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
I left the camera on for a couple of minutes, took some pictures, and suddenly the screen didn't response to any touch, neither the capacitive buttons. There was a "lock icon" shown on the right top corner of the camera screen. I don't know whether I accidentally pressed something, but I couldn't get it back. Fortunately, the power button still worked, so I could turn the phone off and back on. Everything is fine now. It also happened once on my friends' Epic 4G.
If you hit the power button while the camera is active, it will lock it to prevent accidental screen presses.
Simply press the power button to unlock.

Got it. Thanks a lot.
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.

Read the posts above.
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:

It's not possible, i did some tests and i noticed that the volume buttons work like power button only for a few second after screen off.
I've remapped keys and i've assigned to key 114 (volume down) the value POWER WAKE. It works fine only for a few second...it is as if the system stops feel the volume keys a few seconds after turning off the screen.
I tried on these occasions to join the pin's connector with a screwdriver and the screen is on .... then the power button feels right.
I'd like find a way to hear the system the volume button to hear the system the volume button after a few seconds after turning off the screen
Hi
I just recieved my Op2 and I am really irritated its not allowing me to go to home screen. Left button if to go back and right button list all apps. When I press middle button it does nothing. Only in logout state it act as fingerprint scanner. Is middle buutton pressable?
Not sure how can I reach to home screen. Can some one suggest.
Actually, the fingerprint sensor doubles as a home button.
If touching it doesn't bring you back to homescreen, then I'm afraid your OPT is defective.
Yes. The middle button should double up as a home button but only if you are using hardware keys. If you have enabled the On screen Nav bar then the button will only work as a fingerprint sensor .
