Hi everybody,
OK, here's a simple question.
On the new power control widget, there's a button that does something, but i cannot figure out what it is supposed to do. What does the 4th button do? The first is wifi, then bluetooth, then gps, followed by the mistery button and finaly a brightness button.
What's that mistery button? The one with the twisty arrows.
Cheers!

i believe it lets you turn of sync of accounts
Well, yes! You are absolutely right. It kinda helps to have some accounts setup. :*)

Hi, my girlfriend just got this phone, and her being a girl she is not wanting me to root the phone cause she thinks its bad... lol. But she wants to be able to use the volume rocker to wake up the phone. I think it is a huge design flaw that you are supposed to use that tiny recessed button to wake your phone IMO anyways. I searched, but it doesn't look like it can be done without rooting... can it? I only found mods for rooted phones. Please let me know, she hates the phone if she has to keep using the little power button to wake.
Is there any other solution to waking the phone without the power button?
Thanks guys!!
I'm not 100% positive, but fairly certain that it is not possible. In order to make a change like this, you are going to need to change up some of the underlying framework which can only be done by installing a zip/script via recovery.
Widgetlocker in the android market. The option is called "easywake". The app does tons more than allow volume rocker wake up! Its one of those must have apps.. no root required.
+1 for WidgetLocker...Waking the phone via the volume buttons is the main reason I use the app. I can long press the search button to lock the screen etc...using the "Screen Off and Lock " app.

Hi guys, I got the HTC Legend, and I'm finding it a pain to have to press on the lock button every time to wake it from sleep and so I want to be able to wake it by pressing on the optical trackpoint or any of the capacitive buttons as well.
It really frustrates me sometimes if I forget I've turned it off already and I try to wake it, so I press the power button, and it boots up instead and I have to wait for it to turn on only to turn it off again.
If anyone knows any solution please help me. It's driving me insane. On the iPhone I could just press the home button to wake and it wouldn't turn on the phone if it's off. I'm on stock Froyo 2.2 with sense UI, not rooted. Would prefer not to root and definitely not install a new ROM as it is not my phone and I don't want to mess with it too much. Thanks.
you could use an app like widgetlocker to achieve this. link to market
I'm curious, how the phone turns off when u press the power button to unlock the screen.
Do you have the lock screen setup? It should not be able to turn off untill screen is unlocked then the power button pressed and held again.

Trackball waking cannot be done via froyo sense! If you are willing to root your phone then flash Cm 7.1 as your rom. Then you can go to settings to activate trackball waking.
Other than that you can look around the market for apps that allow this.

what I meant was to unlock the screen while the phone is on by pressing any button apart from the power button, because at night I turn off my phone (the normal way), then I forget if I've turned it off or not, so I press the power button again, and then the startup screen appears - Sh*t! so I have to wait for it to turn on again so I can turn it off.
So essentially I want to press the capacitive buttons or trackpoint so that
1. It will unlock the phone if it is on.
2. It will not turn on the phone if it is off

hmm thanks. But when I looked through the comments everyone finds it a huge battery drain... So I'd rather not.
Thanks for the suggestions guys but if anyone knows an app that can does this it'd be great! So frustrating!
So stock rom in locked mode only reacts to pwr? Hmm

Currently no app except for widget locker and some launchers allow this. The only other way is to root and flash.

I think what he is saying is that he can't check if the phone is off or not.
Why you don´t use the rom from blay0 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=866849)? It is based on HTC stock version and has several extensions and wake on trackpad. It is very stable and i had no problems with this rom in the last months.
OK, my Flyer power button is broken. A quick dissection of the board shows that the casing around the actual switch (not button) has broken away. A manual press on the metal disc that makes the contact switches the device on - and I have now found a new power/ear jack board and white cover to replace them. But, in the meantime is there an app that I can use to wake the device or a button remapper that can turn the volume control into a power switch, or even a pen press?
Shake awake doesn't exist. Tap Tap won't work without a proximity sensor....
At the moment the best I can do is plug it into a USB port....not terribly good on the move!
Many thanks,
Christof

O man, were you able to find a replacement for that little circuit board around the power switch? My brother has the exact same problem with his flyer and I'm trying to help him locate a replacement part. I would greatly appreciate any leads you can give me on getting parts.

The same thing happened to.me. I'm using Leedroid tweaks and it works perfectly.

All of the other buttons work, keyboard works, but for whatever reason the home button does not vibrate or trigger the system sound effect when pressed. I did some reading and it looked like vibrant uses were having an issue like this back on 2.2 . Is this a normal thing for the i717 Note? I'm on Saurom 7.1 if that helps. How can I get this working? It's not a BIG deal, but it is very annoying.

Hey guys,
Anyone of you feeling the same as me and my s3?
Sort of all the time accidentally touch the power button and yeah as you know, the screen gone. Sometimes touch it a bit longer then expected, then yeah again a power menu come up. What you gonna do just need to escape from them and continue your work.
You can say that it not a big thing and I can say that it's so annoyed.
So back to the question. Any idea to configure the sensitivity of the button?
Like prevent the short press or setup the time out of the hold pressing?
Cheers,
