I was wondering if it would be possible for the phone to start Hotword detection as soon as i wake up the phone to the lock screen? I would like to work as soon as I press the power button to wake up the phone it starts listening for the word Google, like Google Now does it. Is this even possible?
If not, would it be possible to launch Voice Search by holding the power button for 2 seconds while the screen is off? I think something like what i'm suggesting makes the phone more functional and "futuristic".
I'd like something along those lines, might hurt the battery life if it's always listening for a command though.
I think a icon on the unlock ring for a voice command would work well, just swipe down to it and it'll start listening.

With Tasker, yes this is possible. You can make it launch Voice Search the moment the phone is unlocked, but you can't make it listen for it in the "background" if that is what you are asking.

I don't think it would hurt battery life that much, because it will only listen on the lock screen, but the idea of launching it right from the unlock ring would be better than how it is now.

After messing around with tasker, I pretty much got it sort of working. I have it set so when I have my finger over the proximity sensor and i turn on the phone, it will immediately start listening for a command, but sometimes I press the power button before i completely take it out of my pocket and I don't like it that much. I'm still working on making it more functional.

Hey i have a quite a bad problem. My phone appears to be unlocking its self very easy and ringing people in my pocket, today it rang 8 people in the space of an hour. Ive got pocketshield but this stops it picking up calls, not ringing them. Im unsure what to do. I dont even know how its happening, im thinking the top button must keep getting pushed in my pocket or something.
Any ideas/apps to lock phone after wakeup? I dont want to put the pin on it because it may end up locking my phone instead! plus its a bind having to enter a pin every few minutes. Something like pocket shields scroll down the screen etc would be good. But i see no option to enable it for when waking up.
Thanks.
I've had no such issues since using S2U2. Give it a try!
Or LockMeLite - much lighter than S2U2 and doing just what you want - locking the screen and hardware buttons when power button is pressed and unlocking the screen on incoming call so you don't have to unlock to answer and still keeping the buttons disabled so you can take it out of the pouch without accidentaly answering/ignoring the call.
Me too.. LockMeLite has been definitive for me. No more "lost" calls by hardware.
Fk
My solution was to stick a crystal case on it,it recess's the power button so its not pushed by accident.
if u press and hold the phone icon bottom right it locks the screen , to unlock pull out the stylus.
the problem is its not to do with calls or texts, i have pocketshield for that. Its to do with the powerbutton keep getting knocked. At least i think it is.
holdign down the phone key to lock the screen sounds like a gd idea ill look into that.
And yeah getting a protective case might solve it too. Ill cehck that out too thanks, though i do kinda like the sleak design. I gues its gona get ruined proably lol.
:EDIT:
Simply locking the screen before turning it off works a charm! thanks. Now im just wondering, is there an app that will just auto lock it when i turn screeen off ? Just makes it all that easyer so i dont forget and call people again!
I had the same problem before using a belt case. I tried s2u2, but it's lagging. Now I'm satisfied with Pocketshield. Just work in its setting and you can have it work well.

Again - LockMeLight. It locks the screen automatically when the phone goes to sleep and you have to slide the screen down when waking it to unlock it. On top of that it disables the hardware buttons when locked, so no accidental calls are made when you unwillingly wake the device even with the screen locked.
original case
i use original htc case for hd.
Very simple and very very light application.
Does exactly what it says on the TIN.
The reason I compiled this application is purely to avoid using power button as I don’t want it to worn out. To turn the screen on or off we have to use power button which might stop working if we use the button too much. This application will cut the use of the power button by 50% at least
Rather than using the power button to turn the screen on and off, tap on this application to turn the screen off. Very small application V1.0
I might release another one when I get feedback from the users.
If you want just exe file then copy it in to your phonewindows->start menu-> program folder
Or use cab file which will install it on the above location for you
Enjoy !!!!
Trying to be contructive, the way this application could be more useful (to me) would be if it triggered the standard screen lock at the same time as switching off the screen. This would save me tapping 'start' then 'lock' and then pressing the power button.

hiya,
much appreciate for your comments. do you mean turning screen off as well as locking the screen..? so that when you touch the screen it won't come back on...?
I'm working on to prepare better version i.e. it would be on the home screen so that no clicking on start menu and then this app.
cheers

I think he means that you program should not only turn off the devise, but also lock it with the standard WM lock at the same time. That would be good for me, at least.

