I'm on insert coin. What is supposed to happen when I press the power button? For me, it goes into a "screen capture" mode where pressing home rapid fires screenshots as many times I press Home. I have to press power again to sleep it.
it should turn the screen off when you just press the power button. when you hold it for 3sec then release, it will display the extended power menu (power off, hibernate, restart, etc) and when you hold the power button and press home, it takes screenshots of whats currently on the screen
Mine doesn't do that. It does what I said. How do I fix that?
BUMP - now it is random
Wipe and Reflash and see if that helps?

Is it possible to change the power button function?
I keep pressing it by mistake when I use my phone in both landscape and portrait modes. I've had the phone for ages now and just can't hold the phone comfy without my fingers resting against the power button.
It would be nice if I could set the power button to sleep on long press like the reboot menu, and have the reboot menu on a 10second press.
Would this be possible?

It's a simple general question how does the power button work I can't imagine it
I only can imagine power switches
but how does any device respond to the power button that turns on your phone while the same long press can open the power menu and not shut it down
Or lock your phone

Physically, pressing the power button closes a circuit. While the button is pressed, electricity flows. When not pressed, there is no circuit. The software/firmware interprets between a short press (screen on/off) and a long press (device power on, power menu, etc) and performs the appropriate action. Same with the volume and other physical buttons for stuff like hard reboots, screenshots, etc.

Thank you
My power button doesn't have the feedback anymore when pressing down like it does normally. Sometimes I have to press it again to have it actually work.
Has anybody ever replaced the power button? Is there soldering involved?
Now it has to call the screen cap by power off button, how to set it under scroll down meun? thanks.
Press power plus volume down button?
I've found holding down the power button is the best option. It gives you a menu with Screenshot in the list.
Alternative is as viperc suggested, or you could long press the home soft button and use the Google Share Screenshot feature?
When I press my power button to shutdown the screen my phone takes a screenshot I've gotten to the point where I can do it any time I want.It still does the palm swipe and power and volume down screenshot. How do I make this go away?

Maybe the volume down button is permanently triggering.
Can you check your volume, if it sticks to a higher level?
Turns out I had a bad case.Take it off and it never happens so I enabled the double tap to shut the screen down.
