[Q] power button broken

so my power button is gone on my htc touch with android. i need to poke the small button inside with a penpoint or small object.
is there a way to re-map the button or another way to turn the phone on from sleep?

My power button is working but I have same concern. Developers, why don't use D-pad key for home/back etc functions? power/camera buttons are very critical because without them you may even have difficulty to enter bootload mode.

Atools will let you remap the keys

Thanks!. I have created an update that set Vogue D-pad as:
Left: Back
Center: Home
Right: Menu
Working perfect on my SuperFroyo.

I've used Atools to remap wake up to other keys but, it only works if i press those keys after receiving a notification.
have you been successful in waking up the phone from sleep without having to press the power button? are there additional settings i need to change?

I also have the same problem - my power button stopped working this afternoon for some reason and I cant wake up my phone except by calling it from another line or restarting it - any idea how i can change the wake up key? from what i gather, the atools fix isn't working?

Exact. Same. Problem. Using Incubus RLS16 (no audio input either... grrr...)
I remapped the power button and it will turn on but only under these conditions:
Phone just went into sleep, after a few minutes no response.
If it's plugged in.
Which makes me wonder... are there two different sleep modes? ie: light sleep which lasts for a few minutes when unplugged, and a deep sleep which kicks in after that, or never, when plugged in.
I only need to wait a few more weeks for my upgrade, but I want to be productive now!

Anyone have a solution to the phone not waking up problem - Ive realized its not my power button..

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 ?

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

[Q] Power button problem

Hello!
My power button is broken, there is a way to remap other button to work as a power button? I'm using the Nova launcher that have a shortcuts section, so i puted the long press on menu button to run a app, "LockScreen" that locks the screen But it only works on the launcher, if i open another app, it doesn't work. In the System configs i desabilited to open the search engine if i long press the menu button. There is a way to make this works with all the apps? I'm using CM 10.2.
By the way, there is a way to power on the cellphone without pressing power button?
Thanks and sorry for my english!

I think that you can power it on by attaching it to charger and usb connected to pc. I remember that lot of people coplained that their phone can't be charged offline. But I am not sure if it is when you try to turn it off (and instead you will get reboot) or it works when the phone is offline.

I can't remember about CM10.2, I am on Liquid Smooth based on KitKat now, and it has harware buttons remap. And it does not have option for lock screen, but you can install some app for that and map it to use its process. Like this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock&hl=sr

Thanks for the reply! Well... I'm using CM 10.2 and i can't find any option to remap the buttons, but i found one app on the PlayStore that makes what i need! "Button Savior Non Root" (Can't post links ) It adds virtual keys on the screen, and now i can lock the screen while i run apps!
But there is a way to turn on the phone without pressing the power button? If my battery get out of charge i'll have some problems to turn it on again... :silly:
Thanks again!

My brother has Samsung Galaxy S Advance and some problem too. Power button doesn't work so we couldn't turn on the device. If we did once, we will install an application which change the properties of Volume button and Power button. Is there any way to turn on the device?
Thanks.
SOLVED Press Menu button with Volume Up long time and I saw repair menu, select restart and turn on!

[Q] Broken power button

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 ?
