What do you mean by lock screen button?
EDIT: Try this and see if it work.
If your power button (lockscreen button) not working then u should go to the service center.

lol the button which is used to turn off the screen and phone too
I think he says the lock/power button and he can't start his phone... Well: do you use ADB? Plug your phone, go in adb and write adb reboot. After, download from Google Play an app that allow lock/unlock phone with soft button like screen of and lock.. Ehm... I don't say how shut down xD

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 ?

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.
here is a app used by me...u can remap any button...
its very simple to use..
s-off or unlocked boot loader required..
just select the key u want to remap..choose the required task u want it to do..and select hot reboot
whn ur phone boots up...u wld have the button remapped...
hope it helped..
I tried this to remap the F button to be Power
And well it powers off fine but it wont turn it back on, i have to use the normal power button to turn it back on
You might wanna look into that
Using this is good, but you must activate it as drop, wake for power usage, ie press to turn screen on etc. Bern using this since last Oct, very handy lol
Oh and you only need root. Unlocked boot loader is not required

I dont see a key code that points to F key on my salsa. How do I select which button i want to remap?
When i start the app i see a list, I assume this is the list of buttons that can be remapped.
Please help..

that depends on what function you set it to do. for example......set htc share as call end with wake_drop and apply, phone will restart it self and once restarted it will come up on top bar asking if u want to restore buttons to previous state. ignore that for a min and try the F button, it should bring up your dial pad. now hit power button to turn screen off, and press F button and screen will appear on again.
some other functions will do this, some will not...it all depends what u set it as....but for screen on...u set as wake_drop in 3rd column
Yeah I could figure that out with a bit fo research.
My point here is that, I dont want to use the power buton at all(unless i want to restart or power it off). The screen on/off functionality should be taken care by 'f' button.
Can you add more functions like COPY and PASTE? I have seen that the ALT+SPACE (Setting) and ALT+, (CAMERA) functions aren't useful. That will be excellent if replace two of them for COPY and PASTE. I think the physical keyboard has to faster than the visual keyboard at all if It has these functions. Thanks!!!

i'm sorry didn't understand! i use swipe
Same here but after 20clicks
GB not rooted
On my swipe lock screen, if i press the home button twice the voice recognition screen pops up and the phone is unlocked. Have you guys set that up on yours?
Yup its because of Vilingo. 2 clicks of the home button will unlock the screen and launch the app. Disabling it works I think....

i didn't for the moment, but the strange thing is that you can open Voice Talk app without unlocking the phone...
who have the Note without home button (SGH-i717) must unlock the screen first then from the home screen touch Applications > Voice Talk.
I could accept the double click on home only AFTER the screen has been unlocked

It is not a bug. It is a feature. If you press the home button twice the voice talk app is activated. This only happens if you haven't set up any screen lock such as pattern lock or pin lock.

Yes it is a feature. If you have not enabled any screen unlocking then pressing home button while phone is asleep wakes it up and takes you on the lock screen and now if you press home button twice it will open the "voice talk" app. This feature is built into the stock rom. Now if takes 20 or more presses before you get into the voice talk app then it means there is some problem with the home button or some other settings in your phone. I hope it explains.

my home button works perfectly...that's the situation now that i've upgrated to ICS: only 2 clicks.
on GB 2.3.6 (20-30 clicks), and other users had the same issue. This can't be a feature.
In my opinion the screen must be unlocked with a swipe/gesture/etc because i set THAT unlocking method, i didn't set "double click on home button" (this option not even exist)!!
If i want to open voice talk i can swipe and then double click on home button...
Anyway on GB i'm pretty sure that doesn't work very well or isn't a feature (maybe a bug).
it's not a bug
this happens when you've changed your rom, etc
your previous setting of lock screen stays, but you'll have to "reset" it again by going to the security settings. once you've reenabled the passcode/swipe, this will not happen again
I have a Galaxy S i896 (Rogers captivate model), been running CM9 on it for quite some time now and I never had a problem with it.
Until recently, my lock button stopped working. Thankfully, CM9 allows me to use the volume buttons to turn on the screen, and I can lock the device from the notification bar. However, I sometimes get that screen that pops up when you long press the power button (airplane mode, screen shot, reboot etc...) but I don't know how. Also, whenever I remove and re-insert my battery, the phone turns on by itself! So it would seem that the button is stuck somehow, and once the phone is turned on, it is being ignored.
I read somewhere that this is sometimes caused by rooting the phone, however I wasn't completely sure about how true this information was, and therefore my question is: does anybody know what causes this, and how can I fix it!
Thanks!

I also have this problem with a stock ROM. The power button doesn't work and i cant even flash another ROM in recovery because of that. It only turns on when putting the charger on or replacing the battery (turns on by itself).
It seems that your power button is busted. I had the same problem, though I manage to have a way to make things alright. If youre on a CM9/C10 youre good. Download button remapper at remap the capacitive search button and make it act as a power button. So, if you're waking up the phone you will use the volume rockers and if you want to sleep and lock, use the search soft key.

Hi,
When I hit the power button it sometimes triggers the double click interaction and opens the camera another time it just restart the phone, this problem also happens in recovery mode (it lock and unlock the screen every few seconds), so I think it´s a hardware issue, have any of you had this problem?
I'm like 90% sure is the power button and not the screen.
Thanks

May be because of broken kernel or u may have dropped ur device and some dust or something would have hit the power button and damaged it just try disabeling double press camera gesture and try reinstalling or reseting rom or just try to repair it in the shop
if u like this pls press that thanks button
