I've done a search and cannot find the information.
Basically i've removed the trayicons on the bottom of my wing. I am using battery status, but sometimes it does not lock the device automatically. Until i lock it manually first.
So i am trying to find the shortcut or link to device lock/unlock.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Well.... if you are using the Wing then, keep holding the end call button. That will lock the device. Unlock will be same as before.
Hope that helps.

Don't know... on the Wing you can't hold one of the buttons down to put the phone on vibration mode, either. One phone has one feature, the other one doesn't.

HAHA, sometimes it's a good thing to loose your temper, then. lol
This doesn't work on my Wing. It's probably because I'm using TouchIT which isn't based from the TMO rom.
Mine is a stupid question.
Looking at my new nexus s the hardware buttons are protruding unlike the old motoria milestone.
They feel not so rocks so I was thinking, what if the power button break?
How turn on the phone or wake up it? How to enter recovery?
if you're worried try to use it as little as possible
my nexus s wakes up when i touch the screen and locks when i put it into my pocket (proximity sensor). So i use the power button about once a week to reboot.
but if it breaks nontheless - send your nexus to samsung they'll fix it.
ive been with a broken power button for almost 5 months now. i use the volume rocker to wake, and the lockscreen widget to lock the phone. also, i use the twrp recovery that has options to use for a select instead of the power button. ive even forgotten that i had a working power button
I would just contact Samsung the phone hasn't been out for a year yet. They should cover this just make sure your phone is unrooted and running stock.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

Ok I understand that it's possible to use the phone also without the power button but how do you turn on?
How do you enter recovery without it?

How do you have this function? What rom do you use?
CM7 has the wake key functions. CWM recovery also allows the use of the soft keys.

many ways..
in the terminal emulator app type..
su(press enter)
reboot recovery(press enter)
or there are many apps that will boot you into recovery, like RootBooter.
if all else fails, you can enter recovery via adb or fastboot too, via your computer. once you stop using the power button, you will "see" many ways around it. there are root apps that can remap your buttons too.

Wait wait.
1.000.000$ question
All the operations described suppose the phone is ON right?
What if you finish your battery or the nexus is off? How to turn on the phone without power button?

i gently flick the back of the phone(right under the lens) with my finger), and instantly, the phone powers up. since i test the trinity kernel before releases, i get many that dont boot, and need to go straight into recovery to flash another kernel so that my phone could boot. i do the same thing with the gentle flick to the back of the phone. i boot the phone into fastboot mode, select recovery, then instead of pressing the power button to select recovery, i gently flick the back of the phone right under the lens and the recovery option gets selected. from there i flash another kernel(or rom) and boot the phone. i havent had any issues for the past 5 months doing this, and i flash many times almost each and every day.

Hope it works for you.

Hi, my little italian friend ! I hope you will solve your problem
I have to say, i am truelly interested in how you can get your phone to turn off when you put it in your pocket. Would save me alot of button presses.
I'm currently looking into the Cyanogen 7.1 lockscreen menu but can't seem to find anything for the proximity sensor.
Please enlighten us.

I have no button problem (read the thread object).
Mine is just a curiosity to know how to proceed if this happens.
Thank you

Could you tell us more about your setup? How did you managed to lock it by putting in your pocket?
EDIT: didn't realize there are more pages in this thread, so another user already asked my question. Waiting for the answer...

Hi All,
I have HTC salsa, few months its Power button stop working on gentle press and now its totaly gone.
And if I left my phn switched off after 20 24 hrs. its starts automatically..if I remove its battery and re insert it, phone starts automatically.
I go to service center but he said that button is connected to mother board thus whole mother board will be replaced and it will cost some 90 $.
So is there anyone who can help me or faced any such issue?
one more consiquence of this problem is that if my phone's gone in sleep mode then its ring become active and the only way to get the screen is either I have to call on ,y number or plug in the charger.
So is there any app which can disble that ring.
Phone is running on Original rom nothing special treatment is provided to it and I cant do anything on it as I dont have PC connectivity for that mobile.
Please help me.
Thanks

Try holding one of the volume buttons while pressing power. A friend of mine had the same problem and we found this workaround accidentally.
No idea why it worked.
