I ve been rhinking about the same problem for a week now there is annapp on the market for disabling the power menu but not that brilliant.
I think this is a big issue as its not just power also mute flight mode etc can be accessed..

I updated to ma7 from ljc I believe. I remained stock since I bought the phone. On the new update, at times after pressing the power button to lock my phone, now when I press the power or home button it goes straight past the lock screen and into my phone. A reboot fixed the issue and it seems to happen randomly. Is there a setting to make sure it always goes to my lock screen first?

Have an DInc2 with a broken power button (doesn't work/respond, but phone will turn on when receiving a phone call) and phone is out of warranty. Are there any alternatives to powering on the device such as a USB wake command (this phone is non-rooted) or any other suggestions?
You can get a new button on Ebay. I have not done it but have read about others successfully repairing the power button.

You can root it and get button replacement like saviour
You might be able to set volume wake up though I'm assuming you're stock and I haven't used that since I got the phone
Easy wake is what you'd want to enable widget locker has an option for it and so do some roms
Also you can set widget locker to lock on search long preas
Theoretically there are other options like external hardware
Button replacement is a good idea if it won't respond at all otherwise once you turn it off it becomes a paperweight

Hi there, i want to know if more ppl have this problem. Sometimes when i press the power button the device does not go into locking state, screen turns off but the screen off sound is missing. Also when i press power/home to wake the device it does not display the lockscreen. I thought i had a bad product so i swapped it with warranty and now my 2nd device also has this problem. I think its a fail in the exynos..... switching kernels didnt work either.

The only time I've ever had this issue is if I install the 23 toggles mod and try toggling the lock screen from there. It's never happened on the stock rom.

Hi All,
Every once in a while when I lock the phone, (press the power button to turn off the screen) the screen will go dim but not turn off. I can press the power button and it will go to the pattern unlock screen. Then when I press the power button it will switch between normal lock screen and dim lock screen. When it's dim, it has no function. When it's normal, I can unlock it and everything is fine, till I lock it again. Then it will be dim and not shut off completely.
The only way to get it to shut down after that point is to reboot.
I am rooted with CWM and have UVBMD1 in it at the moment.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Sounds like an app is causing a wakelock or something. Id uninstall any recent apps and see it it does it again.

Good thought, I'll give it a shot. I have loaded a few things in the last few days.
Thanks.
Hi! I'm having troubles with my power button it just doesn't work sometimes mostly when the screen is on I press it and it doesn't work, and I don't know how to reboot since I need that button for that too.. I think is software problem and not hardware since it on, y has one week and it appears just sometimes, I can't find the cause yet, could it be the case with magnet?
Thanks
I always install elixir widgets from the app store and create a reboot widget. It offers reboot,recovery,boot loader, and shutdown.
But if you shutdown, and the power button is not functioning, you'll need to wake the device via adb.
There probably is a dedicated app also.
