Works on Android 2.2 and 2.3. Does not work on Android 4.0.4. Notice: 2.3 user can not power on the phone using track ball. Please use volume keys instead (It won't increase or decrease volume, but it will beep).

AnyUnlock will save your power button. It has two functions: 1. Use any key to turn the device on (by disable the default keylock). It contains a simple lock screen to prevent the mistap. Press "back" key to unlock the phone.
2. Use a home screen widget to turn off the phone. 3. Very small. 40k install size. 4. Do not keep the phone awake and do not consume considerable more battery power. 5. Open-sourced solution.

Thank you! Saved my Thunderbolt My power button broke on my HTC Thunderbolt. Pretty big problem. Had to plug phone in to power on phone, or to wake it up if it was in in sleep. Before I found this, I set my phone to never sleep which killed the battery even more so and pocket dialing etc was big issue being that screen was always on. This app allows one touch sleep with widget, then wake up with volume key press on Thunderbolt. Thanks to the developer!

Pretty good Sometimes my phone will beep as though unlocked, but the screen won't activate. I'm hosed with a broken button and this app works great 95% of the time so thanks!

Hit or miss functionality... Downloaded app to sleep/wake phone since my power button broke, and as another user said, it works fine if the screen has only been asleep for a few seconds, but was unresponsive after several minutes. Uninstalled after less than an hour.

Can't Uninstall I tried to uninstall this app bc it doesn't work properly, but I'm unable to do so. It says "application not uninstall". If it isn't one thing with using these apps, its something else uninstalling them.
