Power on with AC - Kernel?/Rom? - Broken power button

I recently wasted completely my power on button (while changing the broken screen).
Fortunately, the phone wakes with Vol +/-.
I am wondering if there is any rom that still uses the vol+/- to wake the phone and it the ac adapter will power on a switched off phone.

Miui has a feature something like that. It can be wake with volume buttons.
And you can always use ADB for restart / reboot for recovery / reboot for bootloader.

Thank you for your answer but I was looking for a kernel that supports power on not just wake to unlock. Having a phone power off completely and when plugging it on AC to Power on.

[Q] myTouch 4g recovery mode not working!

First question: Not sure if it's the phone or the software but when I shutdown my phone and try to turn it back on by holding the volume button and the power button, it doesn't work. But as soon as release the power button, it decides to turn on. Can someone help me with this?
Second question: Does my phone need to be rooted to get Android 4.1.1?
NOTE* Currently on Android 2.3

1) Keep trying, you shouldn't have to release a button to turn it on. Are you holding the right buttons? Its down+power
2)Yes

First Volume down, then the power button, it should be on within 3 seconds.
Do you have ADB enabled? Plug your phone into your computer, if your computer recognizes it via ADB, come back

Help!

I would try pushing recovery img through adb. See if that solves the problem.

there are couple of options assuming you are rooted and with custom ROM
1. With help of volume wake up - with almost all custom roms
2. Double tap/swipe to wake up - There is app and few kernel supports that
3. if you using flip phone cover - use some app using proximity sensor

Hi. I have a solution for you. Connect your nexus to your PC with the data cable and hold down the volume down button as you plug it in. This will get you into the bootloader. Next get the fastboot drivers for your phone and open a command prompt where the drivers are located. If you are running windows, navigate windows explorer to where the fastboot file is located and hold shift + right click. Run the following commands:
fastboot devices
Verify that you see a device listed so you know that your phone has been detected. If successful, run this command:
fastboot reboot
This should get your phone to restart itself and successfully boot. I hope that helps. Cheers.

Power button problem

Hi all,
I have accident on sea where one wave splashed a bag where my phone was. After small problems with "laggy" buttons everything went fine and my phone worked correctly except power button. It doesn't react. I couldn't even restart the phone. And when my battery was used I coudnt turn it on. I tried to press volume up + power button million times, or all 4 buttons, and somehow I manage to turn it on again while still I was on vacation. Few times I have entered Android recovery screen, and Power button worked perfectly there (I managed to press power button and select reboot device). And after the phone turn on power button would usually works few minutes and then it would died again.
I have installed software for simulation of power button and it worked ok. This morning somehow I decided to turn off my phone, and I couldn't even imagine what kind of problems I will have to turn it on again. Whole day I am trying to turn it on, but it doesn't react. When I pull in charger then it shows regularly battery status (70%). I am desperate :crying:
I am trying to google or find any solution how to bring it ON again without power button, but without success
Is there any way how could I turn Samsung galaxy S6 Edge Plus without power button?
And what you think, is this some kind of software problem, and maybe some factory reset or flashing might help? Or it is more likely hardware problem?
Many thanks in advance.

Can anyone help me?

I have just found this article which might help me:
How to turn ON Galaxy S6 without using the power button:
When the Galaxy S6 or Galaxy S6 Edge is turned off, press and hold the volume button for a few seconds.
While holding the volume button, connect the Galaxy to a computer using a USB cable.
Wait for your phone to boot to Download mode.
Then press down on the volume rocker to cancel the operation.
After the operation has canceled, the Galaxy will reboot and turn on.
You have successfully turned on the Galaxy S6 without using the power button.

But somehow this doesn't work for my phone? First I wasnt sure which volume button should be pressed, so I tried with both in all combinations and still cant get into Download mode.
But I am glad that samsung had created some workaround if power button is not working. THis used to work on older models I guess.
Is there anyone who might know the way how to turn on phone without power button?

My phone had switched off yesterday night. I woke up on horror to find that the battery is totally drained and my power button had stopped working for a long time.
I followed these steps (I am not sure if it would work in your case, but it did in mine)
P.S. I had installed power button to volume button a long time ago in my phone, not sure if this is due to that app, but I removed the app within a day.
Plug the phone via USB to laptop
Hold the volume up button for a few seconds
Leave the volume up button.
After doing this, magically enough, my phone restarted!
