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
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.

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 everyone,
I usually leave my auto rotation turned off, but when I want it in for a short period (eg to watch a video horizontally) I have to pull the status bar down and select it, then turn it off again.
I was thinking it would be useful to have a shortcut or gesture such as double tapping the status bar or screen to toggle autorotation, or maybe keeping your finger pressed on the screen as you turn the phone as a temporary toggle.
Is there anything like this?
Power Control Widget (surely you already have it).
Yes but a gesture is useful, because when full screen videos are playing you have to press home button, toggle, then go back to it. Is there something like activator for jailbroken idevices

Search for "Tasker" in the Play store. I'm pretty confident it can do gestures, it's a pretty awesome app if you like customizing stuff like that.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
- plug in headset
- lock screen
- press headset button for several seconds
What happened:
- No reaction, Google Now / Voice Actions not launched
- Manually unlock screen
- Long press with unlocked screen correctly launches Voice Search
What you think the correct behaviour should be:
Long press of headset button should launch Google Now / Voice Actions even with locked screen. Having to dig the phone out of your pocket in order to launch Voice Actions with a headset e.g. to place a call kinda defeats the purpose of using Voice Actions in the first place.
Adding insult to injury: long press is not broadcast to other applications because of Google Now, so it can't even be put to good use e.g. as volume control.
This was open and ignored by code.google.com Issue 48616
I also have the same problem. The restriction is not due to the lockscreen, apparently. If you disable the option "Power button immediately locks screen" and set "Automatically lock screen after sleep" time to a long enough time, still the long press doesn't work.
It works fine only when screen is on and unlocked. Weird. There is no point of this shortcut if our phone is unlocked and on, because in such a scenario, if headset is connected and phone is awake and unlocked, it means the phone is in our hands. And if it is in our hands, we can just press the button on the Search widget instead of long pressing the headset button. This is pathetic.

I'm affected by this as well.. I love calling upon Google Now from the headset, but sucks that I have to first unlock the screen on the Nexus 4 to do this. I'm OK with this being off by default, but users should be offered an option to turn this on while screen is locked.

Android apparently wants you looking at the screen so you can see the advertisements, so much for being the "open" OS.
So, guys, still no solution to fix this???

You can enable it by, either
1) setting the unlock pattern to none(that will completely disable locksreen, and you can use the google now feature even in screen off)
2) setting the unlock to any pattern and uncheck the "power button instantly locks screen" - in this way you can use the the feature withing the time you specify in the lock screen

Sorry, I have the same problem, I tried this, but this doesn't work...
Any ideas?
Cheers,

Me too
I'm also in the boat of wanting to access Google now while the phone sits in my pocket and I'm wearing headphones. I can kinda understand why they disallow this (so a thief can't make calls on your dime), but it'd be very nice to at least launch apps.
Even xposed's app settings, with Google search allowed to show on the lock screen, doesn't make it happen. I just get a message saying I need to unlock my phone.
The only idea I currently have to launch it over the lock screen is to use auto voice with Tasker. Perhaps I could get it to launch/listen with a triple tap (because long press is locked up by Google now) via degauss. I just hope it all works over the lock screen. I'll update if/when it happens.

I found a fix for this (yes I know this is old but anyway). You have to install the xposed module "xposed additions" and set the long press headset button to unlock the phone. when the phone is unlocked you can simply long press the button again and google voice search will come up. this way you have to long press the button twice but at least it works

thanks spiderflash, this would work but fully unlocks the phone instead of just the Google now search, guess we have to wait for google to fix it.
I've got it
I've developed a good way to do this now. I've had it for the past 2 months or so, but I was waiting until I could go 2 weeks without a hitch.
You need 4 apps: tasker, secure settings, headset button controller and (if you don't for some reason have it) Google Now.
1. Tell hbc to perform a Tasker task (whatever you want to name it, e.g. 'launch voice search') for 3 clicks
2. Task should do the following: turn screen on, keep screen on at least 15 seconds, launch Google voice search [this is where you say your command, e.g. 'play some music'], lock screen, turn screen off.*
If you want to make this slightly less complex, you can simply have it turn the screen on, then you have to manually say 'OK Google,' then say your voice command (as long as you have Google Now available from the lock screen), but I'm trying to get directly to voice search, which won't launch directly if the screen is locked.
For some reason clicking the headset button 3 times sometimes doesn't trigger the first time after you plug in your headset (but works fine once it's triggered the first time until you unplug and re plug). Sometimes you need to do it twice if you don't hear the little Google Now voice beep.
So I hope this helps, but if you develop a better way to do this, please let me know.
* This is because, before I added this, motion in my pocket with the screen on caused it to swipe to the camera, where it will not turn off by itself. It stayed on for a good half hour in my pocket that day.
I have found the solution.
I had three Assist Apps . When I long pressed headset button while screen unlocked, it asked me to choose between Google, Autovoice and Tasker Secondary. I chose Google. From there on Assistant wakes up on long press headset button when screen is on.
When the screen is off, and you long press the headset button the same options popup but you don't see because screen is locked. Now Assistant can't run untill you set the default assist app on lockscreen.
Solution:
Lock your screen.
Long press headset button.
Within 3 sec pressing quickly unlock the phone.
You will see the dialogue asking to choose assist app.
Choose google.
Solved.
