My HTC Hero has developed a fault that makes the system believe the trackball is being constantly held. I managed to block this at the OS level, but it still seems to be affecting power management (the device never goes to sleep, so battery life is abysmal). Reading the explanation below suggests that I would have to block this input at the keypad driver level to prevent keypad-scan wakelocks.
http://source.android.com/porting/power_management.html#androidPowerWakeLocks Examining "/proc/wakelocks" shows that "gpio_kp" has significantly larger "active since", "total time" "sleep time" and "max time" values than anything else, which supports my assumption that it is the kepad driver keeping the phone awake. I have very little experience when it comes to C and Linux, so I'm struggling to work out where and how to block these signals. I've found the "input.h" file under "include/linux", and the problem key is defined on line 393: #define BTN_MOUSE 0x110 But here is where I come unstuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated! -- unsubscribe: android-kernel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-kernel
