Hi all, my power button has went in but it's still pressible but very hard.
I am using stock rom without any root.
My warranty has already completed, I need a nice app which does the job of power button.
Double tap to wake is not working properly in my mobile because i have installed a temper glass for my screen.
I am currently using Gravity Screen app which is great to use. But i have one doubt, using proximity sensor for prolonged period will it damage them or there is no problem.
Or else are there any other app that will do the job of power button without using the proximity sensor.
Thanks in advance for your help
You could try Greenify, and add a short-cut which will greenify-and-sleep (turn off) your phone
turn off is not a problem how to wake up the phone without using power button

Use xposed and any xposed module. U can turn ur display on while pressing volume up or down button. I think gravity box have this feature..
And also using a modded SystemUI with 5 Button navigation bar or Invisible power button will give u access to power menu..

Download Power toggles from playstore. It has some good features that access to Power Button. No root needed. But for turn display on without root no idea mate

Using proximity sensor won't damage your device, but I think that gravityscreen prevents phone to going to sleep mode.
If you have root you can use xposed modules to set volume buttons to wake up your device.
[edit] I've just read that you don't want to mod your device. So you have to keep to gravityscreen.

Don't know if its just me, But the power button and vol Control buttons are getting harder and harder to register as time passes by, Normal presses on these buttons don't work now,
For me i have to press very hard on the power button to actually register a press. I am worried that someday i will be forced to send it to the service center and its not even an year into this phone.

U should use alternatives like quick reboot and have a shortcut for reboot and shutdown on home screen ,which can help reduce stress on power button.

Sorry ,but i make a mistake here ,its not quick reboot ,its quick boot by sirius applications ltd.
yeah , kinda worried about that too
for lock the device , u can download Screen off & Lock from market
and for reboot , reboot to recovery , i prefer to use terminal emulator
Shrug. The minimal warranty for similar issues is 2 years here in EU. Dunno about other parts of the world.
This it's just a entry level android...most of us will upgrade to high end androids soon
I know most of u guys agree with me
it's called button savior
Screen Off and Lock by Katecca/Tools
Try this widget from the market. works great on the optimus One.
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.
Hi, I'm on the official Samsung update and wanted to know if there is an app or Something that would allow the volume rockers to wake the phone instead of the power button. Searched the play store but all I could find was the "proximity sensor" wake apps but I find they drain too much battery.
Have you guys found any tweaks??
FOUND flashable zip!
found a thread with a flashable zip, do you know if it works with our phone? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987669
If a mod isn't for your phone you stand a good chance of borking your phone.
If you don't mind me asking, what's so great about volume wake?
its just to prevent damaging the power button from over use, if im able to wake using volume rockers it evens the button usage

For those with the sticky power button issue that'll cause boot loops.
Have you found a solution yet? I tried to modify the key layout files and set all Volume Up/Down to wake, no luck.
Thanks

hey im using an app called "tap tap app", i wake using the proximity sensor and you turn the screen off by using a widget button. not exactly what i was looking for but its been doing a good job of reducing my power button usage.
Doesn't work for me, even after I select "invert sensor". Anyway, thanks

that's a very remote possibility i don't think the power button would get damaged that easily. if it really bothers you, you could use a hard case for your phone to protect it from damages. However if that doesn't convince you, then, i'll let you know how to unlock without the power button.
Notice that your phone has sensors on the front? You can use that to unlock the phone.

But I still don't know how will you turn on the phone in the first place if your power button is destroyed If I were you and my power button is damaged, I would buy a new mobile
Keep alarm so it will ask whether to switch on handset or not. I used this method on my nokia 5800 when its power on switch was damaged. This method can be followed on Micromax a116 also.

Hi all,
doesn anyone know an App that allows our Moto E to wake up using the volume buttons?
I triev Power Button to Volume Button app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.teliapp.powervolume) but it turned out to be a battery killer

You can use xposed module for it
And many ROM supported it already

I forgot to state that I prefer not to root the phone at this stage, but I did some research and found that rooting the phone and installing the xposed module is the best solution. (Reason: apparently changing the binding of a physical key at system level requires root permissions and existent apps actually listen all the time for the key in background, causing battery drain.)
Thanks for the hint anyway
I think its in wrong section.. please read before post.. thread reported
Finally I made the choice to unlock the bootloader and root the phone.
I went straight installing xposed and gravity box module. Applying all my customizations, including the volume button wake up and the double tap standby, was a absolutely a breeze.
