I installed CM7 and everything is fine except while on a call the volume up/down button is hanging up the current call when the proximity sensor is on.
i.e. if you have your phone to your ear, the screen is off and if you press the volume up/down it will hang up the call. If the phone is not on your ear and the screen is on, the volume up/down works normally.
I can't post in the Dev forum since I don't have enough posts, but was wondering if anyone else has this problem?

Well, I figured out it is if you have the "Power button ends call" enabled, the volume buttons will hang up as well if your screen is off. Now if you don't have this enabled, the volume buttons don't do anything when the screen is off.. I hope there will eventually be a fix for this.
Yeah I posted this one in the issue tracker. im guessing it's a member of the Dev team that responded, "it's expected" when volume rocker wake is active. I've never hung up a call when turning up or down volume using Alien or Aura so I too hope this gets a work around.. Weird how it only does it when screen is already off.

repost until it does get fixed. File it as not expected behavior and note other roms, including stock.

i believe this is a side-effect of having the volume rockers set to wake the phone. it's a trade-off.

Hi,
I am struggling why HTC tagged a button as power on/off, if in fact all hard buttons turn the phone on...
Anyhow, any idea hot to change that and only make the bottom right button active for switching the HD2 on ?
Very annoying to have the phone switching on in bags or pockets constantly. I figure that if only one of 5 button had the ability to turn on, it would happen 5 times less...
Thanks
Well MY HD2 can only be turned on using the power button... I've tried pressing all the other buttons but they will not turn it on.
I've got stock ROM v1.66.
Brgds... /Tubgirl
Funny, also stock rom 1.66 here and all buttons work for power on...
bye
Sven
Yes that's correct if you mean "Standby modus". My phone will not power on by pressing other buttons than the power button. I'm using the 1.66 stock rom.
hmmm... any registery guru around to work this one out ?
For me too with the 1.66 stock rom. All buttons turns on the screen. Is there any way to turn on only with the power button????
Up,
please somebody help
well if you didnt have a power button you wouldnt be able to turn it off, regardless of which buttons turn it on again
there used to be an option in the settings menu on my omnia to do this but I really cant find it on my HD2, maybe some other users knows more about the location of this setting. (PS I was sure it was in the Lock or the buttons settings panels.)
Can't find much in the standard WM settings.
I'm also interested in a solution that the screen does NOT turn on by pushing any button.
Nothing find yet...
so what would happen if you're talking to someone and the screen goes into standby? If you want to get out of standby...you'd have to press the end/power button...thus ending your conversation in the process?
the way i understand it is that the HD2 uses the proximity sensor to determine when to turn off the screen during a call.
so i can't imagine a scenario in which the screen would go off during a call and never come back because the moment i pull the phone away from my ear, the screen lights up!
Aren't people confusing standby with turning the phone on and off?
The power button is the only button that can Power on the phone from Off....
However any of the buttons can bring it out of standby...
Bit like my TV... if in standby any button will turn it on, but if turned off only the power button will turn it on.....

I'm sure we all know what the OP meant.
My problem is that, if you put your phone on speaker mode, it'll negate the proximity sensor altogether. If my understanding is correct, proximity sensor is only activated when you're using the earpiece and not the speakerphone. So if that's the case, if I were to talk through the speakerphone and the screen goes into standby after a minute or so, how would i bring it out of standby? If all i have left is the power/end button, then that will end my conversation. People who use the speakerphone a lot to talk will know what i mean...

Totally agree with you! I use this all the time, or even a bluetooth headset...
Probably why HTC didn't implement it like that and any button brings it out of stand by...

Nah... that's nonsense. If HTC had been clever enough to allow bring out of standby using only one button, it would also have been clever enough to program "don't end call when power button used to bring out of standby"...
Anyhow, I personally would love to stop having my phone switching on constantly just because any random object/coin will hit any of the hardkey.
No disrespect, but this has gone off topic. I get your points, but the question is whether/how can it be achieved, not whether or not you would personally want it.
And up...
Thanks
is anyone having issues with waking up this phone? Randomly to get the screen back on I will have to press the power button about four times for the screen to come back on. its really starting to bug
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
press harder. I learned quickly that it takes a firm push and you have to hit the button w/o your fingers getting caught up on the sides of the phone.
it's either that or you got a bad button
I have the same issue, this along with the lag I get at times when I attempt to use the camera has me seriously considering returning this phone. The Inspired I returned had non of these issues just a tinny speaker.

Mine wouldnt go to sleep today when pushing the button. Seems to be a few bugs with this phone eh?
I'm starting to look at re-mapping the keyword to allow the volume keys to wake it up, and then use the fingerprint reader to unlock it. That power button seems to fragile to me. To turn the screen off I just use Extended Controls.
Any thoughts?
Widget locker has an option to use the vol buttons for wake
I kinda have the same problem but its when i press the lock button the screen shuts off but then comes right back on. I press it again, it shuts off, then comes right back on.
I had the same problem - power button wouldn't wake phone from sleep.
I had to do a battery pull to resolve the issue.
I'm using the lastest FW.
Motorola phones (Not just Atrix, but Droid X also) have some funky business that sometimes prevents/delays the screen from turning on, even if the button press is registered. This happens with the power button and also the volume buttons if they're used to wake the device (Like with WidgetLocker). I haven't been able to narrow it down, but I suspect it's related to (ab)use of PowerManager's preventScreenOn()

It sounds logic to me, because even editing the right keyboard file to add a wake_dropped to the volume down, it won't turn on the screen. I hate when they change things the way they do with this, the bootloader, etc.
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.
I have an S5 with an official Samsung case and the volume keeps going to zero so i miss calls and texts. At first i though that i was catching the volume keys as i took the phone out of my pocket. I tried altering the volume by pressing the volume keys through the case but it did not work. In fact when you shut the flap of the case it closes the screen of the phone so the volume keys do not work.
I have checked the setting and i can't see anything that would cause this.
Anyone have any ideas??
I have recently had the screen replaced on my s8 by Samsung and the home button seems different. It vibrates twice when hard pressed when it used to only vibrate once when you lifted your thumb up. Now it does it when you press it and release it. It also seems a lot more sensitive. I have messed with the sensitivity and turned off vibration and haptic feedback but it seems to take a lot less pressure than it used to to make it vibrate. I have turned off google assistant and home button shortcuts to see if it made a difference but it doesnt. Its starting to get really annoying. Its fine if i tap it lightly but it doesnt take much pressure to make it vibrate. When closing apps etc by pressing home button it never vibrated before i had my screen replaced and now its doing it 80percent of the time.
Could you please hard press yours and see how many times it vibrates please?
Could there be something wrong with the screen ?
Many Thanks
I did try and post this and it didnt work so apologies if it creates two threads.

I understand what you mean. Service provider fixed it by calibrating force touch. Take it to the ASC.. it's a software issue.
AfAIK it should vibrate twice. One for pressing and one for releasing, as it is supposed to simulate clicking.
I went into samsung and they said its normal. Wouldnt even plug it in and test it. They are useless

He means that it double vibrates very quickly when holding down the finger. Yes it should vibrate once when pressed and once when lifted the finger but not twice when pressed the finger and didnt lift it up or move it.

No, it's not normal. Request them to calibrate force touch of your phone even if they think there is not any issue and you will notice the difference. In my country, they first said that it's normal but later tried calibrating the force touch using their tool and it pretty much fixed the problem. Good luck !
