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.
because of the Zagg invisble shield moisture my power button has been destroyed.
Samsung won't replace my broken galaxy tab so I've though up this idea but need some help with it.
I am wondering if I can remap the power command to a volume rocker button (long press or something?).
So I can at least wake the device up out of standby.
If it's possible I'd like the device to also boot using the long pressed volume rockers or something. I am now booting it by repetedly pushing and pulling the power cord in it so itll get short pulses which seems to get it booting.
Many thanks!
Hi everyone.
I just wanted to ask if somebody knows a way to wake the phone (display) just with the home button? My display is often turned on by the power button unintentionally because i always cary my phone in my pocket. The home button on the other hand is well protected by the samsung flipcover i'm using. so, if there is a way, than i could save a lot of screen-on-time and therefore battery.
I have a strange issue with the home button not working.
Originally I changed the front camera, rear camera, and mid frame.
I turned it on, and I found that the home button does not work, but the soft buttons did.
I changed the charge port daughterboard, and put in a new home button.
However, the home button still does not work. Everything else does.
Anyone have any ideas if I damaged the motherboard?
Hi guys,
Recently I discovered that my power button is defective, I need to pull out the button because it keeps to locking the screen and causing random reboots in my Mi 10. I'm already bought the new flex cable buttons to repair, my question is: is there a way to 'disable' that power button or change the power on/lock/unlock screen to volume up or down? Because it would help me alot.
I don't know if is there some low level file that mapping these button inputs.
Any help I would appreciate.
Thanks.