screen off + lock at same time only pressing Powerbutton.
It work perfectly for me so as it is. I changed the left soft-key so that it will start "turn off the light.exe" .When the screen is off S2U2 will lock the screen. So I can turn off and lock the screen with only one click.
To change the soft key do this:
with a registry editor go to HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/ . in HomeLSKPath (left softkey) or HomeRSKPath (right softkey) write the address to "turn off the light.exe". HomeLSKText and HomeRSKText are the text for the softkeys.
That´s it!
update for touch diamond
hi everyone,
massive thanks to all those who provided replies. I have tried on my blackstone (Touch HD) and it does seems to turn off the screen plus all keys as well.
I can confirm that it doesnt lock all the keys i.e. doesnt lock the device on touch diamond model. I'll modify the program and upload the newer version with the feature of locking the keys plus turning off the screen.
once agian special thanks to everyone.
Certainly reading the comments above, people seemed to understand what I was getting at. With the screen off, the buttons on a HD will indeed be non-responsive, however if an event (SMS or similar) woke the screen, the device would be in an unlocked state. What I would be interested in is a program that turned off the screen and invoked the standard WM lock program (gwes.exe?).
Hope that makes sense.
i like this application but i think the icon is really ugly..
Hi,
is there a possibility to do a screen unlock application which can be activated by voice commander? the situation is this...
I used voice commander to launch google maps while my hand is busy when the screen is lock. however, i will need a program which can be initiated by the voice commander to unlock the screen so that i can navigate the maps. Right now i will have to unlock the screen the normal way which i find voice commander redundant since i'll have to use my finger during lunching anyway.
Can you help me on this? Many thanks in advance. =)

Thanks for the link!
Been using this app so i dont have to fumble with the power button to turn the screen off. Seems this app only turns off the screen and doesnt actualy put the phone in sleep. I would like an app like this that acts as the power button does. So when i put the phone to sleep with the icon, i cant accidently slide the keyboard out a touch and have the phone wake up.
The whole deal has to do with tilt 2's keyboard sensor and magnet cases. With this app, the keyboard sensor still activates when sliding into a magnet flap case, while having slie to wake disabled

Hiya,
I'm working on the program so that you can have configuration option to simulate power button to put phone in sleep mode or jus to turn the screen off. This utility was just for people who want to save power whilst listening to the music, etc.
Please keep any ideas/suggestion coming. Much appreciated guys.
Watch the space guys....
That is great inítiative. I use the screen off function actually for the purpose to save power when navigation. screen off when there is a long straíght way to drive.
Put device to sleep mode will cause gps signal lost, which is not so nice.
I can image that there will be a lot of person who wnat to have different adds-on on this small application, it might be a solution to provide command argument.
Thank you.
I will try to see whether this one works for my purpose. Actually in my situation, I even don't want any key be locked as these keys are mapped for navigation.
How about screen toggle thus it is possible to map this application to a key?
awesome, i mapped the exe to a hardware key next to standby. now i can easily save power while wardr listening to music. ^_^
it combines very well with s2u2 locking function too.
big thanks!

Tom, may be it was to late to find your toggle light off switch, but it was very important for me to find it, thank you man, you solved a terrible issue for me, which is that programs stop updating (eg: twitter) when the device is in standby mode.
I heard that you can release another one, so my feedback is:
it takes about 2 seconds to turn off the light, isn't there any faster??? ))
This application is great. Combined with the S2U2 and HD Tweak i don't even have to use the power button at all. Device locked by S2U2 as soon as i turn off the light, waking up device by pulling out the stylus and rebooting with the help of HD Soft reset. Thanks
P.S. You should really add a decent icon, even though people can change it if they want to.
I have a Sprint Touch Pro 2. Is there a way to make the phone wake up if it receives a phone call but still keep the phone locked? Like I want to have to unlock it before answering the call.
Sometimes at work I don't necessarily hear a call or want to answer it. The phone unlocks and then while it's in the case in my pocket, it's vulnerable to screen taps and hard buttons presses because it's not locked anymore until it goes to sleep again...that's if it goes to sleep cause I am physically active at work and the case may press against the screen a little and etc.
I use LockDevice v1.6 too

LockDevice v1.6 is a program to turn on the phones stock lock when you hit the power button...not a soft/hard button lock.
To lock the hard buttons/soft buttons.screen tabs when you get a call, reminder, ect you will need a lock program such as:
S2U2, TouchLockPro, or PocketShield. These are probably the more well known ones.
I have tried Pocketshield and am now trying S2U2, both seam to be doing the job good.

