I only use power and i only see the lockbot locker

dont know if its anything to do with my phone booting up strait to the standard lock maybe if i used a task killer to kill its process after that it may stay away?
edit: didnt work lol

I may be lucky that i don't have that problem

untap "prevent wake up" in lockbot settings and you don't get double lockscreen, even if you use menu key to wake up the phone. but if you use a lock pattern, it will be disabled too. you can use the lock pattern of lockbot by selecting it under "security" in lockbot options.

This worked for the first few unlocks then started getting double again

i was talking with the Lockbot Dev 2 months ago about the issue with double lock on the X10, is answer was make sure your SD card is in the phone. Unfortunatly that was the last bit of support i got from him, i tried to get a refund and he also ignores my request for that too.

ive tried both and had the same problem, i found lock 2.0 to be a bit better, if i enable the "disable stock lock screen" it works for a while but the stock lock does still come back. i have no idea what is causing it and no one seems to care too much. ive tried talking to the lock 2.0 dev, and he does look into it but he'll start to get somewhere and gets into a vicious circle of asking me what device i have, even after if told him 5000 times, and tells me to "reboot" the phone to fix it. "sigh"
it really bugs me because i hate the stock lock, but doesnt make sense to have 2 popping up :s i was hoping with root access we could just remove the stock slider but it must be built right into the kernel?

it works for me since 5 days now without problems. maybe you got some other lock app active (like NoLock for example)?

I tried lockbot but the stock screen-lock came back from time to time. Yes, I use no lock. I didnt verify the lockbot performance without no lock because no lock was so useful and gave me a lot of conveniences. I wont give up no lock to use lockbot.

i use flyscreen with no lock it works perfect

Bug number 2
If you have set Lockbot on, it will create a conflict with "Flight Mode"
You can´t come back from "Flight Mode" outside and get Lockbot off.

[Q] Why not to "wake up" the Legend by pressing any key ?

Hi,
its my second day with HTC Legend..
I love it, its totaly nice but i just have a quistion !
is there any way to give all keys the ability to wake up the device
then i touch the screen to unlock it ? i think it would be better than
waking up device by pressing Power key ! and it will save power key
pressing counts..
in other way the screen is already locked and we have to unlock it
after waking up the device !
so, Why not to "wake up" the Legend by pressing any key ?
i want to know why they did not put this option
and if there is any way to fix it ...
Thanks..

Hey man, had the same issue myself and a free app in the market fixed it.
Search nolock and grab it up

Check out the NeonMod or Azure ROMs. Both have the ability to wake screen using the trackball button or menu button.

There should be an app called Market. Android Market. It's where you go to download apps, which is the whole point of smartphones

I want any way, app or trick just to allow me wake up the device without power key, and i dont want to disable the "htc locked screen"
Please help me..
thanks all

Could you finally access the Android Market? If not, tap the screen on that left soft buton (the one with the small arrow) and a list with all installed apps will pop up.
Search for an icon called Market with an icon like a bag (someting like the one attached)
After pressing it you'll enter in "the market". Look for an application (you have a search at the top of the screen) called FlyScreen. It's a screen locking utility that brings you something similar to Froyo one, with lots of options (including placing widgets on the lockscreen). Besides that, press on any device buton to wake it up then slide it to unlock. The only bug I've found was that pressing Home buton wil give you the homescreen instantly, without the need to unlock the device.
Let me know if it's ok for you

no market in my device and noway to install it, i tried everything its something with software policy in some areas, and my phone is not rooted , i dont wanna break the warranty

Did anyone ever find a way - other than installing a custom ROM - to do this? It sounds like NoLock just enables/disables the lockscreen, and what I (and the OP) want is to be able to wake the screen up with the home or trackball button.
Any ideas?
Cheers

did you find any way ? am still looking but nothing found !
and i dont wanna root my phone..

it almost be impossible in a simple way without modifying "/system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl" file. But modifying this file requires real root or recovery mode.

