Hello together
I have a little problem with my HD2. I have the Goatrip 6 ROM installed with Cookie´s Home Tab 2.0 and S2U2 2.43. The problem is that S2U2 don´t lock the long press end key.
There is a not choosable option in S2U2 2.43. "Don´t lock long press end key"
I need a program who locks the long press end key similar with the lockscreen. Do anybody know a program? Thanks for your help.
I don't think it is possible.
The normal/official rom lock (with the slider or hd mini version) doesn't lock it either.
It's probably something to do with that key being the power key, that it will have priority over everything else to allow you to power off. All keys are able turn the screen on, but long press send key doesn't work while locked, maybe because it's a hack and not standard.

I would like to switch on and off the device with one of the front pannel buttom
Or long press. Also I would like to lock those buttom during kids apps. Thanks

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

sorry if i am posting this in the wrong section
what i am looking for is a dev to write an app for me that would make it so whenever you tried to go to the home screen you needed to enter a password
Before it's closed... enable a lockscreen lock feature in the settings menu.
Questions go in the Q&A section - not the Dev section
it's not a question im asking a developer to write a small app for me and elegos im looking for when i exit the app not turn the device on

As the user above said you can enable the lock screen to have a pattern or pin to unlock it and set it to lock immediately after screen off via power button . So when your done browsing or using your tab you just push the power button to turn the screen off and it will lock automatically. So when you hit the power button to turn the screen on to use the tab again you'll be prompted for a pin/pattern. No need for a special app.
but i never said power button i said HOME button i dont want then to have access to the HOME screen

There is an application called surelock available in market which locks down your system and stops people accessing the home screen and other applications. There is a free trial available.
When your done using the tablet push the power button which will power off the screen and lock the tab. They won't be able to access anything without entering the code/pin.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
- plug in headset
- lock screen
- press headset button for several seconds
What happened:
- No reaction, Google Now / Voice Actions not launched
- Manually unlock screen
- Long press with unlocked screen correctly launches Voice Search
What you think the correct behaviour should be:
Long press of headset button should launch Google Now / Voice Actions even with locked screen. Having to dig the phone out of your pocket in order to launch Voice Actions with a headset e.g. to place a call kinda defeats the purpose of using Voice Actions in the first place.
Adding insult to injury: long press is not broadcast to other applications because of Google Now, so it can't even be put to good use e.g. as volume control.
This was open and ignored by code.google.com Issue 48616
I also have the same problem. The restriction is not due to the lockscreen, apparently. If you disable the option "Power button immediately locks screen" and set "Automatically lock screen after sleep" time to a long enough time, still the long press doesn't work.
It works fine only when screen is on and unlocked. Weird. There is no point of this shortcut if our phone is unlocked and on, because in such a scenario, if headset is connected and phone is awake and unlocked, it means the phone is in our hands. And if it is in our hands, we can just press the button on the Search widget instead of long pressing the headset button. This is pathetic.

I'm affected by this as well.. I love calling upon Google Now from the headset, but sucks that I have to first unlock the screen on the Nexus 4 to do this. I'm OK with this being off by default, but users should be offered an option to turn this on while screen is locked.

Android apparently wants you looking at the screen so you can see the advertisements, so much for being the "open" OS.
So, guys, still no solution to fix this???

You can enable it by, either
1) setting the unlock pattern to none(that will completely disable locksreen, and you can use the google now feature even in screen off)
2) setting the unlock to any pattern and uncheck the "power button instantly locks screen" - in this way you can use the the feature withing the time you specify in the lock screen

Sorry, I have the same problem, I tried this, but this doesn't work...
Any ideas?

Me too
I'm also in the boat of wanting to access Google now while the phone sits in my pocket and I'm wearing headphones. I can kinda understand why they disallow this (so a thief can't make calls on your dime), but it'd be very nice to at least launch apps.
Even xposed's app settings, with Google search allowed to show on the lock screen, doesn't make it happen. I just get a message saying I need to unlock my phone.
The only idea I currently have to launch it over the lock screen is to use auto voice with Tasker. Perhaps I could get it to launch/listen with a triple tap (because long press is locked up by Google now) via degauss. I just hope it all works over the lock screen. I'll update if/when it happens.

I found a fix for this (yes I know this is old but anyway). You have to install the xposed module "xposed additions" and set the long press headset button to unlock the phone. when the phone is unlocked you can simply long press the button again and google voice search will come up. this way you have to long press the button twice but at least it works

thanks spiderflash, this would work but fully unlocks the phone instead of just the Google now search, guess we have to wait for google to fix it.
I've got it
I've developed a good way to do this now. I've had it for the past 2 months or so, but I was waiting until I could go 2 weeks without a hitch.
You need 4 apps: tasker, secure settings, headset button controller and (if you don't for some reason have it) Google Now.
1. Tell hbc to perform a Tasker task (whatever you want to name it, e.g. 'launch voice search') for 3 clicks
2. Task should do the following: turn screen on, keep screen on at least 15 seconds, launch Google voice search [this is where you say your command, e.g. 'play some music'], lock screen, turn screen off.*
If you want to make this slightly less complex, you can simply have it turn the screen on, then you have to manually say 'OK Google,' then say your voice command (as long as you have Google Now available from the lock screen), but I'm trying to get directly to voice search, which won't launch directly if the screen is locked.
For some reason clicking the headset button 3 times sometimes doesn't trigger the first time after you plug in your headset (but works fine once it's triggered the first time until you unplug and re plug). Sometimes you need to do it twice if you don't hear the little Google Now voice beep.
So I hope this helps, but if you develop a better way to do this, please let me know.
* This is because, before I added this, motion in my pocket with the screen on caused it to swipe to the camera, where it will not turn off by itself. It stayed on for a good half hour in my pocket that day.
I have found the solution.
I had three Assist Apps . When I long pressed headset button while screen unlocked, it asked me to choose between Google, Autovoice and Tasker Secondary. I chose Google. From there on Assistant wakes up on long press headset button when screen is on.
When the screen is off, and you long press the headset button the same options popup but you don't see because screen is locked. Now Assistant can't run untill you set the default assist app on lockscreen.
Solution:
Lock your screen.
Long press headset button.
Within 3 sec pressing quickly unlock the phone.
You will see the dialogue asking to choose assist app.
Choose google.
Solved.
Hello. Recently my Galaxy s2 power button hasn't been working. As in when I either hold it down or press it, it doesn't lock the screne or pull the power menu. It works now and then but yeah I have to press it over and over again.I plan on getting it repaired soon but I'm looking for an workaround. I've seen apps that let me turn my phone off, lock it and such but nothing brings open the power menu button with screenshot, recovery mode, airplane mode and such. Is there anything like that out there? That with a press of the button it would open up my power menu options
try rom manager

Use "Button Savior" from Play Store.
It is just HW buttons on screen including power button. (Like Nexus On-Screen Keys)
And it has long press power menu also, which shows Screenshot, Airplane, Silent etc.
P.S.
[Free advice]
If you get that button repaired, use something like Proximity Sensor based app which locks and unlocks phone screen. So power button will be used less.
(I know this consumes a bit more battery, but still battery is lot cheap and easy to change than power button)
[/Free Advice]
Press Thanks if helped.
