[Q] im looking for shortcut for physical power button - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Im looking for a shorcut that will mimic or work the same as the physical power button.
PURPOSE:
1. to save the physical button.
2. to make my phone go into DEEP SLEEP since all apps like screen off dont make my phone go into deep sleep and drain my battery.
3. to make it as a gesture or something like that

Im sure u lost about 4-5% battery per hour when u use that app bcoz it wont make your phone go into deep sleep
A simple THANKS button would suffice

from what? might as well save the phone and not turn it on... the power button was designed to take a lot of presses, I'm sure it can outlive your phone

+1 and saving power/home button is normal practice on iphone because it's to expensive also difficult to get it replaced.
But for samsung phones, I am not sure if it would be that difficult or expensive.

Thanks for the reply guys, but i found a way, i remap the power button into the soft key

[Q] Touchstone: How to keep the TP off while on the Touchstone?

how do I keep the TP from turning on while on the touchstone? I don't want a clock or pictures, I just want it dark in my room at night. I can turn off the power when I first set it on the dock but when its fully charged on pops the screen again. How can I disable this?
Thanks
install preware if you dont have it already, go to patches and look for charge only option. there's several to choose from. pick one you like and use.
I'm pretty sure if you hit the power button after exhibition mode starts it will turn the screen off for good. But what I did was install the minimum brightness patch so now when its in exhibition mode it is much darker and much less bothersome when trying to sleep. To install the patch you'll need preware installed.

Do you happen to know the name? I found one called Quick System Tasks and it locked up my tab. I looked through all the prepare apps and only found that one.

Are you using the Preware app on your Touchpad?
Preware -> Available Packages -> Patch -> Search -> Enter "Charge"
The search is started by tapping the magnifying glass in the top button, which brings up the keyboard. Type in "charge" (without the quotes).

Or when it receives any notifications for that matter. I've resorted to just keeping the cover on the HP case closed so it covers the screen when I leave it on the touchstone overnight.

If you're talking about the temp of the device, I'm not really sure. I installed the minimum brightness patch the second day I got it because it was way too bright to have as a bedside clock. I also have a case on it, but it doesn't feel warm when I take it off the stone. Also, the lowest brightness with the patch can only be set in the screen and lock app. You cannot set it from the drop down on the home screen.

uhhh im sure he is asleep by the time it fully charges.
i have a solution
1) put the charger and the touchpad into a box
2) tape the box up
3) put my address on the box
4) take it to the post office and send it to me
that should fix your problem

[Q] Change Power Button behaviour on call in CM7?

Hey guys!
In CM7, when I hit the Ace's power button, it ends the call. I don't want this, I want the good old turn-off screen, like on stock roms. I searched everywhere and I didn't found any option to change this.
Can someone point me what can I do?
Thanks!
Setting/call setting and tick on always use proximity

This is useless to me, since I almost never use my phone holding it. I use the earphones that come with it.

I don't think the setting for the power button is in Accessibility on CM, try looking around the CM menu, I think that's where it is.

Edit: after reading your post below it appears that you do have eyes

No, I don't have eyes.
There are a few different variations of CM, and the one I used to have (I think it's the one by vo-1) had that setting in the CM menu.
Even LeWa has it

cm7 power button ends call in galaxy ace
I switched over to cm7 on my galaxy ace a week ago. Its very frustrating that the power button ends the call, i always disabled the proximity sensor in stock firmware and kinda used to that.
everytime i try to turn the screen off in a call, it actually ends the call. There is no option in accessibility settings to prevent power button from ending the call (screenshots attached)
I also downloaded an app phone settings manager and that too has no effect.
please help!
Same as here. Using CM7 from vo-1. I think that I'll switch to the one provided by FAT. Can someone confirm if it has that option in Accessibility?
This is what I have. Apart being in portugese, of course.
you can download "Screen Off and Lock" from the Play Store.
this is what I did.
so when someone calls. press the home button to go to your home screen then click the shortcut you have or if not go to your app drawer and press it to turn off your screen.
I'm using go launcher so I set the application to be activated when I glide down my finger in my home screen.

Nah, too much trouble. I want it more simple, like it was on stock. And it has to be somewhere on the settings, maybe I'm just not finding it.
good luck in finding it.

I've used Grif's CM7 and in that ROM, POWER BUTTON ENDS CALL option was in Accessibility only
I don't think that I'll need this anymore. Yesterday I was using the phone when I needed to hang-up the call, and it was right in front of me, so I didn't needed to power-on screen, unlock it and then hang-up. I just hit the power-button and done!
Also, I think that I can live with the screen-delay to power-off.

Whatsapp vibration pattern
Can anyone tell me if theres an app to increase the intensity of vibration if we get a message on whatsapp? I have to keep my phone on vibration in class and always miss out on the messages as the vibration intensity is too low.
I figured how to change it for gmail and sms through an app but how can i change it for other apps like whatsapp?

S3 screen continuously turns on and off when in idle mode

I have a general problem with all samsung mobile phones from s2 and note to s3
The screen continuously turns on and off when in idle mode that drain phone battery fast and I had no reason to do something like that
Any one could help?
must be because of something you did on all these phones.
- rooted?
- custom rom?
- separate custom kernel?
- weird apps?
- some badly made cover/case that inadvertently presses the power button regularly?
what happens on screen when it is turned on? just the unlock screen or ..??

I've had all the Galaxy S line of phones. Never seen this kind of behavior. Especially if your not flashing anything. Take it back.

Turns out that the "Super Mario Bross" game was causing this.

I havent found an option for that yet, but in the meantime... you could turn your screen timeout to 15 seconds,,,,
Yeah, it is set to 15 sec. There isn't an option. A database will have to be edited, I'm just not sure which one or how!
Root your device. Then instalk Xposed framework and Wanam Xposed, you will find that option there.

Hi,
Actually you should be able to achieve this by editing the following file:
Code:
/system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl
Find the key in question and comment out the mapping by prefixing with #.
I have used this method to disable home and menu keys as I only use pie navigation.

Sprint HTC One Max No wake from power button

New to all this, and was wondering if there is a way to use something else to wake and put to sleep instead of power button. Looking for help!!! Can someone walk me thru what to do?
If the phone is on and charged you can plug it in to wake the screen and set the screen time out to something like 30 seconds to have it turn off. There is no tap to wake on this device so that maybe your only option.

Thank u for the answer, but cant always be charging. So is there any way to swipe to wake?

No. There is no form of "touch" to wake on the one max. No kernel support for that function. Don't necessarily need to leave it charging just plug in and unplug for the screen to come on

I use this app, a wave over the proximity sensor wakes up the phone and I have it set to go to sleep when I set it down on a flat surface. I also use screen off app when there's no flat surface

if you are willing to root your device, then you can install xposed framework and explore all the wonderful modules that work under the framework. then install the sense 6 toolkit module and enable the "wake with volume buttons" and map double tap on lockscreen and double tap on home and double tap on status bar to "screen off"... done!
