Power Button Malfunction... Any way to remap and disable?

Hello,
I have a Telus Milestone and the power button seems to have malfunctioned. It seems to be randomly sending presses to the phone. The screen will randomly turn on and off and bring the power button hold menu.
When booted into recovery at the exclamation mark screen, the phone will randomly turn off as if the power button was pressed.
Is there any way to remap the power button in android to do nothing, and then remap the camera button to act as the power button? Thanks!

AFAIK a simple remap of the power button could not be done in software.
The power button is not like the other buttons.
It is physically connected to special signal on PMU to suspend and resume the CPU.
If you got some technical skill, it might be physically replaced by soldering.
Also have a look at your flex cable which is connected to the outter buttons, maybe there's some physical damage.

[Q] Prevent Captivate from "Power Off"

I have a Captivate with bricked power button. I disassembled the phone, tried to press the pushbutton soldered to the PCB, but the phone won't recognize the 'click'. Updating to teamhacksung build 12 doesn't help either. So, I re-assigned the power button to the Search capacitive button.
However, one problem lingers. If I long-press the Search button, it will bring up the "Power Off" option normally appears when you long-press the normal power button. I don't want to turn off my phone as it may not turn on again now that the power button is bricked (currently, phone immediately turns on after I re-insert battery). Is there a way to remove this "Power Off" option?
Thanks

First of all, I suggest you immediately remove your search button as your power button. If your phone turns off, which you say your on ICS build 12 (which is still pre-beta software... aka - unstable) it is very likely your phone will turn off one day, and you're screwed. I suggest you take your phone to an att store and see if you can get an exchange. Use a hardware button as your power button, i.e. your volume keys

This has happened to me once and I recall someone else on the forum also had that issue. Just turn off the phone by holding the power and volume up together. The power button should work as normal after that.

Seems a software bug. Happens to me sometimes too.

[Q] Is a "Hard reset" the same as a power cycle?

My Z1 will not work properly with my Garmin GPS. I need the GPS to manage calls when on a motorcycle. I really don't want to re-build my phone unless completely necessary (and especially not if there is an inherent compatibiliy issue!). So, I was wondering whether the hard reset using the "hidden" button was the same as powering off and on. If it's a deeper process, I'll give it a go and see whether my issues are resolved.
Thanks

Red button and power botton is not the same.
1. Red button doesn't properly shut down your phone (umount filesystems, wait for application finished correctly etc)
2. Red button make "deeper" shutdown. I find it when trying to fix problem with charging. No power button or power+vol combination helps, only red button do.
It seems like you cut off power cable on your computer, when red button pressed

[Q] Turn on device with vol- button

Hello,
I've a problem with power button, it is damaged, and turn it on is very difficult so I've thought that the best way to do it is remapping vol- button to behave as power button and I've already found how to do it.
Could this fix work???
Is there another way to turn it on without power button???
Thanks for help
