Tried to turn on my XDA yesteday and the button fell into the device ! This caused not to be able to turn on the screen unless I got a call. I downloaded Vito SystemTools' button maping program which allowed me to make my calendar button (when held down) to turn the screen on and off. The problem is that turning the screen on and off is not doing the same thing as the power button did. I was under the impression that all the power button did was turn the screen on and off to save battery and prevent unintended input. However, now my battery dies in 6-8 hours of use compared to the normal 2 days. Obviously, there is somthing more that the power button does.
What I'd like to know from the developers is if there is a program called by the power button and how I should access it. The button mapper program allows me to map any program I want to (almost) any hardware button (not the volume button). If it's a DLL or somthin I can probably write a wrapper program for it with some pointers.
I'm also in the market for a dummy xda or just another power button if someone has one just to get it to look better. However I like the functionality of holding down the calendar button for 1 second to turn the device on/off and would like to keep that permanently.

The power button is probably hard-wired to some processor wake-up logic. So when you turn the processor off, it's going to be very hard to make it wake up by anything else. You could write something that makes it wake up very very momentarily, say every few seconds, to check for a button-press. But my guess is what you want is a new power button.
damn Well i'm waiting on a dummy phone auction unless anyone over here has one to sell me.
I got exactly the same problem, the only difference is that i managed to get it back and i putted some silicone glue in it. It works and don't ask me how ;-)
Anyway, why don't you just press on the call - hang-up , calendar, volume button to wake the phone up?
Than just change the settings in battery power to make it shut down after 5min or 10min. It should help you reduce your battery life time since the phone gets automaticly in sleep mode after that time.
good luck,

I have my phone set not to wake up without the power button being pressed. I can turn this off but then buttons get pressed in my pocket since I don't like belt clip holders.
Im 14, and I leave my phone on, but in my locker during school. After school is over and I bring my phone out, it is not off, it just doesnt respond. Pressing the power button doesn't wake it up, and holding it doesnt turn it on or off. I have to take the battery out and put it back in, then restart my phone.
Once my phone is on, i have <20 percent power left.
When It's the weekend, I always have my phone with me and I usually check it every few minutes. (Just pressing the power key to wake it up and see if I have any unread messages). I have my auto sync off, but every like 30 minutes, I check my phone and it turned auto sync on? WHY DOES IT DO THIS?
So my phone is almost not useable. I have 2 batteries... I've tried both, they are not dead, it's the phone that is killing them.
SO... MY QUESTIONS ARE:
1) WHY does my phone become un-able to wake up after hours in my backpack, and why when I take the battery out and put it back in, does my phone have under 20% battery?
2)Why does my phone turn Auto-Sync on every 30 mins or so?
THANKS EVERYONE!!
Hi,
When doing a long-press on the power button of my Galaxy SII, after a few seconds, it powers off. This happens whether it is locked or not, and without asking for confirmation on the screen.
I'm using a Sena leather case, which presses on the power button. Each time I put it in the case, it powers off, then it restarts, and stays on "enter SIM pin code" screen. I may have discovered a new way to switch to Airplane mode but I'd like to avoid that.
Moreover, there is a distinction between :
- long press (2 seconds) : brings the power menu (Airplane / Reboot / Switch OFF)
- very long press (approx. 8 seconds) : switches the phone OFF
Also, these two keys are active even when the phone is locked.
Here's what I would like to do : disable both the 2 seconds press and the 8-seconds press when the phone is locked
I found some threads about key remapping applications or direct edit of keymap files, but none of them were successful.
Could someone point me out an application / a way to achieve that ? Does someone know if it's ever possible ?
(For now, the only workaround I found is a hardware one : disassemble the phone and sand the power button to reduce its height, so that it stays inside the casing)
Thank you in advance. Kind regards
My old HTC Hero used to do that too, which leads me to believe it is something hard-coded into Android itself. I'd suggest there is nothing much you can do, but wait and see if a dev replies or something.

I don't know if it's possible but if it is it has to be something in the kernel.
The 8 second power off function works the same way as the on on your PC and is used if your phone stops responding so I don't see a way to disable it with an app because it's ment to turn the phone off even if an app freezes your whole phone.
Hi,
If the 8-seconds press is hard-coded, I think precautions should have been taken to avoid unwanted power off each time you put the phone into a leather pouch !
On iPhone f/ex, you have to press both power and home button during several seconds to trigger hard reboot, which makes unwanted action hard to happen unexpectedly.
It's always frustrating to encounter such a basic problems on a $600 phone using the latest state-of-the-art technology, which powers off each time you put it into your pocket ;-)
I hoped some developer has found a way to workaround this. I googled a lot, but I didn't find anything.
So, if the power button features are hard-coded, the only solution may be to hard-remove the entire power button
Problem solved.
I disassembled the phone, I removed the power button, I carefully grinded it to reduce its height, and I put it back into the phone.
(For those who may already owned an iThing, disassembling a Galaxy SII is very easy, it's a matter of seconds with a good old mini-screwdriver; proceed carefully when grinding, because if you reduce the height too much, the buttom may break)
Now my power button height is just below the casing. It's still possible to press on it with a finger, but it does not press by itself when putting the phone into my leather pouch.
Thank you for explaining it I had an issue with my S II and it went to service to solve it, they totally changed the board and was shocked when I found the short press on power button doesn't show the power menu I used to have and it switched off immediately!
I've got to return it to service and your post made me thinking it's a simple issue! It won't take time

Hello,
Since rooting the phone it will not restart without pulling the battery.
If in Xposed "soft reboot" or "reboot" both turn the phone off and it will not respond to button input to re-start
If pressing power until power off menu comes up and I press reboot, it shuts down and will not re-start until I pull the battery.
If I plug in the power while it is in this state it will not charge or start
Once I pull the battery, it will:
Charge without starting when plugged in
Start with power button press
All else acts normal.
Any ideas? I just hate taking the stupid case off and pulling the battery any time I have to re-start!
I haven't narrowed down what causes it, but I've eliminated a lot of things:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/rebooted-140-times-attempt-to-narrow-t3251949
Just for clarity, it more than likely isn't actually "off", it's rebooting and getting frozen with a black screen. Besides pulling the battery you can also long press the power button (10 seconds?) to force it to turn off, then turn it back on again. I usually just pull the battery too because it's quicker.
Yeah, no the long press doesn't do anything no matter if I leave it pressed for 5 seconds or even 45 seconds (Tried that several times)
Leaving it alone for an hour doesn't do anything. If anything I'm doubting that it turns all the way off rather than gets stuck rebooting. It is absolutely frozen until I pull the battery.
Here are the only things I have found which works to avoid taking the phone apart:
From Quickboot: Power Off (do not reboot, do not soft boot, etc, just power off) (quickly powers down, almost instant)
or
Press and hold power button for menu: Power Off (longer time to power down)
From either of those, the power button turns the phone back on no problem.
No rebooting works.
I user a samsung galaxy note 8 (N950U). Of late i have noticed my phone goes into a particular mode where the screen is off, no button works, calls will not come true like some sort of standby mode. I feel screen vibrate when i press the center of the lower screen. The only way i can get my phone back on is to press the power button for it to come on. One weird thing is how i have to reset date and time after it has come on.
Kindly advice what i can do about this.
