[Q] Unlock by pressing capacitive buttons/trackpoint?

Hi guys, I got the HTC Legend, and I'm finding it a pain to have to press on the lock button every time to wake it from sleep and so I want to be able to wake it by pressing on the optical trackpoint or any of the capacitive buttons as well.
It really frustrates me sometimes if I forget I've turned it off already and I try to wake it, so I press the power button, and it boots up instead and I have to wait for it to turn on only to turn it off again.
If anyone knows any solution please help me. It's driving me insane. On the iPhone I could just press the home button to wake and it wouldn't turn on the phone if it's off. I'm on stock Froyo 2.2 with sense UI, not rooted. Would prefer not to root and definitely not install a new ROM as it is not my phone and I don't want to mess with it too much. Thanks.
you could use an app like widgetlocker to achieve this. link to market
I'm curious, how the phone turns off when u press the power button to unlock the screen.
Do you have the lock screen setup? It should not be able to turn off untill screen is unlocked then the power button pressed and held again.

Trackball waking cannot be done via froyo sense! If you are willing to root your phone then flash Cm 7.1 as your rom. Then you can go to settings to activate trackball waking.
Other than that you can look around the market for apps that allow this.

what I meant was to unlock the screen while the phone is on by pressing any button apart from the power button, because at night I turn off my phone (the normal way), then I forget if I've turned it off or not, so I press the power button again, and then the startup screen appears - Sh*t! so I have to wait for it to turn on again so I can turn it off.
So essentially I want to press the capacitive buttons or trackpoint so that
1. It will unlock the phone if it is on.
2. It will not turn on the phone if it is off

hmm thanks. But when I looked through the comments everyone finds it a huge battery drain... So I'd rather not.
Thanks for the suggestions guys but if anyone knows an app that can does this it'd be great! So frustrating!

Currently no app except for widget locker and some launchers allow this. The only other way is to root and flash.

I think what he is saying is that he can't check if the phone is off or not.
Why you don´t use the rom from blay0 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=866849)? It is based on HTC stock version and has several extensions and wake on trackpad. It is very stable and i had no problems with this rom in the last months.

Don't use SetCPU or anything else that changes min/max clocks until the latest patches make it into builds.
And search... This incompatibility is one of the most well known ICS issues.

RAZR Maxx Broken Power Button

My Power button quit working yesterday. I am trying to remap my volume button to wake the screen, and be the new power button. I can't seem to get it to work. I am rooted and I am using root explorer to edit the text.
I have found a number of apps that will wake my screen and some of them work okay, but I have to have lock screen enabled because of my corporate email, and once the screen locks, the apps don't work.
Also, I am worried that if my phone ever get's powered down (runs out of battery), I don't know how I would turn it back on.
Any advice???

I need a physical button. I'm rooted on Gingerbread and I want to update to ics but I can't figure out how to fastboot without a physical power button
There's a few apps in the store like 'quickboot' that'll allow you to boot into fastboot if rooted. Just remember for menus like recovery, you're likely to be stuck once you need to use the power button to select an option

Send it to service to get it repaired. It's pretty cheap for repairing a single button.

Weird screen bug/defect?

Hello everyone I'm experiencing a very strange issue. Whenever I press towards the top center of the screen sometimes my screen goes black as if I hit the power key and then when I press the home button it doesn't turn back on usually I have to press the power button once then one more time to get the screen to get back on. You have to squeeze or press down the screen firmly a little hard I'll be asleep its not normal to do that but regardless doing that makes my phone turn off and then not turn back on until I press the power key twice. The screen appears to be off and all black but the soft keys vibrate as if thescreen was on and use. Does anyone else have this type of problem when pressing down on the screen? Or has anyone else experienced this some other way and has some type of solution or should I exchange?

I don't have that issue I, only have like many users that little lag when waking the screen. The problem your describing sounds very abnormal. I would def. Check out an exchange option if you have it bro.

Software to Diagnose a Phone over USB

Is there any software or commands I could use to diagnose my phone over USB? The screen is black, even during boot (no logos), but the phone is still working in the background. The notification LED blinks normally, menu and back button lights up when pressed, and it even rings when someone calls, though I can't see who it is b/c of the black screen. The screen is not cracked or damaged, and I didn't drop it, so not sure why this is happening. I want to test the GPU or other components before I put down a lot of money for a new screen and it no resolve the issue.
Phone is a rooted SM-N910V that has been working great for 3 months.
Thank you!

Hi , try with key kombination .
1. Make sure your phone is OFF
2.Now Press toghether Vol + and power button and hold like that until second vibration (reboot)
3. If that doesn't work try with another combination .
Vol - and Power button
Vol + & Home button & Power button for about 10 second
Vol - & Home button & Power button for about 10 second
Good Luck

Thanks for the suggestions, though I have already tried all those plus other things.
I've left the battery out for over a day, removed sim card, held power button in to drain any residue power.
I'm lost as to why all of sudden the black screen. Hoping there's a way to test the phone to confirm if its the lcd or something else like the gpu chip. On a laptop you could plug a monitor in the vga port, don't guess phones have this option

I read that the phone was rooted so maybe that custom rom has some bug and that way you get black screen .
Try to flash him back to stock firmware and see if the problem is solved .
It is just rooted on the standard firmware, I didn't install any custom firmwares. But I was wondering if I could possibly reflash it from a backup I made with twrp. I cant get to recovery, well actually I could if I new the exact steps since everything works, I just cant see crap.
Is this even possible or is there another way to access twrp over the usb?
