Basically, my power button is screwed. It is constantly held down, so I cannot lock/unlock my phone and everything else you use the button for. I realised the other day that I don't press the optical sense button down...at all. So I wonder, is it possible to turn that button into my power button? and just disable the power button all together.

Hi,
does anybody know a program to map the power button to a different button lik the OK-button to switch an MDA III on and off as the power button is broken?

VJKeypress can do this. Also VJEschaton I think...

Power button mapping
I've tried Vijay 555 to assign power on/off to another button, but it has not worked. I need to map on/off elsewhere, whilst having the button lock option, as my normal Blue Angel power button is broken.
Have I used the software correctly? Is there a way of re-mapping power button AND having button lock still not allow any other button to power the device up?
Any help would be great - whilst I carry on searching the site!!
I hate the way power button is positioned on Hermes. I have trouble finding it plus each time I try to use it I accidentally slide keyboard open.
Is there any way to use PTT button as power button instead? I might be able to figure out how to use it to power unit down but is it possible to use it to power unit up while other buttons will still be locked?
Making PTT shut 'er down or suspend it is really easy, but I've never seen a way to make it power on with any button besides power.
The volume "rocker" isn't actually a rocker but just two buttons with a bridge over them. Is there a way to make it so that pressing both at approximately the same time functions like a power button? I find the double tapping isn't always reliable and the real power button is hard to reach.
I think it is possible to replicate the power button (including hold to show power menu) by modifying some system files but I did not try it. I have the same thought like you, the power button is hard to reach. I use dt2w to wake my device.
If you are comfortable with xposed, use GravityBox. There is an option to use volume rocker to wake your device. In addition you can also modify the recent key so that double tapping the recent key you can sleep the device. With combination of both you can wake and sleep the device without the use of the power key.
I have always wondered about this too. I mean, the camera is accessible from sleep using the volume buttons, why can't we just use the volume buttons to only wake up the device?
Hi,
My power button still works but it has lost its "click", so when I press it there's no indication if its been pressed or not.
Of course the screen comes on/off if I press it hard enough, but the button itself seems faulty.
I've had the phone since launch. Is there a way to open it and replace the power button? The volume buttons are fine.
Thanks
So my power button pops off, and the replacement in Indonesia is nonexistence. I've been using "button mapper" app and changed the up volume button as my power button, but when my phone sleep/lock I cannot use the volume button anymore. I have to rely on "raise to wake" and "double tap to wake", but those things are slow and sometimes acting up in android Q
Is there any way to remap my home button? what should I do, and if I should root my phone what is the next thing to do?
Thank you very much
