my power button does not turn on, or shut down my phone, the only way for me to turn off my phone is to take out my battery, but if i slide the keyboard down just the right way when the phone is off, it will turn on by itself. Other than that the phone works fine. Anybody have any ideas? is it possible to remap the power button to another button? Thanks.
Well, you have the "on" part figured out. There are free apps that can shut down the phone. Here's one:

hello...
my on/off button is defect. so i cant switch it on. Only via reset
can i configure another button for reactivation from standby? because that does not work anymore too
thanks for help
not sure about hermes but my phone turn on at the press of any key unless i set it only to turn on by on button in buttons in settings
Go to the settings, then to system, then go to the keylock options in there and set it to not lock at any time.
Works with any key, but its not really a good idea to have that in your pocket.
I would say you should get the button repaired instead.
Thanks a lot guys...
does someone knows how i can switch off the phone? everytime i want to swithc it off i have to push the reset button or do a soft reset :/ i thin k a regular shutdown would be better...
i friggin have the same problem. My girl dropped my phone and the power button is messed up...
I press the camera button to turn on tho.. i cant turn off unless i let it sit and it does it itself.

Hi,
I am struggling why HTC tagged a button as power on/off, if in fact all hard buttons turn the phone on...
Anyhow, any idea hot to change that and only make the bottom right button active for switching the HD2 on ?
Very annoying to have the phone switching on in bags or pockets constantly. I figure that if only one of 5 button had the ability to turn on, it would happen 5 times less...
Thanks
Well MY HD2 can only be turned on using the power button... I've tried pressing all the other buttons but they will not turn it on.
I've got stock ROM v1.66.
Brgds... /Tubgirl
Funny, also stock rom 1.66 here and all buttons work for power on...
bye
Sven
Yes that's correct if you mean "Standby modus". My phone will not power on by pressing other buttons than the power button. I'm using the 1.66 stock rom.
hmmm... any registery guru around to work this one out ?
For me too with the 1.66 stock rom. All buttons turns on the screen. Is there any way to turn on only with the power button????
Up,
please somebody help
well if you didnt have a power button you wouldnt be able to turn it off, regardless of which buttons turn it on again
there used to be an option in the settings menu on my omnia to do this but I really cant find it on my HD2, maybe some other users knows more about the location of this setting. (PS I was sure it was in the Lock or the buttons settings panels.)
Can't find much in the standard WM settings.
I'm also interested in a solution that the screen does NOT turn on by pushing any button.
Nothing find yet...
so what would happen if you're talking to someone and the screen goes into standby? If you want to get out of standby...you'd have to press the end/power button...thus ending your conversation in the process?
the way i understand it is that the HD2 uses the proximity sensor to determine when to turn off the screen during a call.
so i can't imagine a scenario in which the screen would go off during a call and never come back because the moment i pull the phone away from my ear, the screen lights up!
Aren't people confusing standby with turning the phone on and off?
The power button is the only button that can Power on the phone from Off....
However any of the buttons can bring it out of standby...
Bit like my TV... if in standby any button will turn it on, but if turned off only the power button will turn it on.....

I'm sure we all know what the OP meant.
My problem is that, if you put your phone on speaker mode, it'll negate the proximity sensor altogether. If my understanding is correct, proximity sensor is only activated when you're using the earpiece and not the speakerphone. So if that's the case, if I were to talk through the speakerphone and the screen goes into standby after a minute or so, how would i bring it out of standby? If all i have left is the power/end button, then that will end my conversation. People who use the speakerphone a lot to talk will know what i mean...

Totally agree with you! I use this all the time, or even a bluetooth headset...
Probably why HTC didn't implement it like that and any button brings it out of stand by...

Nah... that's nonsense. If HTC had been clever enough to allow bring out of standby using only one button, it would also have been clever enough to program "don't end call when power button used to bring out of standby"...
Anyhow, I personally would love to stop having my phone switching on constantly just because any random object/coin will hit any of the hardkey.
No disrespect, but this has gone off topic. I get your points, but the question is whether/how can it be achieved, not whether or not you would personally want it.
And up...
Thanks
Hi guys, I'll go direct to the problem.
My power button is broken. I can still use it to open/close the phone and lockscreen/wake the phone up. The problem is its very sensitive. One time it went bootloop - (not bricked) like the power button was held down (even if Im not touching it). Sometimes if I just brush my finger on top of it, or tap very very gently (without it clicking), my phone would restart. There are even times when it shuts down just by me putting it down on the table.
Is there anyway I can at least disable the power button while the phone is turned on? (I can use the home button to wake, and a widget to lock).
Or is there any quick and easy way to fix the button (without requiring any technical knowledge on electronics)?
Thank you very much to whoever can help.

Either pop the button out & fix it back in again or you will need to get it replaced
Looks like I'll just have to buy another phone.
I hear something moving inside when I shake the phone.
Hi,
I'm looking for a solution to stop the phone from turning on the screen when the home button is pressed?
Many time I take it in my pocket I'm hitting that button and the screen is turning on.
I'd prefer that it only turn on when I click the power button.
I think I have to go in : "/system/usr/keylayout", but after I don't know what to do.
Any help or suggestions?
