is there a way to wake up or power on the evo (or any android) without using the power button?, do they have an app where you could touch the screen a certain way or use one or any of the 4 buttons at bottom.
From sleep yes, but it will not boot up the phone. Double tap menu is set into android, sense added the slide down to unlock feature. You can check out an Eris, hero, or an incredible in the stores when it comes out to test it. I can even make a short video if you'd like later and host it on you tube. I'm on a 4 hour trip right now and don't have access to the camera
Here's the link. Sorry about the video quality, I took it on a Palm Pre (not trying to say its bad, but its a dark room). The first screen is the lock screen, then you can either slide or hit menu to get past it. 4 options, 3 posted
