Google Nexus 5 :: How To Disable Or Switch Functionality Of Power Button

Feb 17, 2014

I always press it by accident, I'd love to pop a the power menu (long press) instead of turning off the screen on a "standard" press.my Nexus 5 is right now unrooted, so I rather have a solution that doesn't depend on that, but if there is no other way, I'll do that..

Google Nexus 5 :: How To Disable Power Button Completely

Nov 27, 2015

Yesterday my power button died, but I was able to turn on my N5 somehow. after, I've enabled the double tap to sleep on the statusbar and on the lockscreen and volume buttons now wake the device, but I wasn't able to remap the power button and if I accidentaly press it, I don't know what will happen.

So, there's any method to completely disable the power button? I've tried with gravity box but there isn't any option to do this. How to disable the power button from the .kl files in system/usr/keylaout? And then, can I use the volume buttons to turn on the device when it's off or I have to keep it on forever?

Google Nexus 5 :: Power Button Stuck - Can Only Get To Fastboot

Dec 25, 2015

My N5 has a hardware fault where the phone thinks the power button is permanently pressed, so as soon as you try and boot it, it turns off again.

I am able to get to fastboot, by holding down the volume down button and power. But from there, I cannot boot to recovery or normal system boot.

I have been unable to fix this, and I really want to get some of my app data off. Is there a way of extracting a backup somehow from fastboot? I'm guessing no, as you can't access via adb through fastboot?

Google Nexus 6 :: Screen Does Not Turn On - Need To Hit Power Button

Feb 15, 2015

A lot of times when I pick up my N6 the screen does not turn on so I'm forced to hit the power button. What is the "trick" to get this to work? What do you normally do to turn on your screen besides hitting the power button? Or is that my only option...

Google Nexus 5 :: Volume Down And Power Button Sometimes Do Not Work

Aug 4, 2015

Yesterday the volume down button and power button started not working. This has happened before and usually if I turn it off and on again the problem is fixed. That's not working this time. The power button works about 2/3rds of the time and the down volume button won't work at all, it sometimes even lowers the volume by itself. Because of this problem, whenever I turn the phone off and on again it brings me to the fastboot page and puts my phone on safemode, which I can't get out of. I've tried taking the battery out and putting it back in, doing a factory data reset, and using recovery mode.

Google Nexus 5 :: Disabled Power Button But It Reboots Phone

Dec 15, 2015

I have a Nexus 5 with Android 4.4.4 and CyanogenMod 11. Like always, it had been working really find untill today, when it started to reboot and entered in a loop. I found out that it was because the power button was broken and with the lightest touch, it would activate. Searching through the Internet I found out that many people happen to have this problem. I tried to disable the power button editing a file that is found under /system/usr/keylayout/qpnp_pon.kl, where I had to simply comment the line where the power button was.

Now, if I click the power button it doesn't happen anything, like I was expecting, but after 30 seconds of clicking it, it shuts down and it reboots like if it was an internal error or someting similar that caused that reboot.Is it possible that disabling it the way I did could cause any type of problem that made it reboot after touching it?

I know it's an internal problem or something like this because when I touch it, it doesn't lock the screen or show the power menu, so the button itself is kind of "disabled", but it keeps causing this problem.

Google Nexus 5 :: Why Have Power And Volume Button Stopped Working

Nov 29, 2014

My nexus 5 after some random reboots on latest cataclysm rom started to have a problem that power and volume button were not working at all. I have done everything and even flashed it all back to stock with no luck. The power and volume buttons work perfectly in bootloader mode but dont work in recovery or in the rom.

Google Nexus 5 :: Why Doesn't Screen Turn On When Hit Power Button

Dec 31, 2014

Hitting the power button does not turn the display on. Actually nothing turns the display on. This began happening occasionally, for a few seconds at a time. Then it became a few minutes at a time. Now it is permanent.

What's truly odd is that the phone seems to be completely working otherwise. It rings, alarms go off, indicator lights flash. It connects to my car over bluetooth and if I plug in headphones and hit the play headphones' action button, music starts. If I hold the power button down, every 5s I get a little haptic feedback, and it appears to reboot if I hold power and volume up (or down, I can't recall), so I know the buttons are working.

I even have a suspicion that touchscreen digitizer is working because I think I've dismissed a few notifications by double-tapping (I'm on Lollipop). Also, I swear I have seen very fleeting, very dim views of the unlock screen a few times.

