Power ON (button) settings

Currently, I can only power on my phone via the power button, but at some point I had something installed (or tweaked some registry setting or something so that I could also press the green/phone button and that would also wake it up. All the other buttons - except power and phone - were locked out and did nothing (once I powered off). Now I can't recall how in the world I did that. Can anyone help me on this? Pleeease?

On mine, it's a setting under keylock.
Start -> Settings -> System

Yeah, I have that, too, but my options are...
Lock all buttons except Power button
Lock buttons if device is locked
Do not lock buttons
If I choose option 2, any of the HW buttons will wake it up. But I used to have it set so that only the power button OR the phone button would wake it up. The messaging, IE, camera, etc. buttons would not wake it up.
Are you saying that you have the option for just the power and phone buttons? If so, maybe it's an OS issue? I'm running WM6.1...

There is no such option for just the power and phone buttons under keylock. Just the 3 options u saw! Maybe a 3rd party app...

I guess it must have been a 3rd party app, then, or something that applies tweaks, but I've looked in AdvancedConfig and SKTools and I don't see it anywhere.
I know I did it somehow. Just hoping someone will recognize this and know how it's done.

[Q] Re-map the power button to a custom action?

Hi Everyone,
I recently got a Surface Pro. It has one really annoying limitation that seems to belie the whole 'tablet' aspect of the laptop/tablet hybrid theme. Pressing the power button while the computer is awake puts it to sleep rather than simply turning the display off. It doesn't look like Microsoft has included any functionality for simply turning the display off. Unless you wait for it to turn off by itself, you can't use the power button to turn off the display without also putting the computer to sleep. I was able to get around this somewhat by downloading a freeware utility that lets you turn the display off with a custom keystroke (Monitor Off), but I would really like to be able to just turn off the display using the power button instead of having to put it to sleep every time.
One option that Microsoft does include in the power management settings is the option to make the power button do nothing. If I select that option, then nothing happens when I push the power button. My thinking is that combining that option with an app or a hack that re-maps the power button to the keystroke I set in Monitor Off would probably do the trick. Does anyone know of such an app or hack?

Another question is can the Wi-Fi power save mode able to off permanently and no need to always go in to disable it everytime the phone is power up? Thanks hope you people can help me out.

[Q] Screen off without locking device

Hi,
I want to know about any app or widget that just put screen to off, without locking the device. Same function like when I press the power button.
For example lock automatically device time is 5 minutes after screen automatically turns off. So if I press power button, it simply turn off the screen, if within 5 minutes pressing home button or power button again, it brings device on. (do not ask to unlock device pattern or pin)
So far I have checked almost all apps / widgets that on press, lock the device as well.
I am not looking for apps which are using any proximity or any other sensor. I am using galaxy s4
I already have checked other related questions in this xda developer, but could not find the answer to it exactly.
Thanks

Interested as well!

This one maybe: HERE. Try other thing too: Put the lockscreen off manually (Apps - Settings - My device - Lock Screen - Screen Lock - None)

[Q] How to disable Home button with Lollipop

Hi,
I'm looking for a solution to stop the phone from turning on the screen when the home button is pressed?
Many time I take it in my pocket I'm hitting that button and the screen is turning on.
I'd prefer that it only turn on when I click the power button.
I think I have to go in : "/system/usr/keylayout", but after I don't know what to do.
Any help or suggestions?
