Hello all. Tried searching but seems like nobody has mentioned this before.
I'd like to know if there is any button (other than the power button) that will light up the screen from standby ( so I check the time / read notifications without unlocking the phone). Previously I use iPhone4 and Arc S and both can light up the screen from standby with the home button. I find it pretty annoying to have to press the power button (especially when you put your phone on the table). So is it possible to say, make the screen light up even with volume up/down buttons or shutter button?
Many thanks!
Widget locker will do this for you.

But using go locker will disable my ability to have music control on the lockscreen. Is there a way to get round it?

I bought Poweramp. May I ask how did you get the lockscreen to work with Poweramp?
I tried GoLocker and it wakes with any button press.

Can someone confirm if it's possible to change the track with the volume keys while the screen is turned off.
I can currently do this with my nexus 1 running cm7
Thanks

Nope. You can't. Volume keys are for volume up/down purpose only. But you can swipe the clock in the lock screen to get the music player widget, where you can change tracks.
Well it may be adjustable with CM when it comes out for the S, so I wouldn't give up hope. It's just not available in stock .
I don't get why OEMs make this a part of the stock firmware. Its a very useful feature especially when listening to spotify.

Like the old Sony Ericsson Walkman phone's.
Hold up for next and down for previous.
It would be very usefull.
when we play music there is a mini player at the top of the screen.But when we stop the music,it still there at lockscreen.I find some ways to make it disappeared:
1)at the lockscreen(when the screen is black) ,double press power key
2)at the lockscreen(when the screen is black) ,press power key in a normal way for 7 times ,and it works
Cool, thanks for the tip. Sometimes it is nice to have it there so You can resume music, but most times I want to make it go away as well.

Thanks for the awesome tip mate!
Does not always work. Worked a couple of days ago.
Now I have pressed the power button from the lookscreen like 100 times and it's still there. So this is very inconsistent.
EDIT: ah my mistake I thought it would take away the info from the panel when you press the volume keys also. This only applies for the lockscreen info unfortunately.
Yup volume keys do work even when the device is locked. I hope you also know that you can silence an incoming call quickly by just tapping the vol up or down key.
There is also an app in the marketplace to remove the music player icon from the lockscreen and when volume keys are used

I have Xperia Sola 4.04

I think this is just a limitation with Android. You have to put the lock screen on in order for the volume to not unlock it.
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??
FOUND flashable zip!
found a thread with a flashable zip, do you know if it works with our phone? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987669
If a mod isn't for your phone you stand a good chance of borking your phone.
If you don't mind me asking, what's so great about volume wake?
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.
Thanks

hey im using an app called "tap tap app", i wake using the proximity sensor and you turn the screen off by using a widget button. not exactly what i was looking for but its been doing a good job of reducing my power button usage.
Doesn't work for me, even after I select "invert sensor". Anyway, thanks

Hey guys, i'm kinda new here so, I hope i'm posting in the correct thread. I hope someone here can help me out with my problem though.
Anyways, whenever i'm listening to music, and I press the play/pause button on my headset to control my music tracks, my phone turns on. This get's really annoying because every time my phone turns on, it stays on for a few seconds, and this really kills battery life. I've tried lurking around my phone's settings and even my launcher settings, but i can't find a way to fix this.
My phone is a rooted HTC Wildfire S running AOKP custom rom with Nova Launcher Prime. And if it makes any difference, I'm using the "Start" lock screen from the Play Store.
Thanks guys!:good:

This isn't a native feature so the first thing to do is to check the settings of your rom and Start app. Normally there's an option you have enabled.
Do u use an app to control your headset buttons? There's maybe an option that turns on your screen while pressing the buttons.

I triple checked Start app settings as well as rom control settings. There's nothing there that seems to be the problem. I don't have an app to control my headset buttons either. I can't think of anything that must be causing this issue.

No, i don't think I use active display or lockscreen notifications. When my screen turns on, i don't see any notifications or anything related to the music player. It just turns on regularly as if I were to press the power button to turn it on.
