Hi guys, I hope I can type this coherently.
I have a g3 wizard that I have flashed many times over the last year or so. Lately the power button has stopped working. I can get the phone to turn on by plugging it in, and then holding in the camera/voice buttons and THEN hitting the power button. It goes into the rainbow screen, and I just soft reset via the hole on the side. At that point it is on and running fine, but the power button does nothing.
The power button does nothing at all unless I plug the phone in, and then only if I go to bootloader. It seems to work just fine to do that-which is what is stumping me. I thought the button was just broken. The charge/battery lights do come on.
For now I have it set to never turn off, so I try to make sure it doesn't run too low. The battery life seems ok. Any tips? I want to be able to put the phone to sleep again...
thanks
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.

Hello all,
I am new to the forums but I have been using the HTC Touch for a few months now, and would like some guidance about a few problems i'm having. First off, I am using the official 6.1 rom with sprint....
I am running S2U2 and am having a problem with my phone turning off while in my pocket. It seems the power off menu can be brought up if you hold the power button, even if S2U2 is running. This is very frustrating, is there anyway to lock the power button when S2U2 is running, or any other option?
Is there any edits that can be done to make S2U2 call the factory device lock? I couldnt find anything related to the lock in the registry. If there is, is there anyway to assign the factory device lock to the power button, so that when you blank the screen it auto-locks? I love this feature with s2u2, and with stock device lock it takes 3 buttons to do this...
Thanks!

The only thing that I could suggest that might help is to get yourself a good case for your phone that would protect the button from being accidentally pushed. I have never had this problem with my phone. The button actually has to be pressed and held to bring up the power off menu. Even when not in it's case, I have never had this happen; however, the phone is only out of it's case, when I am using it. In the case, there is even less chance of powering off the device.

The default device lock works just like S2U2, as it leaves only the power button unlocked. If you locked all buttons, how would you turn your phone back on??

The problem i'm having is that the phone actually powers off while in my pocket somehow....what i'm saying is that the phone not only "wakes up" from the standby mode, but also calls the shut down window and you can press the "yes its ok to shut down" button while s2u2 is running, something the stock device lock will not do.
It would be really nice if there was a slide type lock that was based off the code of the stock device lock.
Thanks for the replys
Find what the application is that launches when pressing the button and add it to the S2U exclusions list.
I have a verizon and my power button toggles screen off and on, so im not entirely sure, Is this a stock popup or a program you installed ? There is probably a registry entry somewhere that defines how the power button functions jsut as the button manager does for other buttons.

I understand your point, and am still wondering what it is you keep in your pocket with your phone that shuts it off!? Anyways, why do you keep referring back to the default device lock? S2U2 performs the same way, as it locks everything besides the power button. If the power button is locked, how would you wake up the device to unlock it ???
the power button has two functions, it blanks the screen if you press it, or it brings up the power off menu when you long press it. The problem i'm having is s2u2 doesnt prevent the power off menu from coming up, where as the stock device lock does. Thus, it is possible to completely power off the phone while the keys are locked.... of course I want to be able to wake the phone up with the power button, but i dont want to be able to turn it completely off.
And i'm not sure how it turns off in my pocket, except i usually carry it with the power button face down (phone upside down) and it must press against the bottom of my pocket...
The application that it is calling is the stock shut down menu, i'm not sure how I could add this to the exception list, as I dont know how to call it remotely....
Thanks again for the replies!
The title of this caught my attention.
It would be very nice to have a registry edit that will lock the device when powered off or on device wake up.
I use S2U2 and I am really not liking it personally, but it is better then the default setup currently I feel.
Got one of these and am really enjoying it except for one tiny thing. If I power it off with the power button, it will not turn back on unless I reset it. Has anyone else had this before? The button works, but just to turn it off.

You could pull the battery out or wait for the battery to die. Just kidding, sometimes the phone turns on automatically when plugged in

I'm pretty sure he asked how to get the phone ON without the power button, not OFF.
And no I don't think there is unless you open up your phone and do some improvised modding in there. If your power button is messed up though you should probably just get a warranty replacement.
For a single time turning on - remove the battery, plug in USB charger, insert the battery. Try several times if didn't work the first time.
When in Android - you can install an OS that supports trackpad wake, to wake the phone up with trackpad instead of power button. Default OS does, too.
For proper power button functionality - there's nothing you can do but replace either the button or the whole phone.
Hmm thanks for that Jack, I never knew about the USB thing. Never tried it on an android anyways so I wouldn't have ever tried it.
As another suggestion, you could try remapping your keys as well. Someone posted recently in this forum about remapping his power button to the camera button to bypass a faulty button. I don't think it will let you turn on the phone with the camera(I'm not sure anyways, I haven't done this), but it will give you power button functionality throughout the OS of your choice.
I hate to bump this but mine just broke and my dumbass decided to pull the battery because it wouldn't go to sleep =\
I'm going to try to get another one tomorrow but I need a phone in the mean time
Thanks in advance
