Is there a way to get a soft powerbutton for device standby like in CyanogenMod the standby button in quick settings? I think the real powerbutton will broken soon!
Best regards
TT
Try to use smart cover it save power button...
I use the app screen off and lock.
As I use Nova launcher I added gesture (double tap) to this app. So double tapping on home screen now brings device to standby

Is it possible to use central circle button to switch on the display of the PDA instead of use ON/OFF button?
Thank you.
would like to know if the center button can be map as the power button too.
Its not as you asked, bight might be worht considering:
If you go to settings>system>Lock Buttons and choose do not lock buttons, then all the buttons including the center button will trun on the screen.
Yes. Now every time I want to switch on the display I have to push the upper ON/OFF button and I think it would be better if i could do it by pressing the central circle button?
Thank you
Yes omar32, but i do not like this option because if all buttons are enabled, it is very easy to push them accidentalty and to do calls, etc that you do not want. I want that when the PDA is deactivated, i can switch display on with ON/OFF button or pressing the central circle button, but with others buttons disabled.
Thank you
I agree with you guys. If diamond is a phone why it can behave like a real normal phone. Using this stupid ON/OFF button is very inconvenient and annoying! I miss normal lock keypad-I mean like in SE press * and lock button(s0ft button) to unlock in reverse direction.To get this feature I have to use 3d party software like s2u2 which does the thing but destroys other like receiving MMS etc. I'm getting bored of this phone ale looking for all the time for the compromise between one feature I need and another.Just wanted a PHONE with possibilities of PDA not PDA with option of PHONE
So, is it no possible to use central circular hw button to switch on the display?

Hi
I can tell you how I "resolved" this problem possibly closest to the "normal" phone
First: in settings /system -> key lock -> set: DON't lock the buttons
Second: because pressing ON/OFF button is very inconvenient we have to bypass it..There are few programs *.exe which does exactly the same what ON/OFF button. So search the web for turnOff.exe and map it with soft key manager to any of the soft buttons you like(right or left).This lets you turn off the phone without pressing ON/OFF button on the top.
Third: Because now buttons are not locked it's easy to wake up the phone in the pocket and press sth on the touch screen so you have to use s2u2 for locking/unlocking. And that's all you have to do is spend some time on configuring s2u2 this is the hardest thing here.
Now you can wake up the phone with any button you like and unlock it in iPhone style(thanks to s2u2), when want to lock it you press the soft button mapped to turnOff.exe and that's it- you got your phone locked and turned off.
If somebody knows a different way to do it please share with us
Like many others, I've got an issue with my power button. Thankfully, I can use the volume buttons to turn the screen on. I can also use the power widget option 'go to sleep' to turn the display off.
However, I would like to map 'go to sleep' to either a long-press of a button or a shortcut. Any ideas how I can do that? If needed, I do own Tasker.
Quick Boot - available in the Market.
That only powers off or reboots. I just want to turn the screen off.
Not 100% sure what you are after, but i use "screen off and lock" after my power button broke. It puts the button in the notification pulldown if you like, rather than having to have a shortcut, but you can do that too if you like.

Hey guys, i have a captivate and im running ICS AOKP with nova launcher prime. My power button is near broken. It always sticks and requires multiple presses before a response. Is there a way to open power options (you know, it brings up the shutdown, airplane mode and reboot options) without pressing the actual power button with nova launcher or a google play app?
Eh...
I dont know of anything. That darn power button is a problem for SOO soo many people. However, something that may help you is going into setting, go to display, and hit volume rocker wake. This will allow you to wake up the device by pressing the volume buttons. Also, if you need to go into reboot options, try rom manager. You can access recovery from there. This is the easiest method I have heard about this issue.
Thanks for your advice. To be more specific, i wanted to be able to shutdown when i wanted. I had forgotten about the rom manager thing.
Also, something cool: If you use Nova launcher, you can change a setting to make the phone wake with the vol up/down. Also, if you buy the donate version and pair it with the app "screen off and lock", you can sleep and lock your device by tapping anywhere on the home screen twice. Its really nifty. Doing that makes you not even need to press the power button anymore....except when you want to shutdown, restart, or take a screenshot.

There are several roms floating around in the development section that have extended toggles. Usually this feature has reboot, recovery, and power off as options. I can't say which (if any) of the ICS roms have the extended power menu.
I can also say that MIUI's standard toggles have reboot and power on it.
Could you use QuickBoot for rebooting options?
Use my latest ROM
It has Search button remapped as Power. Both short and long press work!
I don't even use Power button anymore - Volume buttons to wake up!
Additional bonus - Search now works as Camera shutter!
ROM is in my sig.
Hey,
somebody know an app when you press the button on home screen device is going standby and next time waking up with fingerprint or iris or face recognition still work? Same function the hardware power button does.
Thanks
I an using Nova Launcher and set a gesture for screen off. Perhaps you want to try that as well.
Or you can use greenify and set swiping up of an ICON (mine is app drawer) to go to hibernate and sleep
I like the look of full screen mode, but don't appreciate constantly doing unintentional inputs when swiping up to bring up the navigation bar. I found the option to hard press where the home button would be in full screen mode to trigger the home button without having to swipe up. there should really be an option to do this with recent and back keys as well. is that area of the screen hard press sensitive? if so are there any apps or mods to be able to hard press recent and back keys the way you can with the home key?
the setting can be found:
Display > Navigation bar > HARD PRESS HOME BUTTON > ON
("Use the home button while it's hidden by pressing harder than usual")
Thanks!
Only the home button is pressure sensitive.
