It may happen that one of the buttons in the smartphone or tablet will stop working.However, this is not a reason to throw away the device.You can transfer the functions of this button to another and unless the switch breaks down quite well with it.With a broken switch, basically also, you only need to try to make the smartphone off (unless it turns on yourself during re -charging).

This time we have two suggestions for you to solve the problem: simple and complex.

Volume Unlock

Volume Unlock is a very simple application that allows you to unlock the device with volume control buttons and turn off the screen from the notification area.The application is irreplaceable on devices with a damaged switch - you just need to make sure that the smartphone does not turn off.

The application does not require root, just add it as the device administrator so that it can take control of waking up.In the settings you can choose whether the screen blocking option from the notification area will be visible, whether it will work with the volume control buttons and whether the application is to work in the background all the time, which, unfortunately, can cause more energy consumption than usual.You can also put a widget for fast blocking of the screen or icon on the home screen.

Button Mapper: Remap Your Keys

Button Mapper is an intuitive application that allows you to change the operation of almost all hardware buttons of the Android device (outside the switch) and in many ways.The application allows them to assign them various functions, change settings or starting the application for pressing, double pressing or holding the button longer.

The application in the free version allows you to change the operation of the return to the home screen and volume control buttons, in the paid "back" and "menu" or "last applications" - depending on the phone's design.They can be assigned to wake up the screen, turn on the flashlight, switching on the background, changing the songs, making screenshots, screen brightness adjustment, Wi-Fi enabling and many other operations.You can also launch specific tasks, depending on the availability of installed applications (note, sharing and the like), or start the application.

In addition, the application allows you to replace the "back" and "menu" buttons (applies to hardware).In advanced settings we will find the ability to adjust the length of holding the button and disable modifications during the camera operation, which will be useful if the buttons are used for taking photos.In addition, in the paid version you can also set the length of the vibration when holding the button or adjust the volume adjustment to the location of the smartphone.
