Wake on slide open?

[swirlee]

Hi all. I'm the proud owner of a new XV6800 and I'm wondering, is there any way to make it wake from sleep when I slide out they keyboard?

[xweaponx]

I have been panning through all of my menus and cannot find a option to wake upon slideout of keyboard. It may not be possible...

Unless someone else knows of a possible registry edit or .cab file...:confused:

[yakky]

I haven't seen anything either, my wing did this and I miss the feature.

If you are using Pocket Toolman, which you REALLY should be, under OS tweaks, there is an option to click on, "wakeup when sliding keyboard".

Pocket Toolman is awesome!! And free.

Thanks Benderhoggs! I was looking for something like that. Can't wait to try it! :)

[Benderhoggs]

Sure. You'll love it. One of the best programs I've gotten for my phone so far.

Looks like a great tool, but unless I'm missing something, the "Wakeup when sliding keyboard" feature does not appear to work on my Titan. :( Any Titan users able to get it to work?

[ji1386]

yeah the wake on keyboard feature doesn't seem to be working for my titan...darn

It doesn't work for me either, so I uninstalled it, since other parts weren't either. Looks like a neat tool though.

I tried this program. It didn't do what it said it would do and also when uninstalled left all the settings that it changed in place. Now I have to do a hard reset. Worthless.:mad:

The program was designed to make it easy to change certain registry settings. Perhaps you should've defaulted everything before uninstalling it.

Anyone know another way? This is a feature I'd really like to have :)

Has anyone discussed this with the developer? It seems like such a waste to do all that work on this app for it not to work properly. There is no place to post comments on the blog, and I noticed the app was just updated yesterday.

I'm leery of installing this with such drastic issues looming. I will e-mail him with a link to this post. His e-mail is pockettoolman@shaw.ca (mailto://pockettoolman@shaw.ca) which is in Canada.

Hi xfortrenox,

Can you give more information on what problems you were having with PT2? What device are you using? You're more than welcomed to email me at pockettoolman@shaw.ca.

I am not able to get the Wake on Slide Function to work on my Verizon xv6800.

Also, since I have installed Toolman, It replaced the CONTACT soft button with Toolman.

I tried to RESTORE the right soft button, but now I have a bunch of weird characters in its place.

Do I need to fix something in the registry to get back CONTACTS for my right soft button?

Thanks!

BTW, LOVE the program so far :D

I think that a wake on slide open for the titan would be a bad idea. The wake on slide open worked well on the htc apache,, although if you think about how the sliding mechanisms work the apache snapped closed, so it woudl not open easily, the titan on the other hand is spring loaded, so any various movements could trip the device to turn on(if the slide open powerup was enabled). I had wanted this feature at first, but soon realized how randomly the phone would turn on if it was shook or moved a certain way, allowing the phone to slide open the quarter inch required to activate the switch. just some random thoughts about this topic, thanks.

I will have to respectfully and vigorously disagree. First off the power button couldn't really be in a worse place - the bottom of landscape mode... holding it in landscape means none of your fingers could be farther away from the key.

I am still holding out hope to be able to power this thing on with a slide.

lol this thread got me all excited... downloaded app installed it and no worky.. normally i read the whole thread first before installing something but I was THAT excited for slidey wakey!

doesn't work :(

would be glad to test a new version out if u get this fixed toolman... I'm on verizon using xv6800 with Verizon signed OEM ROM.

[sanjsrik]

I'd be glad to beta a version that has wake on slide as well, using a sprint mogul with 2.17 ROM.

Yup I did the exact same here...

[Protonus]

Still no way to do Wake on Slide right?

[reekolu]

No, not that I know of.

[edeasknight]

that's really something HTC should have thought of themselves as a basic option - that I would even say should be enabled by default

those kind of things shouldn't require tweaking or flashing... can't wait for a dev to put some time on this one

[Protonus]

AFAIK It's simply a hardware limitation, as this functionality exists on other HTC phones :-(

But if someone found a way to enable this via software, I would gladly donate.

But if it is a hardware limitation on the Slide to Wake what makes the default chime when the keyboard is revealed?

There has to be a contact switch in there to make the sliding sound when opened and closed.

There definetly is, such a switch, it just doesn't seem to register / do anything while the phone is in suspend/sleep. It does on other HTC models. the developer of pocket toolman said that the hardware doesn't support this function.

I don't mean to ruin the party, but it seems that the switch you mentioned is only powered when the device is NOT asleep.. that is to say that if the Titan is asleep, the switch is useless.
