[Q] How to stop phone waking up in pants pocket? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

I'll be modding a case soon to accommodate my extended battery, so maybe this problem will go away, but in the meantime....
I generally wear khakis or chinos to work, and carry my phone in a front pocket. Several times during the day, I'll feel my pocket getting warm and will pull out my phone to find the screen on.
I assume either the side power button or the front "home" button is getting mashed in my pocket and waking up the screen. This happens often enough that I think it affects battery endurance and also creates a risk of accidentally dialing an emergency number (the lock screen is password-protected, so I'm not worried about pocket dialing my contacts).
Anyone else having similar trouble? Are there any settings or 3rd-party apps where I can change the phone to require a multi-button press to wake the screen (like power+home simo, or power+vol up+home, or something like that)?
I also thought it'd be cool to incorporate a "password" into the wake function, like a Nintendo combo attack or something. Home-home-power-vol up or whatever.
Anything like that out there? (I'm currently stock, but if there's a 3rd party app to do this that requires root, that could be the excuse I need to do that!)
Thanks...

Having the same problem. Waiting to see others replies.

It could also be that when you get a text message the screen comes on you need to get a modded version of the mms.apk that let's you keep the screen off when getting text messages. Because if you put the phone in your pocket with the screen towards you body then it could be unlocking it when you get a text and the skin being close is keeping it awake. Specially if you have the glove feature turned on.

Good idea, but (heh) maybe I don't have enough friends but I don't get that many text messages. This happens frequently enough that I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out if some notification did something to wake up the screen, and most of the time I can find no reason for it to light up, which is why I suspect a button mash. (I also do not have the "extra sensitivity for gloved hands" option enabled.)

Maybe a tasker profile that allow the proximity sensor to detecr when the screen is firsr turned on. This way it will detect that or using the lux sensor since it will be dark, and in turn turn the screen back off

A reasonable suggestion. Might be the excuse I need to finally learn how to use Tasker. Wonder if I could get in a situation where I can't get my phone to wake up in a dark room, though....

buy a glass screen protector with at least .3mm thickness. The home button will be recessed and it'll be harder to accidentally pressed.

I think this is the answer. I just got an Otterbox Defender and there's no way the buttons will get mashed in my pocket now. If the screen comes on again, I'll know there's something else causing it.

As some other people said, it would probably be best to get a case for the phone. I have the Otterbox Commuter and I have had no problems with any accidental button presses. Also, you can't go wrong with a little extra protection for a very expensive phone.

A couple slight possibilities to consider - do you have these features DISabled?
- Air View - "shows helpful information when you hover your finger over the screen"
- Motions and Gestures (Air Gesture/Motion/Palm Motion).
I think you can see where I'm going with this....

You can completely disable the home button from being able to turn on the screen if you are rooted:
Open /system/usr/keylayout/gpio-keys.kl with a root aware text editor (you should probably make a copy somewhere first in case it gets messed up) - I use root browser lite
Go to "key 172 HOME WAKE" line
Delete the word WAKE
Save and exit
Reboot phone

Good thoughts, but not exactly what I was looking for. These features might cause the screen to stay on once it awoke, but I was actually trying to prevent the screen from waking up in the first place.

I had the same thing happening to me until I put a case on the phone. I just have a hard silicone case, but the lip on the front it just enough to keep the home button from being pressed in my pocket.

I had a similar thing happening several times each day,except I would take my phone out to see that the camera was open. I figured out that it was because I had set a voice command to open the camera from the lock screen. I got rid of the command and it hasn't again

My problem is due to the intermittent wifi connection. My phone screen wakes up every time I get reconnected to the wifi network. It is so annoying.

Did anyone ever figure this one out? I'm now having the same problem as the OP. The home button gets pressed all too often 'in pocket' and I'd love to disable.
The advice above is the closest thing to a solution that I've seen posted around, but in my case, the 'HOME' value for key 172 did not have the 'WAKE' or 'WAKE_DROPPED' value that some other keys have; Just 'HOME'. I'm wondering if maybe an alternate keyboard that I'm using (I usually use SwiftKey) overrides the default keyboard settings file, in which case I should be looking somewhere else?

Nothing can mess with that file without root permissions. Maybe the reason you are having the problem is that you DON'T have wake nor wake dropped in there try adding WAKE to gpio and leave the one in generic without eithet

Thanks, I wasn't implying that another app over-wrote the file, only that another app may be using a different file and thus overriding the function.
For my own edits, I have been dismounting and making changes using a root-enabled file manager and editor and remounting. The changes are there. If I:
a) Remove 'HOME' from Generic.kl, the soft keys and the Power key go dead.
b) put WAKE_DROPPED Generic.kl, there is no apparent effect.
c) Remove 'HOME' from gpio, there is no apparent affect
I'll try adding WAKE_DROPPED to gkio and see what happens...
EDIT: SOLVED!
I think this was more an issue of attention deficit disorder than anything else. I was not paying close enough attention to my edits and making the changes to the wrong files (e.g., Generic.kl instead of gpio).
The original proposed solution WORKS. Specifically,
1) in /system/usr/keylayout, edit file gpio-keys.kl. (need a root-enabled file manager/editor)
2) Under Key 172, remove the word HOME
3) Save the file
4) Reboot
Power key still works for 'waking' and Home key still works for, well, returning Home (but only when awake already)

