Re: tired of pressing power button

start-->settings-->system-->key lock

you can choose the last option. but that will wake up your phone when you hit any button.

thanks. that is very close to what I need. How can I assign the OK button as the only button to wake up the phone?

Start - Settings - System Tab
Select Key Lock
highlight the last button - Do not lock buttons

This should work for you

why can't the dimond be turned on like the iphone? pressing the iphone big and soft buton is much better than pressing the diamond small and flat button
Holy cow! Now it just sounds like you're complaining on anything you can find with that comment about pulling out the stylus. I mean the thing is magnetic, it's not like it requires a combination lock to take out and push back in.

However, maybe you should post at xda-developers to see if they know an app or can write an app to turn the center button to turn on the device.

That would be actually a good adition to the phone. I myself would like that... if you find the way, please PM me... if I find it, I will let you know... but I think the XDA forums would be a great place to ask... but I am always lazy on to registering to post...
