How to Restart Your Android Phone with a Faulty Power Button
1. Restart Your Android Phone
The first thing you should do is to reboot your phone. If it's still on, connect it to a charger or computer using a USB cable, have someone call you, press the Camera button, etc. All of these actions might 'wake up' the device and allow you to use it again.
However, if the phone is completely powered off, the situation becomes much more complicated. You could try installing ADB on your computer and use commands to turn on the device.
2. Use alternative apps for the power button
Once the phone is powered on, download apps from the Google Play Store to use the device without needing the power button.
Power Button to Volume Button (Switching power button to volume button)
As the name suggests, the Power Button to Volume Button app allows you to use the volume button instead of the power button. The downside of the app is that it drains battery quickly and is only suitable for phones running Android version 3.0 and above.
Gravity Screen: Automated Screen Control
After installing this app, your phone's screen will automatically turn off when you put the device in your pocket or on a table. And when you take the phone out, the screen will automatically turn on, so you won't need the power button anymore. The app is designed for phones running Android version 2.3.3 and above.
Proximity Actions: Gesture-based Control
This app operates based on sensor technology to help you control your device through gestures. You can wave your hand over the sensor to lock and unlock the screen (the proximity sensor is placed next to your phone's earpiece). Additionally, you can also wave your hand to play or pause music and apps. The app is suitable for phones running Android 4.2 and above.
KnockOn: Tap to Activate or Lock
KnockOn: Tap Twice to Lock or Unlock allows you to tap the screen twice to lock or unlock your smartphone. However, some users complain that the app isn't very effective for their devices. This app is designed for phone models running Android 4.1 and above.
3. Repairing the Power Button
Even though you can lock and unlock the screen using apps, it's still advisable to repair the power button to utilize functions like screen capture, resetting the device, etc. Contact the manufacturer or visit a repair shop to fix a malfunctioning power button.
