FYI, the power button is just like RM 10 thing (to samsung). Maybe will charge us 30~40.
But when you use alternative method to turn on screen
1. Volume button wake- volume button is soldered to the board, harder to replace compared to power button
2. Swipe unlock- In my own understanding, this requires digitizer to be on all the time for the feature to function. If this is the case, I rather I kill the power button rather than having digitizer on all the time to detect the swipe.
3. Proximity unlock. Should be quite nice to use with flip case but reason is same like 2. I believe replacing the power button is the cheapest and easiest of all.
I assign long press back as camera, long press recent as power.
Ya, check on the on off switch specification from one major switch maker - Omron, that kind of switch it can last for 300,000 to 10,000,000 press (depend on how much force to press).
that means if we press 300 times a day, it can still last us 3 years +, by the time change phone already lo.
now i use the on/off switch enough, no need to use app.
