Hi all,
the new Xperia Mini goes ON when i press the Home Button. (and with the Power Button too)...
Is there a way to disable Power ON with the Home Button?
Thanks!
Not that I know of. I actually like pressing the home button to turn on phone. Its more natural for me bc iv been using iphone for long time. To each his own I guess
Why is it you have a problem? just wonderin

Too bad...
Using a Leather Case, and the Close "Button" is direct over the Home Button.
So everytime the Case is "Pressed" the Phone turns on.
ahhh i see. at least is minimal drain on the battery for lock screen to be on 10-20 sec.
but then again the battery life for xperia isn't all that great so i see your concern. guess back to playing the waiting game
Yes, but i like the Phone really!
Just wrote an eMail to SonyEricsson...
Brudertac try changing your leather case, solved.

Try this (you need to be rooted):
1. using root explorer or similar, go to folder /system/usr/keylayout, make sure the filesystem is mounted as R/W
2. edit file pm8058_keypad.kl
3. change the following line:
Code:
key 102 HOME WAKE_DROPPED
into this:
Code:
key 102 HOME
4. save the file, reboot and done
Anyone knows if the buttonremapper app would work for att sgn, say, by remapping the touch search button at the right bottom of the phone ? Thanks.

With root, this should be able to be accomplished by editing the same text file as the "swap search and menu key hack". Just figure out the correct keycode for the power button. Not sure if a capacitative button could be used for wakeup though.
softkey can't be use to wake up the phione/screen...

Thanks for responding. Since my SGN was rooted, so I used a root browser to replace key 217 SEARCH in sec_touchkey.kl file in system/usr/keylayout/ with key 116 POWER. As you suspected, it appeared that the capacitative search button (softkey) can not be replaced by the capacitative POWER (WAKE?) button for wakeup.
So a hardkey must be used instead for wakeup?

Yeah, I was kind of guessing that capacitative were not active as a part of screenlock. Looks like it.

Ok, so I've read about how you don't get the ICS quick change/recently used apps button on the new SIii.
Questions 1 is there a way to remap the Menu button so that is does the quick change feature?
2 is there a way to then, the double tap home button feature to get GOOGLE Voice Search/Actions?
3 is there a way that I can add on screen ICS buttons like on the Galaxy Nexus? And then make the hardware home button do something else?
Do I need apps? Rooting?
Thanks!
You need to root. You can turn on software keys with the AOKP rom but you cannot disable the hard keys.

You can disable the capacitive buttons, but you cannot re map them from what I have found

Do you know how to disable the hardware keys?

i would rather have the task manager open when you hold and press on the back button. the menu button when u hold give u the google search, but on the back button when u hold nothing happens. it would be only logical to apply the task manager to this button when pressed down and held for a a few seconds
Hey I have heard that NOVA launcher pro allows you to customize some of the these short cuts on the phone.

Aw yeah.
I do not have the phone yet, but I believe holding the home button will bring up the recent apps. This is how it's been for previous android versions before they made a dedicated button for the galnex
that's how it works for my Dinc, on gingerbread and ics

1. open /system/usr/keylayout/gpio-keys.kl
2. add # to the beginning of the line of the key you want to disable
3. reboot
in the same file you can remap power key to home key for example
remember to make backup before editinf the file

is there a way to stop the home button from waking the device also? (so only the power button wake the device up)
I wonder if you guys can enlighten me. My goal is to have the Home key under the screen function as the power button, and have the normal power button (on the right side of the phone) function as Home (without waking the device). I want this because I'm always unintentionally hitting the power button when I pick up the phone.
I was able to get the Home button to function as power by changing key 116 to 172 in sec_powerkey.kl. However, now the normal power button doesn't do anything. I tried swapping POWER with HOME in sec_keys.kl, but that doesn't seem to do anything.
Any tips on how to give my power button a function now?

Isn't this an IOS vulnerability? LOL
Is this something new or a repetition of the screen lock bug already posted ???
jje
In the netherlands it was on the news.
Samsung will made an uldate quickly.
But if you do the glitch:
- Statusbar wont work anymore.
- Any (other) lock wont work.
Untill you will do an reboot.

GT-i9100, all function buttons are touch not physical. The menu button works but the home button acts as the back button and the back and search button just vibrates. These all worked on 10.2.
