How to turn an android phone on without using the power button.
So my phone's power button broke off, and I am unable to turn it on. When the screen would go dark, I would just press the camera button (which is partially broken so I have to press on it really hard with a pencil or something) but I plugged it in at one per cent, and two seconds later, it still died. Now I have no way to turn it on, and I'd hate to lose all my texts and notes and have to replace it... I guess I'll probably have to. I tried reinserting the SIM card, which did not work. I don't know if taking the battery out will work, but I'll have to unscrew something to even get at the battery. My phone isn't really a recent model sadly, so I don't know if it could be repaired, and where I am they don't really do repairs on phones that much anymore anyway. My phone is a Sony Xperia Ion LT28i.