Weird, because I was using No Lock and it removed lock screen and gave me an option to wake my Legend with press on any key. It basically wasn't a good idea, since I pressed vol up/down by accident far too many times.

The no lock app works. No lock and wakes up on any key including the volume keys (not a good idea). The widget solves my problem though. I keep it unlocked when at work, but keep it locked otherwise. Doing it manually now.
Would love an app that can do it automatically

Guys, I told you that you can use FlyScreen for what you need. For those who don't have access to the Android Market, I've found a topic on this forum that has also link to download the .APK from MegaUpload (you find the link HERE)
With this small application, you're replacing the default lockscreen and also you can wake the phone by pressing any hard button not only power. The drawback is that pressing Home, will get you on the homescreen without need for unlock. Test it if you like, anyhow the application is free.

Yeah, I got flyscreen but I can't figure out how to make it work.
When I enable "Lockscreen mode", every time I go to unlock my phone I get a "Please wait" message before I can actually unlock it. Even though I don't have any widgets on Flyscreen.
Does this happen with you?

No, for me worked from the beginning without any problems. I've initially used the weather widget but the red color was hurting my eyes so I've disabled it.
I don't know what advice to give, there are plenty of settings to try and you should also check their homepage for tips.

AnyUnlock: An app to treat N1's power button problem (no root required)

Before developoing this app, I am using
1. Nolock
2. Flyscreen
3. lock widget
in order to
1. use any key to turn the phone on
2. use widget to turn off the phone
3. Use flyscreen to prevent the accident tap
However this combination is huge and invenient. So I deciced to develop a very small app (40k in size) it can
1. Use any key to turn on the phone
2. A widget turn phone off
3. A very simple lock screen to prevent accident tap.
Search AnyUnlock in Android Market and enjoy it. If there are any porblems, please report.

i like it!
perhaps you should include an option to enable or disable the 'lock screen to prevent the accidental tap.'

Yes, I will do that in next version.

It didn't work for my N1. I enabled the app, brought me to the 2nd window where I also enabled it and let the phone shut down and nothing, I had to use the power button to turn the screen back on. Back to nolock.
It was the way I installed it, working now but after installing gingerbread the trackball wake no longer wakes the screen, have to use the volume key. Still very effective but like the trackball wake.

Yes, there is a bug. If you don't allow the admin permission in the first time. The program will fail. You can disable it, uninstall it and reinstall to take effect.

I also couldn't pick up on an incoming call... it just went to the screen which shows the enable/disable anylock buttons. I couldn't press home or back. Uninstalled it for now.

I have updated to 1.2 with the option to disable simple lock screen. Also I tried to fix your phone call issue. Hopefully it is working.

OK 1.3 released with fixes to some non-n1 devices.

Works fantastic. After enabling the app I went back into settings and unchecked the lock screen. Now it works just the way I wanted. Thanks for the great app.

Interesting app since my power button is acting up, Thanks.

You can have a try. The power button is quite vunerable for HTC devices. I hope Android would make an official option to power on the device using any keys.

works brilliantly now! thanks.
maybe you should put in the description in the market that no root is required.
and an option to still use the slider when unlocking? that would be my favorite option.
just pressing the track ball brings you to the unlocking screen with the slider.

This is super awesome, thanks for making this!
Curious, what specific activity does the widget call? I would like to be able to shut the screen off using other things (dock swipe up, tasker, custom widget) etc. is it an android acitivity or one that is specific to AnyUnlock?
I tried each of the 4 or 5 activities in AnyUnlock but they didn't work.
Thanks for making this!

Just updated to Gingerbread on N1 and the trackball doesn't wake anymore, but volume button still works.

I can also confirm the trackball doesn't work to wake the screen up, but the volume buttons still do.

Hopefully the trackball wake issue will be resolved for gingerbread.

Yup, I noticed this also with other apps that disable the lockscreen (like Switchpro)
That's too bad.

No Lock too from what another user has stated. There's no way i'm changing from CM7 if there's no possibility of trackball wake!

