if your problem is about fixing the power button i think that you have to go to the assistance...if you're looking for a different way to turn off your phone and have the reboot menu then you have to search into google play. There some widgets like shutdown widget and so on that should work.
EDIT: Reboot menu is free and has the whole menu.
thx i'll try but if it doesn't satisfy me ill go for assistance

From about week onwards i am getting this problem.power button is nt workn as previous.Phone automatically get the signal of long press power button.it means automatically it asks "power will be turned off,and you may lose data if...".and also when i press power button it doesnt goes to standby mode.when i long press the power button sometimes it doesnt switch off..As i think the power button dnt work as normal or may it seems that power button keep pressed internally
This was my problem.i went to HTC agent and they said the motherboard has a issue.it may be caused to water drop.and they told it cant be repaired and i shoold replace the motherborad and the MB will cost like hell..
Now i need help of ur guys.
1.) Is there any software to disable the power on/off function?
2.) Or is there any method to automatically press "no" of power off msg when it appears.
Sorry for my bad English ..pls help me..
you have already started a thread regarding your power button HERE ...bad net manners, contact the mods and ask them to close one...
Anyways, from your post, you cannot go into standby mode because of the faulty power button...
So here's what you do, download Pocket Device Power Manager OR psShutXP and install on the mobile...
With this, you will have the standby option available without having to press the power button...
Hope that helps...
Thnx dude.. Sorry for opening a new thread.
Dude still i have a problem..it is 4n automatically prompts the shutdown msg ( power will be turned off...Yes/no) when i am using the phone.i have to press no to use the 4n when it appears.this is a headache to me..is there anyway to diisable this msg or to automatically get press "no" when it appears.
why not try and map the Power button, Long_Power.lnk to another application??
The mapping process is explained HERE ...I think that will help stop that "power will be turned off...Yes/no" message...
Just my 2C's, i am really not sure about this though...
Thnx Dude..it seems to be working..but i need a another small help regarding this..tell me a some kind of an app dat should be mapped to this long power key.the app should not load any true application.it should be just a shortcut.Otherwise behalf of the Power off msg that applicaion will open..it will be another problem.If u can provide me a shortcut which do not actually open any application. i am noob for this..thats y i am asking everything.thnx in advance
pls can any1 help me..can any1 write me a small app dat do not do anything..it means it should not prompt any error msg or do not do anything.i want only a program to work with power button.it means to remap the power button to dat application
no1 can help me?? pls help

Remove the battery and wait for 30 seconds. Then put it back on and start it again. If u have an micro sd mem card remove it as well before starting. Let me know how its coming.
If thats not working try to enter the recovery mod by pressing HOME+VOL UP+POWER BUTTONS then select "reboot system" with your home key.
my power button is no longer working. I try a lot of apps: nolock, lock 2.0, power off, lock screen widget, anylock .... but almost is turn off display, can't wake up with volume button.

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.
Really i don't know why i've done this but after reading a blog i tried to see if the volume down+enter+power combination keys works. Now, after about 1.5 hours the phone display shows "Downloading ... Do not turn off target!!!" The phone is somehow hot ...
As i have a feeling, this is not so ok What can i do ? Can i replace the battery to reset the phone ? Will it start corectly ?
No panic ....
Remove battery and start phone normally and all work as before !!!!

Thx, noob here but i'll overcome u all
Long time shutdown
That 's it
A battery pull always works, but an alternative is to simply hold down the power button for ~10 seconds. This will always restart your phone, no matter what state it's in. Likewise, holding down the key combination to recovery (volume up + home + power) for that long will restart your phone in Recovery, and same for Download mode.
This is much better than doing a battery pull, as you dont have to remove the back. Give it a try. And you're welcome.
Hey guys!
I'm using a rooted Samsung Galaxy S3 gt - i9305.
When I tried to open the hard reset menu by pressing the volume up + power + home button it went into the download mode and got completely stuck over there. The phone has no charge left. When I try to charge, it automatically boots up and again shows the "Downloading do not turn off target" but it doesn't get charged. If I press and hold the power button the screen goes black for sometime and then again it's in the Downloading mode. No matter whatever key combinations I use, this is what happens. Please suggest me some ways to fix this. I don't have a PC, so it would be great if you suggest me how to get my phone back without using a PC. But I do have another working phone.
Please guys help me.
Thank you.

it seems like you have something wrong with the keys circuits, you need to make a hardware check on that phone.
the volume down key and home key must be stuck(like always pressed).
No they're not stuck. I'm able to press and hold them. The phone actually responds to this, first the screen goes black and after awhile again the download mode is on.:crying:

i know you can press them, it's something in the board itself, circuits are touched or something like that, i can't explain because I'm not a good English speaker in "electronic stuff".
