@BrotherTree1 2 года назад

You're a bloody lifesaver mate (at least when it comes to salvaging a broken power button phone). Mine eventually got worse and worse until you needed to spam press 1000+ times before the power button worked and so I gave up on it. So these are great workarounds! Oh by the way, in order to do screenshots and other tasks requiring the power button, go to Settings and see if your phone has the 'Interaction and Dexterity' option menu and turn on Assistant Menu. You get a floating widget that you can open to perform various navigation tasks. Also, some phones require holding down BOTH the high and low volume buttons at the same time before plugging in the charger to open up Download Mode, eg. Galaxy A12.

The comments and your video help me out a lot. I had a app to turn off the screen but couldn't find out how to turn it back on once it off. The double tap is great I had to research how to enable for my phone model. I drop my phone Luckily the digitizer and touch screen volume buttons still works great. Power button slow to respond so this is my new method for now.

@SwitchedOnNetwork 2 года назад

Great to hear! Glad it's working again.... how do you find your Nokia 7.2? I had one for a while, but I found it to be absolutely terrible - so laggy and slow that I ended up just not bothering to use my phone for anything (ie. I got out of the habit, it was so frustrating) until I eventually replaced it. I tried every trick in the book to make it a useable device for day-to-day stuff, but nothing worked - I even started missing work calls because it was too laggy to be able to press Answer before they hung up! It seemed the hardware just wasn't up to the task of running the software. I foolishly thought the Nokia name would guarantee some sort of quality!

If you own a Samsung galaxy press both top and bottom volume buttons for 10 secs then plug in the charger for 5 secs while still holding the volume buttons.Then unplug the charger and leave the volume button at the same time.OS installation will pop up,cancel it with the bottom volume button and your phone will start.

If it's not worked for your phone, my only suggest I'm afraid would be to search Google to see if any similar methods might work for yours - if not, then it's either warranty repair, paid repair at a local phone shop near your, or new phone I'm afraid!

@MrFabtahiti 2 месяца назад

I dont have ddouble tap to turn off, but your video made me look for another solution... and actually to lock screen on mine I can put a widget on each of my screens in the lower center to lock, this way I dont need to use the power button too often (I can wake by finger print). My Huawei P30 is otherwise still a very good phone, I will try to not use the semi faulty power button too much now.
