Hi.
I'm so used to having a power button either on the front or on the side of the phone I think I'd struggle to get used to it where it is on the one. Does anyone know if it's possible to wake the phone using the volume rocker would make life so much easier.

Yep its possible with root access.

good point...I hate designs with on/off/wake button placed on top furthermore on top left side. I loved my SGS3 with precisely placed wake button. Additionaly the volume rockers are flat and in one plane with the phone body so there wont be any accidental on/wakes should be really great to wake with them...

Thru modding keychars or keylayout. Sorry forgot but you just need to add a word there to the designated key number.

Is there a way like on s3 to ger volume to silent by pressing volume keys? It only gets me to vibrate then have to turn vibrate off on menu

This feature was present in the original note but it seems it's been removed in the note 2. An alternative way which you may be interested in is simply by holding the power button and selecting mute.
Hope that helps.
Cheers for that. Its a real shame thats been taken away.

Indeed it was useful when on the go, muting the phone within your pocket without having to look at it. I'm sure some application out there could reinstate this.
Yeah I miss that feature as well, too bad it got removed

Aww it doesn't have this? wth are they thinking... where do you turn off the vibrate? all the way in settings? or in the pull-down notification menu? Thanks.

I'm not sure if this is a repost but I have found buy swiping your finger up or down on the either sides of the screen, you can zoom in and out in the internet.
Pretty good feature. :good:

Thx for hint my friend but it is a very well known feature in android since early stages
It is the most annoying feature, how do I turn it off?

I have also discovered a useful feature: long-pressing that button on the right-hand side of the phone will power on/off your Note.

I have a backlight problem with my HTC EVO Shift. The backlight has stopped working consistently. I believe it has something to do with the cable in between the slider part. When my phone is completely shut, the backlight is not working. When my phone is completely open (keyboard exposed) the backlight is not working. when my phone is in the halfway position (keyboard partly exposed) the backlight illuminates the screen and I am able to use the phone. It is very difficult to continue to use the mobile device in the halfway point. I have another mobile device on the way but I will need to see the screen in order to get the rest of my data off, or at least make a nandroid backup and go from there.
If it is not the cable then can someone point me in the right direction. If it is the cable/screen could someone tell me where to get a replacement. I am capable of doing repairs. I would rather not if it is avoidable.
thank you xda community.
Re: Backlight Screen Problem
Main flex cable could be your issue. Grab the part from eBay

Re: Backlight Screen Problem
I have one on the way. Thank you. Funny thing. When i took it apart the cable itself looked okay. I guess there may be damage within i cannot see. I do use the keyboard ALOT.
Thanks again

If you're using the xda app, just add "solved" in the subject line. You may need to scroll up to see it...

If you edit your first post, the best way is to just add "[SOLVED]" to the beginning of your thread title
To give thanks, from the app either tap on the persons post and then hit the thanks popup, or on the computer theres a Thanks button under their name
Is there a way or an app that can disable the power button so it doesn't wake up the phone?

Yes I was thinking of just using the home button. And as for just not pressing it, that also works but I'm always pressing the button by accident since its so sensitive. But thanks for the advice
I have read you are able to disable the home button. I was just wondering if you could do the same with the power button.

With the power button I don't think so. I wouldn't even want to disable my power button never know what could happen

I agree. The volume and power buttons are very sensitive. I've had an Otterbox Defender case on since I bought the phone and never had a problem since the case makes those two buttons difficult to press. But I used the phone naked last weekend and I kept hitting those two buttons, especially when I was in landscape mode. Real PITA. Plus holding the phone was akin to holding a wet bar of soap. Needless to say, I put it back in the case.
In any event, if you disable the power button, what if the phone locks up or shuts down by mistake...how will you power it back on? Doesn't sound like a good idea to me.
You may want to consider looking for a slim case that covers the buttons, thus making them less sensitive to inadvertent activation.
i love the nexus 4, the only thing that drives me mad is the power button on the side.
I'm always finding the screen on and unlocked when pulling the phone out my pocket
has anyone found any apps or any tips how to stop this??

It never happened to me, I guess something is wrong with your power button.
