Hello there.
My LG P500 has a problem with the power button. It works defectively with the screen on/off but it almost doesn't work to turn on the device if the device is turned off. To turn the phone on I need to connect to the computer and only after some time am I capable of turning the phone on (really powering on, not just waking the screen). The phone it out of the warranty. My question is: using a button remapper app, can I turn the device on with another button (like home button or search button)? If so, what app do you recommend?
yup

if you power off the phone (not the screen, the really power on) you can power on the phone only with the power on button, it's a mechanical switch, there are no software mods for it
about that we can't do nothing.
if you power off the screen, should use this mod
in every rom to invert the buttons and with search button you can power on the screen
if you are intrested to save battery by night
the device power off = the aero mode on+screen off (you lose 1-2% of battery by night )

Hi everybody! Im new here and maybe my english is bad (sorry for that) but i have big problem!
I have HOXL (at&t) with twrp recovery and i flash Cleanrom v preview build BUT i forget to do factory reset before that.Now my phone is stuck on the boot animation and i can't do anything,even i can't connect with usb cable with my computer(led is not lightening)
Can somebody tell me how can i go into the bootloader or anything that can fix this problem?
Just hold the power button until the phone resets. Let off the power button for half a second then press it again and hold it and also hold vol (-) until you get into bootloader. From there select recovery.
Remember, no matter what if your phone is powered on, pressing and holding power WILL reset the phone. Its a hardware feature to simulate a bettery pull.
tnx

Ok so i had the bootloop problem with my Infuse , i fixed it by opening my phone and playing with the power button hardware.
I accidently broke the power button , I looked for hours for a way to turn on my phone with out a power button with no success until i found tried this:
TUTORIAL STARTS HERE
1. Enter Download mode by holding both volume rockers and inserting a USB cable while still holding
2. Get to the screen that asks you if continue with Download Mode or not.
3. Remove USB cable and click the 2nd option.
4. Phone will restart and that's how you turn on a phone with no power button.
Hope it helped some people.
you can also try a re-map.

I think only Samsung uses "Download Mode". LG probably has Fastboot like most other Android devices (Vol-Dn + Pwr). But you can try it - it won't hurt.
EDIT: Finally got an LG device. It does indeed have Download mode (and no Fastboot...Vol-Dn+Pwr brings me to a scaled back bootloader). Don't know if if asks to continue or not, but Download Mode doesn't hurt the phone unless you are potentially flashing software with it.
iTs working!! on Motorola Razr xt910
Android 2.2 and is working! After the phone turn on I was downloaded the app pwr bottom to volume key! And that is all okkk!
But take care after press (down and up) if you press up Inside tthe download mode this mean select! And on my first time I have take the recovery mode! xD
Good loooook!

Download Mode should work the same across all Samsung models. So, probably...

Hello mate!!! Thanks for the post but i have problems here. First of all my phone (Galaxy Wonder) goes into download mode by pressing volume down + home btn + power button, so i though instead of the volume rockets i had to press volume down + power button and then usb cable. It worked. Got into download mode!!! Then i remove the cable, wait a few seconds and then press down to cancel and restart. Then it happens that the screen shows a grey battery, then it fades out and back in for twice. Then the phone just turns off. Battery is charged! What could be the problem? (I have to say i just completely removed the power button from the motherboard, but keeping the metal things that were around it still soldered on the motherboards.
Any guess???
Thanks a lot
LG mytouch e739
My mytouch just goes into s/w upgrade and stays there forever.

Great... that helped.
I can't choose because my power button is off
My LG G2's power button and volume rockers appear to have stopped working. My phone is off and USB debugging is off. Is there any way I can power my phone on? Thanks!

The problem is that my phone is off! And I can't turn it on without using the power button it seems.
Is it the button itself that is broken or the functionality of the electronics? I once had to replace the physical button after the guts had fallen out of it. Got to the last step of rooting my phone, went to press that rocker button and ...nothing. I always used the virtual, on screen button for photos, so I never even realized that it was dead. They can usually find them somewhere online

I think it is the electronics because at one point my power button/volume buttons were randomly getting pressed without my input. But, I really don't know for sure.

All phones have a recovery mode which can be accessed by pressing volume up or down (only one) while inserting the USB cable. This powers on the phone for download mode allowing you to restore software.
As mentioned best method is to repair the faulty button but I would try restoring STOCK image/rom first.
Possible solution
Hope that this trick could help someone.
Situation:
- broken power button
- lg g2 off
- WORKING volume button
After lots of tries to power on that damned phone something happens:
1) Charge g2 until 100%.
2) Hold both volume button (UP AND DOWN) and insert power supply
3) be ready to disconnect the power supply immediatly when the lg logo appears
4) disconnect charger (Screen will goes off) keep holding volume button
5) reinsert power supply and when screen goes on release and rehold again both volume button.
And... Magically lg g2 starts!
I really don't know why this procedure works but i currently use this trick to power on the device when accidentally my lg goes to 0% -.-'
Some advice:
Before doing all this combination i've tried holding both volume button when the device was off.. For some reason the red led (charging color) flashed five times then this trick works. Don't know if was just a coincidence. But triying can't do any damage!
So... HOLD FOR MORE TIME YOU CAN THOSE ****** BUTTON.
And pray.
Hope that this will help someone

this worked for me. although I found that I did not have to reinsert the power supply nor did I have to rehold both volume buttons again at the end.
so 5) when screen comes on, release the two volume buttons.
Install Volume unlock, it'll make your volume button unlock the screen

Use ADB Commands to first connect your phone with your pc using a terminal and then use some other adb commands to power it on.
Google for some ADB commands.
Hit thanks
Lg g2 D802 here, non-responding power button. I power on my Phone just by plugging in the power cable and pulling it out when the logo appears. Nothing else. Screen on/off by knock-on funktion.

It souds like witchcraft but it works!
My power button is not working properly
For example if the screen is off and I press the power button it comes on then goes of again in a second !
I want to know can i root my phone properly ? As i recall reading, you have to select options using the power button while rooting your phone ! What if the damn thing selects a wrong option and i loose me phone ?
buddy, you need to fix that thing is not that hard, since the only way to be in download mode is to use the hard buttons, or using an app, and these apps need root, so that's not what you need, i suggest to fix that button
hello guys,
my galaxy a7 2018 turned off and the power button is broken, someone has an idea how to turn it on without the power button?
you can get in the download mode holding both volume buttons and then plug the usbe alredy plugged in the pc . now cancel pressing down button and it restart your phone
eriktar you safe my life, i love u
thanks eriktar, i was also worried about my phone bcz its button was not working, but this trick save my day
