1. This comes with the territory of keeping your device awake at all times in order to enable the volume button to perform the power button function.
2. With this really nifty app running on your Android, you can use the volume button instead of the power button to wake up your device!
3. If you are wondering why the app was on the administrator's list to begin with, it's because only apps that are device administrators can turn on and off the screen.
4. We're so excited that Power Button to Volume Button has over 1,500,000 downloads!!!
5. If your Android's power button is broken then this app is for you!
6. IF YOU WANT TO UNINSTALL THIS APP go to Settings > Security > Device Administrators and remove the app from the device administrator list.
7. If this app is run without the screen off setting, then the long term behavior of this app becomes unpredictable, as it is subject to the operating system's whims to reclaim memory.
8. If you love this app, check out Fetch Internet, which gives your computer Internet access WITHOUT PAYING for a hotspot!
9. Please note that you may experience a power drain on the battery.
10. With recent updates to the Android operating system - this is the only way to do it.
11. You actually opted-in to this, but probably didn't bother to read the relevant messages when the app asked for this permission...
1. Using Samsung Galaxy J7.Works but its important to turn off screen dimmer if you have one installed, i tried installing many apps like this and uninstalled all of them right away until i figured it out, i made the mistake of not turning off the screen dimmer it would not let me grant permission on any volume to power button app so if u have other apps running on the screen this wont overide them endless u turn those other apps off.
2. But to the new users, this app WILL consume your battery even if it's at idle (because the app will still exist as a background app), so I suggest not leaving it on overnightDO NOT DOWNLOAD, this app will kill your phone, you will start to get add pop up when you unlock your phone and at random times, your phone will die in less that 20 minutes and my phone started dying at 70% because of this app and it doesn't even do what it says it does, it is completely useless, and you can't even delete it, there's no getting rid and all of this caused to to get a whole new phone, THIS ONE APP, DO NOT DOWLOADThe app causer such a heavy battery drain that at night on standby battery went from 65% to 1% in morning.
3. By doing that, you can close the app from the notification bar and open it thru power button!This app made my phone lost its speaker and mic capabilities (when I'm on a call, I can't hear what the other person is saying and vice versa, just silence).
4. Any of the volume button works as a power on button and the notification widget works to lock back the phone.
5. This app DOES NOT allow your volume button to replace the power button! It simply puts a notification in the task bar to lock the screen.
6. The only problem is when I make a phone call, it seems to disable the app, the screen turns off and I cannot turn it back on with the volume button.
7. If those issues were fixed, this would definitely get a 5 star rating.Horrible, misleading app! Like so many people, I installed this as my phone's power button broke.
8. One minor gripe I do have with this is that turning on the screen with the volume button doesn't work if "Do not disturb" is on, or if the volume is already at 0% or 100%.
9. DON'T DOWNLOAD!The features of this app is amazing! I think other people have rated this app very low due to the confusion of how it works as they may have initially thought that the phone needs to be restarted before the app could actually work.
10. my battery which usually lasts a day and a half, now lasts 2 hoursI find this a great alternative to the power button especially since my power button is broke.
11. Thankfully my power button works again so I uninstalled, and everything's back to normal.
