Has anyone successfully modded their power button to take pictures or start the camera in movie/film mode specifically on the ATT Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket?
Could you provide links to steps that worked for you?
I've scoured threads on other phones but haven't come across one that would apply to the SR.
TIA!

hello, I have an HTC inspire 4g on art network. the volume up button will work for a few days and then stop working. I will have to go into the settings to turn the volume up. I have had this prob as long as I can remember. I have tried even flashing a custom Rom and the vol button worked for a few days and now back to not working again. was wondering if any one else has had thus same problem or not. thinking about flashing back to stock Rom and locking it back and going threw HTC to maybe get it fixed but that is last resort. any insight to this problem would be great.

Volume rockers seem to be kinda delicate. Many people in this forums have experienced that. If you still can take it for service do it. No volume rocker might be an important issue with a rooted phone.

I know there are tons of complaints about the Inspire/Desire's volume rocker, but through all my searching I've only found a couple of people with my problem, and no solutions.
When I press my volume up button, it clicks, but nothing happens. It started with CM7 and I have since changed ROMs (specifically LorD ClockaN's ICS ROM that shows a volume slider when you put the volume down ) so I know that isn't the problem. Pretty sure it's hardware related. The furthest I've opened this thing up is taking the volume rocker off, so I don't know if there are any internal problems or what to look for. The little nubs on the buttons are still there and there is a satisfying click sound when I press up or down.
I've seen a lot of mention of "flex cables" but I can't find anything that really tells you what that is.
What can I do to fix this? I'd love to not be restricted to one ROM AND it's really annoying that I can't flash radios or anything without using fastboot since you have to press up to confirm. :/

You could flash 4EXT Touch Recovery. Touch recovery is nice. You just may have to flash/push it using adb.
Are you still under warranty? I've heard some people have issues before with the volume rocker, but very few. Wish I could help ya there.

it can be fixed but you have to replace the entire button assembly, should be able to find the part on google (i dont know the part number) and there are plenty of tutorials. Personally i would try the warranty route first as a lot of things can get damaged if repaired incorrectly or if you are not experienced in this.
Called HTC and they said I have 4 days left on my warranty and that it would take 2 to 3 weeks to get my phone back. Holy crap. I can't even imagine a day without my phone.
I've done some searching and I've seen some rooted options for waking up the international HTC one X without using the power button, but I was wondering if there were any available for the AT&T version?? I've seen some different apps in the app store that attempt to wake up the phone without using the power button, but I haven't had too much success with them. Any help would be appreciated.

Viper and a few other roms allow this HOWEVER it does not work once the phone goes into deep sleep. For example, I can turn my screen off, and turn it on again about 30-60 with the volume keys but much longer than that and it won't work. It's going to be this way until (if/when) kernel source is released.
I was given a brand new s3 that came without a power button... I'm not trying to FRU it out since it's brand new. I've found replacement power buttons all over the net but none listed for the Verizon version of the phone. Does anyone know it a s3 sprint power button will work on the Verizon s3?
I believe that the S3 is the same no matter what carrier it's on. Can someone back this up?

Your phone is still under warranty with Samsung. Just contact them directly and they'll fix it for free. Manufacturers warranty is 12 months.

I didn't pay for the phone and don't want to deal with shipping it back to Samsung and waiting for it... the wife needs a phone now. I'm going to order a power button and I'll post my findings.
Thanks for the help.

There's another thread here on basically the same topic. I had a power button fall off my first VZW GS3, and the 2nd one decided it would start booting every once in a while after less than a month - unfortunately after a few more days "every once in a while" became every five to ten minutes. Enter CLN #2 (my 3rd total), which arrived with the power button missing (I found it in the bottom of the box). Before I could get it going the volume rocker fell off in my hands, so I made a call to VZW business tech support and convinced them to ship me another new unit.
This one seems to be working just fine, but of course - I keep those buttons captive using an Otterbox "Commuter" series case, now. When I first bought the phone those cases weren't shipping yet, and it took them about 6 weeks to get the pretty "Sky Blue" one ready, so I was using the stock Verizon case/holster - and it tended to push on the power button and volume rocker any time you needed to do a battery pull.
Hey all..
I have a problem. My power button has stopped working at all on my Verizon S3. Earlier this week, it was being very finicky, eg it would randomly be registering clicks when it wasn't being pressed. Now, however, it isn't responding whatsoever.
Obviously I'm terrified to shut down the device, but before I make a warranty claim I'll need to do an ODIN restore to stock (I am currently running CyanogenMod 10.2). How can I do this without having to use the power button at some point?
Thanks in advance!

Mobile Odin would work. You might not be able to verify it worked after the install though.
Search for topics in this section, there's a lot of topics on this already and good suggestions on it.
