[Brudertac]

Hi all,

the new Xperia Mini goes ON when i press the Home Button. (and with the Power Button too)...

Is there a way to disable Power ON with the Home Button?

Thanks!

Not that I know of. I actually like pressing the home button to turn on phone. Its more natural for me bc iv been using iphone for long time. To each his own I guess

Why is it you have a problem? just wonderin

Too bad...
Using a Leather Case, and the Close "Button" is direct over the Home Button.
So everytime the Case is "Pressed" the Phone turns on.

ahhh i see. at least is minimal drain on the battery for lock screen to be on 10-20 sec.
but then again the battery life for xperia isn't all that great so i see your concern. guess back to playing the waiting game

Yes, but i like the Phone really!

Just wrote an eMail to SonyEricsson...

Try this (you need to be rooted):

1. using root explorer or similar, go to folder /system/usr/keylayout, make sure the filesystem is mounted as R/W
2. edit file pm8058_keypad.kl
3. change the following line:

key 102   HOME            WAKE_DROPPED

into this:

key 102   HOME

4. save the file, reboot and done
