Hey guys. So my wife's i777 power button just died on her. And to fix it I am thinking of using the volume buttons (press up and down at the same time) to simulate as if I am pressing the power button. Is there any such fix ?

CM and AOKP roms have an option to wake the phone by holding volume down.
Also you could download Gravity Screen Off which is a pretty decent app for getting around this problem as well.

I use Vibrant, and can someone show me how to use volume button to wake my phone up from sleep mode instead of using power button? I wanna put the stress off the power button
You can use button remapper to change your power button to volume up or down and that volume as power button?
Haha its a button. Its what its there for.

I'm thinking of buying this phone but What if the phone hangs and can't pull battery off?
and what if u're flashing rom throught the recovery and it hangs?
Hold the power and volume down rockers at the same time.

I had no problem with it, if it hangs just pushing the power button for long time reboot the device.

This is what I do.
Same here, my phone wouldn't wake up, power, vol down for about 5 seconds forced reboot.
The manual says to force a reboot by holding down the Power key and the Volume down key.
Anyone know how /if that's different from holding down just the power key or the Power key and both the Volume down and up keys, two other things I've read mentioned?

holding the power key by its self doesnt always work. It just is a hard power down. The power + vol down is essentially the same as a battery pull.

Holding power and down volume key at the same time is a forced re-boot, and you'll automatically go into a power on situation, with the boot animations starting.
Holding just the power down button should only power off the device, and not re-boot, so you have to re-press the power button to start again.
Sometimes, though, if the phone recognizes the power down by holding the power button, once it turns off, it recognizes the power button a separate time, and you re-boot. This is actually an error, and "shouldn't" occur, but does because of the system resetting.
The original Inc had an optical joystick that you could press to wake it up. This phone doesn't have one...any other way to wake it up w/o pressing the power button?

Not yet. I'm sure once it is rooted and all a volume wake key hack will be provided.

Just curious, but what would that accomplish? You'd still be pressing a physical button, and from the reviews the volume button is the mushy one this time, not the power/lock button. Not trying to be a d**k, just wondering what's the advantage of using the volume key over the p/l.
Too bad there isn't a way for something like "shake to wake".

To me nothing. I just use the power button. Some people seem to like it though.
Dear Community,
I didnt use my tablet about 3- 4 months. Now I cant power it on. Battery is full. Display is working..
I tryed with the Samsung Galaxy TAB turned off, pressed and hold the VOLUME UP button, and then briefly pressed the POWER button. But I cant open recovery screen.

Hello @Vokko,
I put out the battery and waited about 2 days until it was empty but unfortunately it was not successful.
Iam still looking for a solution.
Have you tried holding the volume down button and the power button (keep both pressed, don't let power button go)?

If I connect with PC and hold volume down + power button I see "APX" in other devices.
Sorry, I forgot your model uses volume up + power button to access recovery. Unplug from computer, turn off then hold volume up and power button together (don't just press power briefly but keep it and volume buttons held down) to see if it enters recovery.
My mom's tablet is having some issues recently, but the most important issue is the power button. We thought its broken/doesn't work, but it somewhat worked when press and holding the volume up button when increasing the volume. It shows the Power options, same when press and holding the power button. Is there something wrong within the buttons? How can I fix it?
btw the other issue is the memory overflow restart issue when the tablet freezes, then beeps for a long time, and finally reboots. Any fix for that, too?
Anyone?
