I was having the same problem as my Power button was broken and I really wanted to restart my phone after regular intervals to get it's performance balanced.
I searched many websites and downloaded many applications to get rid of this problem. It took me long but I finally succeeded in the end.
Here is the simple step you need to follow to get a virtual power button without your phone getting rooted.
1 - Open Playstore
2- Download an Application “ Assistive Touch”
3- Go the settings of the application and click “Lay out”
4- Click on the + button which you can find on the screen easily
5- Add power button from the list of icons you want to add
6- It will ask for a permission, to add Assistive Touch in your services of your Accessibility.
Done. Now you have the Power button Options in your Assistive touch button and you can restart or power off your Android device by simply tapping it.

Manufacturers make sure to use the finest quality of robust material in order to ensure that you get a smartphone that stays with you for a long time. However, at times due to certain accidents or mishaps there are high chances that a certain part of your smartphone can deteriorate if proper care and protection is not given.
In the same manner the power button can deteriorate due to a mishap. But what to do if your power button is broken, how to switch on your smartphone before giving it to the repair person?
Switch On Your Smartphone With Broken Power Button Using These 4 Amazing Tricks!
Below are some techniques that you can try on your smartphone to switch it on without using the power button.
Technique 1: Use Physical Objects to Press the Keys
In case your power button is missing then you can consider putting any thin physical object like a toothpick or hair pin to press the power key. Keep pressing it till your device turns on.
Technique 2: Connect Your Phone to Charger or PC
This technique is applicable to a very few devices but it is worth trying. Connect your smartphone to PC using an authentic USB cable. The phone will start charging as well as it will switch on.
Technique 3: Press Volume and Home Button
If your device is an old one which consists of a physical Home button then you can try to switch on your device by pressing volume keys + Home key.
To follow this technique first press both the Volume Keys of up and down. Connect your smartphone to PC using an authentic USB cable. Next, while still holding down both the volume keys, and with the device connected to USB, hold down the Home button. Wait for a few minutes for the menu to appear. Once the menu appears, release all buttons. If you had rooted your device previously then get ready to get loads of warnings and commands on your screen. Simply use your volume keys to go through the options. Find and select the option of restart or switch on the device using the home button. And your device will switch on.
Technique 4: Press Volume Keys
If you have the latest smartphone which does not consist of a physical Home button then simply use your volume keys.
Hold down the volume down key and connect your phone via USB cable to your PC. Keep the volume button held down until you see a boot menu. Select the ‘Start’ option using your volume keys, and your phone will power on.
I hope my answer helps you in switching on your device with a broken power button.

How can I reset my touch pro ??
THANKS!!!!!!!
The above is a HARD reset, which equates to restoring the device to defaults, so you will lose any software you installed and settings.
What are you trying to do? There's a HARD reset, which you have the procedure for or just a SOFT reset, which will just reboot the device...
I would like to set the device to defaults, but i can't reset it.
I don't know what's wrong of it?

allrighty...
go to setting
then to system
then there is an option 'erase content'
push this button and your content will be erased...so you will perform a hard reset!
I am so sorry that my device can't do anythings in the windows,
so i waould like to reset it.
ok, to do a HARD RESET..
press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button and the CENTER or ENTER button and with the stylus press and hold the reset button until a colorful screen appear..
and the device ask u if u want to hard reset, it will delete all bla bla bla then press the VOLUME UP button..
then the device screen appear rebooting the device..
and finally press VOLUME UP button again and thats all...!!
Oh my friend! I have told that i press all the keys i need , but there did not show delete all bla bla bla then press the VOLUME UP button..
Turn the device off.
Hold the Volume down and center button (d-pad).
While holding those two, push and HOLD the power button until you see the message that says to push the up volume to hard reset.

No, same was with mine Touch Pro (O2 XDA Diamond Pro). No Hard reset possible via button-method (or I was just not clever enough )
Only possibility is to do it like pensador wrote:

Do it like this Vincent, same result^^
the hard reset comination is keyed into every tp and will work as specified unless there is a hardware problem with any of the keys involved.
Just make sure u r not fat thumbing any of the keys.. if necessary use chopsticks to hold down the keys.
Aaaaaaaaaaaahhh now I got it!
The important thing is "[enter] buttons"! Damn manual...
Thx!
i think an important fact.. it was with my one.. turn the phone upside down...i found this on here:

I had a lot of trouble when trying to hard reset the touch pro. I have a fuze as well and never an issue. When I followed these instructions exactly the touch pro preformed a hard reset. Thanks for the help! I looked everywhere on ppcgeeks.
won't reset
I tried all of the above and still nothing. I'm fed up with this phone anyway and am seeking out the next "it" phone. I have never had as many problems with a phone ever. What ever happened to Nokia's hi end?

