Guys wanna ask something..
Pressing the power button turns of the display, will pressing the other buttons (Call, home, Back, windows) bring the screen beack on?
I just realized mine is like this.
Can i lock the other buttons so that only the power button brings the screen back on.
Any registry tweaks for this.
Thx.
+1 from me.
I swear I thought only pressing the power button brought the lock screen up. Now ANY button brings the device out of standby.
lol i just realized that just now
Hello all,
I have a question regarding the Samsung Omnia 7's home button and its responsiveness. I've heard some say that it's not very responsive, and that it takes a few presses for for the device to respond. Is this true? How responsive is the home button?
I've been using it for 2 weeks now and have no problems with the home button
Sometimes I have this issue. Thinking about sending it back for repair if the problem persists/gets worse. Curious fact: If you press hard at the bottom of the device, while pushing the windows-button - it won't react at all.
Make sure that you are not covering the light and proximity sensor..
You can experiment it by placing your hand on top of the phone and press the home button.. You will notice that the screen doesn't turn on!
That was it. Covering the light sensors at the top right disables the home-button. Very understandable given that you don't want it to turn on in your pocket.

But isn't that the point of having a lockscreen? what are the chances of pushing the home button, and sliding up the lockscreen in your pocket?
The power button wakes it up even if the sensors are covered, so it seems having this feature on the home button is an unnecessary annoyance.
For what it's worth...I don't want to have an empty battery just because something in my pocket pressed the home button and the screen lit up.
This feature is good -why should I press the home button when the proximity sensor is being covered?
Sometimes the home button is not responding at all. Only a reboot helps. Anyone with similar problems and a solution? Or is this a wp7-bug.

It's not a bug. The home button will not react if the LIGHT SENSOR is covered. It's designed that way, so if the button is pressed in your pocket your phone won't turn on and waste battery.
Try in a well lit area and do not cover the sensor at the top of the phone. The home button will work exactly the same as the lock button then.
If the sensor is covered, the home button won't react. If it's not, then the home button will.
End of story, moving on...

So in theory, if you are in a pitch black room, your home button will not turn on the screen? Don't think so.
........It's not the light sensor, it's the proximity sensor.

Sorry but that is simply not true (so not end of story....) I actually just tried to lay down my phone on a table and then cover the whole top of the phone with my hand (also tried with a piece of thick paper) so the sensor is covered. Then I tried to press the Home button, well it still works on my Omnia 7. I always return to the homescreen or my turned off screen will turn on - even with the sensor in the top covered completely - but what I cant is to scroll in the tiles or anything on the screen (sometimes), seems the sensor disables all my touch on the screen, but not the hardwarebutton Home in the middle - if you dont believe it, I could create a video of it.....
EDIT HERES A VIDEO:

I've had such a problem ... the home button not responding ...
also in conversation I could not hang up call, just a black screen would remain. Only remove the battery worked. when I got the jig, I put the new software and have no further problems
I find power button is extensively used during EVO operation. Each time I want to check the the screen, or after making a call, I have a press that small tiny little power button to light up the screen. I am not sure whether this button is the weakest part of EVO.
Are there any tricks to save the use of this button?

No crack here so looks like they fixed it.
For tricks. Get an app that will turn the screen off. Change the setting to keep the screen on longer so if you are reading something it won't turn off. Have someone call you so the screen turns on and you don't have to use the power button.
Might be a way to use the volume rocker to turn the screen on. Have not looked into that since I am not concerned about my power key not working.
Aosp roms have configurations that allow you to turn the screen on and off without using the power button. Plus theirs an app in the market called screen locker that allows you to shut the screen with the "search" soft key

When the screen is displaying the static looking screen, cover the camera and proximity sensor, then hit the power button. Once both the main screen AND second screen are turned off, remove your finger form the sensor and then hit the power button to turn it back on.
As far as getting into TWRP....pull the battery/power off the device. Hold the volume down button, then hold power button until you see the LG Screen. As soon as the comes up, release the power button while still holding volume down, then press the power button back in.
Thank you so much!!!It worked!Thanks!!
Hello G6 owners, I have a question about the fingerprint sensor/power button. Is this a physical button that you press in, compared to the fingerprint sensors on the Pixel phones? If so, do you have to physically press it at the same time you scan your fingerprint in order to turn your phone on? Or can you set it to just turn the phone on with a touch? Also, if this is indeed a physical button, does pressing it while the screen is on turn the screen off? And finally one more question: how hard do you have to press? It seems like it would be awkward physically pressing a button in that position...
The V30 looks pretty awesome and I'm assuming it is the same as the G6 in regards to the sensor/button.
Thanks!
When you want turn off the screen or shutdown the phone you need to click ( simple click like all buttons ) and for wakeup or open your phone you need just a simple touch on the button for scanning your fingerprint ..
You can also use the double click on the screen for turning off the screen or double click + password/knockcode/pin... For wakeup the phone
