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.

How does your power key performs? I mean mine responds only when hard pressed or pressed by the right side part of it.
I asked this because all my LG devices have these pretty hard to press hardware keys in contrast to my SE devices.
Comes on at any sign of a click, can do far left, far right etc. Button itself is perfect.
How old is your phone? Worn out over time a possibility ?
there's a mod that lets you wake via volume buttons if you're into that.

can u tell me what mod. u mean exactly? any instructions?
Use widgetlocker and in use easy-wake mode. It lets you wake up the phone with any hardware button.

Or in case you're using CM or MIUI, theres an option to enable that in the settings menu.

I just tried it and it doesn't work. How do you press volume up and down at the same time? It's a rocker switch.

It's not a rocker switch. If you take the phone apart you will see that the volume up and down buttons are both separate. VOL UP + VOL DOWN + POWER works for me especially when I have a bootloop.
Either not trying hard enough or you have something wrong.
Doesn't work for me!! I've tried several times maybe its something else...

Oh, when it's a hard lock freeze it's a different story.
The combination will always work if you are not fully frozen or bootlooped, or your governer is lagging/slow to response.
Try it right now while you are not frozen.
Not gonna lie this is the first I've heard of this.

Nope, still not working for me. The buttons are definitely pressed.
I'm on CM7 w/ Lord Clockan kernel if that matters.
It works!! vol up + vol down + power = reboot.
been reading the forum and fear of frying the emmc chip...
Try holding the three down until it resets .should be 15 seconds MAX and that's giving it more than enough time.

My phone has been water damaged and the power button no longer works,I searched the forums and found a thread regarding remapping volume button to work as power button but this was for the captivate, will this be the same for sgs2, does anyone have a link to explain how to do it, my phone is stock and not rooted, thanks in advance

Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
C can't see how button remapping will help, you will still be short of a button?
The problem is everytime my phone runs out of battery the only way to get it back on is to remove and replace the battery, this sometimes takes ages too re boot the phone, so I want to replace one of my hard keys for a power button i.e. the up volume on the rocker button, in a different thread it explained how to do it on the Samsung captivate, by re mapping the buttons

It would seem that the closer I get to buying my SGS III, the more my cappy starts to fall apart.
Recently the power button has been on the fritz, pressing itself and opening up the power menu at random intervals as well as turning my screen on and off whenever it damn well feels like it. It's infuriating to say the least.
Is there any way to completely disable the power button so I can just use workarounds until I get my SGS III? All of the searching I've done thus far has turned up nada.
Also, yes I have taken my phone out and cleaned it with compressed air and that didn't do a damn thing. I'm pretty sure I've knocked the connection loose from all of the abuse I've given it over the last year or so.

Go to /system/usr/keylayouts/aries- keypad.kl
And erase the line with key 116 power in it, and from there you can rename any key the new power button and then reboot. I just had to do this to my phone as well I feel your pain!

Awesome. Can I still use the key combo to get into recovery and boot my phone with the power button after I make the change?
And if I rename the search key to power button do I leave it as virtual or change it to wake?
Should it be:
Key 217 Power Virtual
Or
Key 217 Power Wake
I just want to get the syntax right the first time around. Again, you're awesome and thanks a ton!
Edit:
Got the power button remapped to the search key. Problem with that though, is that I forgot the capacitive keys don't register touch when the screen is off lol. Derp.
Edit2:
Went ahead and mapped it to a volume key. Thanks again for saving my sanity!

No problem. I don't know what rom you run but if you have the volume awake feature you can use the volumes to wake the phone and then use the search "power" button to lock and reboot and stuff.
Also this remap only applies once android has booted up so it has no affect on when in recovery or download or off anything like that.

Yeah im on AOKP, so I was going to use it like you described until I read somewhere that it changed the key used to boot up and get into recovery. I didn't want to take the chance of having to figure out how to boot my phone without a power button.

You could go to setting->display->volume key wakes up phone option. If youre worried about not being able to get into recovery, download rom manager if you dont already have it. There is an option to do several things like booting into recovery, backup roms, partition SD card, fix permissions, etc. What about that?

Thanks for the reply. I actually had that option enabled already when I was using the search key as a power button. Turns out though, that the volume keys dont wake the phone if you're playing music (which is like half of the time I have my phone on me outside of work lol). In the end, im just using the volume down key as a power button and its working well for me so far. If I need to get into recovery I can still use the power menu. As for not being able to power up the phone when it was bound to the search key, it's now turning on the moment the battery is inserted, so no worries there anymore ;P

My phone started to act really strange today. When i press power/lock button it wont lock it turns off phone immediately. Sometime it just gives powers screen (wher you can turn off,restart or go in airplane mode). Butt its really strange. I can turn off my phone only if i unplug battery.
So the problem is that when i press power/lock button it will restart or wont happend anything.
Im long on this ROM and its not problem with it. I tryed go on stock ROM and same thing happends.
Anyone have some suggestion ?

Try 2 hold 8 seconds on power button, if this phone will reboot - it's software problem. Just flash a new firmware LT6 for ur phone.
If it does not work, try 2 disassemble ur phone, and watch area nearly power button. If it's damaged go 2 service.
My opinion plastic nearly power button area is damaged, or this is firmware trouble in UI.
Nothing happend after 8 sec's
