So this morning I woke up to find out my OG Droid's power button no longer functions. In order to turn the screen on I have to slide open the keyboard, and to turn it off I have to wait for the screen to go off automatically via the inactivity timer. Holding the power button does nothing. I also know this isn't a software issue because when I turned the phone off (via battery pull), holding the power button did not power on the phone, I had to plug it into a charger.
Unfortunately, Verizon wants me to pay $89 to get a refurb (since it's 1 month out of warranty) or to buy a new phone and start a new contract (I really would prefer to hold out buying a new phone until Q3).
So thus I wanted to ask, is there any way to turn the screen off without using the power button? I don't care if it's an app or widget, if I can find an easy way to turn the screen off I think I can work around this for a bit.
