powerbutton application - Desire General

Does anyone know of an app that changes the behaviour of the powerbutton? I keep activating the screen while it's in my pocket...

Not possible, and how the hel you manage to turn it on all the time?!?
Never happened to me!

perhaps my button is more sensetive? I think it happens when I put it in my pocket, when I push it down I either touch it with my finger, or if the phone is upside down, it gets pressed down against the bottom of the pocket. Sometimes I think I press the button when I take the phone out of my pocket.
I have noticed it's turned on when I take it out, and once it even took a photo.... I tried the LockBot app, but it seems it doesn't work every time, so I had to return to the standard. I might try to get the paid version, when/if I get that option at any time.
So, I'd like to have an app that would change the powerbutton. E.g. hold it down for 2 sec, click it twice, or something, to activate the screen.

Fast click on power on

Hello,
I saw that the phone is switched off when I press the power button very quickly after a few seconds turns on. This for me is very annoying, if I have the phone in my pocket sometimes turns on probably because Touch inside the power button. It is possible to change to having to press for a few seconds and not for 1/10 second ?
it is not possible ?

Why is this a problem? The screen will auto switch off again in 15 seconds if still locked.
Becouse i want turn off the phone.
You want it totally switched off? Hold down the power button and a menu pops up on the screen, switch if off from there.
There is no way to stop the power button waking up the device when it is "standby", that's its purpose, I can't imagine anything more annoying than having to hold down the button just to check my phone
I don't see how you guys don't understand his question.
He says that it is annoying that when you turn the phone off (for X reason) and put it in your pocket, the fact that it only takes a slight touch of the power button to turn the phone on means it involuntarily turns itself on in his pocket. He wantsto know whether it is possible to make it so you have to press a long time on the power button in order to turn the power on, so that if the power buton is only pressed for a second, nothing happens.
I really wish people tried to actually read questions on forums.
This is an important question for all that travel by air.
to avoid that during the take off or the landing the desire turn on inadvertently
My problem was born in the cinema when I turned off the phone and put it in my pocket. After a few seconds I heard the sound of ignition, so I switched off again, then yet again ... up when I removed the sound, while other people looked at me in a mole ..
It would be nice if you could choose to press the button for 2-3 seconds before it turn on, to prevent accidental starting
Totally agree. I had the same issue on the plane the other day. I had powered it off but during take off it powered itself on in my pocket. I used to have an iPhone and it at least required you to hold the power button down for a few seconds before it turned on.

I really wish people took the time to actually read the reply and accept that sometimes when the OP is in broken english it is misses details, before jumping in to criticise others while contributing nothing of value to the thread.
If you reckoned it was easy to understand the question, why have you offered no actual answer or constructive advice?
If you assume that the question is... can I set the phone so that it requires a long-press of the power button to switch it on when it is completely powered off... the answer is... No, you can't. Perhaps there is scope for this in a modded firmware if you root the device. I suggest you email HTC support to suggest this an an enhancement in a future update to the phone.
Why don't you try this FlexiSheild Case Cover, I purchased one and it has a very robust construction flexible but not sloppy like the silicone ones.
I have found that to turn the phone on or from standby you have firmly press the on button you cannot turn it on by simply sweeping your finger over the button it also offers a lot of protection to the phone and has some rubbery coating on the back to stop the phone slipping out of your hand.
I believe this will elimenate your false switch on of the phone

Cab or other way to disable Screen Align??

