can you use power button to unlock, without swiping

Is there a way to unlock the phone without having to swipe to unlock. Just use the power button?

I do not think this is possible, just try download No Lock ro disable the slide unlock, it works for some people,

I use no lock. Can just hit home button to wake phone up now. Haven't had any problems with it. Works for me.

What did you use to disable the slide lock on 2.2? Because the option to disable it has been rmoved in 2.2 build.

Ok that is what I am using but I thought you was able to disable it without using No Lock.

..If you upgraded from 2.1 with the slide lock disabled then it was disabled after the upgrade to 2.2. with no other action needed on your part .

However(yep there is an "however" :p) if you ever do a factory reset or restore ever again then you will have the slide lock back.Then that's when something like NoLock is needed again ;)

Yes I know this, I original did this when I received my replacement device but I wanted something more reliable because I prefer WidgetLocker and the lock screen would come back from time to time and "No Lock" was the solution for me.

Screen mode widget might be another option...Just throwing this out there..it is what I have used since my first droid...has option to by pass lock, run as normal, or screen on always which is great for browsing.
