I've tried both Myn's warm donut and incubus super froyo, both builds give me problems coming out of standby most of the time. My actual power button is messed up tho so i have to use the endcall button for all things power. just wondering if it's just me or is it a build problem?
You can use this
seems to be working XD we'll know by the end of the day, thanks!
alright, unfortunately it didn't work. keys are mapped to perfection but it still won't come out of standby UNLESS its charging. for some reason it works flawlessly while charging and not at all when its running off battery. any1 have any ideas?

The power button and charge switch are the only gpios that can really wake the phone. The cam button will also wake the phone, it just gets ignored. This means if you press cam and then another button quickly it should wake up. Without a working power button you will have trouble using the phone though.
just wana begin by sounding like a HUGE nerd: when i saw you commented on MY thread i got all light headed. thanks lol.
okay, it acts a lot like the power button is stuck. when it's plugged in with winmo the screen will turn off then immediately back on, also when i take the battery out and put it back in it comes on immediately. but i'll try your suggestion. also would it matter that i used the key remapping tool to set it to wake with other keys?
I tried taking it apart to examine the power button but i can't get the case to seperate, I've read there are clips holding it but i can't find them. I've looked at the walkthrough on that russian site but it doesn't show the location of the clips.
So recently, my Nexus One's LCD cracked while playing cricket.. BOHOO! So I took it to the repair shop, and he fixed my LCD. YAYY! But the repair guy messed up my power on button. Before it used to be so soft and easy to turn on, but now it only turns on if i press it on a certain spot, which is very ANNOYING! I took it back to him and he didn't really fix anything. I just want to ask you if you know any easy solution to this. No, not the trackball wake. Like would it be easy for me to open my phone up and repair the button myself? Or do you think i'm out of luck?
Thank you

well, sadly; my power button has given up finally.
Can anyone help me out by telling me how i'm supposed to turn my phone off completely. I'm using an app which allows me to turn my screen off and lock the phone, but is there one to provide me options for powering off and booting into recovery, bootloader etc? It's essential because i need to be able to turn my phone off to switch my battery packs, and to install new firmwares. Thanks.
Most importantly, how would i turn on my phone when it's completely turned off, since the power button wouldn't do any good
Try "Quick Boot" to switch 4-ways reboot function.
To turn on your N1, simply connect it to charger, whether it is wall, usb, or powerbank one. When the led lights up, pull your battery. As soon as the led down, insert your battery immediately.
My N1 has been "happily" running that way for months.

My power button is on the fritz now too. Is there someone who fixes this? Can I make a insurance claim?
First off, I'd like to mention I'm new here, so if I'm posting this in the wrong place, please forgive me.
Second, the topic: I've had a problem with my power key for at least half a year now. As far as I can tell, it started after I accidentally dropped it (No harder than I usually would if I ever did drop it which is rare) with my otterbox case on it. I picked it up and tried to turn on my screen and noticed a long lag before the screen came on.
I didn't think anything of it until the next day the key wasn't responsive at all. I looked, and the key is not cracked, and there's no visible damage from the outside. I figured out if I shook the phone, or tapped on the button a certain way, sometimes I could get the button to work, but that was just unacceptable. So i found a fix in the application "Button Savior". Coupled with the volume rocker wake feature of my ROM.
But after all this time, I'd still really like my power button to work, so here are my questions:
1. Is this a common problem? Have you yourself experienced this, or have you seen others have this problem?
2. Any ideas on what is actually wrong with the button, and how I could fix the button mechanism? I'm not against taking the phone apart to repair it if that's what it takes.
Thanks in advance guys!
Additional info: Maybe not a hardware issue?
I've found that while having to enter into recovery mode by using the three button combo, it seems to register the power button being pressed in order to actually get into recovery, but once in recovery I have the same old problem of not being able to use the power button (as in I have to shake it and tap it a lot for it to register, and even that is unreliable)
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.

Get a app or widget for it.

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.

Oh that would be impossible, the OS isn't loaded so even less the apps
I was suggesting a app to turn off the phone/lock screen. There are widgets for that in the market.

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?)

well thanks for the reply, but i dont need it anymore. my friend conveniently had a GNex (old) and gave it to me as a present. so i dont use my captivate that much anymore.
As the title reads I am quite sure that the power button is broke in some way or another on my HTC Desire C. I believe this since the phone is off and I cannot start it up with the power button. The reason I think that it is the power button that is broken and not something else is that when I plug it into the charger the battery shows up on the screen as always and says its charging.
Now, I wont be able to have it in for service in a couple of months and I really need the phone right now.
I could probably live with a broken power button if I just got it to boot up, which is the big problem here! I have googled for answers and found some saying for example that to charge it while popping out/in the battery in different ways will make it automatically boot up but nothing seems to work.
Is there any way to power it up without using the power button?
(Probably a good thing to say that I am not using any kind of custom rom or whatever, everything is stock)
Would be really awesome if someone could help!
