Power Button

on my note 2 had it for a few months the power button has stooped working when pressing wont shut screen off and hold it down for a long time for the reboot option to appear

Flash firmware again... (At least a try even though it seems useless, who knows?)
If not, send back to warranty...

PAC-MAN Rom

I've had this ROM for a while now and its great. I am by NO means a newb when it comes to flashing ROMs and all that good stuff. For some reason i can't figure out how to take a screen shot with this ROM. Can someone please fill me in on this, or am I just having a horrible brain fart that's lasted for a couple days now.. Thanks..

Note 2 does not POWER OFF

Hello there. Today I noticed a strange problem with my NOTE 2. It does not POWER OFF, instead it RESTARTS. I also tried pulling battery out and re-inserting. Without pressing power button, it automatically turns on. Checked the power button, its very much okay.
My phone is totally at STOCK.
Can someone tell me, what could be the PROBLEM?

possibly it could be hardware issue, Check if the Power button is holding or stuck or jammed

Hmm not sure at this point what could the issue if i was in your place would have backed up that data and did a factory reset to see if this problem still persists

Alsobtry cleaning battery connector just in case,
Hooe it helps

Any way to "remap" the power button?

Okay, so here's my problem and it seems to not be an uncommon one. (search showed others experiencing this and all the responses would say is that they brought it to Sprint and what not..)
The power button seems to like "lock" or "jam" when I hit it, so that either a) the power menu comes up or b) the phone completely restarts or shuts down.
I was thinking maybe there might be a way to remap the power button to like, a volume rocker switch and completely disable the power button. Any help? I can't exchange this phone or anything for 6 months (no TEP, contract) and honestly, I love this phone to death. Any help would be appreciated for my poor phone!

That would require a very complex hardware modification. So... No. By any regular standard, it can't be done. You can look up mobiletechvideos on google. They do power button replacements.

Can't this be one in keypad.kl or the equivalent file on this phone?

Remapping a button power button to the volume keys is not as simple as changing a few likes of code.
There is hardware in play. The volume keys are not connected the same as the power button. Both have different conditions. The power button will have different resistors and voltage regulators than the volume keys. Logic states that altering how the software uses these buttons could cause even more damage. Like sending power from the power button to a volume key could be detrimental because it may not have the same resistance leading to or from it like the power button.
Also, take into account that all three buttons do an entirely different task. They would logically not even be traced to the same spot on the motherboard.
At best, keypad.kl would be able to disable the buttons.

I had a similar problem with my Sprint S2. Replacing the failing power button fixed it. Are you good with a soldering iron?
Several ebay sellers offer the SPH-D710 Epic Touch power switch.
Or, you can ship it in for about $40 (including return shipping):

How hard is the soldering of this switch really? Has anyone tried it themselves?

Its not for beginners. But if you have some experience, patience and the correct tools, it isn't really hard. This kind of soldering requires a steady hand.

I've soldered chips in the original xbox, maybe just got lucky but would you know how it compares? I've been using gravity off for the past few months and can't wait to get rid of this phone.

It is much smaller than a mod chip. I have also done the same. Used to sell them and install them.

Are there sufficient instructions supplied with these replacements?
For now, I've been using an app called Gravity Screen which keeps me from needing to use the power button. I think I read about it here. It won't help with screen shots though, but there may be a solution for that as well.

There are a ton of screenshot apps out there that don't require use of the power button. I know it's not a solution but it's a work-around.
