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.

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!

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..
Hi, everyone!
Recently, I installed CyanogenMod 7 which is probably the reason of damaged Power button. I've been keeping it pressed for a long time with X/camera/volume up etc. Anyways, I've been using it for nearly a year now, so.. I still have warranty, but it's not the case. Since I don't want to send it back yet, I come up with this question.
How to power on my Milestone WITHOUT using power button whatsoever? Even entering bootloader mode requires me to press it. Any ideas?
Even impractical ones, I don't turn it off very often, but I need to know that in case of emergency..
tried plugging it into a wall charger while its off? it always boots up my droid automatically

Oh, thank you. As far as I remember, it happened to me several times, but mosstly - there is just waving battery icon.. thanks for response though!
Additionally, how to lock screen without using Power button?-.- or access sound/flight mode/turn off menu?
cm7 has status bar toggles for all of that, if you still have it installed. dont know if theres any way to access the regular phone options menu without using the power button though, sorry
Sent from my Droid using Tapatalk
Well, I turned on status bar widgets and Locking widget too, but.. it apparently disables auto-locking screen, instead of locking on demand..
The go to sleep status bar widget in cm7 interface settings. That's the one that shuts off the screen and locks the phone. Tried it myself before posting.

Geez.
I apologize for caused confusion, I didn't notice it at first... I set my volume up/down as waking buttons and widget for going to sleep
Awesome support, splashattack, thank you very much!
I am having same problem.
I connect my cell to my laptop and it starts. I am using custom ROM.
I want to rollback to stock, so that I can avail warranty on it.
Any idea how to enter bootloader mode without power button
I tried terminal emulator
su
reboot recovery
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But it reboots to OR not to bootloader.
Any solution for bootloader ? or any command?
EDIT
Its solved. I have assigned volume rocker for screen unlock,
I rebooted it using terminal emulator, Pressed and hold volume rocker + Dpad - up and I entered bootloader.
i am always thinking that a button at the front would have been great in order to unlock the phone easier....

I don't know what ROM you're running, but MIUI has the option to do what you're asking. It's in the settings menu (I believe under Lockscreen).
oh, ROM CM7 have it also, but I want separate app. Do you know any apps ?
Widget locker. Like 3 bucks in market enable easy wake

Fix Broken Power Button by Destil
I found this..
market.android.com/details?id=cz.destil.fixbrokenpb&hl=en
When I tried to download it said it wasn't compatible with captivate but I found the .apk and it ended up working. I attached the .apk I was using to this post.
Another thought, I took my phone apart and cleaned it. I took everything apart down to the motherboard and I poured a little rubbing alcohol on the actual button and pressed it a bunch of times (no battery in of course) and after it dried out it seemed to help get it working again.
Also, when I started having problems again I installed a different kernel and that seemed to help as well. Who knows.. but it has been working ever since.
The Fix Broken Power Button by Destil .apk is below
Thank you topiratiko, I was about to go crazy worrying about not being unable to turn my screen on. But what will I do if the phone shuts off? How will I turn it on? My power button seems to be unable to work.

You can allways go into download mode and flash a kernel for ex and check reboot so it'll boot up, or even better use a jig by inserting it for just a bit to power on and to avoid download mode.
I have a Galaxy S i896 (Rogers captivate model), been running CM9 on it for quite some time now and I never had a problem with it.
Until recently, my lock button stopped working. Thankfully, CM9 allows me to use the volume buttons to turn on the screen, and I can lock the device from the notification bar. However, I sometimes get that screen that pops up when you long press the power button (airplane mode, screen shot, reboot etc...) but I don't know how. Also, whenever I remove and re-insert my battery, the phone turns on by itself! So it would seem that the button is stuck somehow, and once the phone is turned on, it is being ignored.
I read somewhere that this is sometimes caused by rooting the phone, however I wasn't completely sure about how true this information was, and therefore my question is: does anybody know what causes this, and how can I fix it!
Thanks!

I also have this problem with a stock ROM. The power button doesn't work and i cant even flash another ROM in recovery because of that. It only turns on when putting the charger on or replacing the battery (turns on by itself).
It seems that your power button is busted. I had the same problem, though I manage to have a way to make things alright. If youre on a CM9/C10 youre good. Download button remapper at remap the capacitive search button and make it act as a power button. So, if you're waking up the phone you will use the volume rockers and if you want to sleep and lock, use the search soft key.

Is there a way to disable the force reboot when pressing the power off button for a long time? I can disable the power off buttons function for click and long press, but if i press long enough the phone reboots .. I want to use this phone as my alarm with another app and i don't want to be able to turn off the phone at all. The only thing that should be able to turn it off should be the battery..
Is there a way to achieve this?

connect a speaker to it and place it somewhere you need a stair to reach.
I think this long-press reboot is hardcoded into somewhere in the phone, it isn't an Android thing.
You can long-press reboot even before Android fires up.

The long press power forced reboot is in kernel space...
Xposed does not adjust that...
