So uh ... my HTC HD2's home button decides to stop working today.
I believe it's a hardware issue because instead of the usual "click" I feel when clicking the other buttons, the home button just sinks in - and the light on the home button always seems a lot dimmer than the other ones. I am wondering is there any way to hopefully solve this problem, or I guess I'll have to end up calling up HTC about this phone I got off craigslist. .___.
Thanks!
Hi everyone,
As most of you, I am looking forward for the Froyo upgrade which is supposed to release this week.
While waiting for that, can I ask can you recommend me any application that can unlock the Streak without pressing the power button? At first, I like that way to unlock the phone but after that I discover that it makes the power button sunk, something like that button is eroded after pressing so many times.
Is there anyway to unlock the phone just by touching the screen like the Iphone.
I tried unlock v2.0 or some application like that but they all request press the power button.
I will be grateful if anyone can help me answering me this.
Thank you so much.
I second this request if anyone knows! Thanks all...

I too would like a different way of turning the screen on without the power button, ideally I'd like an app that can allow me to turn the screen on with the camera button instead.....preferably only requiring the first level button rather than having to push it all the way in.....I'm still not 100% comfortable with where the power button is located at the moment as well as like the OP said, it kinda sits a little too far in (sunk) and makes it difficult to find or press sometimes.....plus I don't press the camera button all that much so I'd rather have that and that it'll be the first button you'll find along the top.
Do a search for remapping keys in this f forum. I believe someone reported success in mapping the camera key to wake from suspend. I don't think you'll be able to power on using the camera button, though.
I'm pretty sure when the screen times out it physically turns off, so you wouldn't be able to wake it up that way.
The camera button is certainly possible though, ill look into it.

I just had another thought. Tasker might do this for you. Instead of suspending, tasker can shut everything off and blank the screen with maybe a button press. Then when you touch the screen, everything is turned back on, and the screen lightens up as well. You will certainly lose more battery this way, but if the iphone is doing this, it must be the same there.
i used to use widgetlocker and it gives the option to unlock from any hardware key.
However i am using nolock and hence do no have a lock screen which is even better.
Suspend wake on a swipe or one of the soft keys would be great. The hardware button on my touch hd was getting difficult to press towards the end of an 18 months contract. My girlfriends went completely she had to remove the bit on top of the button and press in with the stylus to power on.
So anything to prevent adidonal wear on the streaks button would be a warm welcome

Using the soft keys the wake the phone is risky.
Its very easy to.press on the soft keys when they r in the pocket.

I came across this by accident
I installed screen suite locker to replace normal lockscreen but old lock screen kept coming up too, so I downloaded no lock to disable default lockscreen completly.
Works just how I wanted it portrait lock screen no default lockscreen, but now camera, volume & normal power button wakes up the streak
"menu unlock" from the market works perfectly. Its a black icon with pale grey horizontal lines

I have the iphone. I can't unlock the screen without touching either the home button or the power button on the top of the phone. Besides, wouldn't the phone keep turning on if touching the screen woke it up?
No because it's capacitive only your hand (ideally) would wake it up.
I'm going to try these solutions, because I do not want to cause anymore wear on the buttons.
Try the volume rockers, mine, froyo is powering up the screen. As for the lockscreen app i have simply lockscreen. It's not so fancy, but it does a simple good job. This combination, makes the Streak wake up with volume rockers, and no other key like camera or capacitive buttons. Also, incomming call screen is in portrait, even if I let the phone down on the table.
Chers,
I hate the lock screen and don't why we cannot disable it.
Anyway, I use the app calls No Lock, by Bod from Android Market. Now, I can simply use the volume up or down button to turn streak on and without the lock screen.
Instead of even the volume rockers, can we not do something with just the three capacitive buttons ?
Try "lock 2" from the market paying of fro free You can unlock with all the button and then slide with your finger.
I use it from whe I had my dream and it works very well
I was wondering if theres a patch of some sort that would remove the longer vibration when holding down the capacitive buttons (home, menu, back) keys. its kind of annoying that when i hold home to multitask it goes zzz. ZZZZZZ. instead of just one vibration.
im on steve's 1.6 and when i hold home to go to recent apps, it only vibrates once, so not sure about you or what rom you are running
I'm on stock 2.2 318

mine does it one time as well, 1.6.1 dj steve's, try disabling the haptic feedback under spare parts
If you go to Settings, Sounds and disable Haptic feedback, only does the "ZZZZ" without the first zz, zz.
Still, would be nice if it just did short vibration (zz) instead of long ZZZZ.
Thx. Fixed
Ok, I now have it completely silence. Just lift your finger just before the buzz! So not even a second.
I frequently use my Epic 4G as an audio player/streamer. I've been using a widget to prevent the screen from sleeping entirely which was all fine and dandy, except that I now have Pandora's GUI burned into the bottom of my phone. I absolutely hate having to press the physical power button to wake my screen and then unlock it just to skip a track or whatever. Does anyone know of an app that would allow the screen to black out, but then awaken via touch? Ideally with no lockscreen, but to the lockscreen without the power button would even be heaps better than having to deal with that physical power key on the side of the phone.
Does anyone else's power button and home button creak on the Galaxy S 3 when you don't press the respective buttons head on? It seems to me that when pressed on the side (for the home button) and the bottom (on the power button) it creaks occasionally. I absolutely love it, but sometimes it can get a bit bothersome, in my opinion. Just wondering if it is normal, or just my unit so I can exchange it? Thanks!
