I have to give great credit to No2Chem over at PPCGeeks for putting together a solution to the issue with our CDMA landscape keyboard backlights shutting down after 5 seconds.
I diligently worked on CAB file that keeps the keyboard on all the time when the keyboard is open, and shuts off when you close it.
Here is the link to the Thread.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=44773
Donate if it works for you, and you like it.
Didn't work for me...
OUTSTANDING!
It requires a soft reset before it will work.
That explains it... I lost all my stylus so cant reset anymore
shutting off the phone is like doing a soft reset... hold the power button in for 4 seconds then it will confirm shutoff, then power on you just did a soft reset.

you can use a paperclip, or ballpoint pen, or just download the softreset CAB installer and that will give you a button under programs to do a software soft-reset, no need to press the button

Thank you for posting this. Never thought I'd actually see it work!

At first I was gona correct you for correcting him, but then I remember the TP comes with two styli. haha
Finally, I can use my keyboard in the dark with fear of hitting the wrong key! By the way, is there a way to stop the keyboard from coming up on the screen every time I have to type something?!
Anybody else get the issue of the front keys staying on when the keyboard is in?

Yeah i wasn't necessarily correcting him, I just knew it sounded funny, but so does styli. was just wondering what you call those!
if you need a stylus just go in and ask, I bet they give you one. I get so much free stuff from a friend bc they can take what people return. I get battery covers and batteries. I have 3 sitting on my dresser now.

It seems I remember a setting in advanced config for "SIP Auto Deploy" that did the trick for me. I know I got it fixed (except in Opera), I just don't remember exactly how. So there's an answer out there if you look hard enough.
Can anyone explain why this interferes with the keyboard sliding sounds? Right now, if I use this, the sliding sounds won't work, but if I remove this, they work just fine.
i second that.....

Was recording Ron Paul at an event and accidentally pressed the top button. Lo and behold it quit the camera app and I instantly lost 20+ minutes of footage. Way to go HTC!
This should serve as a warning to those LTE users out there, if you're recording something, don't accidentally press any buttons!

Why would you be pressing buttons when you're recording stuff? I think that having things turn off when you press the power button is a good thing...isn't that the idea behind it?
Pressing the wrong buttons is not a manufacturer's problem -- they didn't hide the button, it's not a secret. That's one of those PEBDAU (Problem Exists Between Device and User -- sue me, I can't think while at work). Sucks that you lost footage on Ron Paul though.
As I already stated in the OP, it was accidental. A friendly warning "are you sure you want to close this while recording?" would have been nice... or just save the footage and then close. Instead, it closed abruptly and without warning and happily discarded the last 20 minutes of footage. Not cool!

Highlighted in red. You made a user error, and you're blaming it on the phone manufacturer.
That's like driving a car, and you want to stop, but instead of the brake, you hit the gas, and then get upset at your car manufacturer.
That's like eating a sandwich, and you want to take a bite, but instead of putting it in your mouth, you shove it up your nose, and blaming your body for not chewing it.
That's like walking down the sidewalk, and you want to cross the street, but instead of turning left, you turn right, and blaming the people who laid the street.
I understand that it sucks, as I mentioned before -- unless the manufacturer does something completely opposite of how it's normally done (i.e. car maker switches gas and brake pedals / you eat through your nose / left becomes right) then don't get on them for it. Not their fault any way that you try to explain it. It should read something like this:
Was recording Ron Paul at an event and accidentally pressed the top button. Lo and behold it quit the camera app and I instantly lost 20+ minutes of footage. Way to go FINGERS! FML for pressing buttons!

They've pretty much always put their power button at the top. It's a popular place to put a power button. Not every phone does it, but the majority do.
Still sucks that you lost Ron Paul footage.

Crazy thing happened to me too, I was watching tv today and accidentally pressed the power button and my tv turned off. Sorry, couldn't resist, but the reason you lost your footage is because the camera app does not save your video to the sdcard until you press the stop recording button. So when you accidentally hit the power button all of the footage that was in the video cache was lost. I don't know if it would behave differently if you set you camera up for internal memory instead.

Your car analogy doesn't quite apply. It would be more like accidentally kicking it into reverse while driving on the freeway. The car should realize that's not an intended function while driving 80mph forward and not allow it. News flash, it does just that! Furthermore, the top button is not exclusively used to power off the phone. Even when you do want to power off the phone, it gives you a warning! It doesn't just instantly power itself off. So why should it be any different when doing other crucial tasks such as recording video (say in a more dire situation, evidence for use in court or something)?

Yes, precisely the reason of the rant. The software should at the very least save the video before closing, it's a pretty reasonable suggestion. Don't you think?

