If press to wake, i think it is possible. But no different with pressing power button. If touch to wake up, I dont think it is an easy thing to make sensor response in standby mode
no, not touch to wake. that would be bad. imho. i would like 'press to wake'
I would like that also!
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

Stop being an ass.
@OP
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.

Wouldn't feel that confident about the prime's buttons. Volume button on mine already feel weird after a month with it (have to press volume up harder...)

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, 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

its working for me without the "inverted" selected. NOTE:you have to do the "unlocking training"
Hello
Is any possible to set sound click or vibration on touch physical (hardware) button (BACK and MENU button)? Any modification or module for xposed?
Thanks for help.
Actually, this will kill your battery life but if you would like, There is an app on the store called Spare Parts Plus! that might do that by enabling "Haptic Feedback"
P.S. On my device (LG L7II) one of the bugs in KK version was enabling haptic feedback when it runs out of battery. ant this app helped me with that problem.
Wishing you good luck
Not work :crying:
Hello
This is my second day using the Gear S I set the screen to be Always On, as it is more comfortable, but I noticed that every accidental touch on the screen will wake the watch up :cyclops:
is there any way that I activate the screen using the power button only?
thank you all

You can't have both. If you want to do what you're describing go into style and shut off clock always on. Then go into motion and uncheck wake up gesture.
Your watch will now only turn on the screen if you touch the power button.

isn't this something we can come around by rooting?
I mean aren't there any workarounds?:crying:
still searching and reading
I am looking for the same solution - I want the screen to always show a high battery efficient clock and only show the main watch face when I press the home button or activate the screen by doing the wake up gesture(as Sony's SW2 does...)
