I'm running DCD 3.0.1 rom, is this normal that my phone will wake up from standby whenever I push any button on it like a call or anything button? I don't really like that cause I'm always hitting keys and changing stuff while my phone is in my pocket and I rather just have it be the power button on the side like it used to work...is there a simple fix for this?

Hit Start, Settings then System Tab. Click Key Lock and make sure "Lock all buttons expect Power button" is selected.
start-settings-system-keylock-
choose "lock all buttons except power button."
thank you both! that fixed it, funny i never opened that settings option to look what was in there, i always thought that had to do with the stock sprint lock feature that i never used
Hello together
I have a little problem with my HD2. I have the Goatrip 6 ROM installed with Cookie´s Home Tab 2.0 and S2U2 2.43. The problem is that S2U2 don´t lock the long press end key.
There is a not choosable option in S2U2 2.43. "Don´t lock long press end key"
I need a program who locks the long press end key similar with the lockscreen. Do anybody know a program? Thanks for your help.
I don't think it is possible.
The normal/official rom lock (with the slider or hd mini version) doesn't lock it either.
It's probably something to do with that key being the power key, that it will have priority over everything else to allow you to power off. All keys are able turn the screen on, but long press send key doesn't work while locked, maybe because it's a hack and not standard.

I think u could remove it by closing Endkey.exe.... But u cannot block it just for S2U2...
Hi everyone. I need to be able to skip the swipe screen and unlock the phone by long pressing the power button. On short press, it should act regularly (waking up and showing the swipe screen). I've tried "No Lock", "Autolock" and "My Lock Utility" but these unlock the phone immediately after pressing the power button
I think this would be the ideal combination of functionality.
My phone is Motorola Atrix.
Thanks in advance
I dont think this will work
You must make a kind of custom rom including this function and u have to implement this function on ur own :/
Galaxy Nexus
Android Version: 4.2.2
Steps to reproduce the problem:
- plug in headset
- lock screen
- press headset button for several seconds
What happened:
- No reaction, Google Now / Voice Actions not launched
- Manually unlock screen
- Long press with unlocked screen correctly launches Voice Search
What you think the correct behaviour should be:
Long press of headset button should launch Google Now / Voice Actions even with locked screen. Having to dig the phone out of your pocket in order to launch Voice Actions with a headset e.g. to place a call kinda defeats the purpose of using Voice Actions in the first place.
Adding insult to injury: long press is not broadcast to other applications because of Google Now, so it can't even be put to good use e.g. as volume control.
This was open and ignored by code.google.com Issue 48616
I also have the same problem. The restriction is not due to the lockscreen, apparently. If you disable the option "Power button immediately locks screen" and set "Automatically lock screen after sleep" time to a long enough time, still the long press doesn't work.
It works fine only when screen is on and unlocked. Weird. There is no point of this shortcut if our phone is unlocked and on, because in such a scenario, if headset is connected and phone is awake and unlocked, it means the phone is in our hands. And if it is in our hands, we can just press the button on the Search widget instead of long pressing the headset button. This is pathetic.

I'm affected by this as well.. I love calling upon Google Now from the headset, but sucks that I have to first unlock the screen on the Nexus 4 to do this. I'm OK with this being off by default, but users should be offered an option to turn this on while screen is locked.

Android apparently wants you looking at the screen so you can see the advertisements, so much for being the "open" OS.
So, guys, still no solution to fix this???

You can enable it by, either
1) setting the unlock pattern to none(that will completely disable locksreen, and you can use the google now feature even in screen off)
2) setting the unlock to any pattern and uncheck the "power button instantly locks screen" - in this way you can use the the feature withing the time you specify in the lock screen

Sorry, I have the same problem, I tried this, but this doesn't work...
Any ideas?
Cheers,

Me too
I'm also in the boat of wanting to access Google now while the phone sits in my pocket and I'm wearing headphones. I can kinda understand why they disallow this (so a thief can't make calls on your dime), but it'd be very nice to at least launch apps.
Even xposed's app settings, with Google search allowed to show on the lock screen, doesn't make it happen. I just get a message saying I need to unlock my phone.
The only idea I currently have to launch it over the lock screen is to use auto voice with Tasker. Perhaps I could get it to launch/listen with a triple tap (because long press is locked up by Google now) via degauss. I just hope it all works over the lock screen. I'll update if/when it happens.

I found a fix for this (yes I know this is old but anyway). You have to install the xposed module "xposed additions" and set the long press headset button to unlock the phone. when the phone is unlocked you can simply long press the button again and google voice search will come up. this way you have to long press the button twice but at least it works

thanks spiderflash, this would work but fully unlocks the phone instead of just the Google now search, guess we have to wait for google to fix it.
I've got it
I've developed a good way to do this now. I've had it for the past 2 months or so, but I was waiting until I could go 2 weeks without a hitch.
You need 4 apps: tasker, secure settings, headset button controller and (if you don't for some reason have it) Google Now.
1. Tell hbc to perform a Tasker task (whatever you want to name it, e.g. 'launch voice search') for 3 clicks
2. Task should do the following: turn screen on, keep screen on at least 15 seconds, launch Google voice search [this is where you say your command, e.g. 'play some music'], lock screen, turn screen off.*
If you want to make this slightly less complex, you can simply have it turn the screen on, then you have to manually say 'OK Google,' then say your voice command (as long as you have Google Now available from the lock screen), but I'm trying to get directly to voice search, which won't launch directly if the screen is locked.
For some reason clicking the headset button 3 times sometimes doesn't trigger the first time after you plug in your headset (but works fine once it's triggered the first time until you unplug and re plug). Sometimes you need to do it twice if you don't hear the little Google Now voice beep.
So I hope this helps, but if you develop a better way to do this, please let me know.
* This is because, before I added this, motion in my pocket with the screen on caused it to swipe to the camera, where it will not turn off by itself. It stayed on for a good half hour in my pocket that day.
I have found the solution.
I had three Assist Apps . When I long pressed headset button while screen unlocked, it asked me to choose between Google, Autovoice and Tasker Secondary. I chose Google. From there on Assistant wakes up on long press headset button when screen is on.
When the screen is off, and you long press the headset button the same options popup but you don't see because screen is locked. Now Assistant can't run untill you set the default assist app on lockscreen.
Solution:
Lock your screen.
Long press headset button.
Within 3 sec pressing quickly unlock the phone.
You will see the dialogue asking to choose assist app.
Choose google.
Solved.
I'm currently on a D851 G3 stock rooted MM, I've enabled long-press action on nav-bar however, after I press and hold the home button to turn off the screen then unlocking the screen, open an app and press home button to back to homescreen (here is the problem), it won't, you need to press once again to make it happen I mean I have to press twice to make it back to home, the problem just occurs once right after unlocking my phone. Btw, there is no problem at all after I turn off Long-press action so I assumes there is a minor bug with this greenify function on my phone. Just a small issue but I hope someone can help me with it. Tks guys for reading
