Is there any way, an app or a mod, to allow for the waking up of the phone from the pressing the trackball or touchscreen?
It's kind of annoying to have to move my hand up to press the sleep/power button to wake it up, and then slide to unlock.

Thats how mine works. It pops up on the screen for me to snooze or sleep w/o having to unlock screen first. But I turn the clock app on, than turn off at the top of the phone.
Cool, I didn't know you could do that. It sucks you have to open the clock app every time but at least it's a start.
Now to have this option without having to turn on the clock app
back when i had the mytouch4g we had a mod/hack that enabled us to remap the "genious" button in to a google search option.
i was wondering if we can remap the volume buttons to wake the xoom up or just simply enable the volume buttons to wake the xoom.

However, you do not get a lock screen anymore.
Wait for custom roms, most have this kind of feature

Yeap.. I use NoLock because I don't feel I needed that lock screen anyways.. hehhe a byproduct of its use is that the volume buttons will also wake the Xoom

You could always turn off the lock screen in settings without this program.

Oh gosh.. haha couldn't do that on my Captivate so honestly didn't even try on my Xoom. thanks. Also seems that turning off the lock screen in settings still makes the volume buttons wake it up.
no lock doesn't always work for me. the volume buttons wake it right when it goes dark, but if it's more than a few minutes, the volume buttons won't wake the xoom.
is there a solution for this. I love my xoom and the power button is the only think i would change. I have it flat on a desk a lot.
Some of you might have noticed a small amount of lag when you press the homekey. I certainly did, especially coming back to Touchwiz form AOSP based ROMs. Well don't worry, theres a easy way to fix it!
The problem is S-Voice. Notice when you double tap your home button S-Voice will open. Thats where the Lag comes from. The Note II is looking for a second press on the homekey. So sadly, if you still use this feature then im afraid your stuck Sorry, but for those that don't your in luck!
Its simple, open S-Voice and go to -
> Menu (For those of you that don't know how to do this, or are maybe a little stupid, press the menu button - left of the homekey. If you still handle it, I recommend returning your device for a calculator)
> Settings
> Un-tick the 'Open via the home key' option
> ...
> WIN.
Please remember to click the thanks button!
Sorry if someone has already made a thread about this. Couldn't see one anyway.
People that use Go Launcher don't use the home key so much.
We use the one thing I love with Go. We just strike the thumb up.

I think this is common knowledge in Samsung phones by now. There's something to note...
There's a side effect to to turning off that option:
If you disable "open via home button", then the phone will kick you to the home screen when you press the home button to turn the screen on (before it gets locked.)
In other words,
Say you're reading something, the screen times out and turns off (but not locked yet), you press the home button to turn the screen on again, you are taken to the home screen.
It's an unfortunate side-effect, but seems unavoidable (save for using a different launcher).
So if you press the home button, you are taken to the home screen?
Who knew!!

Read my post again and try to understand it before you make fun.
Here ill explain again in layman's terms:
*With the open via home button option ticked:
Scenario : when the screen turns off, you press the home button to turn it on, the screen turns on and you're still in the same app where you left off.
*With the open via home button unticked:
Scenario: when the screen turns off, you press the home button to turn it on, the screen turns on and you are kicked from the app you were in back to the home screen.
That's not how it's supposed to work. If the screen turns off, pressing the home button should only turn it on without kicking you back to the home screen.

I see what you mean. I apologise if you thought I was making fun I was not ... Anyway that could be seen as a good and bad thing. The home button is meant to go to ... well home so that does make sense really. It would be nice to have a option for this actually.

Sorry bro, mine doesn't work that way. With the open via home unticked, mine just wakes it up. If I'm in gmail, lock the screen, then hit home to wake it up, I still end up right back in gmail.
All these things are already known guys.
..It does take you to home screen
So you should use the power button to wake up screen. . You will go back to where you were before the screen locked

Thanks for that I'm using Nova and mine goes back to home screen, using power button works but isn't as convenient....at least not for an ex iphone user hehe trying to weigh up whether I prefer power button wake up or no lag!

You still don't get it of course the problem doesn't happen if you lock the screen. It only happens if the screen times out automatically by itself and you wake it up before it goes into lock mode.

Best option for me is to disable the option to get rid of the home button lag, then increase time out to something like 1min,so the screen doesn't time out a lot and the problem gets too annoying.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2
This is great thank you for finding this it was getting really annoying lagging all the time :good:
Holy crap I totally forgot note 2 had that s voice. Lol
Jokes aside in rather content with the lag as long as it didn't bring me to home screen when I wake it up sleep though

Then you'd have to unlock the phone every time the screen times out, which is equally as annoying, more so if you have a pin set up to unlock
I can't believe people still use the home button at all, with apps like "swipe pad" where one action takes you from the screen you are on to the app you want.
Set one pad as your launcher if you need homescreen.
Fill the horrid home button with glue for all i care.

I only use swipe to unlock so i still think it is better than going back to homescreen
I'm facing with a serious bug (or maybe wrong configuration?). I activate the option to quickly launch the camera app by double tapping the home button.
So when im in my lock screen, which normally would requires my finger or pin to enter, when i double tap the home button, it takes me to the camera and I found out that I can simple press Back button and it will take me to the home screen (NOT the lock screen).
I've also noticed that even with camera double tap turn off, I can also double tap the HOME button to get into the phone.
Is there anyone else have this issue?
P/s: I've also tried changing my finger while pressing double tap to make sure, it still bypasses the security. (and no it's not a clone phone, It's straight from AT&T). Stock Firmware
Should I try reflashing the stock?
Mine goes back to the lock screen perfectly

My AT&T S7 Edge goes back to the lock screen after double tap to open the camera.

Dude by the time you double click home button it recognizes ur fingerprint. For checking u can tell someone else (whos fingerprint is not registered ) to double click it would not bypass.

I seriously doubt that this is the problem. I have fingerprint unlock set on my phone and it works properly going back to the lock screen when backing out of the camera.
Unless of course the OP is holding the button for a long time.

I thought I had the issue too. Then I double tapped with a finger I ain't registered to unlock the phone and it stopped. Probably just resting his registered finger too long on the home button
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