I think you are on to something that is a simple oversight by HTC. But more importantly why bother telling us your at a Ron Paul event. People not being sympathetic to your ineptitude is one thing, and trust me I can relate. However being a Ron Paul supporter may put a bigger target on your back than you just being silly with a smarty phone.

It applies fine -- the power button did it's function as it was designed to do. A quick tap closes the app or puts the phone to hibernate/sleep/whatever. A long hold gives the prompt to turn of the phone, reboot, etc. It's a power button -- that's what it does. if you pressed the power button and it started dialing someone, then I'd agree with you. If you pressed the power button and it turned the volume all the way up or down, then yeah, that'd be a problem. But it did what it's supposed to. You were the boob that pushed it, even if it was by accident. You threw the car into reverse (which you can do, but you shouldn't!) while you were driving 80mph down the road. The problem is not HTC, it's you. You were the one who used it inadvertently, and dun goofed up. I don't have that problem, and lots of people don't have that problem. There are plenty of times that I went to reboot the phone and then realized I didn't want to -- why can't I undo the reboot command? How about when they updated my phone at the store when I bought it, and it is now at hboot 1.15? why can't I undo that? Because it's not designed to allow for it. That's the way it works. Maybe the app should consider it's users before it allows you to use it, have you do some practice stuff first, so you can painstakingly learn how to keep your fingers away from the buttons. If your finger/thumb got in the way of the lense, would you be upset at HTC because the lense caught your finger? No. No, you wouldn't. Because you put your finger there, you did everything, it is and always will be your fault.

Make a camera app and figure in all the stupid things people do, then make the options to undo them. You won't win that battle, because they're always someone who will do something stupid.

Hey now. I like Ron Paul.
That being said, it's not an oversight, unless you think someone can figure all of the ways that things can be messed up. I want my phone to float and gently land on the ground if I drop it, but they don't have that. I want to not misdial numbers that I've called before, and I don't want my Spotify to play a song that sucks in the Radio option.
You're going just *a little* to far I think. I agree with you in general, this isn't an issue, a button was mispressed at an inopportune moment, and the consequences sucked.
With that being said, I'm sure it's not too much for HTC or android to prompt when in video mode recording and the power button is hit to show a prompt. Especially if it's not going to be saved.
Going in the opposite direction of your examples: wouldn't a more accurate comparison be anytime, on every OS ever, if you try to delete a file you're prompted with "are you sure you want to delete this file?" That's there to catch mistakes. If we never made mistakes, they'd never have to build that prompt into virtually EVERY operating system. And in essence, when you hit the power button while recording, you're deleting that video. From a technical standpoint, it's not saved, I know, just cached, but close enough.
Again, I do, in general, agree. But no reason to get so extreme explaining why the OP is a "boob"
With that being said, OP, you ARE a boob. Jk. I look at this post as more an fyi, but wouldn't consider this any sort of defect.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
If you're writing something up in Microsoft Word, and you turn your computer off, unless it autosaved (which it only does when you don't need it!!!) you're the boob that pushed the power button on the computer. Plenty of times that I've saved a file that was in the temp folder originally, and then when I went to open what I thought was the right file, none of my changes were there. I was the boob that didn't pay attention. Boob is not a horrible term -- stuff happens. We all do stupid things. I don't, however, hold Asus responsible for my goofs.
If I save a file on my USB drive and then I pull the drive out before it's done, that's my fault. It'd be great if it said something like "looks like you dun goofed, friend! Please insert the drive to try again!", but it doesn't. The file either ends up being corrupt or not there at all.
Just a minute ago, I was changing some groups on my work messaging Jabber client, and I goofed something. I did something to it that it's not supposed to do, and now I suffer the consequences of my actions. I take responsibility for my actions.
If there were a way to circumvent screw-ups (which we all do!!) then the world would be a better place. Unfortunately, there isn't a real "easy" button, or a "rewind life" button. You can't give for every situation, and when you start compensating for one person's screwup and not another, you end up having massive, unneeded bloat.
Do you really need text on your coffee cup to tell you that the hot cup of coffee you ordered is hot?
Do you really need a bottle of poison to have a warning label in small print that no one but an older child/adult can read tell you that it's bad for you to drink it?
I'll tell you something -- I learn from my screwups. Grab a burner while it's flaming hot, you can guarantee that I won't touch it again. If it automatically turned off when human skin comes close to it, that would be freakin' awesome, and the technology is available (with a few modifications), but they don't make stoves that way. Sucks, but that's the world.
And yes, it is a bit far, but...I didn't start off that way. If you want something to work that specific way, then sure, make it work. But I don't want extra weight on my app. I don't hit the button, and if I do by accident, then it's on me.

If I have something not saved in Word open, and go to turn off the computer, as Windows is shutting everything down it will prompt if I want to close Word without saving my changes.
And just like you learn from your mistakes, we'll all learn from the OPs mistake, bc he gave us all a warning.
I don't see why asking for a prompt is that big of a deal.
And I don't find the term boob offensive at all, but it's definitely not a compliment.

