I was wondering what I should do about it? It's defitnetly a hardware issue and not a software one.. the one way I can turn my phone on is that I have CM7 and I have the volume keys act as the power buttton
My warranty is out.. should I guts it out and open my phone up and try to fix it? Any suggestions? Thanks in advanced guys

So here's my scenario, I let a friend of mine borrow my phone for a couple of hours for work and ever since he returned it my 4 capacitive buttons have been acting up, my menu button presses itself it seems and I cannot hold down the home button to review my recent apps or access the task manager because my phone reboots itself . I do not know what he did or if he messed around with it but according to him he didn't do anything. Is there anyway anyone can help me remap the buttons to stock? Any help is appreciated, Thank You!

Maybe liquid damage?

I'd try an odin to factory reset and see if it's software related. If its still acting up after a reset then it'll be a hardware problem.

I think its software related because my search button vibrates once on press and then it vibrates again on release, do any of you guys know how to remap the buttons?

If you're not rooted, have you tried doing a reset?
phone settings > privacy > factory data reset
will wipe your data but agree with the earlier posters... if doing a factory reset doesn't fix it, it's probably a hardware issue (perhaps water damage).
Are you running maddogins lockscreen mod?

Time to tell your friend to buy you a new phone!
Sounds like LD. Try the reset if you can, and hope for the best.

I've done a hard reset a couple of times and the problem is still there. I'm starting to think it is hardware related, the weird thing is that I've had the phone since it was released and it never gave me these problems until recently..

What about cleaning the entire glass really well? Maybe an oily smudge causing issues?
Did u figure it out yet? I certainly wouldn't be letting my friends borrow my phone again.

I found this to be true so i uninstalled and home button fixed!
but the menu button is still acting up... I have decided that it's hardware related so i will be getting my phone replaced, thank you guys for the help.
I just got a new sgs2 thru a warranty exchange, but for some reason this one doesnt have a lockscreen. I press the power button and It just opens to my homescreen, also when I hold the power button it just shuts down instead of giving me the lil options of shutting down, airplane, etc. will installing a ROM fix these issues or do I gotta get a new one again?? Thanks

Yes a new rom should clear this up np. the rom im using actually gives you the option to remove the lockscreen all together. the prior user of your phone must have removed the lockscreen.... Either that or they have some shady software program that restores the phones at tmobil.

I wonder if Widget Locker alone is enough to fix your problem.
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.

My power button is faulty and is rebooting my phone frequently. So I want to disable it. I've searched around quite a bit, and can't find a way.
Does anyone know how this can be accomplished?
Thanks
Smith
