Basically, my power button is screwed. It is constantly held down, so I cannot lock/unlock my phone and everything else you use the button for. I realised the other day that I don't press the optical sense button down...at all. So I wonder, is it possible to turn that button into my power button? and just disable the power button all together.
Greetings:
is "Volume Wake" possible on G Note 2?
if it is, can someone explain how?
Thank you.
You have home button and power button to turn the phone on. Does volume wake still necessary??

I actually like being able to wake the phone with volume buttons as well.
I tend to keep my phones for a long while! so I look ahead and plus both
Power & Home buttons are pretty over used, I guess it won't hurt if there is another option, IMHO.
So... My power button is strange now... It's so sensitive... I mean, one tap is like holding it, it shows the menu to turn off, take screenshot ect...
What should i do? Should i take it to service?
I've got myself a Samsung A70. and after researching for ages how to do a screen shot or what ever the new name for it is.
I find out how to do this, you have to hold the power button then press the volume button, which then turns the volume up, 2nd attempt turns the volume down, 3rd attempt you try move your hands differently and you get a screen shot, of a different page you accidentally clicked on whilst trying to screen shot, then next attempt, I think I've got it, NO I don't want to turn the phone off, grrr. But eventually when you do get a screen shot, it has the volume change across the top.
Does anyone know how to alter the screen shot to the normal power button, the the central button on the bottom?

Mine doesn't work that way:
I press and hold the power button (no more than a 1 /2 second - you don't want the phone to display the power/restart options) then almost immediately press the VOLUME DOWN key for a 1/2 of a second at most (still holding the power button) and release the volume DOWN button - screenshot should be taken (screen shrinks/comes back). Release all buttons now of course.
Hope it works, let all know if it does.
:good:

You put your whole thumb on the power button and the vol down button and you click both of them at the same time.
Easier to click the buttons than swipe your hand across the screen.

Yep that's practically how every Samsung device works, infact every device I've owned, so it seems the issue is simply pilot error.
You can even do the same thing in TWRP.
What is TWRP.
I've had loads of other Samsung's phones been the power button and the main enter button on the bottom.
I've tried doing one first then the other and I get the power turn off option.
But them both with my thumb seems to work most of the time, cheers for that. I think the phone case I have causes me some problems, but both with my thumb seems to work for the last few mins that I've tried thanks.

You could always turn to the dark side and say "Hey Google, take a screenshot" LOL
Just press and hold both at the same time. If you are finding that awkward using your right thumb then use your index and middle finger on your left hand.
I know you can re-map the bixby button to open an app that will toggle mute the sound. However, when you double-press the bixby button with the screen off, will the act of double pressing the bixby button wake the screen??
What I am looking to do is re-mapp the button so that it acts like an iphone/Oneplus alert slider so that when the phone is in my pocket I can double press the bixby button and the phone goes into silent mode. But I don't want the screen to wake up when I do this.
Any advice on how to achieve this without waking the screen will be most appreciated. Perhaps the best way is to use tasker??
Thanks and appreciate any pointers, particularly from someone who already has this set-up
S20 line don't have Bixby button
I think OP meant the power button.
Power Button Remapper for S20 / Note 10 - sideActions will let you do that.

I did indeed mean the "combined" power and bixby button. Thanks for your suggestion ??
