Best suggestion I can give you is to get root and use a ROM with trackball wake/unlock. This will reduce the use of the power button to almost nothing. You could also then use quick boot to allow reboot to recovery, bootloader or normal. All without touching the power button ever.

Some devices have faulty power button. Some don't.
I don't know how lucky you are with your device, and I don't know how gentle you are with the power button, so it's impossible to tell if your power button will fail or not.
In any case, as suggested above, using trackball wake can lower the chances of it failing.

U said some have some dont... that mean not all could possible became faulty.. usually how long the device became faulty? 4 month? 6 month? Or over 1 years? Currently im using widgetlocker to unlock via trackball...

I have had mine since about a week after release. My power button is still like new. I have never had to push it twice to do the same thing.

Mine broke about a month ago, i bought ti a couple of weeks after release.
I used quick boot to reboot it, screen off and lock app to turn the screen off, trackball wake to turn it on. And if you need to turn the phone back on, you can plug it into power and pull the battery a few times.

Power button is fine after a year. But I avoid it as much as possible by using Quick boot, Lock, & Trackball wake.

That mean all possible became faulty!!. Right now im avoid it using power button.. i use widgetlocker and screen off and lock free on market.it help me to turn off screen without touch ur power button

It's kinda strange, I keep hearing of these issues with the power button...
I had to have dropped my N1 at least 5 times straight on the power button. Almost split the device in half one time doing it. Power button never failed on me, nor did any other hardware come to think of it. And I still sold it. lol.

It IS a possibility that your power button will go bad. It is a possibility it may not. No one can say for sure that, yes your power button will quit working. The less you physically push it, the longer it will last, obviously.

Mines been fine and I've been using it regularly since April, I think the issue affected more of the early Nexuses than the later made ones.

My power button is starting to lose it's functionality and I am sad about it. It's still usable but my alternatives is using quickboot, trackball wake, and lock screen app. I barely use my power button now.

What if the power button break?

Mine is a stupid question.
Looking at my new nexus s the hardware buttons are protruding unlike the old motoria milestone.
They feel not so rocks so I was thinking, what if the power button break?
How turn on the phone or wake up it? How to enter recovery?

if you're worried try to use it as little as possible
my nexus s wakes up when i touch the screen and locks when i put it into my pocket (proximity sensor). So i use the power button about once a week to reboot.
but if it breaks nontheless - send your nexus to samsung they'll fix it.

ive been with a broken power button for almost 5 months now. i use the volume rocker to wake, and the lockscreen widget to lock the phone. also, i use the twrp recovery that has options to use for a select instead of the power button. ive even forgotten that i had a working power button

I would just contact Samsung the phone hasn't been out for a year yet. They should cover this just make sure your phone is unrooted and running stock.

Ok I understand that it's possible to use the phone also without the power button but how do you turn on?
How do you enter recovery without it?

How do you have this function? What rom do you use?

CM7 has the wake key functions. CWM recovery also allows the use of the soft keys.

many ways..
in the terminal emulator app type..
su(press enter)
reboot recovery(press enter)
or there are many apps that will boot you into recovery, like RootBooter.
if all else fails, you can enter recovery via adb or fastboot too, via your computer. once you stop using the power button, you will "see" many ways around it. there are root apps that can remap your buttons too.

i gently flick the back of the phone(right under the lens) with my finger), and instantly, the phone powers up. since i test the trinity kernel before releases, i get many that dont boot, and need to go straight into recovery to flash another kernel so that my phone could boot. i do the same thing with the gentle flick to the back of the phone. i boot the phone into fastboot mode, select recovery, then instead of pressing the power button to select recovery, i gently flick the back of the phone right under the lens and the recovery option gets selected. from there i flash another kernel(or rom) and boot the phone. i havent had any issues for the past 5 months doing this, and i flash many times almost each and every day.

Hi, my little italian friend ! I hope you will solve your problem

I have to say, i am truelly interested in how you can get your phone to turn off when you put it in your pocket. Would save me alot of button presses.
I'm currently looking into the Cyanogen 7.1 lockscreen menu but can't seem to find anything for the proximity sensor.
Please enlighten us.

