I'm running DCD 3.0.1 rom, is this normal that my phone will wake up from standby whenever I push any button on it like a call or anything button? I don't really like that cause I'm always hitting keys and changing stuff while my phone is in my pocket and I rather just have it be the power button on the side like it used to work...is there a simple fix for this?

Hit Start, Settings then System Tab. Click Key Lock and make sure "Lock all buttons expect Power button" is selected.
start-settings-system-keylock-
choose "lock all buttons except power button."
thank you both! that fixed it, funny i never opened that settings option to look what was in there, i always thought that had to do with the stock sprint lock feature that i never used

Hello, I remember seeing a long time ago somewhere in the control panel where you can set an option that only lets the power button wake up the device. If you press any of the other buttons while the device is sleeping it wont wake up. That is the default setting, so I never have to mess with it. Over the years I have forgotten where that setting is. I am now running DCD 3.0.0. I decided to give SPB Pocket Plus a try recently. One of the features it has is that it extends your buttons and gives you press and hold options for the buttons. I have now started noticing that if my device is sleeping ANY button will wake it up. I cannot find the "lock all buttons except for power button" option in the control panel either. Is it gone from the ROM? Or did SPB PP delete this option? Where should the "lock all buttons except for power button" be?? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
*EDIT*
Never mind. Found it. I feel very stupid. As soon as I posted this thread I take a look in the DCD 3.0.0 thread and someone was asking the same thing.
Settings->System->Key Lock
Can't believe I missed that. Please lock this thread.
Ha, I did the same damn thing. I think I was the first to ask that question. It was just weird because it was never an issue in the earlier roms. I felt pretty stupid too.
Is it not here?
Start menu --> Settings --> System --> Key Lock
No, its missing!
Got the same problem at a new Prophet ROM, is there any chance of getting the Keylock page back up?
Zotho,
You could buy the $8 AE Button Plus and program the buttons to your heart's content.
Ok, so loving my HTC S740 after changing from Qtek 8500. I know to initiate keylock you have to hold down the End Key for 2 seconds, but I am used to just closing my Qtek 8500 after a call to lock it. I also know you can activate auto keylock, but I need to keep my keys open sometimes. I would like to be able to just short press the Camera button to Keylock the phone. I have got as far as remapping the Camera button by changing the shortcut Short_Camera.lnk. Tried it by renaming Internet Explorer shorcut and it works! So far so good. But what shortcut to use or how to setup a shortcut for keyLock to remap to Short_Camera.lnk.
I know this sounds really petty, but can't wait and hold the End Key for 2 seconds every time!
Any help appreciated.
I don't know if it's possible by clean way without installing anything, but I have done this by assigning one harware button to 'turn off display' in AE Button Plus (which also locks keypad)
btw, I really like behaviour of some touchscreen htc devices where is device switched to standby by upper hardware button, and no other button can wake up device. It would be great to set up my S740 this way - anyone know if it is possilbe somehow?
Hello together
I have a little problem with my HD2. I have the Goatrip 6 ROM installed with Cookie´s Home Tab 2.0 and S2U2 2.43. The problem is that S2U2 don´t lock the long press end key.
There is a not choosable option in S2U2 2.43. "Don´t lock long press end key"
I need a program who locks the long press end key similar with the lockscreen. Do anybody know a program? Thanks for your help.
I don't think it is possible.
The normal/official rom lock (with the slider or hd mini version) doesn't lock it either.
It's probably something to do with that key being the power key, that it will have priority over everything else to allow you to power off. All keys are able turn the screen on, but long press send key doesn't work while locked, maybe because it's a hack and not standard.

I think u could remove it by closing Endkey.exe.... But u cannot block it just for S2U2...
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! ;-)
Using: [ROM][RC3][24.07.2011] Gingerbread 2.3.3 with HTC Sense 2.1
I haven't been able to figure out a way to remap the physical power button. There was an xposed module that worked great long ago, but hasn't been updated to work with oreo. I want to be able to press/long press/double tap/whatever the power key to take me to the home screen. I've used the fingerprint sensor apps, but they're hit or miss at different times, which is more frustrating than not having it. The other button mapper programs seem to work for volume keys only. Rooted/Running LOS ROM
Remapping the power button seems like such a bad idea to me. What happens if you need to reboot?

Why? What does your "home" button do? On my Nova launcher, home button takes me immediately to home screen and much easier/faster than trying to double tap fingerprint sensor, which currently turns off/on display.
Or long tapping, which currently gives you reboot options.
Remapping power button seems like an answer in search of a problem, which would cause more problems?

Home button takes me to home screen as well, which is usually where I want to go. If I'm holding the phone it's much easier to press a physical button to get back. I rarely reboot, so could do away with that. On my G3, I had all the buttons on the back mapped to pull up assistant, go back, go to home screen using single/double/short/long taps. It was MUCH faster to do that. Anyway, I like it, it existed before, I want to know if I can get it back.

So found a program called "powy". It can intercept the power button keypress and then trigger tasker. It can't distinguish long v. short press, but you can program power button to trigger by pressing 1x/2x/3x/etc. Not as good as xposed additions (which hasn't been updated since MM), but functional and better than nothing.
