(Q) My power button not working.. help?

I was wondering what I should do about it? It's defitnetly a hardware issue and not a software one.. the one way I can turn my phone on is that I have CM7 and I have the volume keys act as the power buttton
My warranty is out.. should I guts it out and open my phone up and try to fix it? Any suggestions? Thanks in advanced guys

How to take Screenshot!! - NO APP

O.O So I found this out when I was inserting my SD-Card into my Galaxy Gio.
Then I accidentally pressed the following buttons:
Power Button + Home Button
O.O
But not at the same time! Power button first, then press the home button!
Ahahahaha
This was on STOCK Gingerbread 2.3.6

Home button + back soft key with Froyo and Gingerbread (2.3.3, 2.3.4)

Yeah I knew about it but I never got it working -_-
I would press Power + Home button together and never get screenshot LOL
But know I now you must press power first then home

lol fail

I mostly press home first, otherwise the power popup pops up
It depends on holding them both for a few seconds

But if you press home first it would make you go back home.
Where as, when you press power first, there's a delay and then quickly press home to screensot. Or not you lock the phone.
LOL

Hahaha
I hate the feeling when you discover something cool then everybody knows about it lol

How to turn off the phone when bootloop/system lag/ etc.

Just hold power button and volume-up button until the phone turns off after flashing with touch buttons.

Isn't it a case of simply holding the power button, without touching the volume button?

U have to push power button and volume up button at the same time to work. And think: If an app lags and u can't get the screen working? U can't put out the battery. This is the only exit if u don't have any PC and USB cable.

You can simply hold the power button. I've done it loads of times.

It doesn't work in lockscreen.

Just did it and works fine. Simply hold the power button.
Although the ROM you are on possibly does not have it.

I've tried it only on Sense ROMs, but it also works with AOKP/CM9 I think.

Parts are available online,, Google replacing it and you can find good videos on how to replace etc.

In the mean time, use a toothpick to move the volume buttons.

I have found the volume button part online but u need a flex cable for the volume button which I cannot find online

the volume buttons that come from factory are some what of bad quality they keep breaking and just to let u know flex cable has nothing to do with volume buttons, and as for replacing it u can do it without opening the phone but its complicated u can end up breaking the new volume buttons, better is to take of the back cover of the phone n thn replace the volume button.. the hard side goes towards the uper side of the phone n the soft side towards the lower side

[Q]Apps for waking a phone with a broken power button?

So my power button is fried, and my replacement gets here on Monday, but I cannot live with a broken power button. So, any suggestions for app(s) that wake the phone using the volume key or something?

Bump. Need some help. D:

I'm running cm10 and under Settings» lockscreen» Screen Security there is an option to unlock the screen using the menu key (hard key on far left). Just tried it out, works flawlessly. Unfortunately I can't help you find the app you need and flashing a rom without using the power button may be problematic. Best of luck to you!

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.