Could you tell us more about your setup? How did you managed to lock it by putting in your pocket?
EDIT: didn't realize there are more pages in this thread, so another user already asked my question. Waiting for the answer...

[Q] Power key performance

How does your power key performs? I mean mine responds only when hard pressed or pressed by the right side part of it.
I asked this because all my LG devices have these pretty hard to press hardware keys in contrast to my SE devices.

Comes on at any sign of a click, can do far left, far right etc. Button itself is perfect.
How old is your phone? Worn out over time a possibility ?
there's a mod that lets you wake via volume buttons if you're into that.

can u tell me what mod. u mean exactly? any instructions?

Use widgetlocker and in use easy-wake mode. It lets you wake up the phone with any hardware button.

Or in case you're using CM or MIUI, theres an option to enable that in the settings menu.

Sorry my bad English
I have v20b.
I want wake up my phone by G button or Volume rocker.

I can lock the phone by prees G button, or hold it to shut down. but i can't wake up my phone by it.
the phone only wake up If i lock screen and press G button afer that 1-2s.
Please, help me.

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).
Dan

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 ?

[Q] Power Button Not working. Plz help

Okay so my power button just randomly stopped working after some random time. it doesnt work ANYWHERE. to lock my screen, to unlcok my screen, in recovery mode i cant press anything cuase it doesnt WORK. i no its a hardware issue becuase of this. i did google this but found nothing. what can i do to fix it.
i tried a battery pull and putting it back and going to recovery to factory reset but as soon as i put my battery in my phone starts up. i can enter recovery but the power button doesnt work so i cant press anything.
my warranty is over by a long shot ( had it since it released) so cant return it.
any help would be appreciated. all i need is a way to turn my phone on and off nothing about the recovery and stuff. but if you do find someting for it that would be even more amazing.
and has this happened to anyone else, just wondering is all if this is common or rare.
thnx in advance.

it has happened to many captivates. search 'captivate power button' on xda.
What ROM are you running on your phone?
Answer to that question has a lot to do with your next steps for software workaround.
One approach; you could read up on ways to clean the power button and see if that works. Or send it off to mobiletechvideos.com and he will fix it for a reasonable fee.

i am running Aocp 5 android 4.2.1
hve been running it for a few weeks now and no problem till now

Okay, start by seeing if you can clean the power button, that may fix it for now. Again, search 'captivate power button' to find some threads about ways to clean it.
With the ROM you are running, I believe you have a version of CWM that allows to use the Cappy's dedicated menu keys, menu, home, back and search, to navigate and select recovery items.
Assuming your power key is stuck on, remove the battery, hold the up and down volume buttons and reinsert the battery to get into recovery. This will allow you to test keys, wipe, and any other function in CWM.
With the phone on and fully booted into JB, go find volume rocker wake in the system setting options and make sure it is active. Hitting the up/down key will wake the screen when it sleeps. Add the sleep/lock toggle to your notification bar menu and you have a way to instantly lock the screen without the power key.
If you still have a bad power button stuck in on position, then you will need to take out the battery to turn it off.
Hope this helps.

This is happening because your power button is stuck in the on position. Did you try to clean it as suggested earlier.
BWolf56, I'm not aware of an app or ROM that completely prevents power up on insertion of battery when the power button is stuck on. If there is such an app, I'd like to hear about it. I think maybe the power switch goes to the broadcom power management chip, so I don't understand how the app could work unless the phone never came on at all. SOD symptoms would be the result.

I had a very similar problem with my Epic 4G Touch (Sprint S2) - my phone would randomly reboot, and it kept getting worse and worse. Thought it was the ROM, the overclock, etc. I flashed back to (almost) stock, went back to original clock speeds. Eventually, I noticed that even brushing past the power button would wake the screen, and about 10 seconds later the phone would reboot.
Long story short, I bought a replacement power switch, soldered it in place, and have had zero problems since!
Several eBay sellers offer the switch you'll need.
(They don't include the skills needed to solder it in place. It's a tiny switch - about 4mm x 2mm x 1.5mm, and you'll need a good quality fine-tipped soldering iron and a steady hand. Do you have a friend who's good at soldering?)
