Device turns not on when opening the Lid...

I dont know why, but my device does not turn "on" when I open or turn the lid/display? I have to press a key. Is it the same with your devices?
Yes this is the same with all universals. Gotta press the power button.
Not very smart... :?
Yeah. Some of the other buttons will take it out of standby/off, like the calender/contact button if you are on the today screen and the backlit button. I guess it's like powering on a laptop Gotta press a button.
i hope that they'll add this funktion very soon. in 99 percent of the cases you need an activated device when opening the lid.
Well, it "sort of" works. If you turn off the device with the power button, then close the lid, it won't turn on when you open the lid, you have to press the power button. Fair enough. But if you close the lid while its still on, you can see that as the lid is closing, it will turn off. Then, open it up again, it will turn back on. But only if you open it in a certain time period after closing the lid. Beyond that time period, it won't turn back on when you open the lid.
I don't know this for sure, but I think it looks at your power management settings. For instance, if you have the auto power off set to five minutes, then if you open the lid within five minutes of closing it, it will turn on. After five minutes, it won't turn on. Which is definitely a bug I would think.
when you close the jasjar without pressing the power button you are only turning off the screen
The normal standby mode (closing does not switch off and screen is activated by opening) is OK with me.
But the lid should also work like the camera button, wich turns the device on when its off. There should be no physical and logical limitations.

You guys are lucky.... Least your system is not getting active while u turn the lid back.. I have my device with password protect, most of the time when I try to reactivate my system by pressing PowerButton, it give Blank Password Screen, where you cant use it unless Soft Reset... Seems like its a bug in universal.

screen doesn't turn on by screen tap?

Hi All,
My Wizard is set to turn the screen off after a minute of inactivity.
To get it back on, I have to press the power button.
I've checked in backlight and power settings and have it set to allow a screen tap to turn the backlight on, but it's not working - well, if the backlight's off but the screen's on it works ok, but I want a tap to turn the screen and the backlight on together. At the moment I have to press the power button, which upsets Pocket Player MP3 playback...or I can press a hardware button, but again, this tends to interrupt playback of music as all the buttons are mapped to something.
Seems a simple request, am I missing anything? This is under the Mr Clean ROM, if it makes a difference.

Once the screen goes off, the phone is "sleeping". The only way I know of to turn it on at this point is to tap the power button. To do what you want would be turn turn off the screen going into sleep mode, but that will come at the expense of your battery life. Start>Settings>Power>Advanced then uncheck the Turn off device under On Battery Power.
device lock(s)
A halfway solution, you could turn the screen off using the device lock app, which includes screen off. Then when you press the power button it only effects the screen and not anything which is running. The second one is very good for listening to music with, assuming you volume control button isn't broken like mine

Looking for app to swipe screen off?

Looking for something that will allow me to swipe my finger to shut the screen off. Any ideas
thanks
If you hit the power button on top of the phone that does it IIRC (obviously don't hold the button otherwise you turn it off!)
I use S2U2 and this is how I lock the phone

display wake up

Hi all,
i sometimes notice this problem on my omnia 7..
when the screen is turned off and i press the middle button the screen is not turning on.. i have to press it again or press the power button.. anyone experienced this problem?? any idea what can it caused?? I do not have any apps installed..
Thanks..
I have the same, sometimes the middle windows button will not wake the phone up.
When the middle button refuses to wake up the phone the camera button also refuses to wake up the phone and go straight to the camera app. I need to press the power button and then the camera button.
Annoying.
Do you guys know the term "it is a feature" when something in reality is a flaw - well in this case it really is a feature
If the sensors notice that the phone is in a complete dark surrounding it assumes the phone is in a pocket. Therefore it not wakes your screen up and also the camera button will not work. You can test this if you hold your thumb over the sensors next to the speaker strip.
Should your camerabutton not function in a bright setting, it is of course a different situation.
What an easy and clever answer..
Thank you very much.. next time i will think more.. OMNIA 7 rulezzz
Aaaah clever stuff!
Superb thanks

Black screen during phone call with speaker on

Guys I have a question... when I talk on the phone (with speakers on so I leave it on the table), the screen goes black... the problem is that every time I want to turn the screen back on I actually have to use the power button... the home button doesnt work, it's blacked (even if i have set always on display to be active all the time).
Is there a way to turn the screen back on without pressing the power button? Or have the home button active even if the screen goes black during a phone call? thank you!
Anyone?
Home button should be active at all times, you may need to press hard, blindly in the right place but it should work at least it works on mine, no problem.
You sure? Your home button works even when you talk with speakers on and the screen turns black?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Of course it works. Maybe it has some time out function, when it disables home button after certain time, I don't know since I never talk more than few min, but when screen goes blank, couple min later I press home button and it goes straight to talk screen bypassing lock. But I have location/BT set as secure, so it never locks up when I'm home, at work or in a car and have not test it much outside of those places. So if I had to make wild guess it's one of 3: 1. it has some time out 2. something with security lock 3. you're not pressing hard enough or wrong place, you really have to press hard, like you want bend screen a little.
My S6 did this also.
Some help?....
@tharghan
Same problem...
If anyone has a solution for this problem of black screen on speaker calls!?
