hi, recently damp got into my xda mini s and disabled all the button, after a while it thought that all the buttons were pressed down, so i tried dryin the device out and it seemed to sort everything out except for the power button, the device thinks that the power button is constantly pressed in so it will either switch the screen off or ask if i want to switch the device off. i was wonderin is there any way that i can completly disable the power button and use another button like the camera button to be the power button instead? many thanks

Hey bit of a problem..
my power button only works intermittently. To turn the device on i need to press another hardware button and THEN the power button. If i just press the power button it wont turn on.
The power button works fine to turn it off.
I cant hard reset for soe reason (gps + ex + reset)..ive tried installing a new ROM but it hasnt fixed the issue.
Any ideas?
It is probably the hardware. any water damage? have you drop it before?
I looked for similar topic but couldn't find it,I can't use power button on my hd anymore,it got broken beacuse of pressing it very often during day to turn the screen on and off...I was wondering if there is an application to assign power button function to home key so when pressing it the screen turns off and on?
Hi, having the same problem, POWER BUTTON is defect/broken, it doesn't have a resistance when I push it in. I can still switch the device on and off, but I have to press the power button hard and the power button does not feel spring loaded any more.
Are there more people having this issue and is there anybody haveing it send for warranty repair already?
Mine is a German O2 device.
Thanks

I've got a XDA Mini S which I was given. It works fine, except the power button is faulty. I can press the soft reset button to switch it on, and any button unlocks the phone, but I have to just wait for the screen to time out when I'm done doing whatever I'm doing with it.
Is it possible to reassign the power button to another button, e.g. the voice recorder? I know it wont work to switch the phone on from powered down, but can I lock the phone with another button, maybe via an application or config tool?

try to use the AE button Plus for remapping hardware buttons! You can download it at http://ae.inc.ru/index.php
Accidentally dropped my nook color and now it's acting weird. When I'm using it the menu that appears on power button press appears and sometime the device will randomly shut off soon after. I think something with the power button broke when the device was dropped. Is there any way to map the power button to one of the volume bottoms and then turn off the original power button?
BTW I'm using cm7 with the latest nightly build.
Thanks
No, the button is hard wired and not changeable. You might find a way to change for shut down purposes, but not start up.
A couple of days ago my power button stopped working. I couldn't power the phone on or off, but the fingerprint reader still worked. Today I realized that a press of the power button still turns the display on and off. (This happens without engaging the fingerprint reader.)
I've already done a factory reset that made no difference but I thought I'd toggle the Cerberus "Block Power Button" setting to see what happens.
The button now works and the power off menu comes up when I hold the button down.
The button still will not power the phone on, but this is sure looking like a software problem.
Any Android wizards out there have any suggestions?
