So, for the past few days, I've had to push the power button three times to turn the screen on. Yesterday it completely stopped working, and had to use a Viper tweak to use volume buttons as power button. Late last night it has been working so-so. Aby ideas?

This is more of a workaround than a fix, but MeanBean has the option to use the camera button to turn the screen on, to hold the home button to load the advanced power menu, and to hold the back button to turn the screen off. You can get by pretty well without ever using the actual power button.

Hi guys, I got the HTC Legend, and I'm finding it a pain to have to press on the lock button every time to wake it from sleep and so I want to be able to wake it by pressing on the optical trackpoint or any of the capacitive buttons as well.
It really frustrates me sometimes if I forget I've turned it off already and I try to wake it, so I press the power button, and it boots up instead and I have to wait for it to turn on only to turn it off again.
If anyone knows any solution please help me. It's driving me insane. On the iPhone I could just press the home button to wake and it wouldn't turn on the phone if it's off. I'm on stock Froyo 2.2 with sense UI, not rooted. Would prefer not to root and definitely not install a new ROM as it is not my phone and I don't want to mess with it too much. Thanks.
you could use an app like widgetlocker to achieve this. link to market
I'm curious, how the phone turns off when u press the power button to unlock the screen.
Do you have the lock screen setup? It should not be able to turn off untill screen is unlocked then the power button pressed and held again.

Trackball waking cannot be done via froyo sense! If you are willing to root your phone then flash Cm 7.1 as your rom. Then you can go to settings to activate trackball waking.
Other than that you can look around the market for apps that allow this.

what I meant was to unlock the screen while the phone is on by pressing any button apart from the power button, because at night I turn off my phone (the normal way), then I forget if I've turned it off or not, so I press the power button again, and then the startup screen appears - Sh*t! so I have to wait for it to turn on again so I can turn it off.
So essentially I want to press the capacitive buttons or trackpoint so that
1. It will unlock the phone if it is on.
2. It will not turn on the phone if it is off

hmm thanks. But when I looked through the comments everyone finds it a huge battery drain... So I'd rather not.
Thanks for the suggestions guys but if anyone knows an app that can does this it'd be great! So frustrating!

Currently no app except for widget locker and some launchers allow this. The only other way is to root and flash.

I think what he is saying is that he can't check if the phone is off or not.
Why you don´t use the rom from blay0 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=866849)? It is based on HTC stock version and has several extensions and wake on trackpad. It is very stable and i had no problems with this rom in the last months.
Would it be possible, and has anyone made, a mod to require a double press or long press of the power button for screen on? I have had my 3d since launch day and I finally can't take it anymore, nothing is more irritating than pulling my phone out of my pocket and the screen is already on and I have no battery left.
Screen time out? Never had that issue... Volume rocker wake? Idk

With my previous "HTC Desire" I was able to edit the file "bravo-keypad.kl" so that the power button does not turn on the screen ... check out this post if you want to try.
Greetings.
Get rid of your skinny jeans and put a pattern lock.

Hello,

I use the fully LeeDroid ROM and there you can set the volume buttons or the camera button for unlock the screen. So you won't have your problem with the power button any more
My Power button quit working yesterday. I am trying to remap my volume button to wake the screen, and be the new power button. I can't seem to get it to work. I am rooted and I am using root explorer to edit the text.
I have found a number of apps that will wake my screen and some of them work okay, but I have to have lock screen enabled because of my corporate email, and once the screen locks, the apps don't work.
Also, I am worried that if my phone ever get's powered down (runs out of battery), I don't know how I would turn it back on.
Any advice???

I need a physical button. I'm rooted on Gingerbread and I want to update to ics but I can't figure out how to fastboot without a physical power button
There's a few apps in the store like 'quickboot' that'll allow you to boot into fastboot if rooted. Just remember for menus like recovery, you're likely to be stuck once you need to use the power button to select an option

Send it to service to get it repaired. It's pretty cheap for repairing a single button.
my htc amaze has a broken power button and would flash on and off unless i take out the battery. the power button is gone, but the power sensor is still there. the phone will stay on if i push on the power sensor correctly.
you guys have any advice on fixing this and how much would it cost to repair?
thanks a bunch
have you checked on ebay for any repair parts?
Should be warranty.
yeah i checked around ebay and google for a power ribbon flex, but no luck finding one.
i found this searching around, but does it work for htc amaze? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1524858)
heres a picture if it helps:

I used Button Remapper to map the power on/off to the camera button. Never used the camera button anyway.
You can remap the power button to nothing.

Does it work to turn the phone on when its off? I only ask because I would like to set it up like you did with camcorder button.

It won't be able to, since the power button is assigned to turn on the device. There's one way I know of that you can use to turn the phone on when it's off. It requires a computer though.
You will need 4ext recovery installed. After that, have the phone connected to a computer and then (assuming you have adb drivers set up) type in the following command:
adb reboot
That should boot up the phone.

Sorry for the delay in answer. You can map the power button to whatever button you like. It does turn the phone off and on. I will act exactly as the power button does.

That's incorrect. Once the cam button is mapped as a power button, it will behave exactly as the power button.

No it doesn't behave like a power button. Sure it can wake the device and put it to sleep, but it CAN NOT power up the device once it's off. The power button sends a different kind of signal when the phone is off, and cannot be remapped with software means. It's a hardware button that tells the phone to turn on.
Before you go and tell me that it's not true, I even tested it out myself just to be sure and yep, it doesn't power on the device once it's off.

I stand corrected. I thought he was talking about stand-by off. I also tested if the button works to power on the device and you are correct, it doesn't work.
To the OP. My power button does work if I remove the battery case and press the spot where the battery case button would make contact with the phone. It would seem to be a problem with the button making contact with the phone.
Running CleanRom 2.5, my phone previously presented me with a Power menu when holding down the power button. This allowed me to either Shutdown or Reboot. Now, whenever I hold the power button down, it reboots automatically without offering me any choices. What causes this and how can I fix it?

yep, unfortunately, installing tweaks like AutoBrightness Patch or Tether Patch breaks the power menu.
