The button dosnt work it seems to click normal and I did not drop it or anything else to make it stop working right. So my question is: does it have anything to do with the rom im running (cm7 nightly 179) or is there anyway to make another button take over the action of screen off/on?

You can set the volume rocker for screen on and you can have a widget to power off
Rocker on is in cyanogen settings

Thanks I found the volume key setting does the widget use memory?

prob does if you get it since it is a widget but im sure its not alot
well volume on widget off is working but it is incredibly annoying to not have a power button. has this happened to anyone or is there any write up on fixing a button? or any solution for my button?
thanks!
I had the same issue. Used the app in this thread to remap the power button to volume keys. Then changed the power button in the app to "focus" to disable it. This app modifies the build.prop file so you only have to do this once or after each rom flash.

Have same problem, it really pisses me off. One day it works fine, the next day, nothing changes and it doesn't work at all. The button clicks fine, it has a case and has been well taken care of, and still for some reason the most important button breaks.
If anyone has had the same problem and found a remedy please let us know.

Remap the button.
I think you should find a way back to stock and test it. I had a bad power button and regardless of the rom they do fail. Get it back to stock, and if you can do a warrenty claim

I am surprised by how many Captivates have this problem. Once it fails with your phone off, you may never be able to get it to turn on !!!
I had cognition 4.5 installed and i was at work sending a text where all of a sudden my sister screen shut off and I heard the locking click sound. I hit the power button and it was locked. I unlocked it and it did it again. And it got worse and worse till the power button stopped functioning altogether. Getting back to stock was a pain as to get into download mode typically requires holding power, after hours of googling someone on these forums suggested using adb and a gui. I was able to reboot into download and use hemdale to get back to stock, and i was off to an AT & T warrenty exchange center to get a new phone. It seems to be a common problem amongst all android phones, as I have a friend who used to have a droid incredible, and upgraded to a droid bionic because his power button died.

you don't need a power button at all to get into download mode. or adb, or gui.
The power button is replaceable on the board if you are highly skilled with removal and re installation (it's soldered in place).
If you have questions about replacing it...PM me.
My power button acts kinda flakey at times, but then works fine for a long time.
My power button is all good now, been using this cappy since October, rooted, cyanogenmod 7.1, it's like a new phone. But I'm about 2 weeks away from the 90 day refurbished warrenty running out, hope nothing breaks on it again

Hey all, i don't know if there's already a thread about this but i did a quick search and didn't really find one about my problem.
Anyways, my girlfriend has a mytouch 4g slide and it keeps freezing on her. If she's in a call, she can stay in the call but won't be able to hang up or use the screen in any way until a restart. She is completely stock. This is the second mytouch for her with the same problem. Any ideas as to why this is happening?

Well when I was stock, I never had any problems like this. I have heard about people having screen freezes with regards to the call screen, however. It could easily be one of the apps that she downloaded. It might be worth it to try a factory reset if the problem is persistent. Not to mention that sounds like a pretty annoying issue.
Yeah, we tried a factory reset before and it didn't work.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA
Huh, I talked to her more about this issue and it seems that it only freezes during a call. She didn't realize it until I asked her specifically about it. So any way to fix this issue.

If a factory reset doesn't solve your problem, you have two options:
Root and install a custom rom (could be a stock rom problem, even though it shouldn't be)
Get it replaced under warranty
is the device completely frozen, or can she get the screen to turn on by pressing the trackpad or something? come to think of it, the sensor doesn't seem to work perfectly on my device, so sometimes when i want to hang up a call, i need to press the trackpad to get the screen to turn on. i have never had the device become totally unresponsive tho.
Well, she says the screen is on but nothing happens when she taps it. The only way so far to get her phone to work again is a battery pull.
This is already a warranty replaced phone for the same problem. I would root her phone, but she is in San Francisco and I'm not. She is also not very tech savvy so she can't do it herself.

Have her try using GO! Dailer/Contacts. I know this issue is based within the Call Out screen. But try using GO! It can also an out of Ram issue. On stock, the more widgets you use. The worse the phone gets. You'll see that HTC Logo all the time. My Uncle has this phone, and he's 100% stock. He gets freezes, and the HTC Logo screen after every app. Since the phone has the highest priority in a call, in can be using to much RAM. Then the phones doing a Rosie reboot with out the HTC scrreen.
If she wants to. Install Zeam Launcher. She won't have any Sense widgets. But it'll free up about 120Mb of Ram. Then place the call, and see if it lags.

After a warranty replacement for my old phone, I haven't had time to fight rooting and have been experiencing similar issues... Memory mgmt seems to be cause. Ive removed some apps and it has reduced issues.
On initial use of phone, I reset it, inserted a full battery and followed the general "let it set" rules for a fresh rom install. At first, all was great, everything worked perfect. But as I added apps, it grew less stable. Also seeing phone freeze when rebooting into recovery... Eek. Tried multiple sd cards, batteries, to no avail.
Gonna call for another replacement. Ugh. Wrty is up in a couple months...

I've had a couple of freezes happen to me during phone calls and I realize what the problem was. It was apps automatically downloading in the background from the Play Store. If an auto update for apps is happening and I receive a phone call at the same time my phone will become unresponsive for a few minutes.

