Hey guys, I found my power button is not working properly, sometimes ,i have to press couple of time to make it work . does it a captivate defect or the software issue ( rom )
thanks
It is a fairly common hardware defect. You will need to either take it apart to clean it, or get it repaired.

Check this thread about cleaning power button with electronics cleaner, it worked for me.

In root explorer go to system mount system as r/w, then go to usr--keylayout--aries.keypad.kl edit line 115 to delete volume up and replace it with power. Save the file and reboot.

Tried so many things after my power button quit and I think this may have finally solved it!!
Thanks again
I'm having a funny issue with my Cappy power button in the way that it's becoming over sensitive. I sometimes just have to touch it to wake the phone. Also, if I shake the phone hard enough I can wake it. That's kinda cool. The button still clicks, but I'm wondering if it's just dirty. Thoughts anybody?

Either that or the little part holding your button is broken (ripped). Could try taking it apart to take a look.

After that last post I got all adventurous and took apart my Cappy, the outer plastic button is all intact, nothing broken, the very little power button on the motherboard still clicks. Nothing I can see is out of place. Put my battery back in with the phone all apart and the power button wasn't acting over sensitive. This issue of mine is kinda sporadic I might just send my phone to Josh at mobiletechvideos.com seeing as I can't do much about it.

Just got my note this morning, and when using stylus don't seem to be able to press the back or menu button!
Any tips?

I guess SGN does not offer such a feature, mate! You would probably need to accept it.

indeed it does offer... just press the button on the stylus and swipe to the left on the screen to go back and swipe up on the screen to access the menu options... you can do this on whichever app you are on
Actually those buttons are capacitive and i think i've read somewhere its not a capacitive stylus....it uses some other technology....an like Chillz88 said...use the button and gestures...
The button tip on the stylus is amazing, Thank you for all the help!

Hi, my device's power button is almost dead. I want to wake my phone by using volume rockers.
My phone is not rooted. Is there any application or method to do this?

Looks like a good link, but he's not rooted and this guide is for root access modification.
But I think that rooting would be the best solution to get what the OP is after.
Mine is half death, and hopefully not about to death.
Seriously though, if you're not going to claim warranty to get it fixed (I did) root it and get vol wake and sweep to wake/sleep. I've set mine to do both and I don't have to use the power button unless rebooting
ok. here the dumbest question: how can i root it?

Mines in the exact same boat. I couldn't use this phone without vol wake or s2w.

Yeah my power button died 2 months ago. Root and install venom. It's the only Rom with both vol wake and vol sleep.
If somebody knows how I could make all roms have vol sleep that's be great lol.

Some custom ROMS have tweak, which allows you to wake by volume buttons
you'd better root your IS or replace a power butern
you can use Go locker
i tried CPR but its of no use .. its almost dead :silly:
The power button isen't working anymore. I have to use my fingernail to press the very right edge soooo far in the phone just to get it to work. Has anyone tried to repair it yourself? Or is it not worth it? The res of the phone is still in great working condition, screen is still new, plastic shows signs of wear around the edges and corners. Its a heck of a phone!
Repair or sell used for parts?
If you are on a Cyanogenmod Rom, there is an option to turn on the screen using the volume rocker keys, which might help you. If you are on another ROM, than I'm not sure what else I can suggest. Good luck.

Mine does depress, but not much. Certainly not as much as my evo.

Nice username.
Yeah, the One has a very stiff button, so you're going to get almost no tactile feedback when you press it. That's how it's supposed to be. If you don't like it though, there are several mods floating around this forum on ways you can raise its profile (like painting on clear nail polish).
Or just bypass it almost completely and use the modified kernels for slide to wake or double tap to wake. There's also a few other long press options too. At least that way you only use then power button to turn on and off the phone.
There also appear to be options for turning screen off through the eqs, although I haven't been able to get those to work for me. Sweep2wake/sweep2sleep is awesome. Also a great little show off for your non rooted friends!

Just wondering if there is a way to change the action of the menu button when you long press it goes to google now and i really don't use it so i would like to change it to something else.
Not until root.

Yeh after having an i777 last couple years with the on screen keys, it's taken me about a week to get used to a home button and the 3 key layout, pressing left for multi and holding it for settings feels a bit awkward to me out of habit lol

Exactly how I'm feeling! I even miss the fourth "search" button on the i777. I had longpress open a QR scanner which always came in handy.
