I've rooted my phone successfully, and then tried to fix something that's been bothering me since I got it. Every single hard button wakes the phone. I want only the power button to wake the phone.

I did some research and found that the .kl or key layout files in /system/usr/keylayout control this behavior. As an experiment I focused on disabling the WAKE property on just the VOLUME_UP key in every file where it appeared in that directory. I removed the .BAK files, rebooted, but VOLUME_UP still wakes the phone.

Can someone tell me what I am missing? Owners of other phones report successes changing all sorts of buttons this way. Is the Commando overriding this somewhere else?

Does anyone even have a wild guess?

 

Looking at that thread unlocked my brain freeze. When I first read about how to do it I thought there was WAKE, WAKE_DROPPED and none. In other words, I just left the property blank. Now I realize you have to actually set it to the property "NONE".

Thanks again.
