Ok, really noob.
I turn the phone off every night but sometimes I forget if I turned it off or not.
As far as I know, we can only click the power button to light the screen but if the phone is already shutdown it will turn on again.
Is there any other key to touch the phone so we'll able to see if it's on?
Hold town power and vol down. If it is on it will.go to.the lock screen and if it is off hboot will appear, wait for the green text to go and then use vol keys to navigate to fastboot and press power to select and then navigate to power down and press power

Is there anyway to undo gfree?? I think I messed up my phone by rebooting it and pressing volume up, every now and then my power button doesn't go to sleep when I pressed it after a while 10-20secs it will prompt shutdown selector, at first I thought its broken but when I fast boot it keeps on pressing power button and it goes around and around.
Any help or suggestions would be pretty much appreciated thnks....

Lmfao couldn't resist I'm sorry I'm of no help to you
Yes, you can undo gfree, see the Wiki for details.
But it sounds to me like your Power button is stuck, nothing to do with gfree IMHO.
I agree with steviewevie, you should check your power button.
You can use the KeynrTracker app in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850464
I know there was an app that monitored key input events and was very useful when I was modding my keymap file, but I can't remember its name.
Thank you guys so much for helping me around my problems, I didn't undo gfree bcoz of the button remapper you showed me but one thing what if I put power button to none what will happen how can I turn it on??
EDIT: nothing had worked from button remapper, still green light on gfree
EDIT: its working cause I was so stupid that I put power to power and just changed it to none sorry guys, undo gfree no go..

Try a different rom. If it still persists in another android rom, then try winmo. If it still persists in winmo, then it's your button that's the problem.
It can't be the button due to the fact I can use the the key to power on the phone and it works with every press. I can't enter the magldr menu since the end call key doesn't register so when I hold it when powering on it still boots straight into android.

Then just change to a different Rom.
how do i load a new rom? i cant get into the magldr menu to flash a new rom is there another way to do it

You can use power button but not end call button? Do you know that power button and end call button is just the same button?

Then try getting in a different build. Do a long press on power button during power on.

it seems as if as soon as the phone powers on the power button does not respond because if i do a long press on the power button it still boots straight to android and doesnt bring up the magldr menu
so ive tried 2 nand builds and a nandram build as well as a windows mobile 6.5 rom and still the problem persists. but how can the actual hardware of the key be broken if the button can be used to turn the phone on? tried doing hard reset and that didnt do anything. is there anyway to do a 100% clean wipe of the phone that will completely remove magldr and CWM from the phone?
It's called a task 29. task 29 wipes the phone completely.
I still think it's the hardware though.
did the task 29 still doesnt work. but how can the hardware be the issue of the button still works to power on the phone? has anyone else ran across this problem.
thanks or all informations
Is there any option to change unlock screen from power button to any other button.I feel by continuous use of power button may damage.Please help?
In cyanogen can wake up with volume keys
CM7 based Roms allow you to set your volume keys to wake your phone. But you'll still have to press the power button if you want to put it back to sleep.
Not sure about other Roms.

Actually you can download "Screen off and lock" app from market and lock the phone using your screen/long press search button...
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App
WidgetLocker (Lockscreen replacement, get it via the market) also supports waking up your device via volume buttons.
A lot of other costum ROM's provide flashable zip's to wake the device up via volume buttons like ARHD. (As someone said, CM7 has this feature integrated)

Thanks for the reply quickly bros and one thing always using power button will damage or no problem for using.
No, it shouldn't, it's made to be extensively used, as long as you treat it with some care, you shouldn't be afraid...
Was trying to restart wifes Nexus 4, only option when holding power key down is to power off. Is there any other way?
Also, how do you screen shot on it?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
Keep holding the power button. It will restart after a few seconds.
edit: to take a screen shot of "hold power + volume down"

I don't think holding down the power button is the greatest suggestion if you want to just reboot the device.
If you hold down the power button, what that does is it forces the device to shut down. Keep it held and your device will power back on. That would seem like a reboot. But it's the equivalent of pulling the power form your PC to shutdown and then booting it up again. It's simply not the proper way to shutdown or reboot.
Natively, there's no way to easily reboot your device. Most custom ROMs have a reboot option in the power menu. If you don't want to flash custom ROMs, there are apps that let you reboot. Just search "reboot" in Google Play.
You can also use the reboot command in terminal emulator if the phone is rooted.... and you just made me reboot my phone.
I have had this phone for over a year and the power button is getting harder to activate. I also have a nook color, when I plug the nook up it powers on. Is there a way to have something similar on the mt4g? Power on through USB or charge. Thanks.

I dunno if it can with ADB. But what if you hold the volume down and power button to get into bootloader. How is you power button failing, can you get me a picture?
Could it be that your flex cable is getting worn out or just not actuating the power properly (ie. like with a microswitch, eventually the "springiness" of the switch won't properly let the microswitch activate) If you don't get what I mean, like the inside housing of this microswitch; http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f8/Microswitch.jpg
Based on this post it seems the mobo flex cable is what depressed an internal switch to turn the device/screen on and off. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1591388
The last part of your post though, do you mean that you turn off the phone every night and turn it back on the next morning? Does this only happen when the phone is off and it acts normally when turning the screen on and off?
Well problem solved. I flashed the cwm touch 8.5 I think. Anyways it boots up into recovery when plugged in. I can live with that. I will miss 4xt. Thanks again guys n gals.

Forgive me if this sounds ignorant, but is this a common HTC issue? I own a Glacier and an HD7, and I've seen power button issues for both of them.
Well the issue was pressing the power button would do nothing 95% of the time and 5% would turn the device on. So, problem solved with the cwm touch recovery, except it boots in to recovery mode and is touch sensitive. That's good enough for me though. I just need to be careful when turning the device on.

i have the same issue with my phone...power button is completely broken..,
but i managed to map the search key (hardly use this button) with the power button using the button remapper found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850464)
For reboot, i just connect it to any power outlet and it turns on into CWM touch recovery...
i can live with it until the next nexus..

If you feel comfortable opening up the bevel of the phone, you may want to check and see if the pieces of the power switch are still seated properly. I had a similar issue (which I wrote about here) that was entirely due to the pieces of the switch going off-center, making the button less responsive over time and eventually completely useless. The symptom was that the power button seemed to have less and less actuation to it.
