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.
Would it be possible, and has anyone made, a mod to require a double press or long press of the power button for screen on? I have had my 3d since launch day and I finally can't take it anymore, nothing is more irritating than pulling my phone out of my pocket and the screen is already on and I have no battery left.
Screen time out? Never had that issue... Volume rocker wake? Idk

With my previous "HTC Desire" I was able to edit the file "bravo-keypad.kl" so that the power button does not turn on the screen ... check out this post if you want to try.
Greetings.
Get rid of your skinny jeans and put a pattern lock.

Hello,
you can try this mod
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1334871
I use the fully LeeDroid ROM and there you can set the volume buttons or the camera button for unlock the screen. So you won't have your problem with the power button any more
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,

i was browsing and suddenly my screen stopped responding to touch input
now i can't even turn off the phone (the back, home and menu buttons work normally)
i'm hoping it's just frozen for some reason
i still have a lot of battery left so what can i do to restart it instead of just wait for it to run flat?
I think its vol up + power until it vibrates. Something like this

So I opened an app then the phone got really not slow but it would load like every 10 seconds. I tapped the homescreen and the display just turned off and the buttons are lit but the screen display isn't. When I press the button on the top it wont come on if I hold the top button the capacitive touch buttons flash. I started charging it but then took it off the charger hoping it would die. So now the buttons are lit and it has the orange charging light on but its not charging and the display isn't on and not working and I don't know what to do please help
Hold the power and both volume buttons.... You will see your lights flash again , theyll flash like 12 times or so and then totally shut off. This is a forced shut down. Then just try to press the power button and turn it back on like normal.
