Hi, just like the topic say... I hold the phone with my right hand and it's really weird the stand-by button on the upper left part of the chassis -.-, I want to use the phone with just one hand not two. So i'm asking if there are a settings for wake up the phone with volume hardware button.

I'm afraid at the moment NONE.
There might be some MOD in the future, but surely will require "root" for that.
Can with other Locker
FYI, with GO Locker, you can set to unlock the lock screen with volume button.
P.S.:I only installed GO Locker before but no other Locker.
Hardware button savior has it.
Install widget locker and then go into the options you will find what you are looking for.
It's compatible with stock launcher and doesnt require root.
Thanks to all, is exactly what I need to know... I'm not yet with this phone xD

I can confirm this, volume and camera buttons will make the screen wakeup!
I got the widgetlocker app, and found the option to activate using hardware buttons, but can anyone tell me how to use the stock lock screen in stead of the widgetlocker one?

I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a app to change the button that powers up the phone out of sleep.
Normally you press the power button and then unlock drag with your finger.
I would love to see it changed to the optical button press, as it's the only feature of the iphone i like
maybe you can use Screen Mode Widget ,change it's state to 'Awake Stay',then the device will not screen lock but will dim(press any button will awake the screen).Try it

Slide function doesnt seem to work.
I usually press the optical button or home button the im able to slide the screen to unlock, do not think this is implemented coz then the display will turn on and off if you fx has it a pocket.
If you press any button does the screen come to life? I mean are you able to unlock device? if so then it works

I've also used LockBot Free cuz I don't really like the HTC lock screen. How ever I stop using it because it wakes my phone with any button I press and I tense to hit the volume rocker all the time. but it is a good alternative.
Anybody tried this method from desire topic? (root needed)

Hey guys does anyone know if there is a possibility to use one of the Volume Rockers as a Camera Button?
The other threads in the Droid forums didn't bring anything up but maybe you know a way?
I don't really like soft keys to use the camera because you will always screw up the pictures.
Also it would be possible to shoot pictures under water with such a key.
The touchscreen doesnt work in water
thanx
Try this app : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850464
thanx for the quick answer
Been looking for the exact same thing. Thanx a lot for the link, will try it asap.
:=)
can someone just tell if it worked?
would be great :=) thanks :=)
yes it works, set the button to none in remapper or the camera can launch while screen off. then you don't have a volume up button, so I use tasker to create a widget to put all the volumes to high.
use last VIGNETTE apk, it use camera button from volume! great!

u mean the app from the market which costs money? sry.. don't want to invest for basic functions :=)))
but.. i'm not quite sure how to configure the camera button.. will play around when i got time.. if anyone has the knowledge and the time to post the procedure for the above tool :=) would be great...
my problem: from the screenshots and the description.. i'm not quite sure how to define that the volume button actually gets used as "touch-screen-action"? :=/
greets...
How would anything get done if we all needed blow by blow instructions.
Read the post, install the APK, it's an app not a string of ADB commands.
Scroll down to volume up button, select it, tell it to be a camera button in the drop down, apply. If you don't want the reverse option on the note bar then configure app.
BTW the search button won't configure withthis app.

Very nice instructions my man and just so everyone else knows there is actually an app in the market for this just search defy you'll see it it saves the photos to your sd it works

Good! Though I find the vol rocker too hard to press for taking photo
When I first got it, the volume button would wake up the phone. A few days later it stopped doing it. Maybe I changed some settings but I've been looking thru them all and can't find it.
Was this a bug? I know most people need apps to be able to do that from what I read.
It was so much nicer than pressing the power button. *sigh*
I like waking up the phone with the volume buttons as well. I use a program known as widgetsoid 2.x, you can download it from the market, that lets you unlock the screen - meaning that you can wake the phone with the power button or volume rockers and won't need to slide to unlock it either.
WidgetLocker allows you to wake up the screen, and thus unlock the phone, from the volume keys as well.
DK
So you can't do it without an app?
Must have been just a tease. lol
I was hoping there was something simple in the settings somewhere.
Download No Lock, it allows you to use the volume rocker + power button to wake up the phone and gets rid of the lock screen for those of us that don't like it.
I use NoLock as well. Occasional Opera Mobile errors when waking the phone up, but overall NoLock works well...
Thanks, tried no lock. Works pretty well. Few times it still locked but I can live with that.
Thanks, No Lock was much better than widget locker that i've been using. The slider in widget locker is so slow/laggy.
You can also download "lock screen" to be able to lock screen by touching an icon instead of the horrible power button.

Atrix Wake Up On Volume Down Button
If you are using a custom ROM with cyanogen mod go on settings-cyanogen settings- input- and tick volume rocker wave.
this will allow you to wake your Atrix without using the annoying power button.
If this helps please press thanks.

Hi! Is there any way to make a different button than the Powerbutton, turn the screen on? It's uncomfortable to always press the Powerbutton to activate the Lockscreen.
Thank you!

if you are on cyanogenmod or blayo's rom, trackball for screen on is already activated
i use "widgetlocker" you can find it on the market, and there is an option to use the volume keys also for screen on
widgetlocker is a paid app, but it allows allot of customization for your lockscreen
how to use the home key idk
hope this helps a bit
thanks - I'll give it a try! ;-)

Hi,
How to activate the "Home button" to turn on the phone?
With my Xperia Arc, I can turn on the phone with the "Home button".
With my Xperia S, it's impossible to turn on the phone with the "Home button"
I must use the power button on top, this is much less practical...
One idea ?
Very Thanks alot

There is NO way to activate it because it is not a physical home button. The home button will be functional when the O.S is loaded. On the other hand The Xperia Arc has a physical button to trigger the power on/off switch on the circuit board.
It's much better this way. Before I had problems with my X10 turning on in my pocket because of the home button being accidentally pushed.

Is most agree. I miss my home button wake up too.
Can it realy be true that it can't be software programmed to wake up on home button. Someone create a app that can do it. Or swipe all 3 buttons from left to right could be cool feature to wake it up. Why didn't do that.

I can't recommend wiget locker high enough for using the volume buttons or camera button for waking the phone - works perfectly.

Not necessarily true. The Nexus S home buttons were capacitive just like the Xperia but CM9 had an option to wake the device on with them.
It may well be just as possible on the Xperia, just needs someone to make it work like the CyanogenMod team did with the Nexus S
Wouldn't that be an additional drain on the battery to keep those buttons active during standby? Wake by volume keys would be far more useful, and do-able.

Power button - camera button - volume buttons... meh... it's still not the same as home button
It's more natural to press home button and then unlock the phone...

I like using volume button because I can wake the phone up by one hand. With my small hand now press the power button by one hand is not comfortable.
Double click on volume button would be good too.
Can you try using another launcher ro check if volume buttons are responding when screen is locked...