Seems the TP2 also has a "grip of death" of sorts. Basically if you hit the Volume Buttons on the side of the devise and touch the screen, it automatically activates the Screen align util and until you complete the Screen align to the devices satisfaction, You are stuck there.
Basically this translates to any time you use the Volume Buttons while holding the phone to your face, It activates the Screen Align Util. (At least that is what happens to me about 10 times a day)
Does anyone know of a way to deactivate this "Feature/Major Annoyance"?
Thanks
mine does not do this. i suspect something is wrong with your device.
This also does not happen with my phone, just tested it out. Even called myself at work. Are you using a cooked ROM or stock? I am using stock ROM from AT&T
Try again. Hit both Volume Buttons (Simultaneously) on the side of the phone and tap the screen, It will start up the align screen until every time. I have verified that this VZN and Sprint TP2`s. It may be a CDMA thing but this feature is designed into the phone (And it sucks!).
Anyone know of a way to disable this?
mine does that from time to time, but I never figured out what causes it, but, you are right it is ANNOYING when it happens.
Cooked rom, if it makes any difference.
Hi all,
Confirmed on UK TP2 - stock WM6.5 ROM, no special apps etc installed. Had to soft reset to get out from a mixed screen align/text message app screen.
No looping align screen after reset - but annoying. Best suggestion (without being sarcastic!) - don't press both volume buttons at once, seems to be a way into a "fix the problem" mode for those with grossly un-aligned screens. How else could you get into align screen to fix the problem? ... aka "feature not a bug".
adam.
both volum buttons?
under what scenario are you hitting both volum buttons at the same time, with enough force to depress them, and touching the screen? I tried doing this on purpose and its almost impossible to do with intention much less on accident. you would have to be gripping your phone with massive, angry, force. maybe the fix is to stop talking to whomever it is that is pissing you off.
in anycase, i still could not get this replicated on the tmobile tp2. of course i am using the fastest and most stable rom provided for this phone: stock wm 6.1 with tf3d. so maybe its a feature of 6.5.x and some rendition of sense 2.x
Hold the Phone in your left hand. In my case my Thumb naturally rests on the Volume Buttons. My Thumb covers both Volume buttons. Now if I get a call and the phone against my Face and I attempt to adjust the volume with my Thumb (By rocking my Thumb up or down), Sometimes I manage to accidentally hit both. If that happens, The Screen align will start up every time because the screen is already touching my face.
I have talked with many other TP2 owners that have this same problems however they did not know what was causing it. All they knew was the Screen align kept starting up randomly.
Back to.. Is it possible to disable this? Maybe even assign a different key combination to start the screen align util such as Vol Down and endcall or something. It is too easy to accidentally press both volume buttons if you are on a call. If you do that while the phone is touching your face, the screen align will start and the phone is now locked until you get out the stylus and go through the realign.

[Q] Screen wont turn on after it turns off. ATT Tilt 2

Everytime I boot my phone up, it works fine up until when the screen goes into sleep mode. Once it goes into sleep mode I cannot turn the screen back on, it stays black. The keyboard, end and answer key lights show up when I press the power button but the screen just stays black no matter what button I press.
I end up having to either take the battery out or using the stick to press the reset button on the side in order to get the phone to where I can see the screen again. I have adjusted the settings to where the screen doesnt go into sleep mode and the screen just stays on but that drains my battery. I want to be able to have my screen go off so I can save power but if it goes off it wont come on again until I reboot.
I have done a hard reset. This problem started happening to me when I started using the Energy Rom but I've even flashed different Roms and the problem still exist.
Somebody please tell me what's wrong! I need help! This is a big annoying problem to have. Thanks.
is this problem occurring when you slide the keyboard out?
i had the t-mobile touch pro2 with this problem.
the screen would die when the keyboard was out and not come back.
if this is the case, what i did was...
well. obviously not open the keyboard fully.
but if i accidentally had.
instead of pulling out the battery, i waited...
till the screen 'naturally' went to sleep.
than i would pull out the stylus or press power button
and the screen would come on.

Yes the problem still exist even when I slide the keyboard out. Once the screen goes off, that's it....pressing the power button to get it out of sleep mode, sliding the keyboard, I press all buttons and nothing works. The only thing that "works" to get the screen back on is removing the battery or using the stylus to press the reset button.
When sliding the keyboard out the keys light up but the screen doesn't come on, also pressing the power button lights up the end and answer keys without the screen coming on.

so. whenever the screen goes out, period, you cant get it back?
or the screen goes out and cant get it back once you slide the keyboard out?
if it is only when sliding out the keyboard...
try not opening the keyboard fully on the right side.
on my rhodium, after that point, the screen goes out.

