[Q] keypad lock?

Are there any apps available that can lock out the buttons or change which button to wake the phone only.
I know i can lock the screen but when its in my pocket the screens keeps coming on and draining the battery. So maybe something that will lock out the front buttonts and wake only with the volume key.
Ive seen pocket lock and sensor lock but they're old apps and cant find an updated version.
Thanks

Here is a flashable zip file which will disable wake from front facing buttons. Make sure you have wake on volume enabled!!!! Or you will NEVER wake your phone
Install it just like you install any other flashable zip file in CWM

Thanks for that.

Okay, only reason i ask is cause each device/ROM is different so im just curious

Hi, flashed it last night all working perfect. I'm using MIUI-2.3.30 and kernel 2.6.32.15-tytung r14-g6333fda, hope that helps.
Thanks again.

LED still showing despite switched off

My only grouse so far. I have disabled all led notifications but seems is not working. I still get to see the led flashing with emails , messages, n in charging mode
Is this a possible hardware issue
Is there any place I can edit the system files to disable it
Thanks

Is there a chance you have Light Flow installed? Well if you don't try installing it to see if it shuts off. Then uninstall it because Light flow has other issues right now;

Well try activating it to see if it fixes the problem. If hard reset doesn't fix it then it sounds like a possible hardware problem.

Galaxy SIII swipe lock feature?

Hi, I was wondering if there was an app or something that enabled the screen to lock after sliding over the phone sensor? I noticed it on other phones. Thanks!

You mean something like this?:
http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...tically-disable-display-via-proximity-sensor/

Sounds great should check out
P.S. It seems like the screen doesn't get locked if the screen is turned of from this app I mean it wont lock even the screen time out period passes.

Yeah I agree. Is there perhaps an advanced app which locks the screen?

I think this is it:

Sorry about the link I posted earlier. Now that I think about it, this may have been the app that I used (the lite version). Of course, credits to kssood

If u continue searching for these proximity apps u will get many cool apps...u may get one that changes songs with proximity or if u want to turn on your screen with proximity then install smart screen on but it is useless and draws too much battery.
Just for information purpose I post this here.if u have any problem then tell me.I will remove this post.
Remember its not legal to download and use pirated apps.u must support the original developer by buying his app. Do not apply this method unless u are in danger to lose your life .
OK so here it is...
1.Google blackmart and download the appk.
2.install it.
3.u will get the paid apps free here.best pirated appstore after applanet)
I repeat again ...don't use this method unless u are in real emergency .

[Q] Note 4 Tap to Wake

Hi,
I'm considering picking up the new Note 4, but this seemingly trivial feature is something I've grown to love on my Xperia and LG devices. Does the Note 4 have a double tap to wake feature implemented? Thanks!

There isn't any need for double tap to wake on Samsung devices as there is a physical home button.

This is a big one for me. The double tap to wake or close on the LG G3 has become one of my favorite features.
Regardless or not of there is a home button it would be nice to see this.

It does not.

It does not have double tap but it does have an air gesture where you move your hand over the IR sensor and it will wake your phone.

wow that's awesome. from the GSM arena review, they stated that the IR functions were taken out, so no more air gestures. weird.

another example of why its never smart to believe anything you read or see in these phone reviews...dont believe any of it until you see it with your own two eyes..

Try Nova Launcher with Screen of and lock found in the playstore. Enable the app and set as double tap in gesture. Give it a try, might work.

Thats what im using since with my M7 till now the Note 4 (double tap to lock), but this guy here wanna have tap to wake which is opposite. Btw, tap to wake only possible if we can customise the kernel...

it wakes the device, but it doesn't unlock it.
As I remember, on HTC (One M8, I think), you just need to make a gesture on the screen and it wakes up & unlocks the device.
Is it correct?

It should be in Motions And Gestures if it has this function, but it's not there at all...

I have not tried it, but this article seems to suggest "knock on" should be possible on any rooted android phone. As others said, "knock off" is easy enough to set up with Nova.

Have you looked under accessibility? For some reason I remember reading somewhere that that is where the air gesture to wake is located.

This is a bit weird place to place it. It's like a screen where you'd put all the things you're not sure where to put...

proximity sensor on mx4 not working ! help !

when i try to make calls the screen wont turn off and sometimes i won't hear the other person until i press the speaker button , like walkie talkie and it's annoying ..

It's okay it's on way for next release, for now just go to button options and check press power to end call and i'll be okay

go to dark with phone and try again and no objects on sensor

Try running this app. It doesn't show running but you get a super user toast notification to show it has. Run it after boot, seems to work for me
