works but your phone needs to be rooted.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2200369
i ve seen this one already but same it seems that long press = menu action not killapp
Surely double tapping on the home button is quite intuitive though? I think the mod you are after would mess up the long press back for menu (sorry I misread your first post).
dbl tap on hop open recents app (so far on mine) and longpress does nothing, here the trick is to create the menu app that is gone, not the killer task button. no rpob, we read all too many lines per day

This mod is very useful and I use it very much on my current One X. It is from one xda ROM for one X. I hope someone can make a MOD for ONE.

Same issue here. Friend with same situation also did a factory reset, which didn't help.

other than using the power button to turn it on, and crossing my fingers that this will get re-enabled in Android 4.5/5 around July/August, no :/
Also annoyed that the auto-brightness+ setting is now gone, but that at least was fixable through the Lux app.
Brightness button did not disappear on mine. Sprint S4
Any solution for the home button?
It's a world wide issue with all tw KitKat updates.

Couple alternatives. Wanam with Xposed could fix it. Also, a different launcher would let you set it too.

Thx bud,
I don't think that the prob is from the launcher, as it doesn't work with other launchers neither (I don't use TW, also it is working normally with s-view cover opened).
I have Wanam with xposed, but don't find any option like that... could you help me out? Thx a lot!
I found another strange issue, don't know if you have it , too. If I deactivate auto-unlock when I open s-view cover, it still unlocks when I open it... even after restart.
Edit: Found the solution for other issue: Nils Notification was set to always unlock when cover opened, nothing to do with rom... My fault

In Wanam, under System, there is a section for Long Home key behavior, can you not, Launch S Voice from there?
I use Google Now, and this is how I launch that.
As for S-view, I can't help with that, I dont have that.
