Anyone seen/know a name of an app or toggle widget that acts like a power button? The case I bought, while nice, is hard to press the power button on the side. It would be nice to have an onscreen button to use.
search the market for an app called screen off. I bought and it works nice. You press the button and it turns off the screen and then after a couple of seconds the phone turns off.
Hi,
How to activate the "Home button" to turn on the phone?
With my Xperia Arc, I can turn on the phone with the "Home button".
With my Xperia S, it's impossible to turn on the phone with the "Home button"
I must use the power button on top, this is much less practical...
One idea ?
Very Thanks alot

There is NO way to activate it because it is not a physical home button. The home button will be functional when the O.S is loaded. On the other hand The Xperia Arc has a physical button to trigger the power on/off switch on the circuit board.
It's much better this way. Before I had problems with my X10 turning on in my pocket because of the home button being accidentally pushed.

Is most agree. I miss my home button wake up too.
Can it realy be true that it can't be software programmed to wake up on home button. Someone create a app that can do it. Or swipe all 3 buttons from left to right could be cool feature to wake it up. Why didn't do that.

very very good idea.. swipe left to right with all boutons!
I can't recommend wiget locker high enough for using the volume buttons or camera button for waking the phone - works perfectly.

Not necessarily true. The Nexus S home buttons were capacitive just like the Xperia but CM9 had an option to wake the device on with them.
It may well be just as possible on the Xperia, just needs someone to make it work like the CyanogenMod team did with the Nexus S
Wouldn't that be an additional drain on the battery to keep those buttons active during standby? Wake by volume keys would be far more useful, and do-able.

Power button - camera button - volume buttons... meh... it's still not the same as home button
It's more natural to press home button and then unlock the phone...

I agree and that was the bottom of my subject
If is done with the Nexus S, we must be able to do for our Xperia S...

I like using volume button because I can wake the phone up by one hand. With my small hand now press the power button by one hand is not comfortable.
Double click on volume button would be good too.
Can you try using another launcher ro check if volume buttons are responding when screen is locked...

Hello guys, for a long time I'm looking for the MOD that will add Screenshot button to Power Menu options.
Something like this but in that MOD there is no Screenshot button as I see. Can someone help me to find that MOD?
I'm running on HyperGalaxy ROM v1.7, JB XXDLI7 leak
So you can take screen shot of the power menu ? IT's not so hard to press Power button + Home button for 2 sec.
i love my girlfriend <3

for me, It's easier to push a button
I want to remap the power button so it toggles NFC when I long press it (only when the screen is on). So far every app I've found is unable to do anything with the power button. I'm using a rooted Lineage OS 18.1.

Try this
Button Mapper: Remap your keys - Apps on Google Play
Remap hardware buttons to launch any app, shortcut or action

Thanks, but that app doesn't work either. It says it can't modify the power button on the splash screen.
Would you want any other buttons, power button turns off the display so im not sure about NFC activating?

Lol, I know it sounds silly, but hear me out.
When you hold the power button the phone shows you a menu with the Power menu and, most importantly, card payment. As I don't want to keep NFC on all the time to avoid battery drain, I had an idea to turn on NFC every time I opened my Google Pay card payment menu (power button hold).
Ahh then you try finding an Xposed module?
You’ll find more chances of success in that way
