From past experiences, I have used the power too much that it ended up breaking after a year.. Is there a script that will do a shutdown/reboot?
Is there a way to reboot or shutdow the devie without hold down the power button?

I find that with the active notifications I use power button very little. When I pick up the phone it gives me the time and I swipe down and unlock it. In the past I have had phones that the on/off button has given trouble but I don't think that will be the case with this device

No, you're using a Droid which is a Verizon phone. How is the power button broken already?

It is a T-Mobile model and it isn't a Droid. It is a HTC One S. This problem is a lot more common that you may think. I have been reading, from the T-Mobile site, that the problem is awarded to the back cover of the device. They usually send a replacement for it but, in many cases, it ends up NOT being the problem.

Install a terminal emulator like this one.
Start it.
To reboot type in:
reboot
To shut down type in:
reboot -p
Start it.

Hi jerry,
When I tried running reboot in the emulator I get operation not permitted. Do I need to be rooted?
Thanks

I appreciate this. I'm gonna give this a try. Hopefully it will install in my phone. It has been crashing so much that it won't even install apps.

No, you don't need to be rooted to use the terminal emulator. Give this one a try: https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...details?id=jackpal.androidterm&token=eulIzwOz
Only reboot, as you won't be able to turn the device on if the power button is broken.

I have tried to install the APK with Airdroid, email, and the Google store with my phone and also through my laptop, going to the store. Nothing works because it gets stuck on "installing" but nothing happens. I wonder if I just reset my phone and erase all my data. I hope that this is the right thing to do....

No idea but maybe we need to get it moved.

Sign out of your Google Account then sign back in (via the hone). Try to re-download it and see if that helps.I have tried to install the APK with Airdroid, email, and the Google store with my phone and also through my laptop, going to the store.
