It used to work like that for me, but since I upgraded and rooted with KG5 it stopt working. I haven't flashed back stock kernel since the yellow triangle doesn't bother me at all.
Anyone else had this issue?
edit:
after reboot it worked again.....
Hello guys. At first i´m so sorry for my bad english, so i´ll show you a video of my problem.
Phone - HTC Hero, Android 2,1

It will not go to sleep mode when pressing the end/power key. But it still takes phone OUT of sleep mode, but now I have to wait for the screen timeout instead of pressing the button again.
I tried to find answer to my question, but i failed... I tried Reboot, Spare Parts - i don´t know if it worked properly, Hard reset, but the power button still not working properly.
Thank you! Marty

Try to restore your phone to the default, or try to install a custom rom

Now i did a ROOT and i try to flash in some ROMs but it still not works + it cancels my outcoming and incoming calls...
Sounds like you have a failing power button.. like I do.
It's a real pain in the ass... been looking for solutions for quite a while, besides physically replacing the circuit board the button is on...
I know this is old but for anybody researching the same problem... after trying MANY different apps for taking over power button tasks, the only real solution was to buy a replacement "Flex Cable" assembly on eBay. Takes some bravery to install but everything works now.
But that's just my experience.
I suppose that the simplest way out id button remapper that you can find hear at xda.
By using such software you can easily turn any of the other physical keys of your device into the power button.

True, and they did work once the phone was up and running. However, when something went wrong on my rom and I needed to get into recovery to re-flash... I was SOL.
Yes, remapping is applied only after the kernel is loaded... So remapping is quite useless if the phone is switched off.
When I updated to ICS the other day, I started having problems. First of all, my phone is laggy as a mtf. When I try to text, the inputs are slower than I can type and programs take awhile to load. I also cannot screenshot anymore. I tried to home + power button and volume down + power button, but nothing works. I tried restoring my phone in hopes that it would remedy the problem, but it did not help. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

To fix your lagging phone, put a custom ROM on it.
Screenshot, IDK. Vol down and power has always worked. Your holding it wrong?
Try holding the volume down button and power for a second or so

Nothing works. :/ Shouldn't it not be laggy at all?

Go to settings > developer options > transition animation scale> adjust.
The smaller the number the faster
1)Yes the screen shot capability still works. Its user error in your part. 2)what do u mean "it shouldn't be laggy at all" what are u expecting from a bloated carrier release?

No, my screenshots do not work. I have tried all methods and it does not work.
Is there anyway that I can downgrade to GB?

Honestly you're the only person who hasn't been able to do it so that leads us to believe it is user error

Shouldn't it be "power button + home button"?

It was when I was on GB, but supposedly it has changed to Volume Down + Power Button. (Does not work for me.)
After update from GB to Ics via kies... factory reset your phone... everything would be fine...

If it's that much of an issue, there are apps in the play store.

no. All ics ROMs use the current Google standard of vol down and power, afaik. Power and home was a Sammy convention on GB
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk 2
Did you try pressing both the power and home buttons at the same time and holding them in for a good four or five seconds? It may take a bit longer to activate since you are having performance issues.
The key is to HOLD the vol down + power AT SAME time... Ultimatum is home + power only ICS ROM I have found that on.....

You have a lot of issues and even on a stock room just save your texts through SMS backup and restore get a copy of titanium backup sync your accounts backup your contacts to your sim, pull out your SD card and do a factory reset clean install of ics then load it back up test it before you re install all your apps and stuff to be sure its correct. Even something as simple as flashing and update can and will have issues that can usually be fixed just starting over also since your on stock save how you have your apps set up I hate when they arnt organized. Screen shot it will work unrooted I think

I have had the same problem many times. In my case, it was caused by the fact that I press power first and volume down next. That works most of the time, but sometimes it just leads to lowering the volume.
When I press both buttons exactly the same time, it works always. (For me at least)
Im looking for a way to add 'Volume rocker to wake' function to my HOX+ its rooted and running AR 6.2. I know it might need some coding which I have very little experiance with so if it involves that a "Fools" Guide to do it would be greatly appreciated.

Both Viper roms have this option inside tweaks, you can wake phone using VOL UP and/or turn it off using VOL DOWN..

There is obviously a bug by using the ViperX+V1.0 ROM with the Viper Kernel...
After a few seconds, the ROM doesn't react on the volume rockers, they seem to be deactivated at some point..

Okay, the problem has something to do with Titanium Backup Pro!
Make sure you dont freeze HTC Media Link and Personalization!
I did it for hiding the Buttons in the App-Menu.
After rebooting my HOX+ the whole Sense Workspace was gone - nothing showed up, even after a few reboots.
Then I reactivated all freezed Applications in Titanium Backup Pro.
Now the volume rockers work proper for wakeup!
To threadstarter:
The Venom team done awesome work!
Get the ViperX+ ROM and re love your phone
just amazing!
Thanks.
Is there any way to set one of the physical keys as the camera button?

I don't understand why you would want to replace one of the physical buttons... You do KNOW we ONLY have volume buttons, home button and a power button? Right?...

Sounds like you're having a bit of "diarius" of the brain! now that's smart!
Seriously not sure you would want to do that but the menu button held down will get you to Google now so if it were possible I would start there.

The VGA camera in the front isn't very clear; gotta turn the phone around to take a good pic. Voice command doesn't work well outside. I was thinking of something like holding the power button while the camera app was open would = snap a pic instead of shutting the screen? :highfive:
Camera Zoom FX is a camera app. You can configure the volume up/down buttons as a shutter. There is also an app on the Play Store called Volshutter Camera, which allows you to configure the volume keys to activate the shutter.

Hello mensrius,
This is quite amazing, I am already using this feature with my p765 factory JB rom v20a. Pressing volume button (no matter up or down), while having stock camera app open, phone sets focus and snap a picture . May be you haven't tried it or this feature is missing in p769