So this GO! Dialer, would it help with the freezing issue? I don't see how using another app would help with the memory issue. Does Zeam Launcher require root?
Hey fellas, so I've been using JellyBean 4.2.1 Unofficial CM10.1 rom now, for about a month- Went from a stock- unrooted to the JB Unofficial CM 10.1, and everything has worked like a charm.... but then last night I was using my Infuse when all of a sudden the bottom row of keys wouldn't respond. At first I had thought that the phone had frozen because I hit the Home key and it wouldn't budge. Then I realized the screen still responded, so it didnt freeze. So what I did was go ahead and reboot it, but still the keys wouldn't work, If I pressed them though, they would flicker, so they still seem to have a response, but they neither vibrate nor do the function they're supposed to do. So then I plugged the phone up to charge it for a about 2 hrs, when I realized they were working again. In the morning, just to make sure the problem wouldn't happen again I went into Recovery and wiped Cache and Delvic Cache... as the morning progressed the phone once again lost its bottom row keys function, so I removed the battery for a couple of minutes then booted the phone up. The keys were once again up and running as usual. But after more phone interactions came through, I lost again the use of the botton keys. So I did the battery trick about 2 more times to get the keys to work, then in the afternoon, removing the battery no longer had any effect on the hardware keys. So since I had the 12-19 rom update, I went ahead and Installed this year's new rom, the 1-14-13 Rom, doing the data, cache, system and delvic wipes, and hopefully rebooted to find the the keys still remain ineffective... I have now searched quite a bit to find nothing to help me, guys, and I'm honestly uneasy right about now, because I'm afraid my beautiful phone is now messed up forever. Can anyone PLEASE help me by any means, to resolve the issue? Thanks!
I have flashed it back to complete stock, and nothing happens!! the softkeys just turn on when I swipe my finger and flicker once when I press on an specific button. So going back to JB CM 10.1 and getting onscreen menu buttons meanwhile :S
The only thing I can thank of is that you or the ROM may have disabled your hardware keys. Have you tried disabling them and then re-enabling them?

Actually tried like 4 different roms, so that actually couldnt be the problem, it seems I have now 3 days of having my softkeys back... and didnt do a thing to get them, im guessing my phone was messed up...
In any case i found a great app called button savior which are onscreen buttons which is pretty good, but yea mustve been a phone issue, but apparently its fixed for the tome being, hope it never happens again... but thanks for your answer!
Well I'm glad I could help and I hope your keys stay working

That actually happened to me long time ago. But whenever it happens, I just turn the screen off and on. It fixed for me.

So my Blaze is having some catastrophic problems. It started out the other day by turning off and then vibrating like crazy in my pocket in the same way it would of you were holding the power key down, and it wouldn't stop. I pulled the battery, replaced it and it immediately started vibrating and wouldn't stop as if the power button were stuck in.
Long story short I took my phone apart and removed the plastic button and can get it to boot and stay on for a while. It still craps out sometimes, but I've had it on for a couple hours now with out the plastic part of the power button. I can still hit the button with a pen, BUT here lies my problem...
If I so much as look at the power button funny, it decides that it wants to get stuck down and won't go back up. The actual moving part doesn't get stuck, I think it's electrical.
So if anyone has any clever ideas on how to fix this, I won't have the money for a new phone for a couple weeks and it will make my life very happy to be able to make this one usable
It works sort of if I never have to press the power key, and I remember using a ROM that had the volume locker wake option, but for the life of me I can't remember which one it is. So if someone could help me out there too, that'd be great

Gosh I'm kinda flash crazy, I believe I was on the most recent version of Paranoid Android with whatever version of LZ Kernel comes with it. I originally thought it may be a ROM / Kernel issue so I flashed CM10, and it was still broken.
I don't actually think my problem is a software (ROM or kernel) problem. If it's stuck resetting and I pull and replace the battery, it starts to boot without me touching the button. That means the problem is occurring before any of the software even loads.
I'm pretty certain it's a problem with the button. If I so much as touch it, it acts like it's stuck depressed. I think it may also be heat related, so maybe the ROM or kernel may have caused some overhearing that damages the hardware, but I don't know. It was definitely super hot when it first started.
Hope that helps you!
And if any devs or anyone has any idea about this.. That'd be great

Hey y'all,
I have an Optimus f3 and I am having some issues with the notification bar flickering as if it was being pulled down rapidly. I have searched countless places (mainly Google) and I have come up with nothing on anything even remotely close to my problem.
Thanks in advance if you can help
Sent from my SGH-M919 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I'm having a problem that isn't quite similar, but may prove relevant. Also on a f3.
My notification bar completely disappeared, and and has reappeared for around four to six hours at a time once now, for no apparent reason. Some other things. 1. Wallpaper switches between my selected and stock/default.
2. com.android.systemui stopped a few times.
3. Can't access recent apps via long press of home hardware button.
4. Sporadic notification, sometimes they work, others not. However, system ones like low battery never do.
5. Is factory resistant.
I hope maybe these issues could help with yours.

If you're still having this problem, you could try following the unbrick guide (flashing LG's ROM in emergency mode). You may want to install recovery and wipe what you can first to fully clear out as much as possible, as the unbrick method doesn't actually wipe your user data (which may be part of the problem).
