Power Button Not Working? Fix It Without Repair

Don’t worry if your power button has stopped working — you can still use your phone normally.

If your power button is not working, damaged, or hard to press, this app gives you a smart alternative to control your phone without using the hardware power key.

No need to repair your device. No need to struggle with a broken button.

Core Features

Lock Screen Without Power Button
• Instantly lock your phone screen without pressing the power button
• Fast, smooth, and reliable

Use Volume Button as Power Button
• Press volume button to lock screen
• Reduces usage of physical power key
• Helps extend button life

Disable Faulty Volume Buttons (NEW)
• Set volume buttons to "No Action"
• Prevent unwanted volume changes caused by damaged buttons
• Ideal for devices where volume buttons auto-press or malfunction

Open System Power Menu
• Access your device’s default power menu
• Perform actions like:
– Power off
– Restart
– Emergency options

Gesture-Based Wake (NEW)
• Shake your device to wake the screen (on supported devices)
• Works even when your phone is locked
• Smart detection for better accuracy and reduced false triggers

Improve Gesture Reliability Mode (NEW)

Some devices restrict background activity, which may stop gesture features like "Shake to Wake" from working properly.

Enable this option to:
• Keep gesture detection active when needed
• Improve reliability across different devices
• Ensure consistent performance when your phone is locked

When enabled, the app may show a small notification to maintain functionality.

✔ Fully optional
✔ Can be turned ON/OFF anytime
✔ Only active when gesture features are enabled

Permissions & Privacy

This app uses Accessibility Service (BIND_ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICE) only to:
• Lock the screen
• Open system power menu
• Monitor volume button presses for screen locking

Additionally:
• Foreground Service (when enabled) is used to maintain reliable gesture detection for features like Shake to Wake

We do NOT collect or share personal data.
Your privacy is fully respected.

Important Notes

• Volume button actions work when screen is ON
• Gesture features depend on device hardware support

Android system does NOT allow apps to turn ON the screen using hardware buttons directly.

Please ensure your power button is functional before turning off your phone.
