Hello,
recently the power button stopped working properly on my UMI zero phone.
1.) I am looking for a solution to remap the power button function to a different key. (for example volume down or up key) - The phone should be able to be powered up by the remapped key when powered off by low battery etc.
If not possible to remap the key completely
2.) A autostart function would solve this problem too. for example when a charger is connected to the phone. I just want to avoid any lockout situation where my battery drains and I am not able to power the phone up anymore.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Help!
The power button on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (PT-7510 WIFI) is stuck in the depressed position. I must have pressed it to many times or pressed it too hard, whatever caused it I'm not sure. It still works if I press it hard enough but I don't expect it to function for very long and I'd like to fix it before it ceases functioning entirely.
Does anybody have any suggestions for how to repair this?
Has anyone ever had this problem?
You could try remapping the power button to a volume button. While the device is booted you can then use the volume button as power button. When the tablet is turned off you would still need the real power button though.
Edit: this is no longer an issue in CM13.0 snapshot. I went ahead and upgraded and can confirm volume rocker wake (and double tap to wake) work.
Hi All I'm on CM12.1 (MT2L03 cm-12.1-20151117-SNAPSHOT-YOG7DAO1K2-mt2) and can't seem to figure this out. I had the volume buttons waking the phone from screen off in 4.3 working great...I used that for quite a while (since I used the option to end calls with power button need volume buttons to wake screen also saves wear to power button) so the hardware supports it but not sure how to get it working on lolipop (CM12.1).
In Jellybean, I just had to add 'WAKE' after the volume keys like:
key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE (in /system/user/keylayout to the kl files)
I tried this for CM 12.1 and it doesn't seem to work. Since it worked before I suppose it could work again if a setting is changed or something.
Also I tried adding:
ro.config.hwfeature_wakeupkey=1
to my build.prop and rebooting and that didn't work either. (Setting it to 0 disables volume key waking)
The xposed module XUtilities option: Volume rocker wake also did not work.
The xposed module GravityBox doesn't have the option or I didn't see it there.
There's this reference:
http://cyanogenmod.github.io/cm_pla...ers/CMSettings.System.html#VOLUME_WAKE_SCREEN
which refers to VOLUME_WAKE_SCREEN setting (in CM API)
In the Buttons section of CM's settings, I have the End call (Pressing the power button will end the current call) option ON. One would think this would allow the volume buttons to wake the screen if the screen goes off during a phone call so you can wake it back up without ending the call. Also with this option on, on more than one occasion I went to turn my phone on just as an incoming call came in and used the power button which ended the call...so I've gotten in the habit of using the volume up/down buttons to turn on the screen getting around that issue (also saving wear and tear on my power button).
There's an app in the play store that can do what I want called DTSO (fails after time) VPL by prasi but it stays running and uses more battery power. The hardware solution that was working in 4.3 didn't require a background app to allow this feature and also didn't require extra battery power. So this isn't ideal. I'd rather have Cyanogenmod ROM directly support it or have a way to use it with it.
I want to be able to press the volume buttons and the screen come on like it used to. How?
Thank you for any suggestions :fingers-crossed::good:
Hi all, yesterday after rooting and flashing TWRP I decided to put the Pixel experience ROM onto my phone.
Now my volume up, volume down, home button& power button don't work.
I used a keylogging app and found that all the keys are showing up as pressed & when checking the keymapping in General.kl all the scancodes are assigned to the correct keys.
I tried using a button remapper to assign the buttons to themselves but when using that; the buttons showed up as 'Unknown'
I've been using my battery case to wake the screen & the multitasking to go home, but this is a real nuisance!
I am also able to power my phone off by holding the power and volume down, I've been using this to wake the screen (restart phone) but the power button doesn't work for waking the screen
I have an Android smartphone that I currently cannot power on past the charge screen... The power and volume buttons are broken.
How do I power on the device to get to my apps, home screen, etc (past the charging screen)?
Can I use the other smartphone that I have to access the phone with the broken power and volume buttons?
Thanks
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.
