I bought a waterproof case for cycling, but with this case I cant wake the phone with the power button.. Is there a way to wake the phone with a home, menu or back button?

Nope, they are disabled while the screen is off.

Hi guys,
I have Clicky Home button - is it faulty?
By clickly I mean, it makes a unnatural sound when pressed, almost as if it sticking. The noise is noisy and not silent
The reason I have noticed this is because my brother has just had his delivered and its perfect on his. Do I have a faulty phone?
Your click is faulty. Nothing more I think it'd go away after pressing the button frequently.

I've had the phone for around 3 months, I doubt it will go away
Did you find solution? Could you replace your phone?
Hope you did!
Had my phone since they 1st came out and dont have any issues with the home button.
Has not changed at all. No loosening or strange clicking. I rarely use the power button but instead use the home button to turn on so it gets a good workout.

Mine is not like is loose, but is not as "firm" as the volumen rocker and the power buttom.
How about yours? Can you "shake" you finger over the Home and the button moves?
I'd say my home button is as snug a fit as the power and volume buttons but more sensitive to being pressed.

Since I got my note 2, my screen turns on relatively slow at times almost 75% of the time. My s3 almost always beats my note 2 when turning them both on. Is this how it is for any of you guys?

Lol you're saying the screen wake is slow because of the delay? If so, it's just delayed compared to the S3 and has no effect on performance. No, your phone is not defective.

I know it doesn't affect performance, but it does get kind of annoying when it happens most of the time.

This is a common occurrence and has been discussed many times in many posts. You're phone is not defective. This is just a quirk of this particular phone.

I normally start/wake my phone with the power button as i do not use a lock screen. This is the fastest way to wake your phone. Pressing the home button with a lock screen does take a little longer for me. It also takes me to the home screen when i have no lock screen instead of the app that was open, which is more annoying!

I do the exact same thing, I see no reason whatever to run a lock screen as these phones never pocket dial anymore.
If took me a while to realize that the power button returned to the app that was open before it went to sleep and the home button went to the home screen however.
I see what your saying about the delay. Maybe it's something they can fix in the kernel

Never thought of removing the lockscreen. Makes perfect sense with this phone. Of course, that's one less screen to enjoy designing for!
boo boo be boo
ok, I haven't had an HTC device in about 6 years, so I forgot if there is a way to turn the screen on, other than pushing the power button?
too many Samsung habits to break, but you can push the home button on Sammy phones to light the screen up.
thanks guys

well, we need mods for that and we don't have any for MAX currently.
HTC One has been having this feature of swipe to wake, volume to awake as as well as logo to awake. we will have to wait for devs to kick into action.
thanks!
I think there is an app in the app store that uses the proximity sensor to wake the phone, but not sure if it will work on this phone..
I found one in the app store
Auto Screen On
use the g-sensor, and when you pick up the phone, the screen is on!
use the "partial wakelock" option; this will use a light amount of battery, but to not have to push the power button, its worth it!
Gravity screen ?

better than autoscreen on or exactly the same?
Didn't use auto screen on. Was using an app called screen on back in the day then moved to gravity screen when I needed to stay currently supported.

Hey guys, something that iv'e been noticing lately that has been an annoyance. I notice sometimes when I pull my phone out of my pocket and press the power button nothing happens unless I press it twice, it seems the power button doesn't respond until the second screen turns on. Is this some sort of software setting that has to do with the gyro sensor and being in my pocket?

I can't reproduce this. In fact my phone will turn on in my pocket of it press the power button. Fingerprint reader unlocks it there.

This is my first LG phone, I honestly could be pressing a volume button by mistake, but I can't figure it out! I also do not use the fingerprint reader, not sure if that would really make a difference with this situation however.
I've had back buttons using the G2 and G3. It took me a while to not press a volume key instead of the power button. I always used knock on with those phones though, never the power button. Fingerprint reader has been awesome to me. If it's taking 2 taps you might have a defective unit.

No, you got it right. The phone is basically sleeping while the second screen is off. It doesn't turn on until the proximity sensor trips it to come back on. Put the phone in your pocket and wait a minute. Take it out really quick and try and turn it on. Or even use the knock on..... It won't work.... It's kind of annoying.... Lol.
Android Central mentioned that annoyance in their review.... :banghead:

Yup, I just put it on a flat surface for a few seconds, quickly picked it up and hit the power button. Nothing. Annoying!
One thing bugs me with this device is the fact the power button and volume rocker is so close together , Evey time I hit the power button to turn of the screen I take a screen shot as my thumb hits the volume down at the same time my gallery is full of screen shots , so annoying [emoji36]
