My Standby button doesn't work anymore - Sharp Aquos Crystal

So out of no where my phones standby button stopped working for me and the only way to use my phone is to plug it into a charger or call It. I can't really but a new phone yet because all of my money lately have been going to bills. I was wondering Is there anything I can do to fix it. Thanks for any replies

Alternative way to turn on / wake screen (capacitive buttons / accelerometer)

Hi guys,
Got my Desire HD last Friday and I'm really pleased with it, stunning device. The problem is, I'm using a case which protects the phone nicely and looks decent too but the power button is very tough to press in (let alone without a case TBH). I have Cyangens "Menu Unlock" enabled but I'm wondering if there is a tweak or APK to enable the capacitive buttons when the screen is off so I can turn it on easily (using Button Remapper). Maybe even a shake to enable app to wake the phone. Oh, cover below:
When I had the Galaxy S, I could just wake the screen with the main physical Home button.
When I had the Milestone, there was an APK to allow me to wake the screen with the buttons.
Any help or direction would really be appreciated. Would love to be able to unlock it that easily.
Cheers #auggie2k
Just a quick bump

Buttons will be disabled when phone is asleep. The closest is to try "Tap Tap App" from the Market. Its free. Try and see how it could give you possibilities. Basically, it will allow you to set lock/wake permissions using the proximity sensor.
I use it as an alternative to pressing the power button all the time during shorter phone sleep/wake intervals
Much appreciated Jacob, cheers for the quick reply.
You can try WidgetLocker too, allow you to power up the phone using volume button.

Its possible without much battery drain I remember using Pocketshield with the HD2 where it unlocks when you flip the phone facedown and up or shake from side to side. Seems they're still hung up on Windows till now... I hope they come around to turn to Android soon

You're welcome mate! Test the proximity settings, I used to use "Easy Detection" but found it too sensitive, it unlocks with short finger waves which was cool but also gets screwed up with strong winds when outdoors... lol
Since, I've changed the setting to "safe mode (default)" and it responds well to 2 mild taps. Hope it works for you too!

try no lock, unlocks it with the volume buttons.

isnt this the same as widget locker, i.e. it works only on stock kernel
Just installed "Tap Tap App", works perfect for me as an alternative unlock/lock. Thanks a lot!

Those settings work perfectly for me too, it makes the phone seem so much more "fancy" and has already spooked my poor iPhone owning friend, lots of WTF's Cheers for the suggestion.

Home Button wake disable?

Is there any way to prevent the home button from walking up the Note 7 without root?
I have major pocket press issues especially using Smart Lock. Pocket dials, changed settings and battery drain are a few.
I made sure the wave to wake function is off.
I would root if it were not for loosing Samsung Pay.
I had a wallet case on my last Note and it really got in the way taking pictures. I don't really want to go back there.
Thanks
Did you turn on 'Keep screen turned off' setting under Display setting?

Yes, I just confirmed that. I thought that would keep it off. There must be something else coming into play. Maybe my pocket is not dark enough?
I've been paying close attention to how much I wake the phone with the Home button and it would cause pain to lose it. But the being on in my pocket is worse.

Or you could always not put it in the pocket or wear looser jeans haha
Have you tried the phone facing the butt and away? Just a thought.
And have you checked to see its not the power button than the home button?
Also, set up a lockscreen, like a pin, Iris, or Fingerprint.
That would def help from it being unlocked at the least.

Calling screen keeps sleeping

I'm currently running cm14 on my phone.
Whenever I call someone or when someone calls me I'm able to pick the call up but I'm unable to cut the call as my screen does not wake up.
I know this problem is due to the proximity sensor, I Googled many articles and used many apps but this problem doesn't stop, I even tried some methods given on XDA threads but it's not solved.
If anyone has any type of solution to this problem PLEASE HELP
THANKS
Go to Setting ->Buttons -> Power Button -> Turn on End Call
Maybe this help you end call when screen is sleep

display won't stay off

I have a s7 att with all latest firmware and updates. When I'm in a call using bluetooth and I press the power button to turn the display off so I can slide it into my pocket. The display goes black then wakes again after about 3 seconds. Tried a factory reset, reboots and general troubleshooting. Even smart stay and proximity sensor. Even changed my case in case something was triggering it...
Any assistance?

The only work around I have found is to hit the home button, or leave the call app in any way, then lock the screen.
This is SUPER annoying!!!

One other thing that has helped was to turn on Keep Screen Turned Off under Settings>Display...
This bug still sucks and needs to be fixed though

Nokia 6.1 Plus Screen turning on when phone is put in vertical position

A few months ago after one of the automatic updates, the phone started doing this. I don't use the lock screen, so the phone goes straight into the main menu so if the phone is in my pocket it will open programs, butt-dial people etc etc. I've noticed it happens when you bring the phone up to your face, but it also happens in many other situations.
I've looked all through settings and I can't find this feature so I can turn it off. Anyone else had this problem?
Check if on-body detection in settings>security>smart lock and Lift to check phone gesture were automatically turned on and turn it off.

So you do not have any kind of lock on your phone and your screen lock is set to none?

Smart lock is greyed out, it says "To use, first set a screen lock"

So it might have happened that your power key is pressed accidentally while the phone is in your pocket and apps are launched so I'd recommend you to atleast turn on swipe for unlock to avoid accidental unlocks.

I can confirm that's not the case, I just have to put the phone in a vertical position and the screen will turn on, with no input on the power button. For example when I'm cleaning the screen with windex it's almost impossible, I keep turning the screen off and it keeps turning on immediately with the motion of the phone. If there's any motion on the phone, the screen will almost 100% of the times turn itself on.

Brilliant, that fixed it, thanks so much! If it was a feature that was a pretty bad one, it made it really hard to live with the phone, it kept turning on in all sorts of situations. Thanks again! :good:

Well the feature is intended to quickly check the time and some other notification from apps but features can sometimes be annoying than useful! I personally turned it off to save battery.
