Greetings :O)
I have a friend who broke his nexus one power button, So what I did is installed a free utility called "wakeall", Which allows to unlock the phone from sleep state via volume buttons.
I also installed "Screen off and lock utility" so he can turn his screen off manually (sleep mode).
I encountered a problem :
When i turn on the phone from sleep mode via the volume button, It turns the wifi on by itself.
The rom is original 2.3.6 as i observed (it's not a rooted machine in my opinion.
I'll appreciate how to solve this.
Thank you
Got it - It was from something called Battery Booster that had a setting to turn wifi on after screen unlock..
Thank you (And Thank me too :O)

Hi, i have a HTC touch diamond and the power button is broken but the phone is out of warranty so thats not an option. I would like any ideas on how i could lock and unlock my phone with out using the power button. I have tried many options already but the main problem i am running into is, after i turn the screen off on the phone it turns back on after about 5seconds and then turns back off after another 5seconds then turns on after 2 then back off after 5. This is obviously a problem as the battery is draining very quickly. Any help would be greatly appreciated
it's a great problem ...........

this just happened to me. i was running miui at the time. if you can get miui onto your phone it has an option in button settings to use the volume rocker to turn the screen on. then i used the lock button in the notification bar to turn it off. also used a widget on the lockscreen via widgetlocker to turn the screen off so i could just turn it on to check the time/sms/email notifs real fast then turn it right back off. it took a bit getting used to the new process but hey, it worked. i ended up calling att about it and they said i still had 6 days left on my warranty so i went and exchanged it. att gives you 1 year warranty with a new captivate purchase. there may be a mod or something somewhere that allows for button reassignment. button savior maybe.

not sure about that one
Is your cappy rooted? What ROM are you using? Or is it stock? I had the same problem with my experimental captivate I bought on eBay. I found a way to remap the volume button to wake the phone. This will make it a bit of a hassle to change the volume, but it was not a big deal for me since it was my experimental phone.
Off the top of my head the best way to get into recovery mode with bad buttons would be to flash a kernel or ROM that has an extended power menu.

Just remembered theres an app in the market called quick boot. It says you can boot into recovery with it but I haven't tried it. There may be other apps that do the same.

Hi everyone,
So my issue is one that I don't see anywhere else, hence this thread. I'm not entirely sure if it's a hardware or software issue, and I'd like your help/suggestions (pls)
If I boot the phone via "normal startup" or whatever it is from fastboot mode, it boots. However, after I get into the OS, if I press the power key to take the screen off, and I press it again to turn it back on, it doesn't turn back on. The phone still operates - it receives calls, I hear all sounds, I can even tap by memory to get to different settings, but the screen won't turn on at all until I boot into fastboot and reselect the normal startup option.
I tried enabling tap to wake via custom kernel, reassigning the volume keys to turn it on, but it simply doesn't work. I get the same issue if I double tap to sleep (the top bar) and then double tap to wake. I don't know what else to try - any suggestions?
I'm wholly ready to just call it a loss (I already have a new Moto G) but it would be cool if I could somehow revive this one. The reason I decided not to use the warranty is because I was pretty sure it had already been voided since my mother dropped it in water. As I said, this may be a hardware issue, but I'm not entirely sure and I'd like your opinions/suggestions?
For reference, it had this issue while on stock as well. It ran the latest update Motorola had sent out. It's the XT1063.
Thanks in advance!
Hello, today I wanted to turn on screen on my watch but it seems to just not work, touch works properly , button too I can reboot it by pressing power button for a while but screen won't turn on even after rebooting.
In addition since yesterday watch after going to ambient mode changed screen color to orange like maby that can help ?
Edit: Im not sure if i can reboot it
Hello friends,
My situation:
Out of the blue my phone stopped responding to the wake-up action. Every time I lock it, I have to restart for the screen to turn on again. The power button is working just fine, since I can go to recovery mode and use it to select options there. I even installed a somewhat wrong version of the TWRP recovery that would not boot to the main OS, but the power/lock button would work just fine in recovery, putting the phone to sleep and waking it up. I reverted the instalation after so I could boot to the main OS ( Android 10). I tried reinstalling(from an official image of the rom) the full rom, incluing everything from OS to Bootloader, and could not make the wakeup action work again. Once my phone is on, if I lock it, I have to force a restart to turn the screen on again. I even tried sending a direct command to the OS using adb shell input keyevent KEYCODE_POWER and KEYCODE_WAKEUP to no success. Even tough I made sure other common events like opening the camera (KEYCODE_CAMERA) were working when the screen was on, and I bet it was working when the screen was off too, but it would not wakeup the screen and I would not be able to see the camera view finder.
My phone is a Samsung galaxy A30, model SM-A305G, currently in Android 10.
I think I described the problem good enough, but If anyone have a problem understanding it, just let me know and I try to explain it better.
Can anyone help me out here? I tried a lot of things to not success.
Thanks!
I have the exact problem you described, did you find any solution ?

flash official ROM with Odin or with twrp
I tried several different official roms by odin but nothing changed.
Power button and volume rockers works perfectly in recovery or download mode but in the OS volume rockers do not do anything (nor volume button commands from adb shell) and if I press the power button phone sleeps and never wakes up.
Very very strange at this stage I disabled sleep and with a amoled black bacground using the phone but I really wonder wtf is going on ?

I made furher research about the issue and here is what i've found.
Some videos mentioned same problem in similar samsung models and they stated that changing the daughterboard that connected to motherboard via screen flex resolved the issue. Other videos reflowed the connector in the motherboard side of the flex.
Also phone not responding the adb power commands while in sleep but responding fine when awake got me thinking there is a problem with a some kind of awake pin of screen. Probably there is a short or a missconnection in that pin. That's why solutions in the videos work I think.
It is definitelty not a software issue because it happens in every official or custom rom except in twrp (which does not put screen into sleep mode according "mScreenState" info)
It is not a hardware issue related to power button. Power button works perfectly fine in recovery, download mode and when awake.
Its a hardware issue that probably about the connection that sends wake up signal which maybe from motherboard side of the connection or maybe daughterboard side.
Not a real solution but I found a app called touch protector which has an option that you can disable the touch and set screen brightness to 0%, basically means normal off state for the amoled screens.
I set double click of volume down to sleep mode for touch protector. Maybe with some keymap editing someone can set powerbuttons function to not real sleep but touch protector's sleep. This will be best software solution.
In the hardware side if the problem is daughterboard it can be swapped easily but reflowing smd connecters in motherboard could be risky for me and I don't want to open the never opened device for not solving the problem.
