Hey everyone, I am new to the android platform after two years of iphone I wanted more custom settings.
I'm using the arc for 4 days now and love it so far. Nonetheless I dont like the behavior of the home button. I would like to prevent it from waking my device cause the button gets easily pressed in my pocket. Waking the screen using precious battery juice.
Is there an option to do so?

Not until the phone is rooted.. then you can edit the keyboard files to change its behaviour.
Thanks, waiting for rooting then.

Black screen for a sec on wake up? I know this is a really anal and stupid question. Ive just rooted my arc using gingerbreak. When I wake the device up using the home button, there is a black screen for a brief moment before I get to the slide to unlock screen. I dont remember this before rooting. Can anyone else test this for me? Thanks.

Anyone else vzw xplay slow to wake up? I sometimes push the power button and it takes 5 seconds to wake. Am I alone? Maybe need to wipe my phone.

Ive had some experience of the power button not responding and being slow to respond. I thought the button was broken once, but I took the battery out and back in. And it worked fine , so it seems to maybe be a bug. Ive had no trouble with it for weeks now.

I've had the same problem. The phone doesn't respond to a button press to wake up the phone at all sometimes. Not even holding the button will wake it. I'll have to remove the battery to get it to reboot. Very annoying.
It seems very intermittent--happens just as much with a full battery as with a partially charged battery. This leads me to believe it's a software/ firmware issue, but I'm not sure.
I hope a fix is coming soon. I'm thinking of calling tech support.

Well my phone always wakes up when I push the power button. There's just a 5 second delay each time.

I get this occasionally, most often when using the phone. It improved slightly when I upgraded to 2.3.3, but it still happens. There is another thread on here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1023045, still not sure what the solution is.
Out of habit I do not use the power button to wake my phone.
I have always used the Home button. I have never had a delay. Mine is a R800a though.
Hi, im new here. And was wondering if anyone has had any problems with the hardware keys on their phone? Im having this problem where the back key often responds twice when only pressed once. For example, when im on the main settings menu, pressing the back key would sometimes take me to the homescreen. Only had this problem a while, after updating the build to 4.0 stock.. does anyone have any idea bout this? Also would be appreciated if someone could post an apk file for madden nfl as it was gone after upgrading it

its a hardware fault. mine just used to do it with the back button. But recently it's happening with the menu button too. You should send it back to sony for repair. I can't be bothered i'll be getting a new phone soon.

Oh, okay thanks.. Would send it them once this gets worse. Thanks for the response and congrats on your new phone..

Mine does this too.
Back button sometimes fires three or four times.
Going to send it back for repair when I can be bothered.
Oh, that seems worse than what mine does. Well, yeah going to send it back once it does this more frequently.

Hello guys,
After awhile of using the phone, I feel the power button sinking more and more into the housing. There is a lot less distance to click from now. From time to time (not often) pressing the power button does not wake the phone but that's rare. Anybody having the same issues? Should I RMA?
The N4's hardware buttons are pretty "thin", if that makes sense. If you're worried, you could try something like Screen Off & Lock (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock&hl=en) to reduce the number of times you press the power button. I currently have a gesture set up in Apex Launcher to launch Screen Off & Lock, and it works nicely. I imagine you could do similar things with Tasker or GMD GestureControl.
I installed CM 10.1. It has option to wake the screen with the Volume Rocker.

Yeah I've noticed it on mine too.
It was very harder and more out when I got it. It'll probably stop sinking when it reaches a certain point.

Not used it for a while but I'm pretty sure widget locker lets wake the phone with the volume keys.
As someone else said it will stop dining after a certain point. I noticed the same thing on the gnex too

Hey everyone, I'm a long time iPhone user/dev who has just bought a Nexus 4. Now I know this sounds very noob, but for some reason I have never been able to take a screen shot, using Volume down + Power button combination. I am rooted but running stock JOP40D, and I have had this issue ever since I first turned the phone on. Searched the forums and Google and couldn't find anything nor could I find any type of setting or toggle. Any help would be appreciated. Please be kind!

are you holding the buttons down long enough?
I believe so. Holding for 5+ seconds with no response. Haven't messed with any system files so this seems very odd.

Shouldn't need to really hold down at all. If you get the combo right it's pretty much instant.
When you try does anything happen? Does the volume decrease or the screen shut off? If so your timing is out.
No there isn't any reaction. I can put volume down, I can lock screen, but when pressed at the same time nothing happens. Might need to do a factory reset, although it was doing this on first boot so it's unlikely to help
