Hello guys. At first i´m so sorry for my bad english, so i´ll show you a video of my problem.
Phone - HTC Hero, Android 2,1

It will not go to sleep mode when pressing the end/power key. But it still takes phone OUT of sleep mode, but now I have to wait for the screen timeout instead of pressing the button again.
I tried to find answer to my question, but i failed... I tried Reboot, Spare Parts - i don´t know if it worked properly, Hard reset, but the power button still not working properly.
Thank you! Marty

Try to restore your phone to the default, or try to install a custom rom

Now i did a ROOT and i try to flash in some ROMs but it still not works + it cancels my outcoming and incoming calls...
Sounds like you have a failing power button.. like I do.
It's a real pain in the ass... been looking for solutions for quite a while, besides physically replacing the circuit board the button is on...
I know this is old but for anybody researching the same problem... after trying MANY different apps for taking over power button tasks, the only real solution was to buy a replacement "Flex Cable" assembly on eBay. Takes some bravery to install but everything works now.
But that's just my experience.
I suppose that the simplest way out id button remapper that you can find hear at xda.
By using such software you can easily turn any of the other physical keys of your device into the power button.

True, and they did work once the phone was up and running. However, when something went wrong on my rom and I needed to get into recovery to re-flash... I was SOL.
Yes, remapping is applied only after the kernel is loaded... So remapping is quite useless if the phone is switched off.
Im looking for a way to add 'Volume rocker to wake' function to my HOX+ its rooted and running AR 6.2. I know it might need some coding which I have very little experiance with so if it involves that a "Fools" Guide to do it would be greatly appreciated.

Both Viper roms have this option inside tweaks, you can wake phone using VOL UP and/or turn it off using VOL DOWN..

There is obviously a bug by using the ViperX+V1.0 ROM with the Viper Kernel...
After a few seconds, the ROM doesn't react on the volume rockers, they seem to be deactivated at some point..

Okay, the problem has something to do with Titanium Backup Pro!
Make sure you dont freeze HTC Media Link and Personalization!
I did it for hiding the Buttons in the App-Menu.
After rebooting my HOX+ the whole Sense Workspace was gone - nothing showed up, even after a few reboots.
Then I reactivated all freezed Applications in Titanium Backup Pro.
Now the volume rockers work proper for wakeup!
To threadstarter:
The Venom team done awesome work!
Get the ViperX+ ROM and re love your phone
just amazing!
Thanks.
I am on resurrection rom 5.0.5 (kitkat 4.2.2)

Try using CyanogenMod 11, SlimKat, OmniRom, Cyanfox, BeeanStalk, or any other KitKat based ROM just to make sure whether Resurrection Remix was causing the weird problem. If using a new ROM didn't solve your issue and you feel that the menu button is damaged, simply use a rom which supports a Navigation Bar to replace your hardware Navigation buttons. Good luck pal
are you sure ypu are not long pressing the button ? check you settings under buttons if you have by mistake set any custom actions for your buttons .. all the best and happy flashing
Forget about software tweaks that replace the physical buttons, These virtual buttons are only ever going to be any use as a backup for physical buttons...and then ONLY if you have a fully functional phone......
Get the button replaced......
If you end up in a bootloop, you'll need to access recovery or download to sort it out......a "virtual" button ain't gonna help at that point............

Are we talking about the touchscreen menu button or the physical home button?

Looks like this time I read it wrong.....
I think he's on about the capacitive touch button on the bottom left of the phone......NOT needed for recovery or download modes......

Hey. Thank you guys. I sorted out that problem. I did not recieve notification so sorry for late reply. I don't know how but the function was changed for short press of capacitive button. Its all good now.
Once again. Thank you
Hi reader xD.
So here's the thing.. I have an S3 with a nightly of cyanogenmod 13. After I installed it everything worked and was all nice and shiny. This is a kind of a backup phone that I only use sometimes specially when I want to try cyanogemod new releases. So this phone spends practically 90% of the year off. A few weeks ago, I turned it on because I was gonna set it up to loan the phone to a friend and I noticed that the volume key was not working (wasn't able to go into recovery mode). I also tried it in a music app and still could not control the volume with the button. Went to check the buttons settings and "control the volume with the button" is ticked. I also updated with another nightly through phone settings "check update".. but still.. no sings of life for the button.
So I opened the phone and took the button out.. and tried with a thin plastic tool to press directly where the volume button is placed (to check if it was a bad contact thing) and nothing happened.
I am guessing this is an hardware problem but don't know what to look for. Any suggestions on what more can I check? Any thoughts on this would be very much appreciated!
I see that I am f...ed xD.. ( T_T )
Is it possible to get into recovery mode without the volume keys? Because I would like to clean it all up.. install a cyanogenmod update and then find some kind of app to allow anyone that uses the phone to easily control de volume without those buttons and without going to the settings.. I think I've seen a forum talking about something like that.
Yes, by using either terminal ( if you have cm13 enable it in developer settings) or by using adb (adb reboot recovery). Easy. But you'd want to consider finding the component and buying it. It's cheap as chips and easy to replace. It has the volume buttons, the LED on the front and the earpiece.

Sure.. I guess I don't have much to lose if I try your suggestion. Gonna search for tutorials on how to do that and then just get my hands dirty.
Thank you!!
Hello everyone.
My power button suddenly stopped working. I'm running a Honor 7 (PLK-L01) with android 6.0 with emui 4.0.1. I'm not rooted. It has always worked before, but now it doesn't function if I press it. Short presses to wake the device, long presses to get the boot menu, it al doesn't work. I'm afraid that if my battery dies, I won't be able to turn my device on at all. Are there more people with this problem, or are there people who have a solution? I hope it's just a software problem, but I don't know how I can be sure if it is a software or a hardware problem.
I hope someone can help me.
Okay, it started working again. As soon as I pressed my volume buttons it responded again, like it was triggered by it or something.
Volume buttons and power button are very close together so maybe some kind of dirt got inside and stuck them.
yes, most probably some malfunction due to obstucles or small particles like dust,
its best once you get it cleaned
Service center is your friend to get it cleaned.
Yeah, could do that. But the closest service center is like 100 km from where I live ?

To avoid wear and tear in my power button, I use double tap to lock.
