You're using the NOVA rom right?
Hi, for me G button works perfect with Zeus v3 Rom, just like Power Button. Even showing Boot menu from Zeus. I just copied line from twl4030_pwrbutton.kl file to twl4030_Keypad.kl. Now phone works as it should be. No more stretching fingers
Hi, I did also the change in the twl4030_Keypad.kl file and it works, but not completely. I mean it only works in the next second after the screen has gone blank. If I close the screen from power button or G button and I press the G button after more than 1 second, nothing happens.
Maybe there is something hardware that is disconnected when the phone is in sleep mode and it is only connected by the power button.
PS: I also have Zeus V3(N - international).

I've checked that, and for me G button works fine, but not when I turn off phone completly.
Now after turning of phone button works exactly as you described , weird because it worked for me for three days, and i restarted phone several times.
Hmm I charged battery to more than 20% and it works again.Maybe something is disabled when battery running out ?
Just found that this discussion has a longer thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194058. Maybe the moderators can unify these threads ?

Hi, everyone!
Recently, I installed CyanogenMod 7 which is probably the reason of damaged Power button. I've been keeping it pressed for a long time with X/camera/volume up etc. Anyways, I've been using it for nearly a year now, so.. I still have warranty, but it's not the case. Since I don't want to send it back yet, I come up with this question.
How to power on my Milestone WITHOUT using power button whatsoever? Even entering bootloader mode requires me to press it. Any ideas?
Even impractical ones, I don't turn it off very often, but I need to know that in case of emergency..
tried plugging it into a wall charger while its off? it always boots up my droid automatically

Oh, thank you. As far as I remember, it happened to me several times, but mosstly - there is just waving battery icon.. thanks for response though!
Additionally, how to lock screen without using Power button?-.- or access sound/flight mode/turn off menu?
cm7 has status bar toggles for all of that, if you still have it installed. dont know if theres any way to access the regular phone options menu without using the power button though, sorry
Sent from my Droid using Tapatalk
Well, I turned on status bar widgets and Locking widget too, but.. it apparently disables auto-locking screen, instead of locking on demand..
The go to sleep status bar widget in cm7 interface settings. That's the one that shuts off the screen and locks the phone. Tried it myself before posting.

Geez.
I apologize for caused confusion, I didn't notice it at first... I set my volume up/down as waking buttons and widget for going to sleep
Awesome support, splashattack, thank you very much!
I am having same problem.
I connect my cell to my laptop and it starts. I am using custom ROM.
I want to rollback to stock, so that I can avail warranty on it.
Any idea how to enter bootloader mode without power button
I tried terminal emulator
su
reboot recovery
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But it reboots to OR not to bootloader.
Any solution for bootloader ? or any command?
EDIT
Its solved. I have assigned volume rocker for screen unlock,
I rebooted it using terminal emulator, Pressed and hold volume rocker + Dpad - up and I entered bootloader.
i am always thinking that a button at the front would have been great in order to unlock the phone easier....

I don't know what ROM you're running, but MIUI has the option to do what you're asking. It's in the settings menu (I believe under Lockscreen).
oh, ROM CM7 have it also, but I want separate app. Do you know any apps ?
Widget locker. Like 3 bucks in market enable easy wake

Fix Broken Power Button by Destil
I found this..
market.android.com/details?id=cz.destil.fixbrokenpb&hl=en
When I tried to download it said it wasn't compatible with captivate but I found the .apk and it ended up working. I attached the .apk I was using to this post.
Another thought, I took my phone apart and cleaned it. I took everything apart down to the motherboard and I poured a little rubbing alcohol on the actual button and pressed it a bunch of times (no battery in of course) and after it dried out it seemed to help get it working again.
Also, when I started having problems again I installed a different kernel and that seemed to help as well. Who knows.. but it has been working ever since.
The Fix Broken Power Button by Destil .apk is below
Thank you topiratiko, I was about to go crazy worrying about not being unable to turn my screen on. But what will I do if the phone shuts off? How will I turn it on? My power button seems to be unable to work.

You can allways go into download mode and flash a kernel for ex and check reboot so it'll boot up, or even better use a jig by inserting it for just a bit to power on and to avoid download mode.
well my button was woring tilljust a few moments ago ( power button ) it stopped workin as soon as i flashed rooted stock rom from this forum, any chance it might have beenthe rom or did i just got lucky and lost the power button ?

This same thing happened to mine. Sadly, a handful of roms later I am positive its the button itself. It works sometimes but not all the time. Having the option to set unlock to the volume rockers has been a lifesaver in CM.
Let us know what you find out.
using volume up is a temp fix, i did it also, had no other way, and using the tap tap app also works, what bothers me is, when phone shuts it self down, wich it does a lot all my android phones from stock have done that, the sporadically shut down thingie...how will i turn it on having no power button ?
After a year of use, the unlock button is dead, I've been using Smart screen on for now, but I want to know if I can remap the useless G button to unlock or turn on/off the phone
I also tried opening it to clean it, but the screws are too tight
I'm on Cyanogenmod 10 btw

Just remap the G-button like it's writen in this forum already a hundred times, especially if your on CM10 and don't have the 2.3.4s deep sleep problem.

If you're not on gingerbread, then you don't have this bug. This bug doesn't allow waking up the phone after a few minutes of deep sleep by G button.
But the g buttons for waking the phone works well in CM10/ICS. (of coure you have to remap it)
How do I do it? The instructions say I have to modify a file, but it's not where it's supposed to be
try one thing
i had this with cm10 and v30b
flash zeus and it will be fine
it's deep sleep
If you are using Cm10 go in settings and set a volume rockers wake.Nothing else, just settings.
Hello!
My power button is broken, there is a way to remap other button to work as a power button? I'm using the Nova launcher that have a shortcuts section, so i puted the long press on menu button to run a app, "LockScreen" that locks the screen But it only works on the launcher, if i open another app, it doesn't work. In the System configs i desabilited to open the search engine if i long press the menu button. There is a way to make this works with all the apps? I'm using CM 10.2.
By the way, there is a way to power on the cellphone without pressing power button?
Thanks and sorry for my english!

I think that you can power it on by attaching it to charger and usb connected to pc. I remember that lot of people coplained that their phone can't be charged offline. But I am not sure if it is when you try to turn it off (and instead you will get reboot) or it works when the phone is offline.

I can't remember about CM10.2, I am on Liquid Smooth based on KitKat now, and it has harware buttons remap. And it does not have option for lock screen, but you can install some app for that and map it to use its process.

Thanks for the reply! Well... I'm using CM 10.2 and i can't find any option to remap the buttons, but i found one app on the PlayStore that makes what i need! "Button Savior Non Root" (Can't post links ) It adds virtual keys on the screen, and now i can lock the screen while i run apps!
But there is a way to turn on the phone without pressing the power button? If my battery get out of charge i'll have some problems to turn it on again... :silly:
Thanks again!
My brother has Samsung Galaxy S Advance and some problem too. Power button doesn't work so we couldn't turn on the device. If we did once, we will install an application which change the properties of Volume button and Power button. Is there any way to turn on the device?
Thanks.
SOLVED Press Menu button with Volume Up long time and I saw repair menu, select restart and turn on!
