The other day my infuse's power button started dying, apparently i have bad luck with samsung buttons as my captivate's power button broke on me too. It started out just randomly lighting up as if it were touched, then moved on to rebooting, and now it just continuously plays the samsung logo over and over again, even when trying to go into recovery mode. Even with the plastic phone shell off, the problem persisted, so the plastic power button itself i know is not the issue.
I'm wondering if anyone knows of any possible way to render the power button useless, and remap one of the volume keys or something as the power key instead.
Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated, I really don't want to have to pay samsung to repair it.
There's an app called button remapper or something along those lines. But I believe it will kill any other function that the volume button does, like volume control. If you don't use it for that purpose, then try it out.

I dropped my NS the other day and now the power button has became very finicky. I've read about others with power button problems but from the issues I'm experiencing I think the problem might be software related and not caused by dropping it.
When the screen is off, hitting the power button always turns the screen back on but sometimes brings up the power menu
When the screen is on, press and long pressing the power button doesn't do anything
When the phone is off, pressing the power button turns the phone on, and I can get to the bootloader using the power + volume up
The power button issues I'm having only seem to happen when the screen is on, otherwise the power button works like it should. I've clean installed my rom twice but the porblem stays the same.

Hardware.
It will probably fail on you completely eventually.
Hi,
Since 1 month my Nexus 5 has a weird bug : when I hit the power button, it seems to be activated twice or more, the screen shows "screen on / screen off". So when I want to screen on my phone, it's immediately followed by a screen off, and when I want to screen off it, it screen on.
More embarrassing, the power button seems to remain pressed sometimes and induces random reboots or power off my phone.
I suppose it's a physical problem with the power button which may got dust inside his mecanism. So I wonder if anyone of you have an idea to fix it. Maybe by opening the phone and scratch it with a smooth brush it can be cleaned ?
Thank you in advance for your help....
Hey,
When I try to unlock my phone with the power button, the capacity buttons light up and the screen also seems to light up but it is just black. The touchscreen is still working because I am able to restart the phone (by holding the power button and swiping down and then holding the power button).
The weird thing is that the phone just displays everything correctly if I power it on, but once I lock it, it all goes wrong.
Is there any way I can fix this problem? Thank you in advance!
Hi Ive had the Galaxy S8 about slightly more than a week, and Im facing this recurring issue whereby the pressure-sensitive home button starts to take light taps as heavy presses, and on some occasions when i turn off the screen, it turns on by itself thinking that I made a hard press. I can feel it as the vibration motors are activated. I tested it using *#0*#, but it works perfectly fine there. Anyone else facing these issues? Can anyone tell me if this is a hardware fault or software?
I've just witnessed it turned phone off and back on and back to normal now had over a week only known this happen once about an hour ago
Never seen it turn on my accident, but it does glitch out sometimes. At times it can register a touch as a hard-press, and it does the double vibration every time I touch the home button. This is fixed with a screen off - screen on switch though, so not a problem for me, and I haven't experienced it after the new update
Got myself the S8 secondhand and while it looks immaculate, I also have this problem. At times the pressure sensitivity doesn't work at all, sometimes it will go through periods of immediately pressing and depressing, and sometimes it'll register a soft press of the home button as a hard press.
Think this is a hardware error? I've tried this in Ultra Power Saving mode and without my case on, and it's always repeatable.

I'm having the double vibration when I hard press the home button problem. It's a hardware problem? And how to fix it? I didn't understand the screen off - screen on switch solution

Double vibration? Isn't that what is meant to happen? The first vibration when pressing down simulates a real physical button being pushed down, and the second vibration when lifting your finger simulates you releasing the physical button. It's meant to happen, and it's not a hardware or a software problem.
What I meant with screen off - screen on solution is simply turning the screen off, and turning it back on again. It fixes a problem that occurs to me at times, where the double vibration happens every time I tap the virtual home button. Normally it's only meant to happen when pressing the virtual home button forcefully, not on light taps where no pressure is applied.
If the phone is in standby, with display turned off, if you double press the home button, or you keep it pressed, the phone will get back to phone mode with emergency call only. How to disable that damned festure? ?
