This is my first post
This is not a permanent solution . This is for those both users who are on stock and custom ROM
For custom ROM users:
To off the phone double tap on status bar it must be enabled by default
Go to settings .click on search and type wake up device and select and tick it
From now onwards you will be able to on the device by pressing volume button
For stock ROM users (no root)
Download app volume unlock power button from playstore
Enable it and you will be able to use volume button to unlock . it has no significant battery drain
For custom ROM user, a much better solution is to flash a custom kernel.. For example, Clarity.. It supports gesture wake like double tap to wake, swipe to wake/sleep..

So the problem is when i go into certain apps and then
A) Press sleep
B) Quit (by pressing back button)
The soft-key/button backlight on Samsung Gio stays on BUT the screen will go off if i press sleep.
-The button-backlight DOES NOT turn of even when its been in sleep mode foor an hour
Any help will be Appreciated
THANK YOU
Solution!
Rooted devices and install GioKlight app, or open "/sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness" file on text editor and replace "255" to "0" for advanced user
Do you use stock rom?
Or a custom rom?

Issues after update.
When having any issue after an update.
Anything from battery drain to the pin lock numbers showing up as white squares has been known to be fixed by this.
First:
Boot the device into the android system recovery menu
Press and Hold the volume up key, the Home key and the Power key. When you see "Recovery Booting" in very small blue text at the top of the screen you may release those keys
The Android robot will appear
A dos-looking menu will appear (note that your touch screen is disabled in this menu)
Using your volume keys as directional keys and your power key to select the desired option.
Highlight the option that states "wipe cache partition"
Press power key to select
the option "reboot system now" should then be highlighted; select that option using the power key
i done it but still have the same problem !

I did this steps and still have the same problem
Are you using a replacement battery? Not all are nfc capable. Also a case could block the signal, but you should still see the options.
Hello,
Recently at my xperia m my power button was broken and I can't reboot it/enter the power menu(well actually I can with adb or other apps but I don't want that).
Is there a way I can remap the camera button to the power button(when I'm saying power button I mean the default sleep/wake and the long press menu from which you can shutdown/reboot your phone)? I searched at google too but I didn't find anything useful for xperia m.
My phone is rooted with cm 12.1
Hope you can help me.
Maybe with Xposed Additions?
I don't have Xposed though, so I can't try it for myself and therefore can't know for sure this has everything you need.
Anyone knows this for sure?
Well this is a little late but you never know.
My power button broke down to and my phone was off, with a rooted custom rom and twrp installed.
I got it booted by using fastboot. For this, only volume+ key needs to be working.
Once booted, I set display timeout to a large value, just to make things a little easier while working on it.
Then I used adb to reboot into recovery.
In recovery, I flashed Xposed.
Rebooted back into system.
Installed XPosed Additions Xposed module, enabled it and rebooted once again.
Then using XPosed additions, mapped to volume+ button to take on the functionality of the power button.
( short press while screen off = power, long press while screen on = power menu).
Seems to work perfectly. I'm not turning my phone completely off anywhere in the near future though, because
booting it back up would be through fastboot again I guess (just to boot, no to install everything once again).

Wow thanks, been using GEM Xperia xposed which reboots the phone when you use wake up with volume keys after a reboot.
EDIT: Help! It doesn't work, and seems complicated. How do you set it up?
EDIT2: it's pretty much activator on iOS. The power thing Works great for me, but I can't get the power menu to trigger... But I am glad to see the meda next and back working with Youtube backgriund playback
My map in xposed additions is as follows (my camera button is gone as well, so my options are very limited )
Volume up:
-Lock screen
--click : checkbox unticked
--long press: media next
-screen off
--click: power
--long press: media next
-screen on
--click: checkbox unticked
--long press: power menu
Volume down
-Lock screen
--click: checkbox unticked
--long press power
-screen off
--click: checkbox unticked
--long press media previous
And then another xposed module to lock my phone by double tapping status bar, which does not work in the lockscreen (therefor volume down-lockscreen-long press = power)
Running on StryFlexa Marshmallow rom
Hey Everybody
Currently running the newest version of PixelRom on Android 8.0.0 and was wondering if there were any flashable zips to add a few feature I'm really missing:
Advanced Power Menu Mod (That lets you reboot into recovery)
Using the volume buttons to change songs while the screen is off
Toggling Torch/Flashlight by holding the power button while the screen is off
If there is absolutely any way for me to add these to this rom I'll be ecstatic
Thanks in advance, love ya XDA
@jimbub: these features will come, so be patient...
For booting into recovery: look in devel.options, if you can enable terminal, or install a 3rd party terminal.
Can anyone know about any kernel or rom which support double tap to unlock in Nextbit Robin?
I broke unlock button and now it works often not always,
Lineage OS supports volume up / down to wake the screen. Go to settings --> buttons --> then under "volume buttons" make sure "wake device" is toggled.

Thanks, I am already done this method by flashing CrDroid. But It will be perfect if found any kernel for double tap