Turning off LED button back lights

Hello,
Anyone have an idea of how to simply turn off LED button back lights?
It seems it could be done as there is already at least one app that uses them for notification.
Here is what I am trying to do:
I've downloaded a desktop alarm clock app that turns the screen back light WAY down so it is not disruptive in a completely dark room while sleeping. But, the buttons remain illuminated.
Basically 8 want to use tasker to launch those clock and turn off the button back lights if the phone is charging and the time is after a certain hour.
I am thinking I could fire off a script with tasked to do thwarting back lights portion of this as well, but I don't even know where to begin.
Any ideas? Thanks!
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
I'm rooted, and use an app called AdjBrightness. Works wonders, and also via menu, you can totally turn off the LED lights.
Hope that helps.
Cool, I will check it out. Ideally I would like to do it automatically, without having to open another app, but this tells me it ostensibly at least doable.
Thanks!
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
If you want the code, just do this from adb or from your phone's terminal.
echo "0" > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness
Thanks! I think that is getting pretty close to what I need. Any idea if/how this could be written or saved as a SL4A script that could be fired off with tasker?
Also, I'd need to configure an exit task as well for morning, so I will need to know how to set all the buttons back to normal.
I know this is kinda minor, but I am excited about it nonetheless. Looking forward to having a nice, super dim clock to check the time late at night.
Thanks again!

You could always leave your computer on overnight and make a macro that executes the adb command to dim the leds and then executes another that makes them bright again at a certain time.
There must be something similar you can do on the phone though.
Thanks for the thoughts Meltus.
Well, I did it! I actually created a solution that is, at least to me, the first thing I have done that might actually be worth it to others and might be worth sharing.
I'll post this in more detail in the Apps/Themes forum as I am not sure it belongs here, but the short version is that you can use a plug-in called "Locale Execute" that allows you run SU commands in Tasker.
So, I created a profile in Tasker so that when the phone is plugged in to AC power between certain hours (I may add some other contexts to tweak it, like maybe say it has to be in landscape orientation), it launches my desk clock app, turns the screen down to the very lowest setting (not the "low" setting allowed at the user level), and turns the button lights off using the command you gave me.
Then, when the AC power is pulled, It automatically goes to my default home screen, returns the screen brightness to normal, and turns the button back-lights back on.
It really is pretty cool!

No i'm afraid it doesn't. Also, send me a pm next time rather than ask in someone else's thread
I did turne off button's back-light by adjusting the context of "/sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness" file from 255 to 0, it works great, but it gets back to normal after phone restart, I even went to properties of the file and removed all the "write" rights, but it won't give in.

[Q] Touchstone: How to keep the TP off while on the Touchstone?

how do I keep the TP from turning on while on the touchstone? I don't want a clock or pictures, I just want it dark in my room at night. I can turn off the power when I first set it on the dock but when its fully charged on pops the screen again. How can I disable this?
Thanks
install preware if you dont have it already, go to patches and look for charge only option. there's several to choose from. pick one you like and use.
I'm pretty sure if you hit the power button after exhibition mode starts it will turn the screen off for good. But what I did was install the minimum brightness patch so now when its in exhibition mode it is much darker and much less bothersome when trying to sleep. To install the patch you'll need preware installed.

Are you using the Preware app on your Touchpad?
Preware -> Available Packages -> Patch -> Search -> Enter "Charge"
The search is started by tapping the magnifying glass in the top button, which brings up the keyboard. Type in "charge" (without the quotes).

Or when it receives any notifications for that matter. I've resorted to just keeping the cover on the HP case closed so it covers the screen when I leave it on the touchstone overnight.

If you're talking about the temp of the device, I'm not really sure. I installed the minimum brightness patch the second day I got it because it was way too bright to have as a bedside clock. I also have a case on it, but it doesn't feel warm when I take it off the stone. Also, the lowest brightness with the patch can only be set in the screen and lock app. You cannot set it from the drop down on the home screen.

i have a solution
1) put the charger and the touchpad into a box
2) tape the box up
3) put my address on the box
4) take it to the post office and send it to me
that should fix your problem

[App] Power Switch - screen off by closing case

Guys, im the developer of Power Switch, an app that switches off your tablet's screen when you shut the case.
The main thread can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1277712
Ive had reports of problems with the tab's light sensor, so would appreciate some debugging feedback.
You can use the lite version to test, it has all the features, but just wont save as much juice.
Thanks in advance. Feel free to reply here or in the main thread, i read both regularly!
Many thanks!, Looks very interesting, will try it out and see how it does with my Tab.
Let me know if the light sensor work properly please!
Got Pro version on my phone, works great.
Will try it on my tab soon.
I'll check it out when i get home.
Works great on my tab too. Thanks mate.
Edit: I noticed on my phone after testing it on and off a few times, the light sensor stopped working. But after rebooting, I havent seen the problem since.
And I've yet to see a problem on my tab.
So the light sensor works? Can you log some sensitivity settings for me so i can fine tune it...