One last thing to try,
Press soft reset, then immediately after hold Volume down and OK (round button), this method is fool proof.
Silly question, I am sure but... Will a hard reset take me back to the original WM6.1 OS? I installed one ROM I found here, but wants to go back to "normal" 6.1 (don't ask why )
This might be useless but my phone goes through phrases where the power button does not work at all and when it's not working I cannot hard reset at all. This phone is just weird.

[PROJECT] Volume Control *Developers needed!*

Hey Guys,
last night, as i was lying on my bed, i heard music as everyday on my HD2.
I recognized that the "volume control" issue was very annoying, so i thought nearly 1 hour at my workstation before sleeping about an app which could be very useful.
And i got it:
Now this tiny App lets you do a long press on the not used place left and right (left=system and right=ringing volume) in the home tab, and a volume control appears. Then you just swipe your finger up or down for volume adjusting.

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is just a project, and not a ready app. It would be very nice if developers would help me in getting this finished. My programming skills are not very good, therefor i need someone who works with me.
I also thought about making this to an widget for CHT, but i think this will be too difficult at first, we should just make it easier for the alpha.
I also please you not to just "take my idea" and develop something to get fame or so.
If the implementation will be with graphics like images and so on, i also would like to take part in it by designing those over photoshop (as you can see in the preview, which was made by me in about 15 minutes).
So, i hope that there will be somebody who is interested in getting this project alive. Please tell me when you want to take part in this project (post in this thread or PM)
regards,
sallal

that you have to press the rocker switch to see the volume control and then swipe up and down... and finally press anywhere on the grey background to complete your volume adjustment

Congrats on your 100th post!
I don't really think this is a "problem": There is no big difference between what you're suggesting and the way it is working now - I would even say the opposite is true: Using the rockers is possible in all apps - so you can change the volume any time. But using the solution you suggest would only be possible on the home screen, right?
I'm sorry if I'm putting down your initiative...
You don't need to swipe up and down to increase/decrease the volume. You can press the button and keep pressing it.
You also don't have to press on the grey background. It will automatically return to where you left off after a few seconds.
@MAMeingast: yes, i think you're right.
@Ruudford: if i keep pressing it, it rushes too quickly in a direction and gets too loud/silent.

Don't keep the button pressed - press it once to make the volume dialog pop up and then press it again to move the volume up and down in increments!

lol you're right ... i now see that the first time ...
is there any way to reduce the amount of increments ? so that it jumps 1 bar and not 3 or so ?

Sadly, I don't think so. That is something I have requested myself (and many others have as well) but until now I don't know of any way to do that!
The only indirect solution I know is this. These registry tweaks will enable the small volume overlay (like the one you get when you press the volume rockers when on the Music tab instead of the big one covering the whole screen) and the small overlay uses smaller increments. I have made a cab with the registry keys for many apps. Try it and uninstall if you don't like it!

Please Help

I was trying to restore my phone back to stock 2.1 with odin. My phone shut off and now I cant get my computer to even recognize it is plugged in. The picture on the screen now is a phone and a computer with a yellow triangle between them. I'm in serious need of help.
Relax. Unplug phone and battery. Put batt back. Open odin 1 click. Hold both vol buttons and plug in usb to get to download screen. (Or vol down if you were on i9000 rom.)

No luck
I have tried that and I keep getting the same picture of a phone and a computer with a yellow triangle between them.
Keep trying. Took me about 10 tries.

No detection
Should the computer detect the phone? It never acts like it is detected. Were you seeing the same symbols on the screen?
if you havent try removing external sd card and sim card too. maybe voodoo but it might help.
How to enter download mode:
Method 1: (ADB - from recovery or normally booted with usb debugging on)
Open a cmd prompt/console/shell
adb shell
adb reboot download
Method 2: (KEY COMBO)
Remove the battery, sim card, sdcard if you have one
Insert the battery
Hold Volume Up + Volume Down + Power
Method 3: (KEY COMBO)
Remove the battery, sim card, sdcard if you have one
Insert the battery
Hold both Volume buttons (from i9000 just down, don't touch the power button)
Plug in the USB cable and continue holding both Volume buttons
copied from dg's one click odin page.
Still no go
I appriciate all the replies. I have tried all 3 methods so far but nothing helps. I'm begining to to think it is just beyond bricked. I will keep trying the key sequences. Method number is obviously out.

