Wake with bezel button

[Papa Yoyo]

This would be useful to know. Could cause accidental wake-ups when carrying though.

Not exactly what you were asking for but there is an app for waking your pc using phone:

How To Turn On Your PC With Your Android Phone Using Wake-On-LAN

I have a case with a cover and the cover doesn’t touch the button because of the design of the case, I think accidents wouldn’t happen with me.

I know it’s possible to wake a Surface with it.

In my case (pun intended) the power button causes the accidental wake-ups since the side of the case regularly touches the buttons. Isn’t bezel button capacitive? It may be more convenient to sleep/wake-up the tablet by a capacitive button, if it’s posible.

I have no idea…

My case doesn’t touch the power button, can you show me your case?

I’ve noticed pressing any key on the official keyboard/case wakes it up from sleep. That’s one way to save the power button.

I’m not always with the keyboard. Sometimes I take it to places the keyboard would take too much space like the treadmill.

Mine wake up from sleep, but if it’s hibernating, the power button is the only way to go.

Mine doesn’t, am I missing anything? I disabled hibernating, maybe it’s the issue… the button simply does not work when it’s sleeping but works 100% when the screen is on.

Mine won’t wake from sleep by the windows bezel button either.

Guys, run this command on elevated prompt. Cloppy, you are important to do this since you can wake your device

powercfg /devicequery wake_armed

This will tell you what can wake your device, mine says none. Please post your results. We can force the same result as Cloppy’s using the command powercfg /deviceenablewake folowed by the name of the device.

I tried powercfg /devicequery wake_armed, I got “NONE”. I tried to search for powercfg commands to locate a potential device to put after powercfg /deviceenablewake , and they seem to list the devices that potentially might wake, not the actual onboard devices available to wake. I looked in BIOS and there is no “wake on lan”, etc section, like on most bioses. I tried to wake with my bluetooth headset and that didn’t work. I think we need a more knowledgeable person to advise us.

I think for Bluetooth you need to prevent Windows to put it to sleep, mine turns Bluetooth off when sleeping. It will eat more battery.

with keyboard attached mine says:

HID Keyboard Device

HID-compliant mouse (001)

In Device Manager if you double click the keyboard there’s an option for power management >> allow this device to wake the computer. The wifi card also has this option. Also many devices in the “Human Interface Devices”. I’ve enabled it for everything possible but still the bezel button is completely dead when the tablet sleeps 🙁

I don’t have a “HID-compliant consumer control device”. o;O I have 1 “HID-compliant vendor-defined device”
