hi there, did you ever find out a solution for the depressed power button?
You can use gmd gesture control app for locking. But it doesn't work for unlock.

Hi all!
During test of android rom "darkstone" I noticed that, with the lock screen, the physical keys are enabled anyway while there is an incoming call.
There is a program like "InCall Lock" for wm?
thanks!

Do you mean when youre on the lockscreen and you press I think either the back or windows button it unlocks the phone??? Cuz I hate when that happens, is there anyway to stop that from happening?

no, i mean that i can answer with physical key to an incoming call even if my phone is locked...
in hd2 with wm there is a program that avoid this (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=612899), I was wondering if there is something similar with android.
r.
nothing about this issue?
Reopened per request from member stating that issue affecting other builds also.
Peace,

Is there a solution for this issue yet?
I have tried several (sense) builds and on every one I can answer (or reject) a call by pressing the buttons instead of unlocking the screen first.
That is annoying when wearing the phone in the pocket.
On none-sense builds (Default Android lock-screen) I found out something astonishing:
If the screen is locked and the display is turned on I can unlock the device by pressing the windows-key...
Can anybody confirm this issue?
That's not an issue, it's a feature
On android phones you can unlock the phone using the 'menu' hardware key. With our builds, the windows key is mapped as the 'menu' key.
So that's why you can unlock the phone using your windows key

HI
I think that what he is looking is that if you have the phone is you pocket and you get a incall, you don't want to answer/cancel the phone because you accidentaly push the "answer or cancel hardware button"..
Is there a way to dissable the hardware buttons when the phone is locked??

Yes there is! Pull em out your device when locking!
Nah stupid joke, really don't know mate. Didn't even know about this issue, will test it out tonight and report my findings.
Anybody found a solution yet?
Don't know if its just me, But the power button and vol Control buttons are getting harder and harder to register as time passes by, Normal presses on these buttons don't work now,
For me i have to press very hard on the power button to actually register a press. I am worried that someday i will be forced to send it to the service center and its not even an year into this phone.

U should use alternatives like quick reboot and have a shortcut for reboot and shutdown on home screen ,which can help reduce stress on power button.

Sorry ,but i make a mistake here ,its not quick reboot ,its quick boot by sirius applications ltd.
yeah , kinda worried about that too
for lock the device , u can download Screen off & Lock from market
and for reboot , reboot to recovery , i prefer to use terminal emulator
Shrug. The minimal warranty for similar issues is 2 years here in EU. Dunno about other parts of the world.
This it's just a entry level android...most of us will upgrade to high end androids soon
I know most of u guys agree with me
it's called button savior
Screen Off and Lock by Katecca/Tools
Try this widget from the market. works great on the optimus One.
Hello guys. At first i´m so sorry for my bad english, so i´ll show you a video of my problem.

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

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.
As Canvas HD has only one power button to lock or unlock screen,.. is there any other method to unlock screen inorder to avoid damage to power button,. i know with screen lock app and widget we can manage to lock how about unlocking? if has some idea or application please do share

Use screen wake up app from Google play and enjoy locking unlocking like s4 using proximity sensor.

that's a very remote possibility i don't think the power button would get damaged that easily. if it really bothers you, you could use a hard case for your phone to protect it from damages. However if that doesn't convince you, then, i'll let you know how to unlock without the power button.
Notice that your phone has sensors on the front? You can use that to unlock the phone.

But I still don't know how will you turn on the phone in the first place if your power button is destroyed If I were you and my power button is damaged, I would buy a new mobile
Keep alarm so it will ask whether to switch on handset or not. I used this method on my nokia 5800 when its power on switch was damaged. This method can be followed on Micromax a116 also.

Hi. I'm having a trouble with my LG G2 mini. When I get the phone in my pocket, unintentionally, I hold the power off button and even when the phone is blocked, if you hold the power off button, it restart. Sometimes I'm walking on the street and I hear the booting sound from my pocket and I'm like... WTF?
Someone know how to deactivate this function? is a pain in the ass.
Thanks and sorry for my REALLY bad english
I've never noticed such thing as restarting, but I have similiar problem with Volume+ and Volume- - there's camera and quick note shortcuts by default and I can't get rid of them...
root -> exposed -> G2 tweaks box
There you can set the behaviour of the volume buttons.
Don't know if you can set power button, but I never had problems with it.
Yeah cool, but You have to pay to unlock those features.

So what?
You can buy a phone for a lot of money and tell us you can not afford a software for a few bucks?
Shame on you.
The developer spend a lot of time for it.
I simply prefer to spend my money on something, that I need more than that.
I buyed and works great with vol+ and vol- but not with power button. A shame, but hey, I have a great app to modify my phone [emoji2]

AFAIK long pressing of power button is not handled by the OS.
It works even when the device freezes or you tried to boot with a non working kernel.
Some kind of emergency restart that nags you.
I was very happy that it works this way while testing custom recoveries.
Ok now i'm having a new problem. If you deactivate de vol+/vol- function in the bloq screen if you press vol+ amd vol- at the same time for a few secods, the phone just can't start until you press the power button for a few seconds to restart it. I guess I will have to buy a case for my phone
