Volume rocker wake works as long as the screen has been powered down recently, but after a few minutes the device won't turn unless you hit the power button.
I know that the power button is right besides it, but it's just something that I've grown accustomed to doing on my phone and see no good reason other than a bug in the nightlies as to why its not working. Does anyone have any insight as to why? Does this happen in PA and AOKP as well?
Edit: nevermind, resolved after installing the latest nightly.

So I think there might be something wrong with the power button, when it does work it has a 5 second lag between pressing it and when the lock screen pops up. However, there have been several times where I'm going to bring it out of sleep mode and it doesn't wake up - so I press and hold the power button for a few seconds and nothing. When I press it again it vibrates and boots up normally. So what I think is happening is I'm actually turning it off, thinking that it's having issues with the SOD, and then turning it back on again. But no matter how many times I just simply press the power button it still won't bring up the lock screen out of sleep. So is there some way I can turn it on via the volume rocker?
Thanks in advanced.

That is the sleep of death. No on the volume without special programming.
Well, the only thing that made me think it was otherwise was the battery stats - it shows that the tablet has been awake the whole time it's been in SOD...

That is what I have found, it is still running. That is why you have to monkey with the power button, the first long press shuts it off even tho it looks to be off. After it is shut down, then it will turn back on. Their are some ics roms that this is fixed in. I used to have the sod, but the rom I am using don't have that problem and I have had that problem with all roms, sept ics.
Hello,
I have this strange problem. When i lock my phone, I put in in my pocket. There i accidentally push volume rocker a few times and when i unlock the phone it lags for about 7-10 seconds then does few vibrations (like it wants to make up for the volume rocker presses) and then everything works fine. It is not a mojor bug but it really annoys me, because the phone lags when you need it the most.
I also tried it in non pocket to confirm that it's true bug and it was true. A couple presses of volume buttons (when phone is locked) is enough to start those lags.

i don't use the wolume rocker wake, but every setting that includes haptic feedback is set on.

I had this too with an old MIUI ROM but no one knew what caused it...

Just got the N7 for the wife to test out, she notices when the screen is off for a while in sleep mode, and she hits the power button to wake it up it does not wake up right away, she sometimes has to do it 2 or 3 times, or it won't wake at all and then she has to hold the power button down, then when it wakes up, she has to back out to get out of powering down. Is this normal.
So since I have not a FR because I thought it might be the recent update to 4.1.1 that created this issue or a rogue app that I installed. now the power button won't do a thing, the only way to wake the unit up, is to plug in the charger, any suggestions before I take it back to the store today. TIA
I hate making a new thread -- but I haven't been able to get the volume rocker to wake the device.
After looking at various other volume wake mods, I looked and worked with /system/usr/keylayout/keypad_8064.kl but haven't been able to get it to work.
Here's it's contents in case anyone else can figure it out:
Code:
key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE
key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE
I've tried removing the word WAKE, but that doesn't do anything. Either the key definitions are wrong so WAKE doesn't fire, or that file is ignored altogether.
Anyone have any ideas?
I'm also looking for a solution to this. Appreciated if anyone can help.
Also interested...
The TPU case I use makes the power button pretty stiff, but the volume ones are just fine. This would be very helpful.
Has anybody came up with a volume rocker mod to wake the screen for the Nexus 4?
Most custom roms have this feature to be activated in their settings.
AOKP as well as CyanogenMod.
I'm using xylon which is based off of both cm10 and aokp and it offers this option and it works great.

So I am using paranoid android the latest stable before 2.99 and cannot wake my screen using the Volume Rocker
I have it set to on. and it maybe works within the first 3s after a screen is off but any longer and it wont wake the screen.
I have toggled it off, rebooted; toggeld back on, rebooted. But no luck.
If anyone knows any fixes to this or any tips that would be awesome, thanks.
:what:
Just use the button right next to the volume key. Really its not any different. Works just like the volume buttons. Just apply sufficient pressure as to cause the surface of the key to become flush with the side of the device and you're good to go.