Hey thanks. S2u2 is awesome. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
This might be a dumb question, but, on the G2, how do you wake the phone up from standby without actually opening the keyboard?
With the G1, all I had to do was press the Menu button, but that doesnt work on the G2. So far, the only way to wake up the G2 is by flipping the keyboard open, or hitting the power switch.
I don't own the phone but played with one in store yesterday. There is a power button on the top of the phone, this brings it out of standby. I kind of hoped a push of the trackpad would also but it does not.
It really bothers me coming from the Nexus that they swaped sides of the headphone jack and power/sleep button. On most all of HTC's other phones the pow/sleep button is on the top left, perfect for my (smallish) right hand pointer finger. Now that they swapped it to the top right, my world is falling apart...

Hahaha, yeah I'm having the same problem!
I'm so accustomed to having the power button on the left that this phone is completely throwing me off!
Yup... as far as I know, tapping the power button on top will bring it out of standby.
Frustrating not being able to wake it up any other way than the power button or open it up....I want to be able to push the trackpad...anyone figure this one out yet?

What ROM do you all recommend?
try proximity screen off its a great app uses a yoda like gesture across the prox to turn off your screen, i love it
and am in no way affiliated with the software or dev

this.
and I wouldn't recommend rooting/custom roms just to change how the phone wakes up. not worth it if that's your biggest complaint with the phone.
it's like modding a car... you won't be able to stop until it explodes.

Install NoLock. When you'll turn it on Unlocked, you'll be able to wake your phone with the trackpad, the volume or the camera buttons
Just got my Optimus G Pro a week ago, coming from several years of iPhone usage (and upgrades).
As of yet I've not rooted or anything, it's totally stock aside from some play store downloads.
Here's my question. (I don't know if it's by design or if my phone's messed up.)
When on a call, if I hit the lock button, it darks the screen but the phone is not really locked. Any button press takes me straight to the call screen. Is this by design?
The problem I'm running into because of this is; randomly while on a call I'll hear two faint beeps and the screen will turn on. But there is no notifications (no mms, no emails, etc) and I don't have minute minder (plus the beeps are random, not on the minute) so I don't know why the screen is coming back on.
Both of these issues basically means the phone is going to call screen when in my pocket (I use headphones a lot on calls) or on my desk or whatnot and I have accidentally hit buttons.
I'm used to the iphone where when I hit lock, it's really locked. You cannot accidentally activate the phone unless you first unlock the phone. This is a big deal to me because I'm on conference calls a lot. I need to be able to trust when I lock the phone that it's locked (lockscreen).
Outside of calls it works fine, I lock it and I have to do the unlock action to get back to the phone from the lock screen.
Anyone have any insights or suggestions? And is the no lock screen while on a call by design? (cause that'd be a little lame)
I love this phone and really don't want to root (/ custom rom) yet, at least not until I have vetted all the stock issues to make sure custom romming later didn't cause these issues. To me, the lock button should always lock no matter what the phone is doing. It's such a basic expectation that had I rooted or rommed before this I would swear it was cause by that and not a stock function.
The first question yes it does that by design you can hit the home button in call and go back to the.home screen......and if the phone sees light it.thinks its away.from your.face and wakes back up to.do stuff like text or input numbers for call centers and stuff
Sent from my LG-E988 using Tapatalk
Hitting the home button while on a call does take me to the home screen, but the phone still doesn't lock. Lock button takes you to a blank screen but the phone is still not locked (at the lock screen).
I believe it's by design, but it sure doesn't make sense. Why would a developer think "Hey, you know that dedicated hardware lock button that all phones have? How about we just not let it work while people are on calls? Why would anyone want to keep their phone from being messed with while on an important call, that'd be silly... Maybe next update we can make the home button randomly take you somewhere other than the home screen."

I don't know but why would you lock a phone during a call? you won't be able to input numbers during a call or just remove it from your year for a second to glance at the call time.....and when the call ends the screen lights up to show you call info and reminding you if you want to lock your phone............so what i am trying to say if i cannot understand the usefulness of locking during call.......if you want the screen to turn off the proximity sensor does that.................can you please give me an example of its use.....thank you
