does anyone have the same problem with the ON/OFF Button as me? (white, 32GB, WLAN)
when unpacking my N9, i directly notice the sunken/ lowered ON/OFF Button
or is this normal ?
edit: the button feedback ends in the middle
I don't get that here
I dont have a problem with the power button, but my volume up button is hard to press. I am gonna take it back to Worst Buy and check out another one.

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.
So uh ... my HTC HD2's home button decides to stop working today.
I believe it's a hardware issue because instead of the usual "click" I feel when clicking the other buttons, the home button just sinks in - and the light on the home button always seems a lot dimmer than the other ones. I am wondering is there any way to hopefully solve this problem, or I guess I'll have to end up calling up HTC about this phone I got off craigslist. .___.
Thanks!
Is this possible? I just want it to not turn on the screen. I notice in my front pocket sitting down sometimes the power button gets pressed and turns on the screen. I would prefer the home button only cause it is flatter and more flush with the device. I am able to edit the home button to either wake or not wake the phone, but the power button wakes the phone even when I erase the fields in all the system/usr/keylayout files. There must be a backup file or something somewhere telling the power button to turn the screen on. I use WidgetLocker also.
Are you sure it's not the home button turning your screen on? Pretty common occurrence...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No. I have disabled that and will leave it disabled until I can figure out how to disable the power button.
i would like to see this as well, the power button is too easy to press accidentally. i tried editing the keylayout files but i couldnt get it to work either.... here's my ideal setup: the home button wakes the phone, the power button does nothing unless you long press it to bring up the power options menu. or press it while the screen is on to turn off screen.
I too have this problem.
The power button is easy to press when it's on my pocket and I even have a case on it. The case makes it a little harder to press but I can still hear the click of the button when so I know when it happens.
I have a le pan tc970 (froyo, no root) with a broken power button. I've tried the fix broken power button app but it doesn't work, the tablet still won't wake up with the app activated. The only thing that wakes up the screen is connecting the charger. I've cracked open the back of the tablet and can clearly see where the internal power switch is broken but I didn't have a spare part to fix it, the little spring is broken off, if all else fails I will open it back up and try some tin foil to cover the gap, but I really don't want to.. Does anyone know of another way to remap the power button or at least allow the screen to wake up with a volume button? Or have any insight as to why the fix broken power button app isn't working? Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'm tearing my hair out.
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.
