Totally wrong.
Press and hold the Comm Manager and Voice Record buttons.
Keep hold of these buttons and momentarily press the soft rest button with the stylus.
Carry on holding the side buttons for about 5 seconds until a black and white warning message appears on the screen
Release the side buttons and press the Green Send key to perform the Hard Reset.
Sounds complicated, but isn't once you know how.
Or you could use Start / Programs / Clear Storage. (I've deleted the shortcut to the latter because it's FAR too dangerous when someone else is playing with your phone!)
it seems not to work
ideas anyone?
More info! What does it do/not do?
it just acts as a normal softReset.
what I'm doing is holding the comm manager button+voice button than with my stylus pressing the soft reset and letting go.
it's just reseting it self

Almost there.
When you press the reset button, hold it for a few seconds and then let go. Keep holding the comm manager and voice buttons until the screen says press the talk button to reset. Then let go of the top buttons and press the talk button.
ya only release the comm and voice when your screen display instructions
Mmmmm?

Which button is the "power" button?
I know what the "camera" button is but which is the power button?
wergeld
The power button is the rightmost face button. It shares a button with hangup call. For future reference, a circle with a line drawn from its center upward is the near-universal symbol for a power button/switch.
Um... the red button is the power. Press it while holding the camera button and you should be fine.
Holy crap.
You are right. I didnt even see the power icon...i sorta just saw left = green and right = red but not what the images where.
Perhaps I should not root my phone on nyquil?

No...do it but take some video while doing it!
It did the update to Dream.nbh but now it is stuck at the rainbow screen.
Sigh...should I take out the battery and reboot that way or is there a way to get out of the rainbow hell?

EDIT: appears 3 finger shuffle is back - green+red+menu worked great
Hi every1,
I have a captivate with a broken power button and it was driving me nuts for the last 2 months since I couldnot wake up the phone if it went to lock screen. I tried no lock and other apps but they didnt work 100% of the time. Today I found this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850464
It is button remapper utility but it doesnot support captivate yet. However my only concern was to remap my volume buttons to power button.
This is how I did it :
Firstly, we'll need to pull the file that controls the buttons which is entitled "aries-keypad.kl" in "system/usr/keylayout".
To pull the file, connect your captivate and run:
adb remount
adb pull system/usr/keylayout/aries-keypad.kl aries-keypad.kl
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Edit this pulled file like below :
key 115 POWER WAKE
key 114 POWER WAKE
key 102 HOME WAKE_DROPPED
key 116 POWER WAKE
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Key 115 was VOLUME_UP while Key 114 was VOLUME_DOWN. I reassigned both to behave as POWER button.
After you're done with your edits, you'll need to save the file properly (NO .txt files!), and then you'll have to push it back to the phone.
adb remount
adb push aries-keypad.kl /system/usr/keylayout
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Reboot your phone, and then check to see if the remapping works as expected. Your volume buttons should now behave as power button.
Simple and Effective!

Thanks for this, but I just have two questions.
Does this make us lose control of the volume using the volume rocker?
and
This change allows us to turn turn off the screen as well using the volume buttons, correct? Not just to power the screen on.
Yes you will lose volume control over which ever you choose. I personally chose to lose my volume up since i think it would be more important to lower my volume if i suddenly needed to. To answer you second question yes this function will work as an exact replacement for your power button meaning it turns the screen on, off, powers on and off, and would get you into download or recovery mode depending on the volume rocker you still had available.\
P.S. I did not change all options to the power key. I left the Key 114 VOLUME_DOWN the same.
oh alright. Thanks!
So I decided to go ahead and try this but I seem to run into a problem. I am able to pull the file through adb, but I can't seem to push it back into the phone. It gives me two errors: "operation denied" and "read-only file." Is there any way to fix this? If it matters, I am able to pull the file with having to do the "adb remount" step; idk if there is something wrong, but it won't let me "adb remount" either.
I've made sure I have all the su permissions so i don't what could be wrong.

You can edit the files on your phone using ES File Explorer.
If you install most asop builds there is usually an option under from control that will let you use the volume button to turn on the screen without losing volume cintrols . Works well too.
I don't mean to hijack this thread, but since we seem to have a similar problem, I figured you guys would have an answer.
How, if possible, are you guys installing custom rom since I really can't get CWM to work with the power button broken?
I'm using Root Toolbox to reboot in recovery, then using the home button for selecting things in CWM.
For example i remapped the power button to vol down. If my phone is off, can I power it on by using the volume down?

