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?

Ok, the story is, my phone goes to sleep every 30 secs to save battery. And since I'm still very excited about it, I turn it on quite often, just to check . And the only way to turn on from sleep (as far as I know) is pressing the power button. Well, that means that button will be pressed a lot! I'm just worrying that it will soon have problems. It would be much cooler if we can touch some Android button down there, Home button for example, to turn on the phone. Do you know anyway to do that?
PS: I tried to google as well as search through out this forum, but the keywords are pretty common, so it's really hard though.
I wouldn't want the capacitive buttons activating my phone, think of all the butt-dialing
I think Widget Locker allows for any hardware button to wake up the device, so then you'd be able to distribute the fun between your volume rocker and the power button.
Widget locker does allow the use of the volume rocker to wake up the phone.
a short term fix or you might be to got o settings-->Applications-->Development-->Stay awake....
so as long as you are charging the screen will not sleep. dont forget to change the setting back if you walk away for a bit... or go to bed
Thanks guy. I think the volume button is good enough

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
thanks rumur, i going to give widget locker a try.
i hate it must reach for power button to wakeup!
i like "Simply Lockscreen", it also turns on cappy with volume buttons.
give it a try
On a similar note, do you all have any app tips that will allow me to do something special with the volume button while the screen is off (maybe long press or double click, or press both volume buttons at once) that will in turn toggle silent/vibrate on and off?
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?

I make CyanogenMod 10 for my device. Official firmware - android 4.1.1. I have serious problems with the processing of pressing the power button and volume buttons.
When I press the power button, the phone starts to behave inappropriately. It appears when i try to unlock: not always the first time gets unlocked, you need a short press that the attempt was successful. And if you say I want to call the power menu, long clamp the power button and the phone will vibrate like crazy and there is a bunch of copies of windows power menu, you press back - phone go to the bootanimation ...
By the way with the volume button a similar situation! As is well known in the CyanogenMod is feature - volume buttons scroll through tracks. So if I clamp rocker to scroll through the forward / backward, flipping loops and skipped about 5-6 tracks!
In what could be the problem?
Surely someone had anything like that.
Sorry for my bad english)
Taking screenshots on this phone is tedious. You either 1) have to swipe with your palm or 2) press and hold the home button and power button, which has proven to be highly prone to error. If you mis-time it, you'll trigger the Home button.
On my Nexus 5, it's easy, you just do volume down + power.
How can I make this happen on the Galaxy S6?
Already drives me crazy. About 10% of all times when I tried to simply lock or unlock phone (without double press for camera) — camera launches with long vibration. Appeared about a week ago. Stock Android 6.0.1, latest camera app.
Derped power button. Use volume button to unlock or go to service center to get it fixed.
P.S Have the same problem. I use volume button
Remember iPhone 4 and update who enabled multitasking double pressing home button. That update made some home buttons to die faster, cuz they werent made for fast double tap.
Same for Nexus 5. This will kill your power button fast. Mine is dead too. Using dt2w and a navbar button to goto sleep.
Stop using that feature, it kill power button.
