My power button has become faulty and I was wondering if there was a way to bind another key as the power button, and whether there is a program or method of some sort I can boot up my samsung galaxy through my computer or without the use of the original power button
thanks

Hello,
I have a Telus Milestone and the power button seems to have malfunctioned. It seems to be randomly sending presses to the phone. The screen will randomly turn on and off and bring the power button hold menu.
When booted into recovery at the exclamation mark screen, the phone will randomly turn off as if the power button was pressed.
Is there any way to remap the power button in android to do nothing, and then remap the camera button to act as the power button? Thanks!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
AFAIK a simple remap of the power button could not be done in software.
The power button is not like the other buttons.
It is physically connected to special signal on PMU to suspend and resume the CPU.
If you got some technical skill, it might be physically replaced by soldering.
Also have a look at your flex cable which is connected to the outter buttons, maybe there's some physical damage.

I have a Captivate with bricked power button. I disassembled the phone, tried to press the pushbutton soldered to the PCB, but the phone won't recognize the 'click'. Updating to teamhacksung build 12 doesn't help either. So, I re-assigned the power button to the Search capacitive button.
However, one problem lingers. If I long-press the Search button, it will bring up the "Power Off" option normally appears when you long-press the normal power button. I don't want to turn off my phone as it may not turn on again now that the power button is bricked (currently, phone immediately turns on after I re-insert battery). Is there a way to remove this "Power Off" option?
Thanks
First of all, I suggest you immediately remove your search button as your power button. If your phone turns off, which you say your on ICS build 12 (which is still pre-beta software... aka - unstable) it is very likely your phone will turn off one day, and you're screwed. I suggest you take your phone to an att store and see if you can get an exchange. Use a hardware button as your power button, i.e. your volume keys
Hi guys !
My power button just broke on my SGS GT I9000, I was able to change the lock button from power button to volume up button. But when my phone is off, I can't turn it on back without putting it on download mode and flashing the kernel to force a reboot.
Is there a way to rebind the power up button on an other button when the phone is off ?
Thanks for any help
not sure if this'll help http://blog.zackehh.com/remap-the-android-power-button/
Thanks but that's not really helpfull, because I'vre already did that, and my volume up buttons is just recognize as power/lock button when my phone is on, but not when my phone is off.
I did it in the aries-keypad.kl file in the keylayout folder. Maybe I have to do it in an other file ?
have you tried Button Remapper? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850464
Yes I've tried, but it says that my phone isn't compatible. I've download the galaxy S version, and it says the same. I think I'll have to repair the button. Any idea about the price ?
Hello,
I've a problem with power button, it is damaged, and turn it on is very difficult so I've thought that the best way to do it is remapping vol- button to behave as power button and I've already found how to do it.
Could this fix work???
Is there another way to turn it on without power button???
Thanks for help