No you cannot. The remap only takes affect when android has booted. When the phone is off the power button is still the power button

That won't let you "sleep" the phone with the volume control button. My button is to the point where I press it sometimes it works, sometimes it brings up the power menu but most of the time it does nothing.
I use volume wake and an app called turn off screen. More inconvenient than power button but once you use the app once to turn off the screen it stays in your list when you long press the home key so I can turn off the phone without having to go the home screen every time.
Rip power button you are sorely missed.
I use rom manager to restart my phone into recovery for flashing.
I also asked this in another thread... I want to disable WAKE with power button...
I edited all . kl files in system > usr > keylayout and deleted WAKE on power button lines with no luck.
I am on galaxy s2 slim 2.7.0 rom. android 4.1.2
For those of you that this method did not work there is a much easy and hassle free alternative!! Takes a minute or two only!!
Get 'Go launcher' from the app market (play)
Get 'Go Locker'
Now Enable Go Locker on your device. And you are done!!
When the screen goes black again, Just press the volume button, The screen wakes up!!
Using this method you don't lose the normal functionality of the volume rocker!!
I respect the effort put in by "puneet_champ" to make this post.. I went through this post, I couldn't find a file named 'aries-keypad.kl' Good thing I didn't!
As a result of which I recalled that I used to have Go Locker on my phone, and that when I pressed the Volume key the screen turned on!!
At that time I found it a little annoying, But now it has turned out to be such a gift!!

The issue there is you have to have a custom launcher, and you can't turn your phone off yourself.
Samsung Galaxy S Captivate
Android 4.2.2
Kernel 3.0.66-g6c5dade
Cyanogen 10-1-20130224-NIGHTYLY-captivatemtd
I used both ES File Explorer and ADB method to try to edit the file to fix my power button issue.
Both methods allowed me to edit the file and have the edits remain after a reboot and reviewing of the file. However the edits don't seem to be doing anything as the volume keys still function as volume.
If anyone knows what I might be doing wrong it would be much appreciated.
^^^i had the same issue as you. No matter how I tried editing it to re map buttons it did not work. I trouble shoot this for many weeks and made no progress. A member did suggest making some custom scripts which was above my skill level. Ended up buying a new button. Actually just got the phone back fixed this weekend.

The file that you needed and you didn't find is probably not called aries-keypad.kl . Every sort of devices calls it a bit different, with keypad or kpd in the name of the file. For example the file on my device is called mtk-kpd.kl . You see?
Greetings, Plehai
Easier to use an app called button remapper and make the search button the power button. Volume buttons to wake.

Hi guys, this is my first post here.
I have rooted my Galaxy Y Pro B5510 and everything was ok.
I tried to remap a key from the system files in the root.(keylayout)
But first I backuped that floder to my SDcard.
I changed a key and reset the phone. The change I made was working so I wanted to return it to it's default. So I coppied my backedup files over the edited ones and reset the phone again.
But when the phone was turned on I couldn't use my physical keyboard anymore.
By the way earlier I used an application called "keyremapper". Can it be the source of the problem?
I have limited access to menus since I can't use the go back button on the keyboard and I can't even use the power on/off button, volume up/down button and so on...
The keyboard is completely locked.
I tried to re-copy my backedup files over the system/usr/keylayout/ using touchscreen with the application called "root explorer" but that didn't fix it either.
Guys can you please help me out here?
Thank you in advance.
Nevermind, fixed it.
Same problem, please help

Hi, Theodenn!
Recently I've lost control of keyboard on b5510 - it doesn't react at all. Touchscreen works well.
"Volume up" and "Volume down" buttons - the same, do not respond.
The situation looks like yours pretty well!
Please, could you explain, how did you manage to fix this problem?

Thank you for your reply: I tried to do that but it did not work.
I think this is because buttons "volume up" and "home button" do not work from the very beginning - they do not work even at the moment when I power the phone. I think so, because after the operating system is loaded - they do not work too.
Actually all the row of buttons above the typing keypad is also off (or locked). Optical joystick and keypad are off.
Only "Power button" and touchscreen are active and respond as earlier.
May be smth. else can be done?
