Is there any way to end the call by pressing the power button?
I don't know of a way to do that. But, I also can't think of a situation where that would be beneficial. If you are using the phone directly, as soon as you move the phone away from your face on the screen there is a big red button. If you are using a heaset they all have buttons on them to end the call.
What is the situation you are experiencing where the power button would be more convenient than the onscreen button, or button on heaset?
Iv just came from the I phone and was use to pressing the top botton.
which will end the call and blacken the screen with just one button. instead of pressing to end the call then turn off the screen.

Is it possible to disable the "hold" feature on the call status screen? I'm left handed and every time I pick up a call my face touches the screen and puts the call on hold.
Or can i change the HOLD button's position on the keypad?
Call Status Features (When i make a call):
Speaker On Mute Hold
Note Contatcs End
Thanks!
Haha, funny, but I want to find the answer to this too. I sometimes End the call or press Speaker On when it touches my face.
try to find caller from forum Development and Hacking with somethig like a slide locking features off caller... i think it's from opal but i dont relly sure
Easiest, since it's a built-in feature, is to press the power button before raising the phone to (and touching) your face. This will turn off the screen, making it impossible to touch any of the on-screen buttons AND will NOT disconnect your phone call. Using the red end-call button to hang up will cause the screen to automatically come back on so you can continue using your device. If you need to use something on the device (contacts, calendar, etc) while still on the call, press the power button again and the screen will light back up - all without messing up your call.

The dude has the answer. Nice!
I have an HTC FUZE and I dropped it in a puddle of water and now the power button is constantly activated even though I am not touching the button. The button still clicks fine but again, the power button is always active. I cannot manually put my phone to sleep, nor can I turn it off using the power button.
My question is, could I remap the power button (long and short) to another button say the PPT button?
thanks
help anyone?
I had a similar problem with my first Fuze and had to get a refurbished replacement from AT&T. In my case the sticking power button caused constant rebooting of the phone. Probably not what you wanted to hear, but I was unable to do anything to unstick the button.
if the power button is just nt working, you can still put your phone to sleep with third paty softwares like psShutXp. But I don't think it is possible to remap it to a different hardware key afaik.

I was wondering if it would be possible to assign a long press of the back button to turn the screen off instead of clicking the power button. I heard that peoples buttons have gone out quickly and I try to avoid hitting the power button to prevent this.

Either lower the screen time-out, or just use the power button.
By the time it breaks you'll be wanting something else anyway.

I agree.
I haven't had any problems with my power button and I use the power button to shut the screen off a lot. Hopefully it stays like that.
search for Lock Screen Widget in the market. Totally free and all it does is just turn the screen off. not as simple as holding the back button but it does the trick nicely
if you're using cm 6 you can download LockEnabler and set it to the long press home action. Only side effect is you have to wait 6 seconds to turn the screen back on
There is an app called no lock. With this app you can unlock the screen with track ball or volume + -
So if you use the lock screen widget to turn the screen off and use no lock to turn it on again, you will never need to push the power button...just for first boot.
HAHAHA!
I had massive problem with my power button, my NEXUS has been serviced twice due to the same issue... so just use Lock Screen Widget to minimize the physical usage of power button.
Power button and mic were well known hardware issues so good luck with it!
Thanks for the suggestions they really helped and I appreciate it. How do I get this deleted?

Doesn't need to be. It will slowly get moved off the first page, second and so on unless people continue posting. Maybe it will help others too.
Sometimes, when I go to press the menu key on the phone my keyboard will pop up. When it does, the menu button's light turns off while the back key, search key and home key stay lit. It takes about 7seconds and then the menu button lights back up and I am able to hit the back key to take the keyboard off of the screen. This has happened on my home screen and in several other programs and even in settings menus. Any ideas on this? I'm not tech illiterate, but I can't find anything else on it. I am NOT holding the button down like a long press. I am aware of the fact that this is a normal function otherwise. But, this is acting strangely and very aggravating.
Edit: did a factory reset and deleted any apps having access to keyboard and the hold down menu for keyboard function is no longer there so that may have been a third party app. Hasn't done anything in a few minutes like it had been so maybe I lucked out. I also turned off haptic feedback on softkey presses to see if tmay help

Okay, I am on the second factory reset and no apps just a fresh nexus s 4g and still persists to do it. It brings up the keyboard every once in awhile hitting the menu button and disables the other soft keys still. Won't let me do anything for about 7ish seconds
I'm having the same problem. Did you ever find a solution?
Your keys are damaged it sounds like. I dropped my nexus s in the pool but caught it just as the bottom hit the water and afterwards the buttons wouldn't work or would all long press. Return it to the company or call your insurance.
Hi
During a call if you press the power button once it mutes the ringing but if you press it again in rejects the call.
How can I make it so that it can only mute during call but not reject the call ?
The reason is that I have my phone in my pocket upside down and when I get a call I sometimes reject a call.
regards, Aron

Anybody ?
Usually my power buttons just turns the screen off or ends call.. it doesn't mute ? Are you on stock ?
Sent From My Sexy Sensation.
Use the volume buttons to mute the call.
What I want is for the power button to not end the call.
same question here...
Not sure if this setting is the solution:
Settings -> Accessibility -> Power button ends call
You could try unchecking it
I dont have that option in accessibility.
Doesnt it give you the option to reject the call when it comes in. Im asking because I have the option to accept or reject a call when it comes in from home screen ? If you don't have that option, you can simply use the volume key to reject by turning off or down volume. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

Yes it gives me the option but twice pressing the power button causes reject call. This happens every time when i try to pull the phone from my pocket. So i want to disable this feature, twice pressing power button rejection.... :banghead:
