Best suggestion I can give you is to get root and use a ROM with trackball wake/unlock. This will reduce the use of the power button to almost nothing. You could also then use quick boot to allow reboot to recovery, bootloader or normal. All without touching the power button ever.
Some devices have faulty power button. Some don't.
I don't know how lucky you are with your device, and I don't know how gentle you are with the power button, so it's impossible to tell if your power button will fail or not.
In any case, as suggested above, using trackball wake can lower the chances of it failing.
U said some have some dont... that mean not all could possible became faulty.. usually how long the device became faulty? 4 month? 6 month? Or over 1 years? Currently im using widgetlocker to unlock via trackball...

I have had mine since about a week after release. My power button is still like new. I have never had to push it twice to do the same thing.
Mine broke about a month ago, i bought ti a couple of weeks after release.
I used quick boot to reboot it, screen off and lock app to turn the screen off, trackball wake to turn it on. And if you need to turn the phone back on, you can plug it into power and pull the battery a few times.
Power button is fine after a year. But I avoid it as much as possible by using Quick boot, Lock, & Trackball wake.
That mean all possible became faulty!!. Right now im avoid it using power button.. i use widgetlocker and screen off and lock free on market.it help me to turn off screen without touch ur power button

It's kinda strange, I keep hearing of these issues with the power button...
I had to have dropped my N1 at least 5 times straight on the power button. Almost split the device in half one time doing it. Power button never failed on me, nor did any other hardware come to think of it. And I still sold it. lol.

It IS a possibility that your power button will go bad. It is a possibility it may not. No one can say for sure that, yes your power button will quit working. The less you physically push it, the longer it will last, obviously.
Mines been fine and I've been using it regularly since April, I think the issue affected more of the early Nexuses than the later made ones.
My power button is starting to lose it's functionality and I am sad about it. It's still usable but my alternatives is using quickboot, trackball wake, and lock screen app. I barely use my power button now.

Hi, everyone!
Recently, I installed CyanogenMod 7 which is probably the reason of damaged Power button. I've been keeping it pressed for a long time with X/camera/volume up etc. Anyways, I've been using it for nearly a year now, so.. I still have warranty, but it's not the case. Since I don't want to send it back yet, I come up with this question.
How to power on my Milestone WITHOUT using power button whatsoever? Even entering bootloader mode requires me to press it. Any ideas?
Even impractical ones, I don't turn it off very often, but I need to know that in case of emergency..
tried plugging it into a wall charger while its off? it always boots up my droid automatically

Oh, thank you. As far as I remember, it happened to me several times, but mosstly - there is just waving battery icon.. thanks for response though!
Additionally, how to lock screen without using Power button?-.- or access sound/flight mode/turn off menu?
cm7 has status bar toggles for all of that, if you still have it installed. dont know if theres any way to access the regular phone options menu without using the power button though, sorry

Well, I turned on status bar widgets and Locking widget too, but.. it apparently disables auto-locking screen, instead of locking on demand..
The go to sleep status bar widget in cm7 interface settings. That's the one that shuts off the screen and locks the phone. Tried it myself before posting.

Geez.
I apologize for caused confusion, I didn't notice it at first... I set my volume up/down as waking buttons and widget for going to sleep
Awesome support, splashattack, thank you very much!
I am having same problem.
I connect my cell to my laptop and it starts. I am using custom ROM.
I want to rollback to stock, so that I can avail warranty on it.
Any idea how to enter bootloader mode without power button
I tried terminal emulator
su
reboot recovery
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But it reboots to OR not to bootloader.
Any solution for bootloader ? or any command?
EDIT
Its solved. I have assigned volume rocker for screen unlock,
I rebooted it using terminal emulator, Pressed and hold volume rocker + Dpad - up and I entered bootloader.
i am always thinking that a button at the front would have been great in order to unlock the phone easier....
try button remapper
When I shut down my phone, the screen will go black and it will vibrate like normal. Last I checked the vibrate was to confirm that it was completely shut off. Instead, the four touch sensitive buttons will light up and stay lit until I turn the phone back on or, of course, pull the battery. This is also keeping me from entering download mode. A few days ago the phone was shutting down correctly and I have been able to enter download mode, but now the problem is going on again. I'm on official 2.2 Froyo updated through kies mini. My phone is rooted, but this problem occurred before I rooted.

Sounds like a warranty replacement.
I've had it for over a year. I wonder why it's just now doing this.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
I think I have come to a conclusion on why it doesn't seem to shut down completely and would need someone with a captivate that has all fully functional buttons. I believe that since my power button sticks, when the phone vibrates to confirm a shutdown, the capacitive touch button lights will not shut off until the power button is released. So if someone wouldn't mind shutting their phone off while holding the power button and tell me if you can make the lights come on after the vibrate while holding power button? Thanks in advance.

Phone won't turn on when I click the power button with this lock. Happens with Ripple Lock too from same developer. Nexus S 4G running CM7. I have to push the volume buttons to turn the phone on.
Any ideas?
Maybe something with cm7. Im running it on stock rom 2.3.5 with netarchy kernal bfs 1.3.8. Everything is working fine for me. Been running it the last 3 days with no problems. Only thing I don't like is that the volume buttons wake the phone.

In ripple lock you need to set to double lock option 2 in the settings. It should fix it.

Also in MIUI... just like that, may be because using the same code.
i dont think its possible to even remap keys i have tried and failed...
what happens is that when our phone goes in sleep mode... the softkeys get disabled.

The volumes key still are hard key. As we used it in cwm recovery I think it could be done by mod.
