My stock Verizon rom had this cool feature when I press the end key when the screen is off, the screen would light up and say in the top corner "screen is off, press the top button to turn on". Anyway to get that back? I actually really like that feature.

that would be a cool feature that now I want......lol

Re: One of my favorite features is missing in the new rom...
 

to remind you the end key is not "backlight on"?

Re: One of my favorite features is missing in the new rom...
 

to remind you the screen if off...........

Re: One of my favorite features is missing in the new rom...
 

isn't it just telling you that you hit the wrong button???

Re: One of my favorite features is missing in the new rom...
 

Can't you tell your screen is off by looking at it?

I didn't want to seem rude but ^

Does anyone know how I can add an alarm to my alarm clock to make sure I know it's set. Like a constant beeping.

:-D

I actually have thought about why they separated the power and screen off and I know why it's useful to me to have them separate....Have you ever needed to shut your phone off for something, (for instance, going into a long meeting but would like to conserve battery rather than just having it on silent and wasting battery) but you don't remember if you actually shut the phone off or not? Before, when the buttons were the same, to check the on/off status you would have to press the power/backlight on key and it would actually turn the phone on if it was off. You would have to wait for the phone to start up before you could shut it back down or take out the battery. In addition, if the volume was up (rather than vibrate or silent) and you had a startup sound you would be embarassed in the meeting. Now you can press the backlight key to see if the phone is on or not and if nothing happens you know it's off. Perhaps a visual aid as in what the the OP was refering to is just another way to verify the on/off status.

Some of you may think looking at a black screen is telling that it's off, but for some, it's VERY confusing.

Re: One of my favorite features is missing in the new rom...
 

To be honest with you, before seeing this post i didn't realize the importance of it telling you that you hit the wrong button.....but now i see and realize that it is sort of important

Re: One of my favorite features is missing in the new rom...
 

my vzw phone does it

Re: One of my favorite features is missing in the new rom...
 

How would I tell if the screen is on?

Re: One of my favorite features is missing in the new rom...
 

You sniff it.

Re: One of my favorite features is missing in the new rom...
 

probably because you are still running stock I'm guessing.

Before this thread continues into a discussion about why one would want this, does any have/know of a cab to enable this? I would like to have it back. :)

Re: One of my favorite features is missing in the new rom...
 

or you could just slide the keyboard out to see if its on

Re: One of my favorite features is missing in the new rom...
 

Or the stylus, especially if you have disabled the keyboard out=on becuase you hase a magnetic clasp on your holster that otherwise turns the screen on.

Re: One of my favorite features is missing in the new rom...
 

Well, I don't use it to see if the screen is on, I have my brightness on max, so I can tell the difference. ;)

I use it for the quick low level light. Anyone know how to get it back (on a flashed rom)?

Re: One of my favorite features is missing in the new rom...
 

i'm guessing the only way to tell if the screen is on touch the power button or slide the keyboard out.

DUH!!!

Re: One of my favorite features is missing in the new rom...
 

For those long meetings may I recommend Airplane mode.

This thread was funny at first but now it is just sad.

Re: One of my favorite features is missing in the new rom...
 

Whenever I have been in meetings where I needed to make absolutely sure the phone is off, I pull the battery. It makes no difference since I was going to completely turn the phone off anyway and then there is no doubt that it can't turn on no matter how many times I press the button.

Re: One of my favorite features is missing in the new rom...
 

I can see the value of this feature. Since phones don't often blink to show you they are in service any more. They stopped that with the TP, didn't they?

Re: One of my favorite features is missing in the new rom...
 

OP fyi this feature is back in Juicy R8
