New to all this, and was wondering if there is a way to use something else to wake and put to sleep instead of power button. Looking for help!!! Can someone walk me thru what to do?
If the phone is on and charged you can plug it in to wake the screen and set the screen time out to something like 30 seconds to have it turn off. There is no tap to wake on this device so that maybe your only option.

Thank u for the answer, but cant always be charging. So is there any way to swipe to wake?

No. There is no form of "touch" to wake on the one max. No kernel support for that function. Don't necessarily need to leave it charging just plug in and unplug for the screen to come on

I use this app, a wave over the proximity sensor wakes up the phone and I have it set to go to sleep when I set it down on a flat surface. I also use screen off app when there's no flat surface

if you are willing to root your device, then you can install xposed framework and explore all the wonderful modules that work under the framework. then install the sense 6 toolkit module and enable the "wake with volume buttons" and map double tap on lockscreen and double tap on home and double tap on status bar to "screen off"... done!

BTW, mine did this before. It cost me $11 in parts. The power button is a removable ribbon cable.

how do I keep the TP from turning on while on the touchstone? I don't want a clock or pictures, I just want it dark in my room at night. I can turn off the power when I first set it on the dock but when its fully charged on pops the screen again. How can I disable this?
Thanks
install preware if you dont have it already, go to patches and look for charge only option. there's several to choose from. pick one you like and use.
I'm pretty sure if you hit the power button after exhibition mode starts it will turn the screen off for good. But what I did was install the minimum brightness patch so now when its in exhibition mode it is much darker and much less bothersome when trying to sleep. To install the patch you'll need preware installed.

Do you happen to know the name? I found one called Quick System Tasks and it locked up my tab. I looked through all the prepare apps and only found that one.

Are you using the Preware app on your Touchpad?
Preware -> Available Packages -> Patch -> Search -> Enter "Charge"
The search is started by tapping the magnifying glass in the top button, which brings up the keyboard. Type in "charge" (without the quotes).

Or when it receives any notifications for that matter. I've resorted to just keeping the cover on the HP case closed so it covers the screen when I leave it on the touchstone overnight.

If you're talking about the temp of the device, I'm not really sure. I installed the minimum brightness patch the second day I got it because it was way too bright to have as a bedside clock. I also have a case on it, but it doesn't feel warm when I take it off the stone. Also, the lowest brightness with the patch can only be set in the screen and lock app. You cannot set it from the drop down on the home screen.

uhhh im sure he is asleep by the time it fully charges.
i have a solution
1) put the charger and the touchpad into a box
2) tape the box up
3) put my address on the box
4) take it to the post office and send it to me
that should fix your problem

Im looking for a shorcut that will mimic or work the same as the physical power button.
PURPOSE:
1. to save the physical button.
2. to make my phone go into DEEP SLEEP since all apps like screen off dont make my phone go into deep sleep and drain my battery.
3. to make it as a gesture or something like that

from what? might as well save the phone and not turn it on... the power button was designed to take a lot of presses, I'm sure it can outlive your phone

+1 and saving power/home button is normal practice on iphone because it's to expensive also difficult to get it replaced.
But for samsung phones, I am not sure if it would be that difficult or expensive.
Thanks for the reply guys, but i found a way, i remap the power button into the soft key

I'm assuming he/she meant mute / DND the watch by pulling down from the 'home screen'. If so, yes. It will help with the gesture activation.
When I do it, the screen doesn't light up when at 45ยบ.
Like so: link
Thank you for the solution but I use the watch to wake me up by vibration at the morning. So mute it not help me . It would be better if we have an option in the firmware to switch on or off the movement wrist detection.
I have the opposite problem, I can't get my lg watch to wake up by moving it, I've tried different movements and nothing, the screen is set to be always on but the only way to wake it up from its dimmed state is to tap the screen.

If really nothing works and the watch is not muted you probably have a defect. Especially if this was the case from the moment on when you got it. Request a replacement from where you bought it.

Try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.procoit.wearmylauncher and activate the shower mode. It still vibrates but the screen is dimmed and won't turn on if you accidently touch it or move your wrist.
Godd idea, i will try.
I'm wondering if there's a way (app or manual edit of system files) to make the hardware buttons less used to keep them from getting soft
and for that I'm mainly focusing on the power button as it is frequently used, I have two ideas:
- taking the gesture from the new M8 which is by double tapping the screen, if you're a developer please tell me if it's possible to take that function from the M8 maybe edit it and make it work on the One Max!
- We have a great special thing called fingerprint scanner, and since it's not that good at identifying the owner's fingerprint but always works at identifying fingerprints of people, maybe we can use it to wake up screen by simply swiping the finger over it!
So here is my question and here are my ideas, if you have a good answer for me please share it in the comments!
Thanks XDA!
Also looking for a way to do it, but in my case the reason is my power button stopped working and the only way to wake the device is by plugging a charger. What could I use else before having it fixed by service?
for switching off i use nova launcher with the app "screen off and lock"
DoubleTap on screen now the max going off. (i do this with all phones)
But switching on with doubleTap i always searching how it can work. I have
no idea
my understanding is that without a modded kernel, turning screen ON with touchscreen taps is a no go.
an alternate is to use something like the xposed sense 6 toolkit feature "wake screen with volume buttons". granted it still uses hardware buttons, but at least the power button wont have to take as much "abuse" anymore.
for turning screen off, sense 6 tookit offers gestures on the homescreen. i have mapped swipe down to screen off.
i vaguely remember reading about another xposed mod that can map double tap on status bar to screen off.
just my 2 cents!
edit: i m using another xposed mod called "sense 6 lockscreen mods" that enables double tap to screen off on the lockscreen.

Try WTN by Wolandsoft. Works perfect for me. I was looking for a way to turn on the phone in the car while driving. This works perfectly.

Even better than WTN that I recommended. Just found this one last night. A lot smoother.
Is there any way to make the fingerprint scanner with the screen off ?? I know in iphones they have a mod in cydia to do it.... Is it possible to get the same thing here ?

Why on earth would you want that ?
And if it's possible, I guess it will drain your battery faster...

As said, if it would be possible...the battery will drain a lot faster as the screen will always be active/the system will perform wakelocks all the time.
But it's a good idea

That's what was generally said about double tap to wake, yet the phones that have this implemented, don't have drastically increased battery consumption because of it.
On the other hand, Samsungs half second delay after pressing home button, to wake after deep sleep (formerly just a "feature" of exynos devices, now with snapdragons as well) , is extremely annoying.
Don't see how would the screen always be active? Rather, the fingerprint sensor would be.

That's what I was thinking if iphones are doing it without any problem and lg is using their knock why can't samsung
I don't believe battery drain would be an issue, but how would you keep the phone in a state to be read?
With double tap to wake and swipe to wake surely the waiting for action state is already developed.
Other possibility could be pressing the home button and sweeping the fi gerprint scanner at the same time to unlock in one motion.

if the screen is off the fingerprint won't unlock and turn the screen off at the moment...... you have to press the home key wait for screen to turn on then swipe

I know. I talk about press (so the screen turns on) AND sweeping the finger at the same time.. This is working for me. I have to do a longer sweepe though.. And i have used all 3 finger setting to the same finger, probably a bit different portion of the finger every time..
Try it.. It works for me. Always unlock with one sweeping and pressing at the same time..
The disadvantage, i can unlock only with one finger.
The problem for me is that i have the home button to wake switched off using wanam exposed module. The phone was active in pocket way too many times.