I should also add that I took advantage of Google's recent replacement policy lenience - this is a refurb I've had for a month or two.

I'm contemplating replacing the screen/digitizer on the theory that this is a broken screen. It feels like the backlight is broken. But I'd rather not spend the $$$ and time if the problem is deeper than that.

Google Nexus 5 :: Phone Not Waking After Pressing Power / Lock Button

Nov 4, 2015

I have problem with waking the phone with power/lock button. Every few hours (for my usage once a day) the phone doesn't wake after locking. I have to press and hold power/lock button for a few seconds to manualy restart it. I know that N5 has notorious problems with power/lock button but as far as I know its problem with phone not going to sleep. I don't have problem with that.

I noticed this after an update to M. I am on XtraSmooth 29.10 build with RacerKernel 28.10. DT2W dissabled. Also i have the usual problem of turning screen on after calls. For me the phone sometimes doesn't turn on until the other person ends the call. Do I need to replace the power/lock button?

HTC :: Nexus One Power Button Stopped Working

Mar 21, 2010

Did anyone else's power button stop working completely?I can turn on or off my phone or even wake it from sleep. I need to call my phone so I can answer and use it.I hope by tomorrow I get an email from Fedex with the information I need to send the phone back to HTC.

Sucks that I am stuck using Express repair. I wish I could swap the phone.Guess I need to find myself a cheap spare until I get my phone back.Honestly the ball should be able to activate the phone if the power button wont work. Phone manufactures never heard of a fail safe of some sort?

Huawei Nexus 6P :: Turn Off Without Using The Power Button

Nov 6, 2015

So, the 6P is a sodding big phone and I have fairly small hands.

Switching on to an unlocked state using the fingerprint reader is easy. Switching off requires the power button, which means wrestling the damn thing into a position where I can press the button.

I've looked at a few apps that switch off the screen with a shake or gesture, but these always result in a pattern request to unlock fully when turning back on with the fingerprint reader. Looking at this thread, it seems the Nova Launcher double-tap off function results in the same secondary security challenge when switching back on.

I assume this is because the third-party double-tap/shake/gesture event is only turning the screen off, not actually locking the device as the power button would.

Google Nexus 5 :: Phone Won't Switch On

Jul 11, 2015

I bought my nexus phone recently. The phone used to become a little hot and it became worse after the updates. I have restored it to previous version and also have changed the battery. This went on for a few more days. Now my nexus 5 doesn't switch on and neither does it indicate that the battery is charging even after I keep it plugged on for a long time. I've done everything possible. Even the service centre couldn't come up with the solution.

Google Nexus 5 :: Earpiece Call Button Started Going To Google Now Instead Of Dialer Dialog

Apr 3, 2014

For months I was happily using my Nexus 5 with a SoundID 300 earpiece. Pushing the call button went into a dialer dialog with voice prompts and responses. Suddenly a few weeks ago it started going to the Google Now (aka Google Search?) function (the one you get when you say "OK Google"). Although it will generally recognize the same voice commands as the dialer dialog, there are no voice prompts or responses, so if Google Now has crashed or decides to prompt on screen for "OK or Cancel", I have to get the phone out and look at it to see why it didn't dial.

Google Nexus 5 :: Switch Songs While Screen Is Off

May 16, 2014

One feature I miss from the Torch 9800 is the ability to switch songs without turning the screen on. You just simply hold volume up/down to go to next/previous song. When I listen to music while sleeping, I hate turning on the screen every time to skip a song. Even with the lowest brightness setting it is still bothersome.

Google Nexus 6 :: How To Automatically Switch Off Mobile Data According To GPS

Nov 17, 2015

I have Marshmallow and a Nexus 6. My wifi reception is very poor upstairs and I end up using mobile data when I sleep, unless I switch it off before sleeping, which can be a little annoying. Any apps, or a way of switching off mobile data when I've reached a certain GPS (or radio tower, or set a timer) location?

I've used Tasker in the past but had to root my phone for it to work. Not keen to root my Nexus because I'd like to keep using my mobile banking apps!

Google Nexus 5 :: How To Unbrick A Phone That Won't Power On

Dec 5, 2014

It won't even stay booted into recovery mode. The Google logo just flashes on and off continuously. It will occasionally show the boot screen, but will then stay on that forever. I cannot get into recovery mode without it resetting. I've even replaced the battery. The phone is unrooted with no custom ROMs. It is completely stock with zero modifications whatsoever.
