With SHR, the normal use for AUX is to lock/unlock the screen. This is 
useful when you can't suspend, but still want to put the phone in a 
pocket where accidental pressing may happen.

For example, when the gps is in use when walking/bicycling/skiing. AUX 
protects against wrong keypresses that at worst could stop the gps 
logging. And AUX is also easy to press - even with gloves - in order to 
take a quick look at the map.
