If I add the widget button labeled "go to sleep", does this so anything different than just simply turning the screen off the regular way?

I don't believe so, pressing the power button is considered putting the phone to sleep, so that widget probably does the same thing. It's useful if your button is broken or going to break and you don't want to press the power button to put it to sleep.
Ok, that's what I figured. Thanks for the feedback

is there any way to wake my phone screen up when locked using the menu button? or home button? or search etc. im so tired of pressing the power button just to wake my screen up sometimes its just so irritating.. ive tried using widgetlocker and the easywake mode that allows volume buttons wake up still feels uncomfortable to me..

I'm not sure how I feel about this one. The power button makes sense because it is a physical button. Its really easy to accidentally turn the phone on by hitting they led keys. would kill the battery fast. But I'll look into it once I get a chance. Work is killing me right now.

Jut recently I am having this problem. Whenever I am in an app or on the home screen if I hit the home button it takes a picture of the screen. I can't get out of it unless I hit the power button to turn the screen off. Now I don't know if this might be a problem with the power button sticking because I haven't noticed it doing so. If anyone has any insight into this that would be great!
Thanks.
The issue is with your power button. To take a screenshot you have to hold down Power + Home buttons. But the power button on this device has issues and sometimes registers as being pressed when it's not, that's why it's taking a screenshot when you hit home. If you have root, try disabling the screenshot function or flashing another rom like CM7.
wow sorry i dont have this problem
There is fix for it under the General section here on XDA that requires some super glue and a steady hand. The power button basically sags after awhile, kinda sucks for such a high end device.

You may need to reboot it.
Hello guys, I just want to know is there any way through which I can increase the sensitivity of the power button? My phone is now one year old and I've found that the power button is very annoying. If any new person happens to use my phone, he is to be taught to apply a bit more force to the power button to lock the phone.
Also, long press is difficult! It's very difficult to take screenshots (with CM ROM that has power button screen shot option).
When I long press to take a screenshot, after releasing the button, the phone sleeps and gets locked. It happens several times and to take one screenshot I have to face it almost five times. I think it is because of dust that gets collected below the plastic button, is there any suggestion from you that can make my finger's life easy??? :banghead:
Uhh, and do not suggest opening the phone body and clean it!!!

Same problem. Isn't much you can do with the power button. It's mechanical so to fix the actual button you would have to open up the phone and fiddle in there. (don't try this if you don't know what you're doing)
I, for one, am using this mod. It works on the rom level, not the phone itself so it needs to be flashed every time you install a new rom (even when it's the same one but different version) and it won't work when the phone is completely shut down, you still have to use the power button.
Oh yeah! I knew that mod but forgot!
Well then, for now I use a screen locking widget... but still to unlock power button is required...
Will have to stay with it only.. :banghead:

Oh, and yeah, that same widget allows to lock the phone by long pressing search button.

Can't you just press any other button, like menu or the back key, and slide to unlock?
same problem with volume keys also

Yes I know I can, but sometimes just to see notifications or time, I don't take out the phone from the cover, only its head...
The buttons all light up but don't work at all. I have the phone all disassembled but dont know which connector it is? Can someone please help me so I can see if its connected right.
OR How about mapping the BACK function to the camera button? I can deal with that lol i'm running cyanogen mod 9
Maybe like, have it be half press on camera is home, hard press is back? And hold is menu?

If you have it torn apart the cable connecting those buttons should be obvious
But if you don't want to replace it and are willing to remap then there are apps in the play store that can add soft buttons to homescreens

Yup I figured it out and almost did it exactly like that before reading this lol.. used the volume down button as back though since its easier to reach. Thanks
Running skyfall and faux kernel. Everything was fine until installed this app. Went to reboot as requested then nothing. Powered off. Will not turn on at all. Can't boot into the boot screen. Power cable doesn't so anything,...uh I'm confused. Please help
Hold down your power button for over thirty seconds and report back. I couldn't turn on my phone once, but after holding down the power button for ages, it eventually booted.

That didn't do the trick but adb got it to come to life. I was freaking out
The power button and up on volume key does the trick.

Thanks. I'll learn htc's tricks soon enough. Said in another post, every mfg is different. I wouldve been looking for Odin on my galaxy thanks for the heads up.