Like in different lighting settings? Like dimming the lights in the room? Or using different Sensitivity %s and closing the case?
Or all of the above?
Oh and after some extensive use on my DroidX, I've been having some problems. It turns off while I'm using the phone even in very lighted surroundings.
---------- Post added at 09:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 AM ----------
I'm at work right now but I tried a few things.
I'm using a Belkin Folio case and i tested to see how low i could set the % for it to read when the case was closed.
Anything under 10% didn't work (even when i completely covered the light sensor with my finger)
On 100%, even a shadow over the sensor would trigger it.
I'll try a few different lighting instances when I get home.
Thats cool, thanks!

Actually...to be honest, I dont even need it on my phone because its a habit of mine to hit the power button as im setting it down or putting it in my pocket.
I do love it on my tab though. Makes it easier just being able to close my case instead of trying to find the power button lol.
Can't remove this app from my tab! Help please

Do you have "Enable Power Switch" Checked?
EDIT: If you're using a tablet with a case that covers the screen when you close it, here's what you need...
1. Check "Enable Power Switch"
2. Check "Admin Permissions" (this gives the app permission to lock your screen or turn the tablet off)
3. Check "Enable Sensors"
4. Check "Use Light Sensors" (I recommend 10-20% Sensitivity)
5. Set up your Confirmation and Activation Delay.
---Activation Delay is how long it takes for the device to read if the case is closed or not. (If you set it to 0 seconds, your screen will cut off even if you simply brush something up against the light sensor on accident) I keep mine at 3 seconds.
---Confirmation Delay starts after you Activation Delay ends. It is a confirmation dialogue box that asks what you want to do. Once the timer for it runs out, it will lock your screen/turn the screen off. (I keep mine at 3 seconds for this as well but you might want it longer)
To recap...Set Activation Delay for how long you want the device to wait before it makes a decision if it should turn off your screen or not. Set Confirmation Delay for how long you want it to wait after the Activation Delay ends to actually turn off the screen.
((If you don't have a case that covers the screen and you want it to turn off when you put your tab upside down, replace step 3 with *Check "Acceleration Sensor"* And make sure you Uncheck "Use Light Sensor"))

Gestures whilst screen is off (alternative to volume buttons/keys)

In theory it would seem possible as the capacitive screen is "always listening" (ie as with the knock-on feature) you could create custom gestures that an app could listen to and perform tasks. For instance, I would like a gesture where you swipe your finger up the screen to turn the volume up, or down to turn it down.
Is this technically possible? Does anyone know of an app/hack to get such a thing working? Personally I find the back-button placement a bit fiddly and find that touching the camera lens is often the case as oppose to just wanting to turn the volume up

Does that work with the screen off? I can see no mention of it on the play store details page.
Interesting idea. There are alternative methods of turning your phone on though. There are shake on apps you could try to see how you like. I use a shake off app that I love. Just doing a quick shake when I'm done with the phone is just extremely convenient. Its one of the apps that I make sure to install first thing.
If you do find a gesture app that can work with the screen off that doesn't eat the battery like little shop of horrors, let us know.

[Q] Other ways to turn on/off the screen without using the hardware button

I'm wondering if there's a way (app or manual edit of system files) to make the hardware buttons less used to keep them from getting soft
and for that I'm mainly focusing on the power button as it is frequently used, I have two ideas:
- taking the gesture from the new M8 which is by double tapping the screen, if you're a developer please tell me if it's possible to take that function from the M8 maybe edit it and make it work on the One Max!
- We have a great special thing called fingerprint scanner, and since it's not that good at identifying the owner's fingerprint but always works at identifying fingerprints of people, maybe we can use it to wake up screen by simply swiping the finger over it!
So here is my question and here are my ideas, if you have a good answer for me please share it in the comments!
Thanks XDA!
Also looking for a way to do it, but in my case the reason is my power button stopped working and the only way to wake the device is by plugging a charger. What could I use else before having it fixed by service?
for switching off i use nova launcher with the app "screen off and lock"
DoubleTap on screen now the max going off. (i do this with all phones)
But switching on with doubleTap i always searching how it can work. I have
no idea
my understanding is that without a modded kernel, turning screen ON with touchscreen taps is a no go.
an alternate is to use something like the xposed sense 6 toolkit feature "wake screen with volume buttons". granted it still uses hardware buttons, but at least the power button wont have to take as much "abuse" anymore.
for turning screen off, sense 6 tookit offers gestures on the homescreen. i have mapped swipe down to screen off.
i vaguely remember reading about another xposed mod that can map double tap on status bar to screen off.
just my 2 cents!
edit: i m using another xposed mod called "sense 6 lockscreen mods" that enables double tap to screen off on the lockscreen.
