[Q] My phone still works, but power button doesn't. - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Can I turn it on with with adb or something?

There's an app you can buy I believe it's slide to unlock or something like that. It basically does what the power button does when you push it

I saw this while reading the forums yesterday, no idea if it actually works.
As for when the phone is on, search the Play Store for PGM Nexus. I think you need a kernel that supports the fuction & I believe the latest "nightlies" of Franco & Trinity both work.

Air kernal also works

The app for a flashlight is called flashlight. Search for it in the market

My main flashlight has been Tesla LED, but it seems to have a a 3 second or so wait between pressing the torch and the light coming on. Hopefully they will patch it up soon and it will be a great torch app on the Nexus Prime.

works great.
Hi,
does USB Jig for Galaxy S/Galaxy S2 work on Nexus?
I tried a load of flash light apps, all which seemed to have taken forever from when you press the switch to when the light went on.
Apart from 1 app called "search light" https://market.android.com/details?id=com.scottmain.android.searchlight . The flash turns on instantly, and you can have the screen show you what the camera sees, which is very useful when looking for things in the dark!
I can't recommend search light enough!
I agree with darkgruff , tiny works great and just added shake to turn on in the lock screen

I don't know if you are rooted or not but AOKP's roms have a torch built in and you can enabled it as a toggle in the notification bar. Works perfectly.

Any free screen capture app?

Thank u any way.

WTF?

In all honesty, it is a bit tricky to time it right the first time. That's why it might seem not to work but it does
Also, some ROMs have this option embedded in the power menu (though most of the time you will need to activate the option first in the settings of the ROM) and this might make it easier than pressing the 2 keys at the exact same time.
You could also look in the android market. there are a couple of apps that do that.
Although you already have screen capture on your phone, I guess you could try this app. It has been my screen capture app of choice before I bought my GNex.

Touch Sounds Disappear - CM9 Gnex

For some reason my touch sounds have disappeared from my phone. Running CM9b1. This is driving my nuts. Anyone ever come across this problem with their Gnex? The touch sound toggle is on but still won't work.

Download android assistant and go to the tools tab. Select volume and see of the system volume is all the way down. If so that's the issue. I had this happen on older builds. Try using the latest night lies. I think they have fixed this issue.

Phone vibrates and won't boot

So I was listening to music on my phone with slim bean and it fell behind the bed and when I found it all it does is say Samsung and vibrate in a consistent pattern. Also if I remove the battery and put it back in it vibrates as soon as battery/charger is connected. Does this mean it somehow got in bootloader mode? If so is their a way to get it out without my PC? I tried getting into twrp but. No avail.

These is a similar thread floating around here where people have had this issue when using Pandora. See if you can search for it.

Thank you, I fell into a noob panic. Thanks for calming me down lol. Looks like I may have a power button issue on my hands

No problem. I knew there was something on it but didn't know the details. People have also had a similar problem with Pandora. Don't know if that's what you were listening to, but there seems there's a problem with Pandora and the latest roms.

I was listening to music from my SD card. I got it to boot
But I didn't have the similar in and when I rebooted it it did the same thing. Also got it to load the tarp splash and it rebooted then and I can see the screen flicker like it was booting and the power button was pressed. Looks like I'm going to have to send it off. Hope I can get it replaced for free if not I'm gonna look at a different phone.
