Sleep mode? how to wake up phone withh volume button

When phone goes into sleep mode screen off i have to use the power button to turn back on.
How can this been done by mapping the down volume key button to awake the phone?
what software will do this?
JM

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd]
"DefaultKeyLock"= 0
restart。。。done

Interesting!
With this tweak, does the HD wake up on any keypress?
Is it possible too wake up when you touch the Screen?

take the styles out

I was also wondering about this too. Is there a way to wake up just by touching the screen. Having to press the power button and then unlock the phone is one step too many.

Hi, I tried this but did not like it, as it comes on with the Volume screen and makes a sound, unless there is a way to fix that.
Cheers

I can't find DefaultKeyLock in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd

Wake up with trackball or touching screen?

Is there any way, an app or a mod, to allow for the waking up of the phone from the pressing the trackball or touchscreen?
It's kind of annoying to have to move my hand up to press the sleep/power button to wake it up, and then slide to unlock.

Thats how mine works. It pops up on the screen for me to snooze or sleep w/o having to unlock screen first. But I turn the clock app on, than turn off at the top of the phone.

Cool, I didn't know you could do that. It sucks you have to open the clock app every time but at least it's a start.
Now to have this option without having to turn on the clock app

is it possible to Make the Evo's Volume Rocker as the On/off Button

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

Make the capacatative touch controls stay on?

Any setting/way to make an app or hack for them to stay on for longer? It's so annoying that they turn off!

Oh man, I'm getting REALLY annoyed by that. It's bad enough that you can only turn the screen on to use the phone by using the power button that is in such a stupid position.
I'm really starting to miss the Home button on my iPhone.

Actually any of the 3 hard buttons will wake the phone so you can use vol up and down as well

Right. Vol keys don't wake the phone. It would be nice in theory, but adjusting volume (listening to music) with the phone in your pocket would then wake the phone and possibly allow the screen to unlock. I know that's a bit of a stretch, but being a touchscreen right next to your leg.....it could easily happen.

I can't believe there isn't a setting for this. The lights turn off too quickly. There should've been a low-power 'Always On W/Screen' option.
I wish they would've opted for hardware buttons, to be honest. That way, you can at least feel them out in the dark.
I'm new to the Android development scene, but would it be possible for someone to develop a market app to address the issue?

Why did the US carrier phones had the Home button removed.
Now they are incompatible with the regular Galaxy S firmware, and are hard to use in the dark.
Just stupid.
But 4 hard buttons are not a good solution either. A large Home button is.

I like the idea of a single hard button (the N1 trackball, the iPhone home button, the Galaxy S home button), and I agree: it was a stupid decision to remove that button.

dude, stop whining like a lil biscuit. the power button as screen on/off method is fabulous and quick. Loving the 4 touch buttons. Yes I understand the lights go off quite quickly but don't worry, i already have and you will also remember their position.

Power Button on top of the phone is more ergonomic.
Big Home Button is also more ergonomic and you don't have to "remember" it.
I think the US carriers wanted space to slap their branding, so they removed the large Home button. Plus, the 4 buttons make it harder to use international firmware, which will likely advance faster than the US-only versions.

is there any way to map the volume buttons to wake the device from sleep?

back when i had the mytouch4g we had a mod/hack that enabled us to remap the "genious" button in to a google search option.
i was wondering if we can remap the volume buttons to wake the xoom up or just simply enable the volume buttons to wake the xoom.

However, you do not get a lock screen anymore.

Wait for custom roms, most have this kind of feature

Yeap.. I use NoLock because I don't feel I needed that lock screen anyways.. hehhe a byproduct of its use is that the volume buttons will also wake the Xoom

You could always turn off the lock screen in settings without this program.

Oh gosh.. haha couldn't do that on my Captivate so honestly didn't even try on my Xoom. thanks. Also seems that turning off the lock screen in settings still makes the volume buttons wake it up.

no lock doesn't always work for me. the volume buttons wake it right when it goes dark, but if it's more than a few minutes, the volume buttons won't wake the xoom.
is there a solution for this. I love my xoom and the power button is the only think i would change. I have it flat on a desk a lot.
