So my power button is broken and i'm on the official T-Mobile Jellybean release. I was wondering if there was some code I could put in build.prop that could enable the volume rocker wake until I send it into Samsung for repair. I exhausted every resource and read many forums but I couldn't find anything. If anyone could help me or even point me in the right direction it'll be really appreciated!
Thanks a lot!

what u need is button remapping.
depending on model of your phone, u can find out hard button mapping, then using adb u can assign the change.
i know it's possible, i did it on a old captivate once. Will go thru my notes.....
hit thanks now or late
Hmm sounds hard but i'll try googling it. Thanks!

I had the power button issue too. I sent it to a third party place to get the button replaced. My phone is working like a charm now.
It seems the gs2's had this issue on a few of them. The button seems to get stuck and the phone keeps on rebooting.
Cost me 40 bucks to get it fixed. Well, plus shipping.
Here is the link to the place I used.

Hope this helps
Tried remapping the buttons...failed miserably. Thanks for the help guys!

Try fixing it yourself
there are excellent step by step videos on youtube
teaches you exactly how to replace all parts
I have seen the videos seems simple
just order the button assembly online
save yourself some big buks
you can probably fix it faster yourself this way too...

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?

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..

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.
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....

I have no passcode on my phone and when I slide the keyboard the screen turns on and I just swipe it to unlock. Or you can use your insurance and get it replaced for $100.

Put the button back in, odin to el30, remove sd card and bring it to sprint. That's your best option.

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

Quickboot from Play has a flash to recovery option.
I'm on CM10 (nightly 9/28) and recently my power button broke.
I found this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27334251&postcount=6
Menu - Settings - Display - (scroll down to Wakeup Options and check Volume rocker wake)... but it doesn't wake it from a deep sleep. Anyone have any ideas?
Slide the keyboard open and close it. That should turn the screen on

I'm stuck in a bootloop, and my home button is broken, I just need a way to get into recovery mode and i can easily fix the problem. Like i said, i can't use the hardware home button, the adb doesn't seem to recognize my phone ANY help would be much appreciated.
depends how much your home button is broken if its still in place but doesnt recognize clicks you can put some rubbing alcohol in it and click it a lot and it should work

The home buttons ribbon is completely severed. I'd rather like to avoid spending the money to buy a new one. I'm assuming the easiest way to get around it is the adb, but it won't recognize the device.

Any way to remap the power button to the home button? My mom dropped her phone and every once in a while it'll just get stuck in a loop until she smacks the phone and the power button kinda fixes it self for a little bit at least. Any way I can remap the power button to maybe the home button?
I believe you can. A little bit of googling will find you a guide.

Final bump...
Although other properties such as Power Menu can be remapped to Home button, When the phone is completely turned off, bootloader won't respond to anything else. Better have it replaced. If you open the phone, it may be easier to reseat the spring.
Ok, so i can't really tell if this particular problem has been posted before but from what i have looked through it has not. However, if i have just missed it then please just redirect me to it as long as it matches my problem so please read through my post before posting that its been done.
So moving along, as the title says i have a Samsung Galaxy s2 SGH-T989 and i've been running CyanogenMod 10.2. Oh and before i forget, the battery is not dead and just in case i've tried to turn it on while plugged in only to get the same results. Anyways over the past 24 hours my phone started shutting off randomly to the point now that it shuts off before finishing booting. If it does finish it doesn't stay on long enough to do anything and sometimes it barely turns on.
Has this been heard of before and even if not what can i try or do?
Three words:
Broken power button
Apparently it's a very common issue with this phone.
It has yet to happen on my phone. I hope it never does lol.
You can try replacing the button yourself or take it to a cellphone repair shop.
Sounds right, the button is difficult to replace, best to have a shop replace it. I have fixed a couple by tightening the button. You tube, easy power button fix t989 by iamkambodian. Only if you're OK with taking it apart.
Ps, you can feel the button click if it's good.

Well i tried the method in the video and that doesn't seem to have fixed it. Also not entirely sure its the power button but i don't really know how to tell either. Anyways if there are any other ideas please let me know.
This is what I did when I messed up a recovery: plugged it in the computer and held all 3 buttons until Samsung then just volume up. It got me into download mode where I used Odin to flash another recovery.
