Hello to all.
After changing between ROMs the power button on my phone has become unresponsive when trying to lock the screen or switch off the phone.
I installed Spare Parts Plus to set the button to sleep, but it didn't do anything.
The button works when trying to go into recovery, but once in recovery it remains unresponsive though search button works to select items even though the recovery is non touch based.
Can anyone recommend a solution or app I can install to lock the screen?
Thanks.

Anyone else have this (I have the Korean SK model, E210S), sometimes it just freezes on the screen lock. Touch screen unresponsive, holding down the power button gets me the menu and then it seems to work. Just tapping the power button (to turn off the screen) doesn't work, home button doesn't work, etc. Never need to reboot, but it is irritating.
Pretty sure I overheated the phone last night, and now the power button doesn't work. I fell asleep with it in my pocket, I got a call from my wife early in the AM, after the call I found the screen wouldn't turn off. So today, I've tried an app or two to replace the power button, tried a 3 hour battery pull, and in a brief instance of idiocy, decided to reboot into recovery to try and wipe everything and see if that would do anything - now I am stuck in CWM Recovery w/out any working power button so I cannot even exit. I've tried pulling the battery again and it just reboots into recovery.
Any tips on how to get it out? I want to pull my pictures and info, wipe the phone then sell it on ebay - What would I need to do?
if it is a custom recovery you can use ADB while booted into recovery.
adb pull /sdcard
Has anyone had a problem with just the power button not working at all anymore?
My SII had the problem recently that the power button just does not work, so I can no longer wake the phone up after the screen has shut off. I'm guessing it is a hardware problem because I even restored it all the way back to stock.
Does anyone know how hard it is to replace the button if it is bad?
I had my power button fail for several days on me (it has since started workign fine again tho). I was in a similar place but when pulling battery, my phone would reboot normally so i could at least use my phone while on the charger. I know that pulling battery, holding volume up/down and reinserting will boot you into recovery so i'm wondering if your volume button is messed up too? can you navigate up and down in recovery with the volume keys?
I had to get my button working to position myself to avoid the issue but I'm now pretty much power button free and running siyah kernel (touch recovery) and i use the Stweaks swipe to unlock feature, rootbox rom with a power menu toggle, and a lock screen widget so i don't have to use my power button at all. Again, i had to get my power button working to flash the kernel though maybe you can push the kernel with odin then you'll have the touch recovery to try wipes and resets with?
edit: here is a link of tearing down a 9100. I think our power button is the same- unfortunately it looks like you have to solder the new one in.
I couldn't find the part# for the i777 (or confirm if it's the same as the 9100) but the power button for the 9100 is KEY FPCB-POWER KEY(GT_9100) GH59-10916A and is about $5 online
here's a vid of the breakdown, he's replacing the screen but browses over the power/volume keys too.

Hello everyone
I replaced my lcd and digitizer because the touch did not working on the original screen of K3 note
I have the following problems
The screen works and touch also when i power up the device but when i lock the screen from power button the screen 8/10 times never turn on and i can see only the backlight, if i press multiple times the power button it will turn on finally but i never know when it will. If i remove the battery and turn it on again , everything works fine until i lock the phone. The phone works when it is locked by the way. Also if i press the power button to unlock the touch works but i can see only the back light no image.
I tried to lock and unlock the screen with gestures , same problem.
The weird think is that sometimes it turns on.
One think i forgot to mention is that sometimes when the screen turn on after pressing the power button i see black horizontal lines for some seconts(flickering) and then they dissapear
I tried a lot of different roms, i disconnected and connected again, never sleep mode with safe locker , i disabled the proximity sensor with x posed , i removed the sd card, nothing helped.
Can anyone suggest me something else to do?
Changing screen settings maybe? and how
Thanks a lot and sorry for my engish it is not my native language.
Hi. I have been using my Verizon V10 since November now and it has been great, but recently (like in the past 3 months) I have been unable to use the mini-view feature for one handed use. Whenever I try to swipe on the home buttons, the phone screen freezes and I am unable to click anything on the touch screen. What I am able to do at this point is use the volume rockers and power button, but strangely enough I am able to double tap the screen and turn the phone on but once the screen on all touch capabilities are gone again. The only way I have been able to resolve this issue is by removing the battery and replacing it. If anyone could help me that would be great!
I have never used any modifications of software. Only used stock firmware.
My coffee was spilled a little on device. Cleaned it immediately.
Then I got a freeze after boot up. I could see the home screen, but touch screen not responding, "Menu" and "Return" lights continuously lit and not responding. The removal of battery or long press of ON/OFF button was the only method to turn off. But the battery % shown on screen was correct each time. If I called the device, it was offline.
I connected the phone to my computer and it was recognized by windows. I did not transfer any files to phone by odin, but I have Odin application.
I used 3 button combinations to wipe cache, then boot up, but no change.
Then I used 3 button combinations again to return to factory settings and wiping everything. Now I get a solid screen where I need to select language but the menu and return lights a on continuously, and the touch screen does not respond.
So far, I can see that my three hardware buttons, on/off, volume, home buttons are working. Phone also was returned to factory defaults. But the problems continue to be the same. They are: no touch screen reaction, continuously lit menu and return buttons, home (OK) switch not working after boot up.
I have started to think that there might be a hardware problem. I have downloaded the service manual, can solder things, even have a microscope if needed.
Can somebody guide me to check where is the problem please?
