My power button doesn't have the feedback anymore when pressing down like it does normally. Sometimes I have to press it again to have it actually work.
Has anybody ever replaced the power button? Is there soldering involved?

I have an HTC FUZE and I dropped it in a puddle of water and now the power button is constantly activated even though I am not touching the button. The button still clicks fine but again, the power button is always active. I cannot manually put my phone to sleep, nor can I turn it off using the power button.
My question is, could I remap the power button (long and short) to another button say the PPT button?
thanks
help anyone?
I had a similar problem with my first Fuze and had to get a refurbished replacement from AT&T. In my case the sticking power button caused constant rebooting of the phone. Probably not what you wanted to hear, but I was unable to do anything to unstick the button.
if the power button is just nt working, you can still put your phone to sleep with third paty softwares like psShutXp. But I don't think it is possible to remap it to a different hardware key afaik.

Hello!
The button of Volume UP of my B68M phine works up to 50%, i.e. :
If I press it once brings to Homescreen and if instead I do a long press the button works fine (the volume goes to max.).
There is no doubt that the button itself is not faulty (it would not go home).
Then I did a remap keys, exchanging the Camera button with Volume UP button.
For the remapping I modified the files .kl in \system\usr\keylayout
In this way the Volume works 100% BUT.....if I press the volume button, the camera is not activated and the phone brings to HomeScreen again.
It seems that the Volume UP button is connected permanently to HomeScreen.
Problem of electrical ground or ROM ?
Can someone help me ?
Thanks in advance

hi friends:
i have an old infuse 4g which has the known power button issue so i remapped the volume_up button as power and power button as volume.
the remapping is working fine and i can see that the volume up button works like power and power button works like volume_up.
but sometimes it still power-off my phone when i touch or press power-button. during this time, i dont see an option to poweroff or reboot but the screen becomes black and i see samsung logo, basically its like somebody pulled the plug.
can somebody explain why is this?
many thanks in advance
It's a simple general question how does the power button work I can't imagine it
I only can imagine power switches
but how does any device respond to the power button that turns on your phone while the same long press can open the power menu and not shut it down
Or lock your phone

Physically, pressing the power button closes a circuit. While the button is pressed, electricity flows. When not pressed, there is no circuit. The software/firmware interprets between a short press (screen on/off) and a long press (device power on, power menu, etc) and performs the appropriate action. Same with the volume and other physical buttons for stuff like hard reboots, screenshots, etc.

The power button on my Z3 is practicaully dead. If the phone turns off it takes a good 10 minutes of trying to get the power button to work. Is there a way i can remap it so i can turn it on from completely off using another button? Or is there some trick I can do with a USB cable to force it to boot? Thanks
