Ok is there an other way or app that can wake the phone up from home button like the N7000.
I downloaded app NoLock and works excellent. Finally no lock slider.
But love To find a way to wake up the screen with a double tap. Or from.the led buttons.
Thanks

Widgetlocker gives you the option to wake using any hardware button, including volume. Don't think there's anything that will allow you wake just by tapping the screen or capacitive buttons.
If you're willing to shell out 2 or 3 bucks, WidgetLocker has an option to use other buttons to wake/unlock the screen. I'm not sure about the customizability of it, or if it would be what you're looking for, but I'm pretty sure from my experience with it that it works on the volume rocker and possibly one of the capacitive buttons. I don't remember which capacitive button it is, or if it would work on the Note, because I used it previously on my Infuse, but not recently. Worth a shot, I'm pretty sure at least the volume rocker would work.
NoLED wakes the Note via the Home button. You can also double tap the screen to wake it.

i tried it but only wakes up on the power key .
it does unlock on search or home key but does not wake up .
"Tap tap app" allows you to tap the proximity sensor to wake the phone.

Mine wake up also if i hit the volume buttons. Not sure why
With Tap Tap App set it to "never off the sensor", "tap tap" and "easy detection."
Doesn't always work. I think the sensor is deactivated anyway, probably in deep sleep...

Does anyone know of an App that can wake up the prime from sleep mode without having to press the power button?
Having to press the power button to wake the screen is a real problem. It causes unnecessary wear on the Power button. I do not feel confortable having to press the power button every time I need to wake it. This will certainly wear out the mechanical button-
Finding an App that can wake the display by touching the screen, or even tapping the volume button would be better than having the power button fail in 3 months.
Anyone have any workarounds?
Thanks!!!

Um...get an Ipad? Oh wait... get a Galaxy Ta..oh wait..guy, every tablet has a power button. And every power button on every tablet gets used -_-. The power button will be fine, trust me.

I soooooo would not worry about this.
Of course there is no app that allows the phone to wake when the screen is off by touching the screen. Can you imagine? Ugh.
And your worried about the power button but not worried about the volume button which you would then double (at a minimum) it's usage and workload?
bump
I see ur issue..I hada nexus one and the power button failed..hope it didn't happen to tis tab.
Well i know Ezekiel made a mod for the Nexus S kernel called "Touch wake" allowing the touchscreen to stay on, even if the screen is off. Touching the screen withing a customizable amount of time (1 minute) after the screen turned off would turn it back on. So it is possible, once custom kernels come out..
Another option is a thread in the development sections. A person there is a attempting to create an app that wakes the prime by shaking it. I also believe widgetlocker has a setting to wake on volume button press.
Seriously though, I doubt you will have a problem with the power button.
Here is a video of how HTC stress tested the Nexus One before it was released: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1sz5c-R9h0
Now obviously ASUS isn't HTC, but I'd imagine all companies stress test their products in a similar way before they release them, thus I'm sure the Prime's power button has been tested and proven to last through the normal usage of it.
If you get the keyboard there is a setting that you can toggle(in the stock rom) to wake it up when you touch a key.
Note: it does affect battery life though

Download an app called Widget Locker. It will replace your lock screen but there is an option in the settings that allow you to wake up your tablet by using the volume rocker. That way you can alternate between physical buttons.

I'm personally not concerned about the power button...however, I would still like a feature as the one described here (shake to wake). However, it would need to be accompanied by a widget or means to enable / disable on the fly because in order to do this, you would need to keep your device in partial wake state even if the screen is off which in turn may lead to unexpected battery usage.
I see this as handy for those instances when you are going between tablet and other things and back to tablet (which i find myself doing often)....I'd want to enable during those times and disable when not necessary.
I didn't see the thread in the dev section so if someone wouldn't mind pointing me to it, I'd appreciate it.
Guys, The reason why I started this thread was because I see in other threads this has already been a problem with the original transformer power button (the only way users could wake the display was by plugging the tablet in to charge)
Also, these contacts inside the power buttons that most manufacturers use in the tablets are not the best quality micro switches. Repetitive usage could possibly kill them quickly. (Go check the Acer Iconia A500 forums!) I don't feel very confident of their longevity.
One great thing about Honeycomb and ICS, is that it does away with most of the mechanical buttons. The biggest point of failure that still remains on these tablets is the mechanical power switch.
I set my tablet to sleep after 5 minutes without use so that it does not drain the battery, but I don't wan't to wind up RMA'ing this thing back to Asus if there is a way to prevent it. I will try some of the recommendations provided. I really do hope that this is something that is looked into by the developers. Keep the suggestions coming! and thank you all!
Mom always said if you keep playing with it , it will fall off... lol

Good god how hard are you pressing the screen? It only needs a gentle touch or caress
If you don't want to press/touch you screen, I would highly recommend getting the dock. A stylus will apply even more pressure than the average finger. You won't have to touch the screen at all once you get the dock. If you are worried you are gonna wear out and stop/break the touchpad, get an external usb mouse.
If you are afraid of wearing out or breaking an external mouse, well then I am out of ideas.
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

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

Hey guys, i noticed when pressing the power button to turn the LCD on, it turns on a second or two after being pressed. Is there any way to make it turn on instantly when you press the power button? Its kind of annoying to me since im used to all my other phones turning on right away when being pressed.
It's probably due to the fact that your phone is exiting deep sleep.

@op's post i have noticed it too, with s-voice disabled on double pressing the home key ; @demonor, that is true but lighting up the screen using the home is faster than the power key even if it isn't already in deep sleep.
just try doing it over and over again, lighting the screen up is instantaneous as compared to about almost a second after when you use the power button to light the screen up.
same here... it's really annoying... thought i'm the only one..

Hi, I'm on the official Samsung update and wanted to know if there is an app or Something that would allow the volume rockers to wake the phone instead of the power button. Searched the play store but all I could find was the "proximity sensor" wake apps but I find they drain too much battery.
Have you guys found any tweaks??

If a mod isn't for your phone you stand a good chance of borking your phone.

its just to prevent damaging the power button from over use, if im able to wake using volume rockers it evens the button usage

For those with the sticky power button issue that'll cause boot loops.
Have you found a solution yet? I tried to modify the key layout files and set all Volume Up/Down to wake, no luck.
