The power button in my phone is about to die and it's getting harder every day to press it, I need to do something before it fully breaks, the wave-to-wake option is not possible, as my screen protector blocks the proximity sensor.
My phone has an "Easy Key" which is like a "spare" button that can be mapped to do certain things, except replacing the power button, my plan is to use it as a full replacement. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks in advance!
P.S: My phone runs Android 5.1 and it's unrooted.

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.

One of the down sides of having such a large screen is the amount of travel your finger has to do to get to the power switch to turn the display on.
is there a hack or an app that can allow me to customize the capacitative buttons (home, menu, back, search) to turn on the phone? (not from a power off state, but from a suspend state)?
Other potential solutions could be remapping either of the volume keys, or maybe using the accelerometer to determine the orientation of the phone and then wake up the screen.
Yes, I am looking for the same thing. The power button on Inspire is not that well designed. I can't really tell if i am pressing it or now. I am afraid the button will broke since it doesn't have the press down feeling. I think everyone has the same problem on this button.
I think only midgets and girls have this problem. Are you a midget or a girl?
lol jk
try widgetlocker
you can wake up phone with volumes button !
am looking for an app to go directly to the swipe lock screen without power off so I can switch users without cycling the power button on my tablet. The power button is offset toward the back and annoying to use as well.
Also, do not want to use a proximity sensor app because it drains battery and uses hardware unnecessarily.
If this is something that is already built into android and I haven't found a shortcut, I apologize in advance.
I recently realised that by long pressing the main button on most modern headphones activated OK google. This even works when the screen is off. I want to fool the system by long pressing the camera key instead. But preferably only when the screen is off as I do use the camera quite often. Thanks in advance.
I don't know if I post this in the right section. I just wanted to let others know that I've found a way to disable the light from capacitive buttons even if the phone is not in Power Saving Mode, and ofc without any third party software.
You dial *#0*# and you go to the bottom and press "Black". Now, if you hold the power button you can chose to restart the phone and the backlight will stay off.
If you press volume up key after you pressed "Black" it will just exit.
At first I was thinking I broke my phone. Then I realise how it works. Let me know if it helps.
No need for all this. This app can do what you want and more.