Here is the screen I'm seeing if this helps.
give the phone a few minutes to rest with battery out or just give it 10 minutes, then try again.
What rom did you have installed?
Have had that screen and worse. black screen with red letters at one time, it just took persistence. I even tried to return phone once but they didnt so I went back to the drawing board. usually the method of pulling battery, sim, and sd, then opening odin, then holding both up and down volume, while holding both vol buttons down, insert the usb. thats the only method i use. it eventually works
Solution Found
If you see this screen this is what to do to get into download mode. This worked and saved my bacon. Thanks to everyone who replied.
•Be sure the Samsung USB drivers for the phone are installed on your computer.
•Remove and replace the battery.
•Connect the phone to the computer with the USB cable. The "phone-exclamation mark-computer" picture should display on the phone's screen.
•Hold the Volume Up+Volume Down+Power buttons down simultaneously.The screen should go blank, then the picture should appear again. When the screen goes blank a second time, release the Power button while continuing to hold the Volume Up+Volume Down buttons down

Cool, I kinda remember doing that at some point. Good for you. Now go hack up that phone some more. LOL. If you get brave, try the ROM I am running.. 30 steps to load it.
edit: added your procedure to evernote so i can get to it when i need it.

[Q] SOLVED App or Mod for Power Button on to Soft Keys?

Guys I was just wondering if there's an App or Modification that can be done to use the Soft Keys like Search Button as an alternate Power Button or maybe just Wake Up/Sleep?
Well as far as I see unlock needs to be on hardware buttons only, but to turn off the screen and lock without using the power button you can use screen off and lock, it gives you a home widget and notification widget option that'll turn off the screen.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
I don't think the soft keys could work as they rely on the touchscreen which the screen needs to be on for. Soft keys for power is a bad idea anyway!
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
look at this video guys I think he manage to use the Search Function as Screen Lock/Sleep and as an alternate Power Button.
I can also do Screen Lock with Screen Off and Lock App, but not the Power Menu.

I want the same thing too. I wonder what did he do to his phone? an app or he mod it himself?
The soft keys are still a part of your touchscreen, pointer mode and opening the phone can tell you that. So of you want to use it to wake your phone, the whole touch screen must be activated....
It IS possible, but not battery friendly and not very easy in use.
Instead, why not use volume keys?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
Use this to TURN OFF the screen using the search key. Just follow the instructions.
Screen Off and Lock
Then this to TURN ON the screen using proximity sensor. (might not be battery friendly)
Tap Tap App
Confirmed both are working perfectly..
Screen off and lock is great but to turn phone on it can't be done, was hoping of application that can get the phone to switch on via volume rocker

I managed too.
I had a tip from this post: Push me
The point is to edit the *.kl file.
But first do a nand backup!!!
I edited the following files (don't now if all are needed, but i thought i take the ones who match to me/my language):
saga-keypad.kl
saga-keypad-wwe.kl
saga-keypad-ger.kl
qwerty.kl
The files are placed in folder /system/usr/keylayout/
Copy them to your pc and make a backup somewhere.
Open the file(s) with an editor and change key 217 SEARCH into key 217 POWER in every of the four files (maybe to edit saga-keypad.kl is enough -> try out and report).
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then copy those files in your computer to c:\
Connect your phone with usb cable to pc and boot into recovery. (Make sure adb is correctly installed!)
Open cmd and type in the following commands (after every line push return on pc/cmd):
adb shell
mount /system
exit
adb push c:\saga-keypad.kl /system/usr/keylayout/saga-keypad.kl
adb push c:\saga-keypad-wwe.kl /system/usr/keylayout/saga-keypad-wwe.kl
adb push c:\saga-keypad-ger.kl /system/usr/keylayout/saga-keypad-ger.kl
adb push c:\qwerty.kl /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl
adb shell reboot
After restarting this should be working like in the video.
Good luck!
If this works for you mark the thread as solved and push thanks
Thanks @ andypig04 for showing the way!
I will try this Sir thanks
need to edit 3 files
qwerty
saga-keypad

Thanks.

plz help me i think i have bricked my phone...
try doing hard reset. If you cant go to recovery mode, open your cover, between the camera and speaker there is tiny hole. Use pointed object to push this while doing download mode combo. You probably need an assistance of a brother or sister lol. Then in recovery mode, Try if your pc can detect your phone again. Then try flashing stock firmware.
that's what i'm trying to do... and something to know there is no button there... that's where the plastic was poured through tiny holes in the mold cavity that made the chassis... if you don't believe me there is another one right beneath the battery...

Lol, are you sure you have the standard international version of i9003?
There would be a small pin hole sort of thing between the camera and the speaker after opening the back flap.
You need to goto the download mode by using a pin. Press the pub hole with a sharp object(not too sharp). Then press the volume down key, then home button. Holding these all, then press the power key for about 4 seconds. You'd see the Samsung boot animation. At this point leave the power key, keep holding other buttons until you see the download mode.
Then connect to a PC to see if it's connected in com port
Press thanks if helped