I can see the reason for wanting a warning message about closing when you power off in the middle of using the camera. That said, I have an actual camcorder; a dedicated device for taking video. It has an On/Off button. If I press that button the camcorder powers off. It appears to work as designed.
E: To clarify, it does this regardless of whether I'm recording at the time. There is an understood assumption that I knew that I was pressing the On/Off button. I have yet to lose footage due to this.

This is a small app I made, that does realy nothing other then call PowerManager.goToSleep.
This is normally not possible as DEVICE_POWER permission is only given to system apps, so will not work unless you have super user mod.

If I set screen timeout too short it will turn off while I'm reading something, if it's long enough I need to press the power button if I want to save battery, which is not very convenient. so this make it easy to put it to sleep

Only the sleep functionality of power button (short press), nothing to do with wakelocks oher then overriding any that are held at the time it is pressed, just as the power button does.
My mom would love something like this. She hates the powerbutton on her P, and I do too lol
I tried a few similar apps from play store, but most of them seemed to drain battery (not going to sleep properly?) or just cause freezes and other funny things. One of them actually completely locked up my One S, forcing me to go into recovery to uninstall it lol
So, question is, will this drain battery or cause funny issues? Or is it simply a 1:1 replica of the powerbutton?
Also, possibly slightly offtopic, but this(or super user mod) isnt working on ICS is it?
Ive been away from android stuff for almost a year now, so most of my devices are quite outdated software-wise
@Goatshocker
As I've said in the OP it realy does nothing, so no battery drain waht so ever.
It will work on (almost) any android version, providing it is "granted" the DEVICE_POWER permission, either by signing it with ROM key or if you have bypass this permission check like super user mod does.
As for the super user mod, it might work if you mod it for ICS yourself, I'll check ICS services.jar.
EDIT: I've looked at ICS services.jar and the code look about the same so I'm guessing you can mod it.
Aight, sounds good.
I found a lot of other interesting stuff that requires JB, so Im gonna go ahead and update it to JB.
Thanks for looking though.
@Goatshocker
A bit OT too, but if you realy hate the power button that much, I have another lil app I made, that turn the phone on waving the hand over the proximity sensor.
This does cause some battery drain, about 3% of total on my phone according to battery stats.
I know there are other apps that do it, but for some reason they hold a wakelock (at least some of them) while mine let the phone deep sleep, and all you need to do to stop it is click it in the notification tray.
It does not require any mod, and should work on any device.

guess i have to help you. knock code is supposed to make it so instead of double taping on the center of the screen to turn it on which is how it works now, you can have multiple combinations of knocks to turn on the screen. which is what the hand was trying to show you in the video with all the different combinations. that's where they get "knock code" from. the combinations of knocks is the code.

I thought the exact same thing. The question is also how complex the taps can be. Feels like there is a bit of a dangerous balance between having some security and actually being able to unlock the phone.
looking forward to seeing someone port this over to g2. the g pro 2 firmware(F350S) has been released and will eventually trickle down to us.. then someone should be able to port the feature.

I'd say the best option would be to use the Knock Code combination as a straight unlock, bypassing the lock screen.
OR
Use the Power Button / DoubleTap to turn it on, dump to the lockscreen, where you'd have to swipe or enter a code like normal.
I like just double tapping anywhere though. Sometimes I pull my phone out and it's upside down or I'm using my other hand which would be awkward. I wonder if the taps would be relational to each other vs orientation of the phone. If you had to make sure it was right-side-up all the time, it would get annoying.
its so unique, i want it on my N4
people who sad about double tap; pls look for the cpu undervolting and min mhz values. sensitiviy of double tap (or tapping scrren) related about it
That's one beautiful phone. Hopefully there'll be a VZW variant before too long and I can get a new LG Flex.
Hi there,
This should probably go into a more general section than for this device, but since this is what I have, I'd like to hear if I'm the only one.
Have to ever handed your phone to your kids, or someone else, either for them to see something on it, or for the kids to play. But after a second or less, they have accidentally pressed one of the soft buttons in the bottom, navigating away from what they were to do/see.
People used to iPad/iPhone with no (or at least one physical) button, does not handle an Android with these soft buttons very well.
So my suggestion, e.g. for you @neXus PRIME, is to implement a feature similar (not really) to Sweep2Wake, that locks these soft buttons. Simply render them inactive unless you sweep them.
One could then discuss whether they should automatically lock again, or if the locking should be done manually.
BR,

Interesting idea. I don't know if he's developing on this device anymore though. Lets see if we can get Sweep2Wake working fully first.

He stopped developing for this device not long ago because of phone upgrade...

I had a go at implementing your feature (which I have already found useful).
