I can't disable the home screen button from waking up the phone. I wear dress pants at work with thin pockets. So when the button is pressed it starts random cap in my pocket please help me

Here is how to fully disable the home button.
You must have root and app like root explorer.

Go to root, system/usr/keylayout scroll down to the file gpio-keys.kl,
mount to R/W and open with text editor.

You'll see the key layout for wake selections on the one listed as HOME
delete the word "wake" and all the spaces between it, click menu and save
then exit and reboot the phone.

Good luck!

Thanks but I use to do that and it would work with no problem, but now it doesn't work since I updated to NF1. This is a screen shot of what the file looks like now.

yup, i have. on startup i sometimes see a "E" indicating that theres some data i think, but after 5 seconds it disappears.
I would respectfully suggest double checking the APN settings. A space or comma in the wrong place can foul things up. If you change anything in the APN don't forget to save it (menu key, save). If you're still unable to connect i would try a clean reinstall. It wouldn't hurt.

Good luck and let us know how it turns out.

I hope it helps.
