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,
All previous iterations of android phones could be unlocked without using the touchscreen, eg. by tapping the menu button twice. Problem is that the menu button is capacitive on the Nexus. You can't press it with gloves, nor can you slide unlock the screen.
The trackball was useful because you could minimally operate apps with it, like skipping tracks in the music app..
Could it be possible to develop an alternate unlock mecanism, such as drawing a large circle using the trackball ?
I look forward to not having to take off my gloves to skip tracks when skiing
Use your nose jk it would be nice to have another way to unlock.
Or even map it to the volume button (while still requiring the slide-to-unlock) and I'd be happy as a clam. The power button is just hard to reach for some, sometimes.

...always looking out for the dwarfs of the world. very nice of you!
I'd be happy to be able at least wake up the phone with the trackball!
That would be perfect to me...i would assume its just some directory setting..does anyone know how to achieve this?

I did actually contemplate that, but my pride talked me out of doing it on a crowded ski slope.
Probably my biggest con for the phone...unlocking it requires pressing the power button. Someone please hack this!
I'm trying to find the way to wake up with the trackball, but not found
I want to group same number or contact on call log (like as Iphone) also
This is a fantastic idea. I am honestly worried about wearing out the power button. I don't find this a flaw with the nexus, but I would love the option to turning on the screen with one tap and unlocking the phone with a second tap. I know this will make a lot of people happy. can someone please do it?
i'd love a "trackball-on" feature - the g1 could be activated with every button on it.
this was good to unburden the power-button.
There is an app that doing that...Lock 2.0
rename Lock 2.0.zip to Lock 2.0.apk

It costs money, but if you buy the ICE Lockscreen (By appventive), it lets you wake up the screen with the volume rocker. Its also a good thing to have just in case you get into an accident or something happens to you.
This is a feature I have wanted to see since I received the N1 ... I would love to see a Trackball -On feature ......... almost like, I hate to say it .... but how the iphone unlocks.

Then Lock 2.0 would be ideal for you.
I have always hated how we need to press the power button to lock and unlock this thing. Makes me feel like I have an iphone. My G1 and mytouch had the power button at the bottom so it was not a problem.
If I could develop the app I would, but unfortunately I do not know how.

Edit: I just tried it. Even the trackball works!
Update: It's buggy. Doesn't work every single time. Sometimes you'll have to press Power first.
Does this prevent the phone to sleep?
i just tried lock 2.0 and i guess it does the job but its so hideous! none of the themes are formated for the N1. so the background will only reach 75% but it does allow you to turn the screen on via volume switch. if they can do this, then im sure someone else can do this too. idc if i have to pay, i just want my normal 2.1 lock screen and just be able to use the volume or trackball. someone make this happen please! if we ask enough it might just happen
Tried Lock 2.0. Its ok, seem to have some bugs. password protect is a joke. If you press the trackball to wake up, all you have to do is tap the home key and it goes home bypassing the lock screen. You can do that with or without the password protect on. I think it needs some work to be compatable with the nexus one.
Even better if someone could create something, a device, or something so that I could unless my N1 with only the power of my mind itself! thnik2unlock.apk kgo
I use "screen mode widget" from the Market
It is a weird problem. Not a killing one, but still it's absurd.
How would I know that my phone is sleeping (standby) or completely shut down (off)?
You may say, just press the power button on backside. But if I do that, that's going to turn on the phone anyway if it was off.
I want to know without turning the phone on whether the phone is actually off or not.
Any idea guys? Any way to find out?

When you press shortly on the power botton- if the phone is sleeping the screen will turn on to the lock screen, if the phone is off it will turn on to the red M initial screen.
That is a really weird question, why should you ask it? if you turned your phone off it is off, if you just turned the screen off it is asleep (shhhh, don't disturb him :silly: )
:cyclops:
I don't want to disturb him, that's what I want.

If the phone was sleeping, I would know as it will show lock screen when I press the power button. But if it was off and I press the power button, it will turn on the phone. And I don't want that. I just want to know whether the phone is off, and if it is off I don't want to disturb him.
In other phones, they have separate unlock button, here it is combined with power. That's the problem. But moto could have made long press for turn on and short press for unlock. I think there is no solution to my problem. :crying: Thanks anyways.

Call your number?
Plug in the headset and press the headset button?
Plug in the charger?
Pair it with wifi/bluetooth and see if connection is alive from paired device?
I'm sure there are hundreds of other creative ways to find out whether the phone is off or on standby without pressing the power button.

I know what you mean, like in the Nokia 700 (or any symbian phones), there are two seperate buttons, where the lock button does not switch on the phone, but instead the power button does. I know some Android devices need a long press to switch on, while a short press does nothing while off, but Motorola doesn't use this "feature".

If you use a CM based rom you can set the volume rocker to wake the phone. If you use a blur based rom you can install an app from the play that does the same.
:cyclops:
Thanks!

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
Hello everyone.
My power button suddenly stopped working. I'm running a Honor 7 (PLK-L01) with android 6.0 with emui 4.0.1. I'm not rooted. It has always worked before, but now it doesn't function if I press it. Short presses to wake the device, long presses to get the boot menu, it al doesn't work. I'm afraid that if my battery dies, I won't be able to turn my device on at all. Are there more people with this problem, or are there people who have a solution? I hope it's just a software problem, but I don't know how I can be sure if it is a software or a hardware problem.
I hope someone can help me.
Okay, it started working again. As soon as I pressed my volume buttons it responded again, like it was triggered by it or something.
Volume buttons and power button are very close together so maybe some kind of dirt got inside and stuck them.
yes, most probably some malfunction due to obstucles or small particles like dust,
its best once you get it cleaned
Service center is your friend to get it cleaned.
Yeah, could do that. But the closest service center is like 100 km from where I live ?

To avoid wear and tear in my power button, I use double tap to lock.
