Hi guys, I am not sure if it's the place I should post this, if not mods plz move my thread to the appropriated message board.
Recently my phone fell off my desk head on. Right on the top of the phone. Now the button on/off is not functioning. I can still use the phone but as soon as it close the screen I can't light it up again. In the options I manage the let the screen open at all time but...
Bell is asking for a couple hundred bucks for repair or couple hundred to cancel my contract.
I was wondering if it was possible to some how make the camera button the on/off fonction.
I haven't open the phone yet (screws) to check the damage internally, I may be able to fix it but I doubt it.
I'll post pictures later tomorrow.
Do you guys have any ideas?
yes, check out AE button plus, you can't set it to power on the phone however you can set it to power the screen on and off. However to turn the screen on with a button other then the power button you must change the settings in key lock under settings/system/key lock you must set it do not lock buttons, otherwise no button will function, the only thing is that your call end buttons work as well.
get AE button plus
set whatever button to power on/off the backlight
disable key lock on screen power off
good luck
wow jeez thx.
I had a very hard time to find it for free so here's the cab

Same thing happened to me. This is what I did and I fixed it.
1. Take the battery cover off
2. Look at where the power button is, if you look closely you will the the button "hinges on the right side"

Is there a key combo that will hard reset the DASH.. My screen is blank, so I can't access the clear storage utility. TIA.
turn it off, hold the two softkeys and then hold the power button for 1-2s and then release the softkeys and it should prompt you

WHAT IS SOFT KEY?
This can be tricky, So I know from trial and error, Since there are not many guides out there that explain in detail on how to do this, with this particular device, I have decided to go ahead and make one up for you guys.
Here are the steps:
Step One:
Preform power down *Hold the power button* Till the phone is 100% powered down and all you see is a black screen
*keep in mind if your device is plugged into a power source or computer link this will not work!*
Step Two:
(Use both hands while doing this it will be much easier!)
Place 1 finger on each of the Soft keys.

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Step Three:
Press the power Button and hold for no more than 2 sec well holding the two soft keys (do not hold the power button till the phone turns on) ONLY PRESS THE POWER BUTTON DO NOT TURN THE PHONE ON. After pressing the power key keep your fingers on the Two Soft keys until you see a the phone turn on and a black screen come up with white writing. Once you see this screen Press the Green Send key and there you go you have just performed a hard reset on the T-Mobile dash without using the settings screen on the phone. 8)
this is solution can reset user code t-mobile dash ???

Do a hard-reset as it may be a piece of software or even just corruption.

and how do i do tht... it doesnot means clear storage is it.. coz if it is then i hav done it more than 100 times
HARD RESET:
0. Make sure the phone is not connected to the PC (via USB cable).
1. Turn the device off.
2. Press down the two soft keys which are the 2 top buttons (with dashes) besides the CALL and DROP buttons.
3. While holding the two soft keys, press the power button.
4. Keep holding the two soft keys until the screen prompts you to hard reset.
5. Release the two soft keys and press the CALL/SEND button.
The device will now reset.

It may vary from rom to rom, but tell the phone to get the time from the operator. Under Ookba´s rom, Go to START - SETTINGS - CLOCK AND ALARM - DATE AND TIME - make sure AUTOMATIC TIME/TIME ZONE is set to ENABLE.
I was having this problem too, and the solution I found is posted here!
Regards.
thanks... post helped me also...

Try Pulling Your Stylus Out Or Slide The Keyboard Open 1 Of These Should Work!!!

What happens when you slide out your keyboard? It should unlock the phone.
I have a password, sliding out the keyboard only rotates that screen to horizontal, I still have to slide it. I lost my stylus a long time ago, is there any way to trick the sensor?

I don't use a password on mine; sliding out the keyboard brings it out of lock.
Try putting in the password via the keyboard after you slide it open.
BTW replacement stylus are really cheap on ebay or amazon.
Try using MyMobiler - you can then connect to your PC and operate your mob from a PC window.
just throwing this out there
I just had this happen to one of the phones at my office. I could not get past this lock screen (btw this phone is crap). Unfortunately for me and the guy we had to completely wipe the phone to make it work.
Remove the battery hold down the "send" and the "end" buttons and when you are sure that they are sufficiently held down press and hold the power button and get ready with the volume up button just in case the phone decides it doesn't want you to reset it (I did this about 8 times before I could get it to wipe). Once this is done go through the initial setup and enjoydelay banging your head against the desk for a few weeks.
The only downside to this is that everything is gone, the upside . . . you can now use your phone.
that's all I got
Oh yea put the battery back in after you remove it otherwise no dice.
there is also a really good desktop program called mDesktop that interfaces beautifully with the phone and lets you see and interact with the screen using your mouse.. It is also a very lightweight program only exe, no install necessary.
Hi. My new Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition has a major problem: the Home button and back and menu buttons stop working from time to time. Same thing with the on off button that refuses to turn the tablet off. Happens randomly, whenever the pen is in or out. To turn off, I have to plug the tablet on charger, then hold the on-off button for many seconds. Rather annoying. Had the same problem with my other 10.1 2014.... that I scraped trying to change the battery. Any help will be welcome.

Hi,
Mine has the same issue. Reckon it is a factory defect.
However, I'm using Settings -> Device -> Accessibility -> Assistant menu.
With this function, found no problem to navigate around.
Or,
You can use "Pie Control (Pro)" app or "OmniSwitch" app
in order to use the softkey buttons.
Hope this is helpful for you.

YES! Thank you, it works. When I think that when the first 2014 edition had that problem, I was convinced it was a battery defect and I ordered one new. I opened the case following the instructions, but I was unlucky and I broke the connector behind the Home button. Then, trying to unbend (?) the bottom section, il really broke. I now have two spare batteries... Next time, I'll ask the specialists.
My 6Pro is, just like the title suggests, super sensitive for very certain things. Because of a bit of a hand disability I have gestures turned off and I rely on the Back, Home, and App Overview buttons. But the Back button is crazy. When I tap it, about half the time it will double or triple tap. The App Overview button is super weird too, but I suspect that it is it's own thread in Android 12 forum.
I've gone through to make sure that in the Display settings, the "Increase touch sensitivity" is disabled. I don't know of any other option that could affect this. I'm going to try to reach out to Google for help, god help me. But maybe someone has some ideas or maybe is already aware of if this is a hardware bug?

Yeah, I have the same random issue....
Simple/single/small touches of the back button, become double/multiple registered touches for some reason?
IT IS a very frustrating bug at times
Under accessibility setting touch and hold to medium solved my sensitivity problem (sounds like i was Emo LOL)

I've reverted my setting to short now that I'm on the March update and it seems this is much better. I'll post further if my testing shows that medium is still the optimal setting, but short seems fine right now
Nope scratch that it's just not as bad it still does it back to medium
