Autoboot or Home button as power button (when phone is off) - Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've turned my S5 into a GPS unit for my car. It's running barebones CM13. My problem is that where I want to mount the phone I will not have access to the power button (I would be able to get to it for repair and debugging but not for normal use). I've been searching and trying to figure out how to make the unit auto boot on charge but was unable to find the playlpm or lpm files in my bin folder or anywhere else for that matter.
I was hoping someone could tell me how to either have the phone autoboot when charging or how to use the Home button as a power button when the phone is off (all guides I found were only able to do this when the phone is on which gives me no way to start the phone in the event the battery dies and it shuts off).
Edit: Typo

on/off switch problem

my phones on/off switch stopped working.
so i had to turn on the option for unlocking all buttons when device is in sleep mode so i can start the phone by pressing any button.
but one day i forgot to charge my phone and battery was discharged.
now i am unable to switch on my p3400 as power button is not working.

put the charger wait for yellow light
then hit the reset button
your phone is on
Nice idea..

[11 April][Q] Power Button Not Working

Power button does not respond at any point.
*EDIT:except after battery out for a long time, then power button WILL turn the phone on, but then continues to not function as per usual.
However, the phone automatically turns on as soon as the battery is placed in, so it's not dead at least.
Also can not get the phone to be recognised on either of two computers (one running Win 7 and the other Vista) always get "device has malfunctioned etc"
Have re-flashed a ROM from SD but same problem. If holding down the Vol Down on start up (putting the battery in) I can get to bootloader, hence the re-flash. But holding down both gets to the hard reset 'warning' screen, but it won't let me press Vol Up to actually do the hard reset.
All in all a frustrating problem which means I have to remove my battery to turn my phone off and have to use the option from Windows Menu to lock the device.
Any help with any of the problems is greatly appreciated.
Also Power Button mechanical function is still normal.
Many thanks.
Sounds like your end key has become faulty as well as your volume up button. Both of witch are common issues, especially the end button, but most peoples volume down button wears out first. This is do to the fact that the end/power key is in constant use from turning on and off the HD2 or from getting MAGLDR to pulled up a bootup for those running NAND Android. Also the volume keys take a lot of wear and tear from constant volume adjustment especially if you listen to alot of music on your HD2. Plus the volume ..down key takes extra wear and tear from being used to enter bootloader.
hello
hello vsem
Yes it does seem that way, however I have had teh battery out over night, when I put it back in this morning it DID NOT automatically initiate the boot sequence. But it did after I pressed the power button, so it must have read it to some extent?
Also when the phone is on I can change the volume up and down as per usual, its all a bit strange.
Any other way to initiate a hard reset other than that menu?
Thanks very much!
It seems you are having a hardware issue, try sending your device to the service centre.

[Help] one plus 6t not vibrating or turning on after being plugged up

So I have a rooted oneplus 6t that was doing quite well for a little while now but for some reason today it died when it was hooked up to a charger. When I unplugged it and plugged it back in it did its usual vibration to signify it was connected but then it showed a qualcomm crash error (died too quickly to see it fully but it was small so I at least saw some of what it said) now when I try to let it charge it doesnt vibrate and doesnt even turn on when I left it on charge for a good hour now and when i hold vol up +power,vol down + power,both vol +power,or just power for their respective seconds to get the phone to respond. Tried looking for a answer online but none are similar to what i am having atm. Also my computer wont even see it either while it's like this. I've tried other cords as well to see if it was a cord issue and wasnt it's been sitting on the charger since 10:55 am est. Help?
It usually just takes some persistence. Usually the power + volume up will force it off, and then power it back on does the trick, sometimes it seems like it's all three buttons (which shouldn't do anything?) . I've had a couple times I've been just about to give up when it finally boots back up to fastboot.
Volume Up + Power while turning on will boot to fastboot.
Volume Down + Power while turn on will boot to recovery.
Holding Volume Up + Power should force the phone to turn off.
Volume Up + Volume Down should put your phone in Download mode for the MSM Tool.
Make sure you hold the buttons much long than you think you should have too.
