flash the cm7 rom then you can use the vol key to wake up you streak5

Or you could just use Tap Tap App
App, was developed by Pedro Maicas and has saved me ton of issues, had to replace my Streak twice due to power button issues. Found Tap Tap App 5 months ago and haven't looked back.
Tap tap only let me turn off the device by push the icon. But How can I turn on the streak? And how can I lock the buttons without changing the rom . Thanks

Step 1. Enable, Step 2. Proximity sensor configuration, check unlocks screen, turn off sensor after long time, Count sensor events to Tap Tap and Sensor sensitivity to Easy detection. Hold phone about 45 degree angle, using whole hand gently tap till screen turns on, you will get the hang of the sweet spot and will be cooking with Crisco after that.....Hopes this works for you as well as for me.
For those with MIUI versions, go to settings > system > button > volume rocker wake - check on. This wakes up your phone. Otherwise you can't make your DS screen to switch off.
I have not found a method of assigning a non-power button to be able to switch on my DS.
Hope this has been helpful

Hey guys I seem to be having a problem with my softkeys from a dozen or so flashes ago and it hasn't been fixed. So basically if you wanted to access the task manager or voice search before you could hold either the home or search softkeys. My problem is that as soon as I hold the home key, it acts as a single press and it doesn't register a hold. Is there anyzone who knows how to fix this? Thanks a bunch!

In order to configure available settings, follow the steps below:
1. Press the Home Key
2. Press the Menu Key
3. Tap on Settings
Sound and Display in that menu you should be able to adjust the sensitivity of the touch and see if that resolves the issue
Sorry its not the intensity of the haptic and those settings don't have touch sensitivity. Im also running the newest bionix if that helps.

Hi,
Is it possible to wake up my phone by pressing (or should I say touching) home button instead of power button?
BTW, I've found a app for turning the screen down called "Screen Off and Lock" in the market.
update: I found the TapTap App from the market is very good to wake up your streak without pressing the power button. It uses proximity sensor to wake up your phone and you can change the sensitivity. I have been using it for a couple of days, it doesn't degrade the battery life. At least I didn't feel that.
I use that app (screen off and lock) with transparent launcher 100% transparent to hide the icon. and NO LOCK app to use the power button to wake it up. But have not found a menu unlock that will work.
u can use widgetlocker it has this option
Or use the menu unlock off the market. Not home button.....but the menu button....

on most devices you change key 102 HOME in /system/usr/keylayout/sruf_keypad.kl to key 102 HOME WAKE_DROPPED but im not sure that will work anyways because these are capacitive buttons, not physical ones so its like trying to use the touch screen while its off.

I didn't try this one. If it does work, that's great.
Does this app consume more power than usual?

Oh, I found this one. It's just for unlocking the phone after you wake up it, but not for waking it up. Right?

Doesn't work for me, or perhaps I'm just dumb
I've used the app Button Remapper to remap all of the hardware buttons, including the camera button as two (focus, camera).
These can be used to power on the device with wake_dropped.
However, the Home, Menu etc buttons are not identified and remappeable in the normal way. Has anyone found if they're remapped from/to other buttons, perhaps the function keys etc?
I've found that remapping the keys:
volume up = home
volume down = menu
focus = back
camera = search,
it's substantially better to use in landscape mode. However, I'd like to disable the capacitive buttons, but haven't found a way yet.

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.

I'll be glad to press the thanks button(even if it doesn't work) only if I could understand what it meant.
From Google Play:
Description
This background service allows you to light on or off your device by proximity sensor. You just cover and release the sensor by finger, to switch your device's screen on and off.
Please activates the LightLock by "Setting" > "Location & security" > "Select device admin", and remember to inactivates it before uninstall it.
Use it and watch your battery drain fast
Now why would someone want anything like that.Unless your power button stops working.
How could you dont need it if you cant boot the phone without it
Actually you can boot phone without power button if you have 2nd init, plug in charger and wait for blue led and enter bootmenu, select boot, 2nd init.

Hi,
Can anybody know about how to add reset/shutdown button into notification panel or button on Home screen for samsung galaxy note 3?
I have searched around the phone but couldn't see that function.
THANKS.
JACK
I don't know about an on-screen widget, but simply holding the power button for 3 seconds will result in those buttons popping up.
as per I know I have not seen any such on screen widget..so all you need to do simply hold the power button for 2-3 seconds and you will get the pop up of shutdown and reset...but still if you get to know about some on screen widget then just do let me know..would be happy to know about anything like this...and will be going to implement for sure......
If your rooted you can use an app called quick boot. I'm not sure if this is what your looking for.
