Hello,
After my phone got wet recently, it is showing a strange problem. the phone does not turn down its display after 1 mins (default), I press the power button, the screen turns off back to on again. Please help.
thanks
How is this related to Tasker?
this helped

problem was that the home button internal circuit lies close to the power button, so when I pressed the power button, the home button also got activated after the phone got wet.
So, I looked for a solution where pressing the home button doesn't wake up the phone.
and finally I found it in wannam exposed module.
Yes it's not directly linked to Tasker, button we can also achieve the same function with Tasker by playing with the kl files in system/usr/keylayout folder
This doesn't belong here.
You should go to your device forum.
Hopefully a moderator will delete this post.

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,
Yann
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.
Hi guys,
The power button on my xperia does not seem to work correctly - it powers my xperia up but that is it. Once on, I can not use the power button to turn the screen off, I have to wait for it to time out..... I also have to pull the battery to switch the phone off :-S
Has anyone had this issue?
Thanks for your help.

I have the same problem! ; ;
im searching the whole forum now so if i find anything ill let you know!!
i think that it has something to do with flashing the baseband wrong?
what baseband are you on?
kernel?
and rom?

I had this issue when I had spare parts installed. I had accidently deactivated the power button in the settings.
it worked

i did this and it worked for me!
to clarify its:
Spare Parts > Spare Parts Settings > End Button Behavior > Go To Sleep
So I lied... The whole spare parts thing didn't work for me.
After getting frustrated with this on multiple roms i found a solution.
I'd post the thread that i sort of found it in but i cannot exactly find it.
What i did was edit the es209a_keypad.kl in /system/usr/keylayout (with RootExplorer)
this file maps the hardware buttons on the phone and to what they do
after i changed it:
key 107 ENDCALL WAKE
key 62 ENDCALL WAKE
key 231 CALL WAKE
key 61 CALL WAKE
key 102 HOME WAKE_DROPPED
key 116 POWER WAKE
Now there are other buttons that are in the file but i just left them blank, meaning it says *key ### NAME *, with no wake or wakedropped
hopefully this can help some people
PS: you need to restart your phone for the file to take effect.
After the boot it took about 3 presses but now the power button is fully functional it puts the phone to sleep, wakes it up, and brings up the power option on long press!!!!!
Hi,
When doing a long-press on the power button of my Galaxy SII, after a few seconds, it powers off. This happens whether it is locked or not, and without asking for confirmation on the screen.
I'm using a Sena leather case, which presses on the power button. Each time I put it in the case, it powers off, then it restarts, and stays on "enter SIM pin code" screen. I may have discovered a new way to switch to Airplane mode but I'd like to avoid that.
Moreover, there is a distinction between :
- long press (2 seconds) : brings the power menu (Airplane / Reboot / Switch OFF)
- very long press (approx. 8 seconds) : switches the phone OFF
Also, these two keys are active even when the phone is locked.
Here's what I would like to do : disable both the 2 seconds press and the 8-seconds press when the phone is locked
I found some threads about key remapping applications or direct edit of keymap files, but none of them were successful.
Could someone point me out an application / a way to achieve that ? Does someone know if it's ever possible ?
(For now, the only workaround I found is a hardware one : disassemble the phone and sand the power button to reduce its height, so that it stays inside the casing)
Thank you in advance. Kind regards
My old HTC Hero used to do that too, which leads me to believe it is something hard-coded into Android itself. I'd suggest there is nothing much you can do, but wait and see if a dev replies or something.

I don't know if it's possible but if it is it has to be something in the kernel.
The 8 second power off function works the same way as the on on your PC and is used if your phone stops responding so I don't see a way to disable it with an app because it's ment to turn the phone off even if an app freezes your whole phone.
Hi,
If the 8-seconds press is hard-coded, I think precautions should have been taken to avoid unwanted power off each time you put the phone into a leather pouch !
On iPhone f/ex, you have to press both power and home button during several seconds to trigger hard reboot, which makes unwanted action hard to happen unexpectedly.
It's always frustrating to encounter such a basic problems on a $600 phone using the latest state-of-the-art technology, which powers off each time you put it into your pocket ;-)
I hoped some developer has found a way to workaround this. I googled a lot, but I didn't find anything.
So, if the power button features are hard-coded, the only solution may be to hard-remove the entire power button
Problem solved.
I disassembled the phone, I removed the power button, I carefully grinded it to reduce its height, and I put it back into the phone.
(For those who may already owned an iThing, disassembling a Galaxy SII is very easy, it's a matter of seconds with a good old mini-screwdriver; proceed carefully when grinding, because if you reduce the height too much, the buttom may break)
Now my power button height is just below the casing. It's still possible to press on it with a finger, but it does not press by itself when putting the phone into my leather pouch.
Thank you for explaining it I had an issue with my S II and it went to service to solve it, they totally changed the board and was shocked when I found the short press on power button doesn't show the power menu I used to have and it switched off immediately!
I've got to return it to service and your post made me thinking it's a simple issue! It won't take time
Regards,
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...

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.
Hi, I couldn't find anything about this issue here, on Dell forum there was discussion about it 2 years ago but it wasn't solved, but it seems that a lot of people face this issue and I'm honestly surprised no one talked about it here.
So I just bought this tablet, it's used but whatever, at 56% of the battery it shutdowns and there is no way to power it back on without connecting to the charger. Can't even access bootloader menu, it's just dead.
Has someone faced this issue and has any idea how to prevent this from happening? It renders the tablet unusable and I don't really want to pay the service for changing the battery if it's gonna do the same thing
Thanks
I got the same problem but no solution. The only thing I recognized, is that the tablet things it got 11.000 mAh instead of 5900 mAh. But why?

Found something:
Try the following and see if this resolves the problem. This is not a master reset so your information will not be deleted.
1. If your device is on, turn it off.
2. Press & hold the Volume down button. While holding Volume down, press & hold the Power button until the device turns on. You'll see the word "Start" with an arrow around it .
3. Press the Volume down button until you highlight "Recovery mode."
4. Press the Power button to start recovery mode. You'll see an image of an Android robot with a red exclamation mark.
5. Press & hold the Power button. While holding Power, press the Volume up button once. Then release Power.
6. Press the Volume down button until you highlight "Wipe cache partition," and then press the Power button to select it.
7. Press the Volume down button until you highlight “Yes,” and then press the Power button to select it.
8. Wait until the cache is wiped. You’ll see the words, “Cache wipe complete.”
9. Press the Power button to restart your device.