Yes, period. Also, you know when you put your face to the phone during a call and the screen goes off so your face wont press anything on the screen? It doesn't come back on from that either once I end the phone call, it just stays black. I'm assuming you don't have any other suggestions. This Sucks

This has to be a software issue but I don't know where to start. I'm surprised nobody else has encountered this problem. I've grown frustrated of this issue because I don't understand why it's doing this. I have had the phone for almost 6 months only dropping it once 4 months ago and it wasn't a strong damaging drop that would affect anything inside. I guess I'll just have to go last resort and call warranty to swap the phone out. Thanks for the help.
Same problem

My phone also dos not come back on, when I put it in out the sreen with the power button on top, or when the phone goes to sleep. Nothing can put it back on(opening te keyboard, pulling out the stylis, presing the answer-, windows-, back- and end button). I and up using a music players too keep the phone busy what's makes it operational. Cant really remember when this started happening exactly. My phone is at the moment loaded with a standard ROM. I used too have a custom ROM.
My TP2 does this too, although I only encounter the problem sometimes when someone calls. I answer and put the phone next to my ear, the screen goes black as it should and the phone just dies. I can't hear what the other person is saying and the screen wont turn on anymore. I have to take out the battery to reboot.
set light sensor to manual in settings. You have some bad or fragmented code causing the problem. Pretty common actually, many different reasons, but usually either a bad light or proximity sensor or software issue. Setting the sensor to manual should do it, if not, hard reset and allow the phone to fully set up before touching it, to allow full customization process to complete. Search my posts on SOD (sleep of death) for more information.
Funny this was brought up. Now im worried I just dropped 250.00 and have a new one coming.
Mine started with the ear piece quit working. couldnt hear anything except on speaker.
Anyway I started having the screen issue over a month ago, only way to get it back was soft reset with the stylus. Also when the screen was lit, I couldn't hit the power button to turn the screen off. At times the screen would be on 24/7 and I just dealt with it. The times when it decieded to go to sleep was when I needed the soft reset. Well long story short I forgot my charger one day at work and the battery died. after pressing the power button for hours with no response, moving the screen in all diffrent directions as I pressed the button.It came on once after hrs of messing with it. Well today it died again and I am fed up with it so out came the tools. Once I opened it up I noticed the ribbon that feeds the screen from the mother board was worn and torn. the ribbon slides everytime the keyboard is slid out and it rubs on both sides of the phone. I thought maybe mine was just a fluke and was installed wrong considering the phone being 10 months old but now I read this and see maybe its a common problem. The cheapest I could find the Ribbon was 56.00 so I didnt want to chance it not being the issue.

[Q] frustrating 'align screen'

this is one problem that annoys the hell out of me. occasionally ill have my phone in my pocket and when i pull it out im forced to align the screen. if i dont whip the stylus out (forcing me to use 2 hands) and do it properly it'll just repeat and no other action can be taken until it is complete.
how can i disable this?
the screen is already aligned but im guessing it gets interrupted sometimes when in my pocket thinking it needs an alignment
also while im here. any easy way to stiffen the power/screen button? i reassembled my TP2 the other day and ever since then it's slightly softer. i always bump the button when i'm holding the phone horizontally
It should never, ever go to the align screen unless you're pressing the key combo to enter it... Which I don't even remember what the key combo is for the RHOD. On my RAPH I think I had to hold a volume button and the middle button. I'll try to look it up, but basically there's probably a key combo you're hitting while the phone is in your pocket, that is causing that screen to come up.
Search is magical.

Seems if you hit both volume buttons and tap the screen it pulls it up? Sorry, I can't test this... I completely wiped WinMo off my RHOD .

Phone Continuously reboots need help!

What basically happens is the first time i was doing something and i guess my phone decides to randomly bring up the boot menu with, screenshot shot, airplane mode, power off, reboot, etc, so i click that to go away and continue what i was doing and it just reboots on me i don't even have to click the lock button anymore and it does that and this all happen randomly out of nowhere can anyone help me
Had the same issue when used old Nokia. It was related to physical button which "pressed" on itself after my phone was under rain. I disassembled the phone and let it dry, that helped.
Happened to me last month.
Try to gently but forcibly flick or hit the power button.
It would appear as though as time goes by, our phones power button keeps getting sticky, and decides to get stuck.
I hit my phone off my desk a couple of times onto the power button, and It worked.
