I'm running ApeX 5.2 on my Captivate and, for some reason, the power key has stopped working recently. Everytime I hold the key to bring up the menu, it does nothing except the quick vibrate. I tried to re-flash the device, which fixed it until I rebooted.
Any suggestions or anything I'm not thinking of?

I'm wondering if you guys have any fix for my problem
Here it goes :
One click on power button, it does a screen lock.
The problem is that when i hold my power button, it off the phone by itself.
I'm wondering if I want to bring back the menu when you hold the power button down? ( Besides flashing a new rom of course )
ie. Turn Power Off
Enable Flight Mode
Off Data Connection
Silent Mode
on Darkys v4.1 2.2 Froyo
Mine just started to behave like this aswell. Not out of the blue though, something went wrong with a flash and the phone got corrupted. I fixed it by installing a rom again with cwm and restored backups. Phone works fine now (as far as ive tested) except the powerbutton behaves like you describe, it makes the phone vibrate a few times and then reboots, without showing the menu to opt for shutdown and other options. Very frustrating.
Considering the way it happened im pretty sure some sort of corruption is the cause. I think a full flash with odin or heimdall may be needed. Will report back if I find out how to fix it.
Edit: I cwm-flashed extended power menu to restore my powermenu (well, replace it with custom). Still not sure what caused it, I think careless flashing, possibly involving an incompatible package.
I know the power button is functioning, as it will popup the shutdown dialog if I hold it down, but it no longer locks and turns off the screen. Any ideas? I've tried messing with all the settings I can find in Spare Parts, NookColor Tools, Settings but nothing seems to be making the power button lock the screen. I have rebooted the NC a couple of times now. Also, not having the problem in HC or Froyo. I'm running an autonootered 1.01.
Did you mess with your hard-key? I mean, did you reconfigure your vol + and vol -? You might have messed up the power key.
If not...
Go to your launcher settings and you might be able to redefine what the power button does when pressed (aka turn off screen)
I have, but that was weeks ago. I haven't actually changed any settings on the default OS install in quite some time, aside from messing with Set CPU settings. :/
Anyway -- like I said, long press on the power key works fine, so it is some software setting somewhere.
Anyone? Bueller? This is super irritating.
i experience the same problem, everything worked fine but sudenlly the power button wont lock the screen. another hitn might be that i also mess with cpu speed, cpu master free is the app name
I had the same issue as well..

Thanks ulkas, that did the trick.
I tried searching the forums but I couldn't find anything about my specific issue.
I have a samsung galaxy s 19000m
The problem is my soft keys, specifically the "go back" key or return key, lags. Sometimes when i press it the light shuts off and it just hangs for awhile and then finally works. The phone is frozen, as I can use the touchscreen just fine. It's like the button is "sticking" because when it freezes if I hit the home key it will take a screenshot.
I was using darkyrom 10.2.2 when it started to happen after a few months. I've recently installed simplicity 2.1 and it still has the problem with the keys, but installing cyanogen mod 7 I haven't had any problems with the key malfunctioning. However, I want to use simplicity 2.1, not cyanogen.
Any solutions as to why this is happening and how to fix it?
I've been using CM9 on the touchpad for a long time without any problem. but recently, whenever I tried to reboot the pad by pushing the power bottom, instead of showing the power menu, I got the volume up menu. I can still use the power button to turn on/off the screen. So, it seems the hardware is still OK. I already updated to the latest nightly, still the same problem. Anyone knows what's going on and how to fix it? At least, is there another way to reboot the pad?
Thanks,
I recently upgraded from 4.2 to 4.3 (Slim Bean) and suddenly my Power button doesn't work well.
When I press it, it doesn't wake the screen (not all the time, sometimes it does.)
When I remove the battery and put it in, the phone turns on immediately without me pressing the power button.
Sometimes the shutdown menu comes up randomly.
In CWM, I can't select anything ( the power button was used to select things in the menu.
Is it related to the upgrade, or is it just a coincidence of broken parts?
Any advice/workarounds?
Thanks!
It is a coincidence. Turn off the phone and try to turn it back on. Do you have the same issue? Note that Slim is not even loaded yet. Try to clean the button, search how, many threads on this subject here. Workaround is called Volume Rocker Wake, it's in ROM settings. Different place on different ROMs, but almost all custom ROMs have it. Good luck!
