I was wondering if there was a way to re-map the power button to the OK button so when i want to turn on my x1 screen instead of pressing the power button i press the Ok button or maybe another button?
would this be possible? thanks,
Not sure about the re-mapping, but there's a setting under settings>system>key lock that lets you wake up the device by pressing any hardware key.
I need this too!
Have you tried with one of the several button/key mapping tools available?
Did you tried long pressing end call button? Mine locks screen...
Cheers!
Edit: Try AE Button Plus to map your keys.

Hi
Does anyone know if there's any way of making the Kaiser power up from any of the other buttons? I find the power button quite fiddly to press so I'd like to try using the button in the centre of the D Pad (or one of the others) to turn it on, but then use S2U (slide to unlock) to stop me accidentally turning it on.
Thanks
Dan
I'm guessing that's a no then...
Settings->System->Key lock
"Do not lock buttons = device will power up when you press any button.
Brilliant - Just what I was looking for!
Thanks a lot!
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.

Anyone noticed if you mash keys you get the phone to do things? For example pressing on the keyboard R, T, and J at the same time acts as the standby button. I've noticed that there is also another button combo to increase/decrease volume and emulate the Menu key.
First off, why?
Second off, what are these other key combos?

My kaiser's power button is dead,,,How can I active the screen without power button? Sorry for my poor English.
Easy, just rewrite the kernel with ATools and under the button mapping part assign a new button.
I assigned the "end" button as well as the power button (there is an option for this inside a box to the left), that way I can wake my phone with either the power or end button.
Hope this helps...
