Try this app or flash a kernel that supports it like Elemental.

(app)save your power button! No root

I've seen many people RMA their nexus 4s because of the power button becoming loose, unresponsive or completely not functioning. I've found two apps that may help you prolong your button's life. First is "screen off and lock" a widget that locks your screen when you tap it. Second is "auto screen on", it unlocks/wakes your device using the proximity sensor/g sensor. I personally find that the proximity one works better. Hope these 2 apps will save your power button!

Try "touch control" to double-tap to wake the screen and "GMD gesture control" to lock the phone sliding up or with any gesture like 2fingersdouble tap
I tried many apps that use proximity sensor and it drains my battery
Yeah, touch control is great. Though not everyone wants to root and install custom kernels

not much but there is only one big issue,
your phone`s screen become unresponsıve in your pocket sometimes and only solution is rebooting the phone and that happens alot. especially in hot weather for me and there is still no fix for it.
For my experience is Awesome On Off Ultimate is the best for me to save power button life.

I use s2w to wake and gravity screen to turn off when I put it in my pocket, uses next to no battery.

Power button wears off because people are dumb and they press power key with too much of force, like they are squeezing their mother in law neck. I had/have so many phones with power key and non of them weared off or get loose, even on two and more years old phone. Sure, some phones are deffected and therefore power button is ****ed, but, 90% its a user fault. Be gentle!

There is a plug in for "auto screen off" from developer. Fixes lock screen bug.

Cannot find the apps in this thread.. please post the link or attach the apps..
Thanks
ive used those apps
ive used those apps and i had some issues with the screen, like when i was in a phone call the screen turned off and i couldnt turn it on even with the power button.
i think the best way to keep this button alive is using the volume button to turn on the screen and turn it off using the power button or toggle in custom rom.
I use LMT Launcher and make 1 of my longpress buttons Key 26 (which is the power button). So I still use the power button to wake up the phone.
People like to slam their doors on cars, too. Most people are oblivious to this.

Or you can download a rom that has a various music control itmes for volume buttons.
Like play and pause. Stop. Next. Previous. Etc etc..

There are apps that use the proximity sensor to control music controls or even unlock the phone from one. Type on proximity or something and they should pop up, I know this is not what you are looking for but could be an option for now

There are some mods which let you reprogram your home button. You should check out Xposed framework. Also, you could go for a virtual bar which emulates home, menu and back button. There is a very nice app which is called something like "dynamic app bar" in the play store. Maybe you could use that app to create a special button for music controls.

Mod for power through volume button

Hey guys,
My friend spilled grand marnier on phone and now my power button doesn't work. I'm on a ROM that doesn't have screen wake by volume buttons, but is there a mod to put this in, or an app to use instead? I'm afraid to flash without a working power button and my wife's upgrade is in march so I'll have to tough it out till she gets her new phone and I take my incredible back. Thanks to anyone with any suggestions. I greatly appreciate it.

Something similar happened to me when it rained and the phone got drenched. The safest route is to use a hair dryer near the power button wait for it to dry out from the inside then try again. The contact button in the power strip doesn't work when wet.

Yeah I was going to but grand mariner is really syrupy and I think that's the major problem. This has been a problem for the past couple weeks, and been getting progressively worse. Now it won't work at all. Thanks though for the suggestion.

Try cleaning the contact off with a qtip and some rubbing alcohol

Changing Rom's can also be an option.
But you can also try using many apps to turn screen on or off by touching screen or waving hand over proximity sensor.
Eg.
I use:
PGM aka touch control:
Wake screen up with double tap or swipe up like BB10.
Screen off:
Program pie button to turn off screen.
Thank you both for your suggestions. I will try both of them.

Power Button issues

Looking for some help to change my power button to wake my phone and use all the other shortcuts in the power button menu. The power button still works but I don't have a physical button . I removed it from my phone due to the button sticking and random resets. I'm running Project X 3.9 .

Check the quickpanel settings. I don't think there is a power setting. Rom Toolbox may be what you need for getting to the power on/off. As for the pother options, if they can't be added through the AIO, then you might want to try an AOSP ROM. There is a tutorial on how to add things to the power section. Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2125196
Install this app. It will allow you to choose settings for the phone to turn on off, eg taking it out of your pocket, putting it down face down, etc. The E4GT power button is a known issue and the reason I got rid of mine. I didn't have this app at the time though. Hopefully it helps you.

I found this app that switches the volume rocker buttons to wake your phone and and gives you a shortcut to turn your screen off , reboot. I'm using the search softkey to power off screen.

It looks like you got a fix. But let me just add that you should also use nomoarhpowah. Which I highly recommend. Because your button may break completely one day and you want to be ready.
