So with my cumutter case my phone is resetting in my pocket.. I thought there was a thread on this but I could not find it.... Instead of modifying the phone is there a way to make the power button not turn the phone off when held down??

1) How is changing what the power button does not modifying your phone?
2) If your phone needs a "battery pull", how would you do that? Your phone would be screwed man.

Are you talking about the button remapper app? Link below

To do a hard reset you wod need to hold the power and volume down button.... So I think that would be fine.
What I want is for the phone to still turn on and off the screen with the button but when you hold it down for a few seconds I don't want it to automatically turn off.... I just want that option shut down... I can download a wigit for power options...
Also the thread I was referring to was about actually modifying the power button... Not the software.

The only non-rooted options for the power button is to make it end a call. Also, holding it down for about 10 seconds gets you a soft reset

I am stock rooted.... How can I change this rooted???
And that's what I am saying.. I don't want it to soft reset when held down.

Here's a reboot trick for anyone that's tired of pulling there battery when phone locks up
I know this trick works on the HTC EVO 3D and the HTC EVO 4G could possibly work for others well here's what you do hold the volume up , volume down , power , search button down all at same time phone will reboot if your quick enough you can hold volume down & power to get back to recovery options if this helps anyone just say thanks.
Fyi, holding down all those except the search button will still reboot it as well.

Mine works fine here. This is how I always learned to do it. Press both volumes and then the power button. Hold until it resets.

Yep you guys are right, it works without the search button. I wasn't holding it down long enough.

It will sometimes only seem to work of you start pressing volume down, then up and power and holding. This trick works if your phone has frozen as well.
Nice!

So out of no where my power button is being very strange. When I press it, it will turn on the automatically turn off I will if i press it again the screen will flash on and then off, it only does this every once in a while, but its very annoying.
At first I thought it was my rom but it does it in recovery as well, I will press the power button and acts as if I double.pressed the button.

+1, mine also. Hardware problem?
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk 2 Beta-5
My refurb that I received a couple of weeks ago does this as well. Very annoying. I have an upgrade available and the EVO LTE cant get here fast enough.
Add me to the list, mine has been doing it for months.
Same here! I always thought the power button was a little sensitive. I wasn't sure if it was a software issue or a design issue.
Glad to know I'm not alone..
Certainly a hardware issue. Have you seen the size of the power button without the battery cover on? If you press too hard on power often, the button may become super sensitive.
I don't know any solutions. I've experienced it, but rarely.
So if mine gets worse ill take it on for replacement
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Yay Im not alone! :O Got that issue too.
Mine too. Not rooted
Also when mine does this, 50% of the time the phone will end up rebooting before the screen says on
Power button had been a problem from the beginning, mine is so bad that it almost sits flush with the body and I have to struggle to press it and get it to work. I remember people complaining about it when the phone came out and its a simple mechanical problem.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
Mine has a similar issue, but it's the volume buttons rather than the power button, where if I press it once, it registers two hits, which was particularly frustrating when I had TWRP 1.0.
It's definitely a hardware issue. My first one had this same issue. My new one doesn't have any problem at all. Switching the back cover doesn't make a difference on the new one. I can't get it to happen at all with it.
For a temp solution you can use leedroid tweaks and set something else besiders the power button to turn the screen/phone on/off. Like vol up, down, or camera button even.
Mine does this aswell, non-rooted

i though i am alone experiencing this haha, -___-
Hey. I have the EVO 3D and every now and then the phone freezes or maybe when restarting the phone it gets stuck on the boot image and ill just pull the battery to fix it. What is to be done in this situation if it happens on the LTEVO? My 3D is not rooted and is stock as can be so the freezing situation must be normal.

There's a key combination. Home and power for a few seconds? Not sure since I don't have one yet but I'm sure its in the manual.
Hold vol+ vol- and home all at the same time
There's a manual?

So my wife pulled her phone out of her pocket and her LTE was stuck like this.
Can't do a reset or anything. Anyone else have this happen?? On the way to a Sprint store now.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
i'll be honest..... doesn't look good........
on the 3D you could hold the 2 volume buttons, then the power button until the device reset. not sure if that trick is still available. give it a shot.
That looks like the beginning of the ole shut down/screen off animation.
Regardless, holding the power button down should reboot the phone. Assuming everything comes back up alright.
If you hold the power button for an extended period of time it will simulate a battery pull.

Be careful that this isn't the next thing that happens:
You need to hold the power and volume down button.

Tried them all......hold power button down for 30 seconds to simulate battery pull and power button with volume down. Both restarted right back to pixeled screen. Sprint rep called it "garbled" just now. They had no idea and hadn't seen it. Will see in an hour......

They were not sure and were able to replace the screen. Wife was thankful so she didn't lose all her customization and info.
Strange, but resolved quickly!

That doesn't look like an LCD problem to me... unless the connector was borked.
Ive seen that screen on my EVO shift long ago. More than once and I had to battery pull to fix it.
Sorry if it's the wrong forum

There should be a tiny pinhole in which you insert a pin and you should feel a button press in. Hold it down for 10-15 seconds and this should perform a hard reset. Failng that install a new custom Rom as these tablets normally come already rooted.
Thanks
