You might need to get it replaced, or try a factory reset, that's weird
We're comin from a pure power source.

[FB17 SCREENSHOT] HOME+POWER or VOL DWN+POWER - Your Choice!

So most of you know what Vol Down + Power is the screenshot when you hold it. Well it looks like they kept the old Home + Power as well, just hold them and it does the same thing rofl.
Home + Power didn't work for me when I was running the rom. Volume down + Power did however. Holding home+power would just bring up either the new task manager or it would do something else. Maybe another quirk with the build?
I hold either or on FB17 and it does it.

OK the trick is pressing them at the exact same time, not one before another. Press and hold.

definetly not as smooth as on GB. took me a couple tries to get it going. I actually thought this feature was removed at first cause it is so picky but thanks for the info! now I know I just need more patience.

It's actually smoother than gingerbread, I think most people are trying to tap them together but you have to press and hold both buttons until it snaps.
I like this new way better and also like using power + v. down. Easier to manage imo.

[Q] After flashing new ROM Home button can no longer go home

Howdy!
First post and it appears I'm "one of those" that's begging for help.
I flashed a new ROM today - CleanGB - and it works great, with one exception. The home button doesn't work.
I installed the "Button ReMapper" app and still can't get the home button to take me home. But I can make the home button do other functions, such as menu.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Reflash it.. or flash an alternative kernel I've had this issue before and usually reflashing will fix it.

Check your launcher settings. sometimes they have options to map your soft keys.

[Q]Apps for waking a phone with a broken power button?

So my power button is fried, and my replacement gets here on Monday, but I cannot live with a broken power button. So, any suggestions for app(s) that wake the phone using the volume key or something?
Bump. Need some help. D:

I'm running cm10 and under Settings» lockscreen» Screen Security there is an option to unlock the screen using the menu key (hard key on far left). Just tried it out, works flawlessly. Unfortunately I can't help you find the app you need and flashing a rom without using the power button may be problematic. Best of luck to you!

I would love to get CM, but the only problem is that since my power button is stuck, it's gonna be a pain to flash. And, not only that, as it is right now, since my power button is stuck, I was able to put it into ODIN mode and restore to stock unrooted to take it in, but I'm afraid that I might flash, and then the power button magically un-sticks, and then I'm screwed, cause I can't unroot it. Anyways, just today and tomorrow left, so not so bad. I actually think I can take it.

Power Button wakeup

I used to press the Power Button and the phone quickly wakeup. Out of the sudden, when I press the Power Button it now takes 4-5 seconds until the phone wakeup. I could not find any settings for this. Appreciate your help.
What rom are you running and what did you come from that didn't have that problem?
