No, if you deactivate the button it'll stop working, you can try to Power It up with Double tap to wake, but i really suggest a new Power button for your phone.

if the system file r misbehaving... factory reset wont solve that?

You should first figure out whether the issue is caused by the hardware or your ROM. If it is the power button itself, then there's an app named Scalefusion that can be used to diable the power button.

Can remap the button for volume down button and use it as a permanent power button.

Similar issue for me a hairline crack in power button so phone keeps restarting/unlocking screen and calling emergency services.
How would I change to another button to permanently be my power button? Also the directory above do I get that on phone settings somewhere or connect to pc and find it that way?
Thanks

I hate my Power Button

I know that I can remove the stylus to turn on my HD but is there any possiblity of using the dial button or home button to turn this phone on?
it's driving me nuts
no
no, never, no possibility
There is a registry entry to wake the HD from sleep at least by pressing one of the audio controls on the left. Maybe someone can quote the correct setting for it.

The home key and such aren't real hard ware buttons, the software determines their response, so if the phone is locked I'm guessing that software wont be operational.
What's wrong with the power button?

Is this to wake up the phone when off? if so that's what I'm looking for. I also need to use my volume buttons as volume buttons though. Will this registry change alter anything?

Not sure mate what is messing up... i tried same in my device and works perfectly... I also changed my power settings to turn off my device after 1 min of inactivity but still camera/call/end call buttons all are working normally.
if nothings helping i have created one app which turns device on or off. But it is not a cab( made it in offc ) so u need to copy it and create a shortcut in ur programs. and then link the camera button to it.
If still not working... remove the app and take the phone for soem servicing

Nitrogen/TP 2 question...

Hi All
Anyone have a fix for getting the key mapped (in Nitrogen) HTC side volume toggle to work with the screen off..?
It works OK with the screen on, but going to blank screen while listening makes it cease to work. I am using v1.2 Alpha 4, all else seems to work well (apart from the shuffle-play repeating some tracks).
Oh, locking keys in the general settings produces a message "your device has no key lock support".
Any insight appeciated.....
Cheers
Jabberoo
Anyone at all....?

Really...
I have a stock 6.5 SEA ROM, with Alpha 4. I have mapped the volume (side) toggle thru the options and it works just fine, with the screen ON.
Turn the screen OFF and it does nothing?
So, does yours work OK with the screen OFF..?
If so, i need to perhaps grab another copy and reinstall, or.........
Cheers
jabberoo
they will work with the screen off if i press the sleep screen button on nitrogen (the power looking button).
if i press my hard power button to sleep then i dont think the keys work

Oh OK, thx for the info.
It seems mine doesn't work like yours for some reason, my mapped volume buttons do not work when activate the blank screen button on the Nitrogen Player...?
I think i will reinstall it and see if it changes.....
Later.....
Tried a reinstall but no change for my device, the volume toggle still does not work with the screen off??

[Q] Fail to use screenshot function

I am using D802 version, and I am facing a huge problem on my phone, that' s I cannot use the screenshot function, when I press home and vol down botton together, it only shows the vol slider on the screen.
As I have rooted and delete some system apps already, so I wonder am I delete the wrong system apps to make the screenshot function gone, can anyone help me? Or tell me which system apps is related to the screenshot function? Thanks.
Lol you just might be not pressing fast enough.
When in doubt, use Qmemo.
Hi,I have already tried way and speed to press the power and volume button, but it still fail.....
Can anyone help me please?
Try to hold it little longer. Got this problem too at first and now it's working. Lol, I don't know what really the problem. But try it many times and eventually it will work. GL
slide up from the home button to the right... from there on the top you can choose to save your screen or directly share it you can also draw on it... pressing the vol down and power can get awkward on the g2 Qmemo is the way to go
Put your fingers on both buttons. Hit volume down first and then quickly after hit power. "Bah-dum" is how it will sound. Wait 1-2 seconds and screenshot captured.
I do have to try QMemo.

One word: QuickMemo. Did you not get the memo?
Thought I had this problem as well, but I also didn't press long enough. Though it's much more convenient as mentioned before to use QuickMemo.
Press them down at the same time and hold until you hear or see the screenshot. Works perfectly for me the key is holding it down long enough.
