Switch the power button for the volume button on your Android
Most modern phones hardly feature any mechanical buttons. Nevertheless, the power button is still necessary. But what happens if it gets damaged? The download of the APK file can help us put a patch on the problem.
Big problems require big solutions
Power Button to Volume Button is an interesting tool for switching the power button for the volume button on an Android phone or tablet. It will allow us to continue to turn the phone on and off even when the physical button is broken.
If your Android's power button is broken then this app is for you!
Configuring the app is very easy since there are only three options in the menu. However, using it does involve certain risks, especially if it is used for long periods of time. Moreover, the developers themselves warn us that the long-term behavior of the app can become “unpredictable” since it is reliant on operating system functions.
Therefore, it is more of a band-aid than a definitive solution. The great thing about it is that it is completely free and doesn't even have any ads.
Requirements and additional information:
- Minimum operating system requirements: Android 3.0.
