Hello,
Somehow, my Samsung Galaxy A3's powerbutton stopped working, so i can't turn it on or off. Luckily the phone is powered on right now, and has been for 2 weeks, as i am to scared to turn it off, or take the battery out.
But my question is, is it possible to remap the buttons to change the powerbutton to another key? I know it is somehow possible with root, but I can't root my phone as I need to turn of the phone.
pleas help

Hi all,
My XDA IIs works well before. But few days ago the Power button doesnt work properly, it can turn on the phone, hold to turn off the back light, but I can't use it to turn my phone screen off like before. Anyone has same problem ?
Can you see any part of the screen? It might just be that the backlight adjustments are set too low when the unit isn't cradled. You might be able to see the screen in daylight.. or maybe it was inside your home. I forgot where I was at when it happened to me. In anycase, if you can see a bit of images on your screen, go into the Backlight properties and change the setting to your liking.
Good luck..
The problem is i can just press the power button to turn off my phone BEFORE (the screen is completly off), and NOW it doesnt work at all ! When my phone was off, I can press the Power button to turn it on, or when I hold it for few seconds the back light will be turned off, but press once to turn off. I dont know why, if somthing wrong with the Power button it should be doesnt work at all, that's mean i cannot turn on my phone as well. But other functions of the Power button are still work well, except the 'Turn off' :roll:
power off doesn't work anymore
I have the same problem here. I can't use the power button to power off my qtek 9090!!
i can use the power button to turn my pda on and to switch the background light on and off - so the "hardware side" of the power button is working.
however, i can't use the power button to turn off the device. it's very annoying, because i can't put it in my pocket after finishing a call :-(
this should be some sort of a software problem - so i hard resetted my device (a couple of times) - but that didn't help!
can anyone help?
thanks,
lorenz
the ba doesn't turn off it is always on staand by mode. ->settings -> system -> button lock
this will stop any missed call because when the ba is in standby the power button is the only one to work
power on is no problem. i can't put my BA into standby mode. if i press the power button while the BA is turned on, nothing will happen. the screen will stay on, the background light stays on.
i have no way to put it into stand-by with the power button!
try this and see if it works. it's a software app that wil rest, shut down, and turn the screen off. just copy it to your BA temp directory and install it.

power button problem
Does anyone solve the problem???
Had the same problem...
I had the same problem going on for about two weeks or so...never changed anything and it went away all by itself.
The problem has not come back now in over 4 months.
Sure would love to know what the problem was tho...

Power Off does not work
Add my name to people with this problem.
The only event I can link it to is this: I deleted my Motorola Bluetooth headset and installed a Logitech headset. I noticed the problem (can't turn OFF with POWER BUTTON) soon after that.
same problem for me ..... someone must know !!!!
I think it is a hardware problem. The contact is not making cleanly. Disassemble and spray time, perhaps.
It's a standard push switch, easy enough to replace, I occasionally list themon ebay but any phone repairier should have them in stock.

i had same problem yesterday afternoon, but it is ok now. recovered by himself
Write again in two weeks and let us know if it is still healthy. In my case, anintermittent problem became continuous.
Can't turn the screen on after pressing power button
I have a problem with my Bell Atrix. After pressing power button to lock the screen, i can't wake up the screen up by pressing that button again. Could anyone tell me how to fix it pls.
Well... before realizing the problem was the power button/switch I read another posts about batteries, so i bought a brand new one and let the phone charge.
The thing is that the battery is at 100% and the only way to make the phone turn on is by taking off and puting on the battery and most of the times it works, not always. Then i get to the home screen and it turns off by itself. Only once i could keep the phone on without shutting down automatically. If I try to turn it off or on by the power button it does not respond. Any Suggestions?
Pls, not a single answer...
I cannot use my phone my friends, throw me some help pls

You can't do much if your power button is broken, sorry. There is no way you can power up your phone
So here's my problem, I can press the power button to start up my touch pro 2, but after the OS loads, it doesn't function to turn off the screen or to power off my device. So now, it just goes dim after 30 seconds but still stays lit and the only way to turn the phone off is to pull the battery. What can be done?

Witch rom do you use? What kind of cabs did you install? Other tweaks? Please be more specific so we can help
Stock Tmo Win6.1 rom. Nothing installed really, this problem was present ever since the fresh install. It can't be physical because the power button is recognized prior to OS boot, and I can get into the bootloader fine as well.
Maybe there is some software that can map the keys properly?
Try this program and see if it solves you're problem. I will let you remap you're hardware keys.

That program doesn't let me do anything with the power button. It doesn't even let me assign a power button FUNCTION to the end button. I don't know what's going on.
There are different restart programs you can install that will include an app. You should change the times for your screen to turn off as well. If there isnt' water damage take your phone in to the provider and you should be able to get a new one.
Hi everyone,
I'm posting this thread because I'm heaving a problem with the On/Off switch of my phone... Since yesterday it doesn't work anymore, so when I push it down, nothing happens...
Yesterday, the power-controll menu (the one who appears when you push the swith down for a couple of seconds) appeared now and then, and my phone randomly switched on and off, so I'm thinking this may be a hardware issue...
My problem here is that I bought the phone in a store that's far away from where I live, so I can't just go and bring the phone for repair... But in the meantime I can't turn my phone on... The only way I can turn on the screen is when I connect it to a power source or when someone calls me.
I've searched the interwebs for software that may help me (something like a button remapper, so that I could use the central button for example as on and off switch) but that's only for rooted devices, and mine isn't...
Any propositions ?

I think his phone was on, so the problem was that he couldn't turn the screen on.

Well actually yes, the device was on but it turned off because of the battery... Luckily, I managed to restart the device by plugging it into the power source and remove/putting back the battery several times...
I noticed now that my battery is draining really fast, the phone can't hold a day of normal usage
This has happened to me before where my phone would just turn off and not turn on until i take the battery out and put it back in. When i put it back in it goes on by itself and shows the samsung logo then nothing happens. The same would happen if i keep on taking the battery out and putting it back in. I read somewhere if you bang the side of the phone where the power button is it will fix it and i did that and it worked. Now this time it isnt working so i dont know what to do...
My best guess would be that its an issue with the power button being internally stuck. I had the same issue and fixed it by basically trying to pull out the button the get it unstuck then i got the app called easy touch android and I don't use my power button.

OK so is the phone failing to boot? Or is it just always turning on

i was able to fix it. i banged the side where the power button is and now it works. unfortunately thought if i press the power button the phone will go in and out of sleep and then restart because it thinks its being pressed when it really isnt. so i dont know what to do about that now
Well if you have a little hardware skills you could probably fashion a new button onto the sensor

i popped the power button out and i put it to the side so now its fine. I dont really need to use the power button. Paranoid Android has a feature to put the phone on sleep and I can easily go into recovery using rom manager
banging it is a temporary fix. ultimately i soldered off the power switch completely and replaced it
i wouldnt be able to do that aha
Had the same problem with my Samsung Infuse. Had to replace the power switch, PITA

i didnt think i could either for the record. try an old device first
I dont have an old device. Im hoping i can keep this working until i can get an LG G3. Right now I cant get it to turn on. I have to keep trying to turn it on and hope that i get lucky that it doesnt think the power button is being pressed
