Hey all, well, that's it, the power button doesn't turn off my screen, instead it takes me home (launcher). Any ideas?

Take a look in /system/user/keylayout/
Make sure power button is set to WAKE
Also if this doesn't work You can try some apps to shutdown screen.

You told the Headset Controller was infected. Resoring inffected app will lead to the same thing. You have to locate this app and do not restore it

Nope I didn't, I said the last app I installed before this problem was the Headset Controller, but yeah, probably the infected app is that one xD. I'll try restoring again without that app. Thx

Then You're Stuck up really hard, Try both Hard and soft reset after flashing the ROM again. It might help

Just a quick question, if you change the direction for the power button, and your screen doesn't wake up by other hardware buttons, how the hell do you turn your phone on?

Take the battery and put it back. Start up the device, and wait until it boots. When it finishes booting, change the screen timeout to 30 mkins, and every 20 mins touch the screen. Hope this helped xD
Well, I was just asking, but thanks.
Lol, what if I had a unremovable battery?

My wife had the same issue. I phoned a Samsung repair center and they said its one of two things, the power point or the touch receiver. They are going to repair it under warranty.

Unfortunately, if the button is not working after reset, I'm sure there is a hardware issue. You should contact a Samsung repair center. I hate to have my phone touched by some local services, as most of them are kinda stupid doh

You need to hold the back soft key for a couple of seconds.
I hold it until it does the lil vibration

Lol this it isn't the home button that brings up multitasking.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
Holding down the home button brings up the recent apps. Holding the back button down brings up the "Multi-window" bar. If you don't see it, make sure you have multi-window turned on in settings or in the widgets in the notification bar. I think its one of the furthest widgets on the right (scroll).
Ok i guess i should use different words when i push the home button down sometimes it will stop bringing up the "recent apps" and i have to restart the phone for it to start working again

Exactly, the OP asked for the multitasking window feature, which is activated holding the back soft key that's located to the right of the home key.

Sorry for the confusion i used to call it muti tasking on my old phone i guess since its a multi window feature on this phone some can get confused

Try going into Settings-->Application Manager-->scrolling over to the ALL tab, and clearing the cache and/or data for the TouchWiz Home. If that fails to resolve your issue, then you may end up needing to do a factory reset. My device isn't showing any stored cache, so I would delete the data from my phone before doing a factory reset. However, you may have stored cache, which I'd delete that first and see if the problem goes away.
Are you running any sort of task killer? If so, many time the recent applications list gets wiped.
Good Luck,
Jason

I sometimes think of long home press as multi-tasking myself. Recently opened apps are lined up in their last data state ready for quick waking. And you can quickly get back to your very last app by tapping the see through screen visible below all the other apps.
I tried clearing the TouchWiz data and that didnt seem to help i guess i will do a factory reset tomorrow and hopefully that solves the issue if not ive only had the phone for a week so i guess i can do an exchange

I just read about a person who had a defective power button, so if the factory reset doesn't work then take it into Verizon and tell them the home button is defective.

Hello. I have a problem with my phone. Whenever i get a call the screen doesn't turn on and I have to press the home button to turn the screen on and be able to answer or reject. It vibrates and rings but the screen doesn't turn on :/
Any help would be appreciated.
