Broken Power button

With a broken power button, is there any way I can get my xda2 into bootloader mode so I can change the ROM?

i doubt it unless you take it apart and shortcurcit the to points that the powerbutton is connected to
would prob be easier to put in a new button then i guess

I may be wrong but doesn't the power button actually put the phone into suspend mode?
Would it work to map the "suspend" function to another button (like the calendar button)? Or does a hard reset only work with the usual specific hardware buttons?

no it's not the only function
clicking on a suspece software shortcut
while reseting the device dont result in a hardreset

I have a solution. i have the same problem. Get a paperclip, and insert it into the hole where the power button should be. Slide it in until your device turns on/off. Then hold it there carefully, and press and hold the ACTIOn key and the reset button.
Works for me!

Remap power button to PPT, possible?

Hello,
I hate where designer put power button (on a side), each time I power up a phone I inadvertengly also slide keyboard, it also not raised. Can I remap power button somehow for PTT button so phone will wake up and go to sleep on push on PTT button rather then Power button itself?

try AEButton plus.

Touch HD Hard Reset

The proscribed method of pressing both up and down volume bar (while PDA is off) and then briefly pressing the power button doesn't produce the desired result.
Is there a programatical way of achieving this, please?
TIA

Try this, it may work:
Touch HD Clear Storage
You can also use Clear Storage to reset your device back to factory default settings.
1. On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap All Settings.
2. On the System tab, tap Clear Storage.
3. Enter “1234” and then tap Yes.

I would check the buttons work then. I have used this method and it does work. Turn the phone off, long press on the power, yes to turn off. Then hold both volume buttons down, press the power button (keeping the volume buttons pressed).
When the boot screen appears you can let go of the volume butons.
Or use the clear settings above ;-)

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I think the trick is to BRIEFLY press
the power button while keeping both
up and down volume buttons pressed.

Turn it on from standby with another button

Hi guys,
Is there a way to turn the device on from standby with other than the power on/off (standby) button? If it's possible by using AEBUTTON+ ,what are the settings? For example I would like to switch on when i press (or press and hold) the volume buttons.

nexus-one-google-1 have password at start up

hi i want remove password nexus-one-google-1 please help
hav this hard reset?

find it:
1. With the phone off, hold the Volume Down button and press and release the Power button.
2. You'll boot into the menu you see above with the little skateboard guys. Select Clear Storage from the list by pressing the Volume Down button.
3. Press the Power button, and confirm by pressing Volume Up.
4. Sit back while your phone reboots in its virgin state.
