Does anyone know of a mod (besides gravity screen on) to turn on the screen without the power button? My power button suddenly stopped working and I've seen that option in settings, but can't seem to find it on sensewiz. Thanks again

I believe you can remap your keys in generic.kl to wake with volume
check this out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2203059
a very basic guide on how to get the .kl file then just edit as you wish
I have been looking for a solution for this for quite some time. I am using gravity off right now. I just tried to change this file many times. I commented out Key 116 and put the POWER in key 115, the vol up, but that didnt work. I then tried to comment out all the POWER buttons in the file and replaced VOL up with POWER button - that didnt work. Then i reverted back and added the WAKE to the ends of VOL up and down, and that didnt work either. After all changes, i reverted the permission to the correct values.
Any one get this to work? Stock rooted GB27.
I just took my phone into the sprint store, and they are ordering a new one. But its on backorder My upgrade is up in December and I'll probably go with the note 3, so I'll just give the new phone to my brother, since he has the EVO LTE but the screen is basically unreadable because he shattered the screen

Well I don't know the magic words I guess to tell the sprint store employee because about 3 months or more ago I told them I had this issue and asked for a replacement. The tech said he never heard of this 'common' problem.

The magic words are "I want to speak to your supervisor."
Hardware failure is what they are there for. (Unless, apparently, your usb port is jacked, in which case they tell you its something you did, and it'll be $500 to fix...)

Yes, but this is a "software" power button, he didn't mean the hardware one...
Another great app...Thanks!!
This will save on the wear of the hardware power button greatly. Just think about how many times a day you use the power button to lock/unlock the screen, this will cut the use in half. My old HD7 didn't even "click" anymore when I pressed the power button and I forgot that it even did until I got my new replacement HD7.

1- Yes, but only to lock the device.
2- It does not affect the battery.
first: sorry for reviving this old thread.
never thought I'd ever go back to Windows Phone 7 apps. My daughter dropped her WP7 device into water. Even after several cleaning and drying attempts the power button does not work anymore. All other buttons do work.
This app was a god send! thank you. Now she doesn't have to wait for the 30s screen time out
wonder if it's possible to create an app that does a combination of Vol down and Windows button to accomplish the same.

yeah thanks but I was probably not clear enough and I have this already on her phone.
what I meant is an app that changes the physical button behavior of Vol down and Windows button, when pressed together, to turn screen off. The screen off tile is OK for now. The problem is that once the screen is off the only way to turn the screen off is to open the keyboard (slide phone).
The other issue is that once the phone is off you can't turn it back on because the power button is dead. So you have to plug it into a usb port and it turns on.....
cheers

Try a factory reset.
Or try changing to some other rom.
Make sure its not from holding the power button, like in your pocket when you sit down or something like a case pressing the button.
This used to happen to me anyway, it's a feature!
Yeah, it happened to me few times. Power button sucks.
My oneX until today 2 error msg and my phone restart.. when this happen,my bottom button (back,home,recent apps) blinking and my phone restart..anyone can help. Me?
If you're on stock Rom and factory reset doesnt helps, it is a hardware issue. Send it to service center

Same, the home+back+recent app buttons start blinking but it most of the time doesn't go off, just in a deep sleep mode.
You should not keep the home button pressed, but press it a few times [3,4 times]
I believe this will be fixed in 1.3.3 , but I am not sure.
I have talked to HTC about my HOX restarting and they suggested that before a factory reset I should try using the phone in safe mode. It's been turned on in safe mode for quite some time now... and guess what?! No other resets so far...
In conclusion: it's a stinking play store app / app update / app bg service.
Will use it like so for a couple a days and get back with feedback, or until JB rolls out globally in a few days.

Hello again,
1st of all... to get into safe mode just hold the power button pressed until your phone restarts... after it powers on wait it passes the first image on the boot screen, once it reaches the animated HTC logo (the one with the sound) press and hold the volume down until the phone completely starts. In the bottom left corner you will see SAFE MODE.
In my case it was the Viber app that screwed my phone. After complete uninstall my HOX runs just fine... and a bit faster...
Even got better scores in benchmarks...

