Hi,
I've found no info regarding the subject above, actually i found but not answers
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=943243&highlight=disable+power+button
Need to disable the power button options when long pressed in lock screen. Having it awaken is fine when pressed, but i have often found the phone on silent or flight mode (& once it was switched off ) when inside a jeans pocket (mostly).
Is there a modification, not to pop the power button options when in lock screen ?
Its annoying...
Im wonder too.

When i have my phone in my pocket i constantly press the meny-buttun by mistake witch turns on the screen and drains the battery. Is it possible to have only the top button activate the screen. I dont know what SE was thinking putting both the wake up and the unlock function on a raised button...
You could set an unlock pattern, which makes it much harder to unlock accidentally. Couple this with a widget to turn the lock pattern on/off, then you can quickly turn it on when you're going out, and turn it off again when you're back home, and don't need it enabled.

I think that the best option is with only the power button...
For me...
Do you have any idea?
Thank You!
Id love to know about how to remap the buttons too. Im having a hate relationship with the powerbutton as its used to lock the screen. Its kinda recessed so i have to hurt my finger/ use my fingernails to actually push the button.
Any other solutions on how to lock the screen without actually using the powerbutton is also appreciated
i have the same problem here
i have a X1 and I can chose between any button to wake up or chose power button, I didn't find this option on x10 mini anyone found a solution???
thank you guys
I am looking for a way to prevent my phone from being turned off while in my pocket. I have the 2.2.1 update and have not experienced the automatic powering off, and am pretty sure it is me somehow pressing the power button then pressing off on the power options screen.
-Perhaps there is a way to change the power options screen so it requires a phone unlock before it appears?
-Port the HTC Hero lockscreen which prevents the power options screen appearing unless it has been unlocked?
-Change the power button behavior somehow?
I am quite new to this phone, and have yet to root the phone, but I will root the phone if I have to.
Please let me know if this is possible in any way!

Best advice I can give off the top of my head is to use quickboot which requires root. It requires you to go through a few menus before you power it off. Or you might try getting some sort of proximity sensor app, so that the screen won't come on while in your pocket.
Hi,
When doing a long-press on the power button of my Galaxy SII, after a few seconds, it powers off. This happens whether it is locked or not, and without asking for confirmation on the screen.
I'm using a Sena leather case, which presses on the power button. Each time I put it in the case, it powers off, then it restarts, and stays on "enter SIM pin code" screen. I may have discovered a new way to switch to Airplane mode but I'd like to avoid that.
Moreover, there is a distinction between :
- long press (2 seconds) : brings the power menu (Airplane / Reboot / Switch OFF)
- very long press (approx. 8 seconds) : switches the phone OFF
Also, these two keys are active even when the phone is locked.
Here's what I would like to do : disable both the 2 seconds press and the 8-seconds press when the phone is locked
I found some threads about key remapping applications or direct edit of keymap files, but none of them were successful.
Could someone point me out an application / a way to achieve that ? Does someone know if it's ever possible ?
(For now, the only workaround I found is a hardware one : disassemble the phone and sand the power button to reduce its height, so that it stays inside the casing)
Thank you in advance. Kind regards
My old HTC Hero used to do that too, which leads me to believe it is something hard-coded into Android itself. I'd suggest there is nothing much you can do, but wait and see if a dev replies or something.

I don't know if it's possible but if it is it has to be something in the kernel.
The 8 second power off function works the same way as the on on your PC and is used if your phone stops responding so I don't see a way to disable it with an app because it's ment to turn the phone off even if an app freezes your whole phone.
Hi,
If the 8-seconds press is hard-coded, I think precautions should have been taken to avoid unwanted power off each time you put the phone into a leather pouch !
On iPhone f/ex, you have to press both power and home button during several seconds to trigger hard reboot, which makes unwanted action hard to happen unexpectedly.
It's always frustrating to encounter such a basic problems on a $600 phone using the latest state-of-the-art technology, which powers off each time you put it into your pocket ;-)
I hoped some developer has found a way to workaround this. I googled a lot, but I didn't find anything.
So, if the power button features are hard-coded, the only solution may be to hard-remove the entire power button
Problem solved.
I disassembled the phone, I removed the power button, I carefully grinded it to reduce its height, and I put it back into the phone.
(For those who may already owned an iThing, disassembling a Galaxy SII is very easy, it's a matter of seconds with a good old mini-screwdriver; proceed carefully when grinding, because if you reduce the height too much, the buttom may break)
Now my power button height is just below the casing. It's still possible to press on it with a finger, but it does not press by itself when putting the phone into my leather pouch.
Thank you for explaining it I had an issue with my S II and it went to service to solve it, they totally changed the board and was shocked when I found the short press on power button doesn't show the power menu I used to have and it switched off immediately!
I've got to return it to service and your post made me thinking it's a simple issue! It won't take time