Does this app just Wake the N1 or does it power ON a device which is powered off ?
I can already wake via the trackball using CM6 , but I need something which will Power it ON as my power button is broken.

I can also confirm trackball doesn't wake screen but the volume key will. Hopefully the dev. can fix this issue.
Thanks for a great app.
PS Will donate when trackball is fixed.

I found a way to do do something like that you want. As i can see you have cm7 so you have the CM settings, I guess. There are 3 lockscreen settings which can do sort of what you want:
1) Go to ->Unlock options and enable Menu unlock & Disable unlock slider
2) Go to ->Delay and timeout and put screen timeout delay and screen turn off delay to max (30min i think).
So your phone after these setting will lock after 30 min of nonuse and will unlock by pressing the menu button without showing any slice to unlock!
Hope I helped...

Got nexus 4. Few questions

I bought my nexus 4 yesterday. I rooted it and now after 2 days using it I have some questions:
1. Is it possibile to personalize the notifications center by adding buttons. I miss so much the silent mode switch button from my galaxy s 2 with android 4.1.2
2. Is it possible to automatically search for contacts from the phone screen typing the letters of the contact we are searching for. In nexus 4 you can search for contacts only by the search screen
3. It seems that the only way to make lock screen appear is by pressing the lock phisic button. Is there an althernative method?
thank you guys

1. Download POWER TOGGLES from play store and you can have Data, Wifi, BT, Screen rotation, Torch, Volume changer to hi-lo etc.
2. Not exactly that but you cn download exDialer and search contact by clicking alphabets which are on numeric keys.
3. I NEVER use power button to turn screen on and off. Rather I use Screen ON & OFF app from play store.
And I am not rooted.

1. Many customs roms allow this. I recommend cyanogenmod or paranoidandroid (link in sig).
2. You can do this from the built in contacts/People app.
3. Touch Control: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.paranoid.touchcontrol

Thank you very much guys. filthykid, I can't find Screen ON & OFF app in the play store. I just found some apps that lock the screen. For unlocking I think is required root and touch control, isn't it?

I'm on CM 10.1 and it has the feature you are looking for.

The touch control features are not ROM related. You will need a compatible kernel. The touch control app offers you a stock kernel with module support to enable the slide2wake features. Or you can flash another custom kernel like francokernel or trinity, they also support touch control. The stock CM10.1 kernel does not support touch control.

can u tell us a app that doesn't use proximity sensor for locking and unlocking phone and DOES NOT require root. In short app that have features like tap to wake,slide to wake but without needing root?

To avoid using power button for screen off (I Hate using power button) there are couple of options.
1. Touch control - But I think requires root and specific kernel
2. Lots of apps which give shortcut on screen to sleep
3. I dont know about stock but some ROM provides go to sleep option in toggle shortcut
4. There are apps (Intellicover, tap tap app, smart screen off, smart cover) which uses proximity sensor to do that. Either Tap or hide etc in option to do that.
Recently I bout flip cover for my N4 and using smart cover app which works great. Wakes up and sleep with cover open and close. I removed lock screen too.

I use the app attached in the SC. It has tap to wake or wave.. BUT that too on proximity sensor. But trust me it works absolutely perfect. Been using it since Jan 2013.

There was one of this name.. I used it initially but it didn't work so I deleted it. Then I started using Screen OFF and Lock (Donate). However you can use its free version Here.
And for waking up the phone without using Power button, I use Smart Screen ON.
Screenshots attached for reference. I am also attaching an extra SC to show Power Toggles.
Hit Thanks, if this helped ppl

Hi guys. I tried the "non rooted" version using Smart Screen ON for waking up and "the rooted" version with Touch Control. I can conclude Touch Control is a way better because Smart Screen ON makes the phone wake up and unlock when it is in the poket. How is you experience?

Never happened with me. I "sometimes" vibrant when i am holding it in my hands and just moving it here and there but that has no effect on my battery. I easily get 4 hours OST. Which i used to get even when the device was new and empty.
