I think when you are in recovery, its volume up, volume down, volume up that enables power button

I've cycled through the menu up and down and the power burton wouldn't work. I had to hit it about 8 times for it to work.
I'm going to test that now.

I tried that and it worked on the first try. Will have to test it out some more to make sure it wasn't a fluke.

I had the same problem. I came across the solution by accident when I hit the volume up and down buttons in succession several times (up down up down up down). Give that a try!
I hit volume up really fast about 10-15 times and that is what activated the power button for me.

Nope, its no fluke if you start at the top. Thanks to Tiffany84 and qbking for the tip when I asked about scrolling 15 or 20 times

I've got 5.0.2.7 and for me the power button is the back button and home is for making a selection.

That is correct. If u way the power button to be the enter button then when cwm loafs up it volume up, down, and up again and then u should see "back button enabled" and then the power button makes the selection.

I read this as power button rarely works on cm
I was so exicited only to be let down :'(
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
It has to do with scrolling through the options completely and going around. So If you go to a screen with less options it will be faster to hit the volume up or down. I believe it is 3 loops that enables/disables it.(maybe 2...)
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
Uhh... just use the home button to select? Power button is for going back.
Thats what was figured out.

I think the OP meant to have the phone POWER UP using that button, instead of wake up....
If that is the case, I've never seen that, would be interesting. Should not have said "wake" OP, wake insinuates it was sleeping (screen just off) not "dead". You said that it was in the Pac Man rom where did you find it there?
You can try to change key layout. Make nandroid backup for safty and go to system/usr/kaylayout. I don't know which key is which so you would have to look around in there. I can't guarantee that this will work because I never tried that, but it should. Let us know about results.
Good luck

No I just ment wake up...cause to get to my recovery i have to use a paperclip to push in where my power button was...but yeah I ment wake up so I could still wake it up to even use my phone but im gonna check yhose files ill tell you what I find...thanks for the help guys...
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
This thread should answer your questions. Instead of removing wake make sure wake is included.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1836758
Pretty sure only a couple roms removed that, every rom I've tried wakes up with the home button. About all but 4 lol.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
If you ment just wake up I'm going to look which files and keys I have for that and I will give you names of them so you can edit them.
Update: Ok, I've checked that and it seems that key 172 in sec_keys.kl is home button. So if you would just add "WAKE" after it then you should be ok. I think that if you would also add "POWER" then it should power on or off (?) your phone. I don't know how you would be able to get to recovery then but it's interesting. Maybe phone will think that you press both buttons? xD

As a workaround to get into recovery without using a paperclip, you can use any of a number of apps that have a reboot to recovery option.

If that's not working for some freak reason, try this: Settings > ROM Control > Power Menu and select show screenshot. Then, hold the power button and select take screenshot.

Perfect!
I was wondering if anyone else has had an issue with the menu and back button not registering touch sometimes? My menu button does it more than the back button. Sometimes I have to restart the phone to get it to start working again or hit the home button and then it works. Anyone else have this issue?

I just picked up my phone yesterday and now I don't even have to press the lock button for it to work. I can just rub my finger on it. And its really annoying because it keeps turning off and on in my pocket. Is their a way to make the power menu show up when long pressing the menu button and then turning off the power button completely?

Usually that's something a app would do (or even a setting in your ROM).
Btw, we're missing some info here, what is on your phone atm?
I'm on the 3.6 paranoid android ROM. And really? I thought it would be some kind of hardware.

I'd suggest going in the PA thread and look at their features to see if touch wake is in there. Also, to look through your ROM settings.
What you mean by you just got it?

I'm not sure I understand what you want. I though you wanted your screen to not wake from touch? If so, why would you want to turn off your lock button?
Either way, you can remap you hardware buttons but I don't suggest it.
No my lock button is doing the touching. Like I can slide my finger on my lock button and it turns on and off and it turns on my phone in my pocket and turns it off a lot. Its like the button is super sensitive.

Oh wow, I completely miss-understood you.
You button being extra sensitive it definitely hardware related. You might have to open your phone and clean it or have it replaced.
I've opened my phone up and tried paper in between it and cleaned it and all that. I don't even know whats wrong. That's why I just want to turn the button off completely.

Is the button loose? Or further in than it should?
And you can look into button mapping but make sure to backup your files before changing them. Also, you will lose power menu.
The button is the same to me. And yeah I wish I could just change something then turn it off. And no I changed my menu button to where long press is the power menu.