I too would like to know if that is possible
Ive found out that its possible to disable the WAKE function for the power button. This will disable the power menu, but you can still hold the button down for like 6sec and it will shutdown... :-\

Sorry to revive a dead thread, but I want to be able to wake/sleep my phone with the power button, but don't want anyone to be able to access airplane mode or turn the phone off. I have a HTC Desire S, and when that's locked, the power button does absolutely nothing except switch the screen on, which is what I want to happen. As the S3 currently functions this is a maor issue for me, because if anyone finds/steals my phone, there is nothing turning on Airplane mode immediately, at which point my phone becomes unrecoverable.
This seems like a limitation/oversight of touchwiz, is there no way at all I can get the S3 to behave like the Desire?

It's not like there's something stopping them from turning it off (hold the button, it's wired in the hw, impossible to disable) or simply taking out the sim card

It's wired into the hardware? Are you sure about that? The power button on my HTC does absolutely nothing if you press the power button (for any length of time) while the phone is locked. In my opinion it would be software that controls the function of the button.
You make a good point about the sim though - that an the battery being removed would stop me from finding it.
However the main thing I'd like to disable is the airplane mode function from the lockscreen as it literally takes no time at all to do. At least the other methods require a little bit more effort, and the scum that steal phones aren't usually known for their intelligence, so I can always cling to the hope they won't think about taking the back off (since so many phones nowadays have inaccessible guts) to remove the battery or sim, at least not immediately.
Is there anyone who can help with this?

I don't think it's any more difficult to steal the phone by diabling the powerbutton functions, but I would still really like to find a way of disabling this function. Although it's meant as an easy way to enter reboot, shutdown and turning on/off misc functions, I don't mind unlocking the phone to do the same things through the slidedown menu.
I just don't like the fact that the phone actually can be turned off by holding a button down for x-amount of seconds, or even open up a menu that lets anyone change the status of the phone. When it's locked it is locked to prevent accidental changes when the phone is in my pocket AND to prevent people from accessing any options, unless they pull the battery and boot to download or recovery.
The powerbutton and the home menu should be allowed to wake the phone up, so that you can read widgets/missed events/the time or whatever, but never let anyone do anything before they enter the correct pattern/password or whatever security is enabled.
Hope that this can be fixed. Been searchin around for weeks after this and would really like to see someone assist us with this issue.
Its a build not a fix wait for SGS4 and see if its been added .
Personally if i had to enter pinlocks as you suggest i would not want this phone .
Development sometimes putting up a large bounty or donating a SGS3 may kick start a modification .

Guys i was in my settings a few minutes ago and i came across a feature which enabled me to open up my notifications by just tapping the screen so i enabled it and went to the homescreen to test it! Upon tapping the screen the phone started maing a beeping noise and a blue line started scrolling continously downward on the screen! I cant turn the phone off ! I only seem to be able to reboot it which doesnt help! I needto power the phone off i assume and then maybe do a hard reset??? Advice needed please
anyone?
What setting did you access I don't believe anybody will be able to help if we don't know where you went and what you changed. The things you mention are very vague and don't really paint a picture of what is happening.
Also if you want to turn the phone off without using the on screen settings just hold onto the power button for about 10 seconds it should turn off, after that hold power, home button, and volume up to go into recovery to reset or what ever it is you please.
Also is it showing you an X and Y axis? If so then you just go into settings, developer settings, show screen updates and turn that off the grid should go away. I am not sure what your issue is but that seems like the most likely option.
