I'm not sure what the cause of it is, but perhaps you guys can help me out.
I've had my Optimus V for a while now and have flashed IHO-backside to it in December.
Recently, my camera button has been acting very strange. You see, it still functions as a camera button. Holding it down (completely) will launch the right app, hold it down (loosely) focuses the camera, and pressing it down completely will take a snapshot. That's all fine and dandy.
However... When I'm not in a camera app the camera button takes on a different set of functions. For some reason, lightly touching the button triggers a Volume Up, Volume Down, and/or Voice button press. I'm not sure why this happens. It's very strange. If you even so much as to come to physical contact with the button, it will send those "button presses" above. Clicking the button still works correctly, though.
I went into the ClockworkMod recovery to double check the key presses for it. It was VERY difficult because pressing the camera button to select an option will trigger the Vol up, Vol down and Voice presses making me select the wrong options in the recovery menu. Anyway, the following gets returned when lightly tapping the camera button:
key 115, key 114, key 216. (Vol up, Vol down, and Voice)
I checked the key file located here: /system/usr/keylayout/thunder_keypad.kl and found that everything is still mapping to the right buttons.
Can someone please tell me what's going on and how to make it stop doing this?
Anyone?

im getting trouble to power it on
sometimes even the power button doesnt do anything
i didnt lock the keys
it is happen 5 6 times in a day
most of the time the 2 buttons of the contact and the calendar doesnt power it on when im pressing on them while the o2 is off
does anybody had this problemm - maybe it is because some software that i installed ?

My contacts and calendar keys do not power it on either. Also, if you press one of those, it seems to lock out the power button for a few seconds. If you press them multiple times, it may take a while before it will power on. Mine always responds instantly to the power button as long as I have not pressed one of the others.
options
There are options, under security settings I think.
I have mine selected. It only allows the XDA to be switched on by pressing the power button. Doesn't always seem successful though..
I quite often sit on mine, so the key-lock feature is absolutely essential...

So I've been hearing how people are starting to have problems with the power button getting messed up due to it constantly being pressed to wake/sleep the phone.
In order for you to use the camera button to wake the phone you must set all these permissions and I don't know how to do that haha. BUT I did find out how to use the focus button (soft press the camera button) to wake up the phone.
I'm on Stephen's Froyo 1.3 if that matters.
*I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYONE WHO SOMEHOW MESSES UP AND BRICKS/BLOWS UP THEIR PHONE*
All I did was add»
key 59 FOCUS WAKE_DROPPED
«to the 8k_handset.kl, qwerty.kl, and surf_keypad.kl in system/usr/keylayout using root explorer. (must reboot for changes to take effect)
I'm not sure if they all need it or not but its working fine for me.
Oh and sorry if this has already been discovered or posted somewhere else. Just trying to help out my fellow streakers
Try No Lock App
I have no idea why, but my phone already wakes with either power, or camera button. I do have the "NO Lock" app installed, so I never see the lock screen. Maybe that has something to do with it.
if you have no lock installed, your phone will wake up with any of the buttons being pressed (power, camera and the two volumn buttons).
I've installed cyanogenmod 7 on my vibrant and the home button randomly stopped working. Now, it only works when all the buttons are lit up. In other words, if I click the back button first to light up the soft buttons and then click the home button, it works (I can keep clicking it repeatedly and get a vibration feedback until it goes dark).
This has happened to me on previous installations of cyanogenmod 7. I'm guessing if I reinstall it again it will work for awhile and eventually stop working.
Any suggestions on what's going on?
That sounds like a very interesting problem. I read somewhere that our capacitive buttons aren't very sensitive. One way to ensure you're pressing the button is if you slide your finger over the button.
Is this possible? I just want it to not turn on the screen. I notice in my front pocket sitting down sometimes the power button gets pressed and turns on the screen. I would prefer the home button only cause it is flatter and more flush with the device. I am able to edit the home button to either wake or not wake the phone, but the power button wakes the phone even when I erase the fields in all the system/usr/keylayout files. There must be a backup file or something somewhere telling the power button to turn the screen on. I use WidgetLocker also.
Are you sure it's not the home button turning your screen on? Pretty common occurrence...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No. I have disabled that and will leave it disabled until I can figure out how to disable the power button.
i would like to see this as well, the power button is too easy to press accidentally. i tried editing the keylayout files but i couldnt get it to work either.... here's my ideal setup: the home button wakes the phone, the power button does nothing unless you long press it to bring up the power options menu. or press it while the screen is on to turn off screen.
I too have this problem.
The power button is easy to press when it's on my pocket and I even have a case on it. The case makes it a little harder to press but I can still hear the click of the button when so I know when it happens.
Hi all.
I have a phone Samsung 920I not "L"
OK to start from the beginning. I am new to this and followed steps from watching Channel48 on YouTube. Not blaming him it's just so you have an Idia of where I got my info from.
Instlled Odin
I installed twrp-3.1.0-0-zeroflte.img and it didn't work.
I then found twrp-3.3.1-0-zeroflte.img and installed it over the top, Now works when booting into recovery.
I then installed 920F Samsung recover file that was only about 25Mb in size and got my phone working again.
left it for a day then tried again.
Installed twrp-3.3.1-0-zeroflte.img with Oden. works
Installed: EvolutionX_4.1.69_zerofltexx-10.0-20200331-0232-OFFICIAL Works I was happy Looked at "About" and it now says my phone is 920F :/ Andoird 10 cool it works so who cares if it says 920F right!!!
I then booted back into Recovery and Installed: open_gapps-arm64-10.0-pico-20200228 and that said it successfully installed and I swiped to restart the phone.
My phone powered off and that's where this ends.
I have tried holding the power button for about 30sec and nothing happens I tried plugging into the charger and it doesn't respond to show it's charging
Is there something I can do now or is the phone dead This is my main phone as I love the Samsung S6 over the rest because it has the main buttons, not on touchscreen and IR so I can use the phone as a remote.
Thanks
edit. update
