Don't flame me by this is kind of urgent.
A friend of mine has a Desire HD but the power button is broken. I know if you root in cyanogenmod there are options for volume rocker wake but what about to lock? Are there any apps in the market that can do that?
Also if I do root her phone, how would I do it without a power button (to use hboot, recovery will be 4EXT)
Thanks in advance!

Well I'm not sure how you would configure a lock or wake function...or any rom that does so...but to boot into recovery just boot up the device, go to the 4ext app and use its function to boot into recovery.

What about getting the power button fixed, as I'm not sure on the prices for that but it is an option.

You can use adb to boot to different areas but the power button not working could become a serious issue. If phone freezes or needs a battery pull how are you going to turn it on? Is it stuck down so that it at least turns on when powered off? Also you won't be able to make selections in hboot. I would look into getting that fixed before trying to root or anything. As for the volume wake there are several roms with that feature. Cyanogen I know for sure and blackout. I'm not sure if there is an android app that does it cause I've never looked.

U can try AUTO SCREEN ON from the market it uses sensors to wake up the phone n as far as waking up with volume key i think tht needs to be implemented in the rom itself

So i dropped my Epic 4g on the stairs, and it landed directly on the power button. The button no longer works. If someone knows how to fix this, I would LOVE details. If it is not possible, can any of the devs cook up a mod to make my phone boot as soon as the charger is connected? Any feedback is appreciated.

Do you know if its just the plastic button or is it broken more towards the motherboard? Also I'm not sure of any dev who would know how to change the power on to the charger input.

Do u have any way to turn it on? At least to get to cwm? Cuz if u can and flash cm7 it has an option to turn another button into the power button.

more towards the mother board. I opened it up, removed the plastic button, and used a small screwdriver to press the actual button. No dice

I can turn it on (oddly enough rapidly inserting and removing the power cord tricks it into turning on) and yes I can get into clockwork mod. I already user cyanogen mod 7. Where is this setting? I already changed the "volume rocker wake" setting. If there another one to remap the keys?

No I think you got the one that was in my mind. I'm on the peoples rom now so I can't really go and check to make sure but its the setting that makes the phone turn on by the volume key I'm guessing? So maybe you have the one I was thinking about? What other use do you need the power button for at the moment? Order a replacement and just flash the FC09 tar before giving it in. Say that u don't know what's wrong but it won't turn on lol.

Well if your power button doesn't work then Odin isn't a possibility. But if you can get into download mode then Odin to stock and turning it into the nearest sprint store would be your best bet....

If he could odin than he can turn on the phone hence no need for this thread but that's not the case. Honestly just go pay the money and have sprint give you another phone and say you lost it. Its the same cost even if you give them the phone I've done it before for people who wanted my epic for cricket and with the additional cash I payed for the issurance. Your paying for insurance use it.

I can deal with it until June. Then everyone on the house upgrades but me. I'll take my older sisters epic 4g and use my parents HTC EVO's as mp3 players. Or whatever the hell music format I so damn choose player as my audiophile friend refers to Android phones (he's kinda a fan). But thanks for the help guys. Looks like it's a waiting game

I found this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27334251&postcount=6

Anyone else having an intermittent issue with the device not waking up via the power button? This happens from time to time. Holding the power button will still reset the device. Plugging in a USB connection will wake. However hitting the power button yields no result. The device still responds to incoming notifications. Sometimes I can wait a few seconds and it will work properly. It's rather odd.

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.

Hi guys,
I searched the XDA forums but didn't find an answer for this.
When my Note 2 freeze, is there a way to force reboot (restart) my Android device? I have found a lot of answers on hard reset, but nothing about hard reboot. In the iOS world, I can hold down home and power and it would always perform a force restart. From what I have seen, the only way to hard restart my Android is to pull my battery out. Is there a way to perform a hard restart via buttons only (when the device is frozen)?
On a related issue,
Its weird, my "auto rotation" stops working, but repeated restart and complete shutdown and boot up didn't fix this issue until I pull the battery and it works again. I wonder if "shutdown" is really shutdown....
No reboot keys unfortunately. Stupid move on Sammy's part this time around. There is no hybernate on Samsung. Try recalibrating the gyroscope... Either that or a rogue app. Also... Smart rotation is best, imo. It will use the ffc to follow eyes and if it fails... (Low light or whatever reason) It uses the gyro. Good luck

Hi,
Is there any way to enable volume adjustment when the phone is locked? (using volume keys on the phone or on a headset)
When I was using CM on my old Nexus S I was able to do this.
I'm on Wicked v7 ROM, but I think this was the same also on stock.
Thanks

I actually want the opposite to happen. I don't want someone being able to mute my phone without me knowing. Running BeanStalk
I'm talking about the media volume actually. When I'm listening to music I would like to be able to raise or lower the volume without unlocking the phone.

You should be able to. I'm on Wicked v7 and can raise/lower volume when screen shut off and phone is lock.
Either with the buttons on the phone or headphones.
You could even skip to next or previous track with settings in Wicked Control.
Is there any setting to enable this?
I know about track control, but I'm more interested in volume.

I'm having exactly the same problem. I've gone in and disabled the loud volume warning in Xposed AND Wanam, and it isn't helping.
I'm wondering if those of us having difficulties chose something when installing with Aroma that was different from the people having no issues. Is there something we could have done differently on install? I'm starting to get really frustrated. 90% of what I use my phone for is music.
Also, are the other people having problems using the Music2sD feature from Xposed? Could that be creating an issue somewhere?
Note: When the screen is off, you cannot adjust the volume continuously by long holding the button. You have to press it multiple times separately to step thru the volume levels! It's a supposed safety measure so you dont blast it while trying to pull the phone out, which happened to me alot on my old phone. Maybe it works for some of you but u didn't notice because you only got +1 step?

I don't think it has anything to do with Xposed, since the issue was there even before I installed it. (I only installed it to try to SOLVE the issue)