have you checked for 3rd part apps running? check activity on your hox, to me happened with a funny "free" game, it hold in memory and waste all resource till reboot due insufficient resources (with an error before)
i have to send my phone to repair, it keeps shutting down and when i turn it on sometimes i see a '!' on the battery indicator, and the battery stats graph looks like this http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18387650/2012-10-03_21-46-06.png
it stopped doing this after a while, but today, after 1 or 2 months it started doing like that again. it started after i removed the tpu case to clean it, probably there something improperly connected, and when i apply i little pressure to clean it , it give some problem. it shutted down 4 or 5 times and now looks ok again... i just hope it won't take too long for repair.
Okay, so I have a strange dilemma. I am currently using GB08 Stock Rooted of the ROM. Last week I was using my phone when suddenly my phone rebooted by itself, at first I thought it was an app crashing or something normal which happens to all of us so I restarted it. Strangely, on the bottom left hand corner displayed a text box saying "SAFE MODE", to my knowledge I had this on my original Epic 4G and the solution for me was to restart the device, but it didn't go away. In addition all my apps were gone and the volume down button seemed to malfunction when turning the music down. As a solution I tried to ODIN GB08 (strangely the volume down button works when trying to get to Download Mode), but the volume up button doesn't work even though it does work when I boot it into "Safe Mode". I tried to use Mobile Odin but it the device won't allow me to use apps other than those that were pre-installed into the device. I tried taking out the battery and waiting up to 10 minutes and restarted it but no luck, so I want to know if any of you guys know how to fix this?
:crying:
I had this issue happen about a month ago. The volume down key is sticking.
You need to take the phone apart and clean it up. Repeatedly press the volume rockers until you feel that it is back to normal. Then put the phone back together and put the battery back in.

A work-around for phones stuck in safe mode due to water damage etc but that seem to work fine otherwise is to convert the (trusted) apps you need from data apps to system apps (move the .apk from /data/app to /system/app after installing via the Play Store). You may need to use Mounts2Sd or something similar with an sd-ext partition if you don't have enough space in your internal /system partition for all the apps you need. (With Mounts2Sd, placing the apps in /data/app-system on the sd-ext partition will fool the phone into thinking the apps are in /system/app and you can then use them in safe mode). If anybody is aware of a simpler script that does the same thing, please lmk.
If this helps you, please hit the Thanks button.
Does anyone know if there is a patch or app or mod that will allow the use of the Flashlight torch via the volume or home buttons on the phone. For example I would like to be able to turn the flashlight on by clicking the volume up and down at the same time or double tapping the home button. Some how turn the light on without having to unlock the phone and navigate to a widget.

I've used an older app on another handset called "button remapper". It literally does just that, but I'm not sure if it'll knock out the buttons original function all together or just allow both functions to run depending on the current state of use you're in.

My D710 is driving me insane with the phantom menu button. Its so bad my search button has been going off at random too. This of course only happens when I am sending text messages, or receiving them. Which makes it extremely frustrating.
I know there's ways to disable these buttons. I do not have my phone rooted, and would rather not root it right now. I am still fighting sprint to replacing it with a different brand, but they insist on repairing it over and over again. If I root it, that will just give them ammo to deny my claims.
Is there anyway to disable the buttons on a bone stock GB27 setup?? Thanks in advance.
If you hold down the menu key. Search will pop up. So your search key is fine. The menu phantom press triggers a "hold" on the menu key at time thus, search pops up. There's a thread someone in the general forum that "fixes" the problem with the menu key.
EDIT: Unfortunately, the file to remap the keys are at system level, so rooting is the only way. You can temporary root, however.

No, if i hold my menu button down... nothing happens. But if i hit the search bar, search pops up.
I am having phantom menu & search buttons. My phone has a mind of its own whenever data is being transfered over the network. My daughters D710 does not act nearly as bad as mine does. Her's does phantom menu every now and then, but mine phantom menu & phantom searches EVERY SINGLE TIME. Unless i am at the sprint store of course.
Anyhow, I understand now that its not possible without root. When you say temporary root, does that mean just root, do the mod & then return to stock? Or is there some other method of temporary rooting?
Hmm.. On stock the way the keys are for me are the way I explained.
Anyway. When finishing running the exploit, you reboot, once the phone is booted, you'll have root. Once you finish editing the file, reboot. Once booted, root is gone. There's an app called frama-root for our device that let's you temp root if I remember correctly.

I sent my phone to Samsung twice for warranty repairs. They replaced the screen first, then when I sent it back they replaced the PBA. The problem never got any better, so I took it to my local sprint store where the tech was well aware of the issue. He replaced my screen (again) and it seems like the problem has gotten worse.
I will take a look at the tutorial you linked and see if i can make this work. Does that tutorial require me to root my device?
Yup, you'll need to be rooted.

Great, so I followed the guide and Disabled the softkeys, then enabled the Navbar. Seems like that took care of it, so far I have had 0 phantom keypresses.
I hate giving up screen space for the navbar. Especially when only the Menu button is at fault. Is there anyway to disable JUST the menu button, and leave the Home, back & search keys?
Thanks again for the help guys.
