Hi, I'm on the official Samsung update and wanted to know if there is an app or Something that would allow the volume rockers to wake the phone instead of the power button. Searched the play store but all I could find was the "proximity sensor" wake apps but I find they drain too much battery.
Have you guys found any tweaks??
FOUND flashable zip!
found a thread with a flashable zip, do you know if it works with our phone? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987669
If a mod isn't for your phone you stand a good chance of borking your phone.
If you don't mind me asking, what's so great about volume wake?
its just to prevent damaging the power button from over use, if im able to wake using volume rockers it evens the button usage

For those with the sticky power button issue that'll cause boot loops.
Have you found a solution yet? I tried to modify the key layout files and set all Volume Up/Down to wake, no luck.
Thanks

hey im using an app called "tap tap app", i wake using the proximity sensor and you turn the screen off by using a widget button. not exactly what i was looking for but its been doing a good job of reducing my power button usage.
Doesn't work for me, even after I select "invert sensor". Anyway, thanks

been having a problem with the 2.2 roms. I install them and the screen will go to sleep during a call, and the only way to wake it up is to either hang up the call or plug in the charging cord. The phone will wake normal when i flash back to a 2.1 rom. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix on froyo roms.
Enable trackball to wakeup under cyanogen settings or something like that.
press send + vol up (or vol down, believe it's vol up) to wake up phone. mods please move to q&a thread. thanks and hope this helps.

You almost had it.
Press and hold vol+, then while holding that, press and release the send button. That will wake the screen without disturbing the call.
push this to system/usr/keylayout

sorry 5thagent. remembered seeing the instructions somewhere around. thanks for the correction! :-( i tried. I had forgotten about the other fix.
was just about to post on this today. thx for the infoz
Also... all you should have to do is pull the phone away from your face and it should turn back on almost immediately. I've never ever had this problem lol

I agree that should normally work,but at least for me when using speaker phone I can't just move the phone to wake it. using trackball wake/unlock works fine though

What is that and what does it do?
How hard is it to program the ROM so that the screen turns back on when you touch it?

That works but if you have your phone on the table in front of you w/speakerphone enabled while some robot is giving you 5 minutes of number equations, the phone will timeout. When the trackball wake option is selected in CyanogenMod settings/input settings, it will wake the device after you've manually turned the phone off but it doesn't wake the screen after it's timed out. I have been trying to use tasker as a way around this problem but I haven't been able to successfully write a working profile

I'm bumping this thread because I have the same problem but my volume rocker is broken/missing so it is very difficult for me to press vol up/down. I need to use a pen tip or needle, which I usually do not have readily available.
Is there any other option out there for me? Why can't I use the trackball or just the Send key????????????
If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it.
FYI, I'm running GSB 1.4 (CM-7 Gingerbread based ROM).
edit: Some users on the CM forums said that pressing the Menu or Home keys worked, but that doesn't work for me. They were on CM6, so maybe that doesn't work in CM7, I don't know.

I seem to recall that in CM settings, you can configure what buttons can wake the phone up. You should be able to set it to the trackball.
Hi, my girlfriend just got this phone, and her being a girl she is not wanting me to root the phone cause she thinks its bad... lol. But she wants to be able to use the volume rocker to wake up the phone. I think it is a huge design flaw that you are supposed to use that tiny recessed button to wake your phone IMO anyways. I searched, but it doesn't look like it can be done without rooting... can it? I only found mods for rooted phones. Please let me know, she hates the phone if she has to keep using the little power button to wake.
Is there any other solution to waking the phone without the power button?
Thanks guys!!
I'm not 100% positive, but fairly certain that it is not possible. In order to make a change like this, you are going to need to change up some of the underlying framework which can only be done by installing a zip/script via recovery.
Widgetlocker in the android market. The option is called "easywake". The app does tons more than allow volume rocker wake up! Its one of those must have apps.. no root required.
+1 for WidgetLocker...Waking the phone via the volume buttons is the main reason I use the app. I can long press the search button to lock the screen etc...using the "Screen Off and Lock " app.

My device's power button is broken. I'm able to get it powered on and onto the homescreen. The problem is I cannot unlock my screen unless I plug it in. I want to remap my volume up+volume down keys to "power" or "unlock screen". My device is rooted.
How can I accomplish this? Thank you.
Also, does anyone know why my power button would randomly stop working? I didn't install any new software. And it doesn't seem physically broken.

Update:
The keymap file for Cyanogen is in /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl. I'm using root explorer and text editor to view it. Apparently WAKE_DROPPED means wake up the screen and WAKE means do not. I changed volume down to WAKE_DROPPED and rebooted but it didn't do anything.
First, keep it to one thread. Second, there's an option under 'Settings -> Display' to wake the screen with the volume rocker. As for the Power button failing, I'd say warranty or if you're feeling handy, there's the DIY option. idk where you'd find parts though.

Thanks a lot. The problem was I'm not able to wake my screen. Thanks so much! About the DIY: nothing feels physically broken. I'd probably end up replacing a ton of parts to no avail.
edit: is it possible that any type of software could change this? I'm not an expert on this stuff. Could it possibly be caused by the Kernal or something?
note: I've recently updated to cyanogenmod jelly bean. 4.1.1. My power was broken before that, i was actually upgrading to see if it would remedy the problem.
edit: it seems that the screen doesn't wake when using the volume rocker after a certain period of inactivity. like 1 minute.

If you run Ktoonsez Siyah 4.3.3 kernel there is a swipe to wake option in extweaks - no need for power key to wake screen.

Is that kernal compatible with cyanogenmod 4.1.1? How can I find out things like this?
Also, How can i circumvent my broken power button in CWM? I can't select any options.

Yes, use extweaks app from the play store to enable swipe to wake.

Hello, like the title says, if any of you have the white lg g3, what are you guys doing to prevent the white buttons from getting dirty?
Not touching it..

With the tap to wake feature, I only use the power button to manually put it to sleep, so minimal interaction with the buttons here too.

I use tap to wake and tap to sleep and I never use the volume keys either so count me in as another who never uses any of the buttons on the back.
Hi all,
doesn anyone know an App that allows our Moto E to wake up using the volume buttons?
I triev Power Button to Volume Button app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teliapp.powervolume) but it turned out to be a battery killer

You can use xposed module for it
And many ROM supported it already

I forgot to state that I prefer not to root the phone at this stage, but I did some research and found that rooting the phone and installing the xposed module is the best solution. (Reason: apparently changing the binding of a physical key at system level requires root permissions and existent apps actually listen all the time for the key in background, causing battery drain.)
Thanks for the hint anyway
I think its in wrong section.. please read before post.. thread reported
Finally I made the choice to unlock the bootloader and root the phone.
I went straight installing xposed and gravity box module. Applying all my customizations, including the volume button wake up and the double tap standby, was a absolutely a breeze.

Why don't you try "Pocket Lock" app which uses the sensors to wake up...!!
