I am looking for a way to prevent my phone from being turned off while in my pocket. I have the 2.2.1 update and have not experienced the automatic powering off, and am pretty sure it is me somehow pressing the power button then pressing off on the power options screen.
-Perhaps there is a way to change the power options screen so it requires a phone unlock before it appears?
-Port the HTC Hero lockscreen which prevents the power options screen appearing unless it has been unlocked?
-Change the power button behavior somehow?
I am quite new to this phone, and have yet to root the phone, but I will root the phone if I have to.
Please let me know if this is possible in any way!

Best advice I can give off the top of my head is to use quickboot which requires root. It requires you to go through a few menus before you power it off. Or you might try getting some sort of proximity sensor app, so that the screen won't come on while in your pocket.
Hallo alle,
I have a question, how can I get in the bootloader? Power + volume down?
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D
That is correct. Make sure to uncheck fastboot in your settings, or restart your phone. When choosing to restart, watch LEDs go out at the bottom of the phone. When they go out, hold volume down.

Yup, power & volume -.....Make sure fastboot is unchecked in settings>power. You could also download quick boot from the market, which will allow you to boot to the bootloader or recovery straight from the rom. Also a lot of the updated custom roms have these options built into the power button prompt.
You can make sure by pulling the battery for a few seconds before powering on and holding down the down volume. That is how I first did mine.
many thanks guys!!
Hi,
i have some problems with mt HTC aria.

That's just the bootloader so you could try flashing a rom. Do you have a custom recovery installed?

hi,
i don't really know what or how.
can you instruct me step by step?
the thing is that i was trying to install this file : HTC_Aria_for_ATT_Android_2.2_ROM_Update.exe and in the middle of the process my USB cable disconnected, and the phone doesn't boot since.
it just show me a white screen with the text i wrote up there (and it's ruu, not rru, obviously) when i turn it on, and it doesn't go to the hard reset menu even if i hold the down-volume button when i press the power button.

You could just boot into fastboot (choose "fastboot" from the list in that menu) and re-run the RUU (Rom Update Utility).
nurief, you may need to pull out the battery to get out of the RUU screen. After putting the battery back in, hold down the trackpad button (that button below the screen) and press the power button, then release the trackpad button. It will say FASTBOOT if it worked correctly.
The RUU should be able to detect the phone while it's on the FASTBOOT screen.

Make sure you keep holding down the trackpad button until the screen turns on, then let go. Sorry, I should have been more clear about that.
If it still doesn't work, try the same process but this time hold down volume down button instead of the trackpad button. It should say HBOOT in blue near the top of the screen. Then after about 10 seconds, press power button once more. It should say FASTBOOT in red near the top now.
If either way works, then connect the USB cable to your computer then start up the RUU again and it should work fine.

it doesn't work.
i tried everything. turning on when the USB is plugged and unplugged, fastboot by holdin the trackpad and down-volume button...
when i plug the USB and unplug it the phone shows me the white screen with the text in to of this thread, and the "RUU" glows in orange background (like the fastboot) but i cannot choose the option even if i press the I/O button.
any ideas?
thanks.
Go to the IRC channel #liberatedAria on Freenode and ask if someone knows what to do. If no one is around, try again later.
If you don't know how to get on IRC, you can access it via web: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#liberatedAria
Edit: From searching around online it seems like making a gold card might fix your problem.

thanks a lot, they helped me there to bring the device back to life.
but the old problem is still here.
the navigation touch keys (home, menu, back and search) doesn't respont to any human contact.
i figured out that if i touch the top of the screen - the backlight ot the keys turns on, but nothing more than that.
* the chat manager told me that he can't help me with that because they deal with rooted phones only, and i don't think mine is...
im currently running virtuous flyer and im s off. Problem ive got it i cant get into bootloader or recovery unless i tell adb to reboot it for me.
If i try to power it off it just comes back on lol. And same when i restart it so i never get a chance to hold volume down to get into recovery.
I just reflashed the boot.img to see if that helped but its still the same.
Holding down the power for a really long time (30 seconds maybe longer?) should power off the device. Not sure, but I think this is intended to work in any mode, since battery pull is not an option for us.
i know but the problem is if i press reboot or power off the flyer from the menu it just instantly comes back on so theres no way for me to actually power down the flyer from the OS unless i hold the button down for 20 seconds
It is the boot down animation. Replace it with one from stock and or a post in the theme section

The best way i know is to always have USB debug enabled. Then adb shell > reboot if needed.
Somehow I'm a little frustrated. I've brought my phone since today. So it is currently on Lollipop. There is no Power in setting to uncheck Fastboot. Is there any way I can root my phone? Please help me out.
The "Fast boot" option in Power settings no longer exists on this phone, and therefore nothing needs to be unchecked.
It never made that much difference when modding to begin with, once you understood: the only reason it mattered, is that in the "power off" condition, it didn't really a truly reboot the phone when you powered on again ("fast boot" was just a deep sleep trick, not a real power off or reboot). And therefore, it would prevent folks from entered bootloader using button combos.
But the "Restart" option when you held the power button was always a true reboot (and allowed bootloader access via button combo).
