Power Button Malfunction... Any way to remap and disable? - Motorola Droid and Milestone General

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.

Things to do
(a) Weak battery? Check your battery. To avoid this problem, plugin your charger
(b) Faulty power button? Try switching your unit off with the button. Is it functioning (the button), if not button problem.

Change power button toa different one?

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.

[Q] How to active screen without power button

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...

Annoying power button location

Hi.
I've got the rog phone 2 button am getting really annoyed by accidently pressing the power button every time I pick the phone up.
The button is exactly in middle.
I pick the phone up from middle as its a good balancing point to stop it from falling.
Anyone else having the same problem?
Any fixes or remap to make you press combination of power and volume to power on/off?
Cheers
