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.

[Q] How to take care of power button?

Hi guys! I am buying a Nexus One. I just read about the power button problem. I wanted to know if there is any way that I could take care of my power button so that it does not break. I also wanted to know if there was a possible way of remapping the power button, for example the power button dies out on me, I could use the Volume up button to power on my device (cold boot).

Well that depends if you're running stock ROM or rooting and installing a custom ROM. I'm gonna assume you're gonna root and say to get a ROM with trackball root. This way you can unlock with the trackball and save your power button. You can also get a one of many apps that lets you lock the phone from a homescreen widget.
If you're not planning on rooting you could install GoLocker which would let you unlock with the volume rocker. Think the locking widgets should still work too.
Hope that helps.

I read somewhere that pressing the power button from the side closest to the headphone jack would also prevent damage to it. Is this true? I haven't really gotten my N1 yet so it's kind of hard to visualize how the power button works on it.

Yeah like addam360 stated, I use CM7 ROM with trackball unlock/trackball wake.
Barely use my power button. There's also app like Quickboot which let me reboot or reboot to recovery without having to use the button.
CM7 ROM also have an option to shut down via widget.
As for which side to push I really couldn't tell you.

I've had my N1 for over a year with no power button issues - Check out my signature; I did a huge long post explaining my reasoning.

So that's where I got the info of pressing closest to the audio jack. Thanks very much for the info. So what if I were to place a thin piece of paper between the trace and the plastic power button head so that it does not press down on the trace? Do you think this will help preserve the trace?

I have had my nexus one for a year and 8 months, I haven't payed attention to where I click the button and its still working properly.

Mine failed around that time. Luckily still under warranty so HTC fixed it. (Audio jack went at same time and fixed also)

If anything, that would probably push the trace down more every time you pressed the power button. If you really want to try a fix, see about grinding down the part of the power button above the trace - that way you won't accidentally press it on the wrong side.

I'm using an EVO 3d so I don't have insight for the N1 but I do know moving parts break. It's one reason I think slideout keyboards are retarded. But most aosp roms allow trackball wake. Me personally I think my volume down is going out. Scrolling in recovery to my download folder is like 16 presses lol. Lucky for me I can get a new back cover and be back to new.

[PROBLEM] Broken Power Button. Need Fix.

As the title says, my Note started acting up weird. I could barely power the screen on, and sometimes when I wanted to power it off it'd get stuck and reboot ( because the button gets stuck for a long time, thus reboots the phone) and opening the power menu's.
I only have to touch the power button VERY lightly to activate it.
My temporary solve is to wake the phone with volume rockers and I've installed an app to power it off. But if I ever need to reboot the phone or just simply boot it up, I'm gonna have a problem. Same with getting in recovery.
Is this fixable in some store, or even by doing it yourself?
Thanks for reading.

seems of a physical damage issue. take it to a service and check what they say

the switch is replaceable or u could remap the power button to the home button that is what I did with same problem
SEARCH ....so easy a caveman can do it

Is it hard to replace by yourself? I already saw they sold it in a shop nearby for €20,- so that's not too bad.
Could you easily do it yourself? Then I'll order it and try that.

watch some videos about anatomy of note on you tube and decide yourself

you have to remove the board witch is not hard but then you have to unsolder the little switch and solder in the new switch so if you are comfortable with soldering then it is not that

[Q] Power button broken

I have the same issue with my SXL and here is what I do ..
1. Use CWM Recovery (Search the forums) - it will switch on your phone on connecting it to with a charger/USB cable. This comes in handy if I remove the battery and since the power button does not work at all, I cannot power on the phone in any other way. Once I plug in my switched off SXL, CWM Recovery starts up the phone and I get to reboot it from Recovery.
2. USe a custom ROM (I would recommend CodeFireX from Anders if you like 4.2.2 or RunnyKitKat from Onejay for 4.4.2) and under settings get the volume to wake feature turned on. Now you can wake the phone screen using the volume buttons.
3. Get an app from the Play Store - "Reboot Menu widget", which becomes a soft menu button to reboot or shutdown, or take a screen shot or to simply close down the screen...
I couldn't get my power button fixed as the device was out of warranty and I did not want to spend the exorbitant prices these guys were asking. So that's what anyone with a broken power button can do.. Hope this helps

Thank You very much that solved my problem!
Didnt want to get it fixed they charge to much
Thank You Again:victory::victory:

Hi
Power button and volume buttons are identical with buttons used for HD2.
HD2 buttons are attachable, there is 5 of them and they are very cheap.
Get them and find someone with soldering gun with thin tip (for smd) who could solder them for you.

Cool thanks for telling that, now i just got to find someone with an HD2 LOL.
90% of people i know have iphones, so thats going to be hard :fingers-crossed:

Search for some combination of these words on ebay and replace the main board. It's usually the little micro-switch that's gone so replacing the plastic button doesn't do anything.

Button is located (soldered) on the board and is covered with protective tape.
When broken usually only plastic body stays on board. Transparent cover (with black dot) and micro disk comes off and for that reason button does not work. Whole plastic button needs to be unsoldered and replaced.
I attached picture of HD2 buttons which you can buy i.e on ebay.
I did it twice (first time with volume then with power button) and it costs nothing.
Replacing whole board is quite expensive and unnecessary - in my opinion.

Non-removable battery:

Thinking of buying the M8 to replace my Note-3. One thing I like about a removable battery is that in the event of freeze-ups, I can remove the battery to restart it. On a device that doesn't have a removable battery, how do you reset the phone if it locks up on you?

You hold in the power button and it will reboot

Looks like on the M8 it's actually Power + Volume Up for 10 seconds (holding down power for this long just brings up a dialog stating that).

I'm happy about this news. Too many times my phone has restarted because of other things in my pocket.

I have never owned a phone without a removable battery, but I'm looking at either this phone or the One Max. On other phones, sometimes a simple reboot doesn't fix the problem so it requires removing the battery for a few seconds and a cold boot. How do these phones handle that and what do you do when it's locked up so bad that the hard buttons aren't recognized?

This is actually implemented by having a dedicated circuit within the phone which when those buttons have been held for 10 seconds, pulls the hardware reset on the phone (equivalent to a battery pull). It is not implemented in with the rest of the software on the phone, so even if that software has stopped recognizing hardware buttons, the button-based hardware reset still works. It's actually quite elegant.
