Does anyone know of a way to keep the keyboard from "waking up" the phone when it's slid out? The reason I want to know because my case has magnets in it and it causes my phone to turn on whenever i put it in or remove it from my case. The phone is rooted in case there's a hack, if not, maybe an app?
There is no official way of doing it.
Although untested you might be able to download tasker or locale and set it to whenever you open the keyboard when asleep itll lock the screen? idk not a big user of tasker but it might be possible

Doesn't pulling out the keyboard mean that I wish to use the device?
If so why didn't they make doing so to power on the device automatically.
Can this be done?
This is something I've thought of too, especially since once you have slid out the keyboard, it becomes difficult to hit the power button (or do I just have fat fingers )
would love to know if some one could get this to work.
This is so obvious to us that it should be doable. Let's hope it is.
I don't think this would be a good idea. because the keyboard slide easly open when you pull it out of the case or when you just handle it. each time it will power up on unwanted moments. your battery will draw more quickly.

It would only need to power up when the backlight of the keyboard comes on, so that would require the keyboard to be fully open. It's unlikely you'd do that by accident.
I agree its only when it clicks back fully that the the screen flips over which means it should be safe to turn on at that point.
Besides it seems to lock closed rather nicely for me but perhaps with age it will wear out.
At least as adults we could have been given the option to take the risk !
i agree this would be a good idea - in fact i wondered why it doesn't do this by default when i first used it...
Slide out keyboard should power on device
Yes this is missing, let the power on respons on the end of sliding like the screen switch!
What if it automatically opened the "new text message" window as well? I think that could be quite cool, cause the only time I open the keyboard is to write a message usually

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Logical thing would be to make "keyboard opened" a configurable "button", just like how you can assign actions to other (real) buttons.
Is the JasJam better behaved than WM2003 models in terms of waking up? My iMate PDA2k wakes up and activates the screen when e.g. received SMS, or connected bluetooth, or all sorts of things. Having the screen activate causes lots of accidental things like making phone calls etc. Same thing happens getting it out of holster or pocket while ringing. When it wakes up to ring or otherwise notify, the screen should stay locked until a hard button is used.
has there been updated with this?
Ive searched the registry thinking that if the OS knows the keyboard is open and rotates the screen then surely we can tell it to wake it up. But not much luck...
I have noticed that the slide action of the keyboard is very sensitive. Sometimes when sliding into the belt case, the phone turns on.
I have set up the button lock function, but the sliding action apparently overrides this.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks
Most probably, you belt case has magnetic locks, and they trigger the keyboard mechanism, causing the phone to switch on.
I wonder why these idiots from HTC decided to make the phone switch on when you flip open the keyboard.
On my Verizon TP2, the screen goes to sleep after a minute or so. It doesn't wake up when I pick it up or even with a tap on the screen or keyboard; it requires that you hit the stupid wake button on the side of the phone.
I was wondering if a program exists to make my TP2 operate like my Logitech Harmony One remote; it automatically wakes the screen when I pick it up.
Thanks, I appreciate it.
If someone could make an application like that i would be very thankfull.
While the harmony movement detection is working very well it would be possible on an TP2 as well.
just wave a magnet over it.
the case's magnetic flap will work.
I personally think that a program to wake up the phone by detecting movement is not good idea bcoz it'll keep the device on while you are walking and having the phone in your pocket, so battery life will be affected. Unless you disable that feature when you are carrying it and run the app just when the device is on your desk.
An easy solution would be to disable the wake function if movement longer than 3 or 4 seconds is detected. If in constant motion, like in your pocket when walking, it would remain asleep.
im looking for an app that could allow the device to wake from sleep by a quick double tap on the screen, anyone know if such a thing exists?
Sorry if this is a repetition, but couldn't find a satisfactory answer anywhere else.
The thing is I hate using the power button to wake my phone up. I don't mind the pulling down of the bar on the screen (which is the second step), but constantly fiddling with my power button each time I have to unlock it doesn't gel well with me.
Is there any way one can bypass the first step? I am using an app called Lockbot, but the problem with that is that when I receive an incoming call, it automatically unlocks my phone.
So basically looking for an app which uses any of the front buttons (as first step) and then either the pull-down-bar or an iphone type slide or an eclair type rotating as the second step. Also don't want the phone to unlock all by itself when getting a call.
(Do Lock 2.0 / Keyguard Disabler help here?)
Is your phone rooted? There is such an option in the cyanogen mod to wake up via the trackball
No it isn't, and wouldn't like to root this to be honest. Any apps available for this?
I've got a note 3 sm-n9005 NOT rooted and my phone keeps unlocking itself in my pocket. I *think* what's happening is that my menu button is being pressed accidentally against my leg or the pocket (depending on which way it's in the pocket) and it's waking it up. I'd prefer not to root, but I was wondering if there was anyone here who had the same issue and / or know of anything i should look for/check on to make sure i didn't set something else that might be doing this or ways that i might be able to prevent this from happening. it's actually a pretty severe battery drain, and also i end up going into programs, dialing numbers, entering text... how do i solve this?
P.S. I had an original note (sgh-i717) and it had capacitive buttons on the face which were completely inactive unless i woke the phone by pressing the power button on the side. this configuration not only worked BEAUTIFULLY but the interface was much more usable and less likely to break. I really wish they'd do away with the physical menu button. it sucks. - and also, where'd the search button go? it was super useful for activating google now and i configured long-press to launch the camera which was super useful.
while i'm on the topic, anyone who can tell me how to remove svoice and have google now wake up the phone with either ok google or high galaxy without rooting / switching roms would have my high praise. I really don't like svoice, never have. google now is *much* better.
