If you own a Samsung Galaxy S20, you may be frustrated with the lack of a power button on the device. This is because the phone has a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, and there is no way to turn off or on the device without taking off the battery. Fortunately, there is a way to change this so that the phone has a power button instead of just a standard 3.5mm headphone jack. To do this, you will need to remove the battery and then remove the back cover of your phone. Once these are removed, you will see two screws at the bottom of your phone. These screws will need to be removed in order to remove the side buttons on your phone. Once these screws are removed, you will see two Phillips head screws at either end of your phone’s side buttons. These screws will need to be removed in order to remove the buttons from your device. Once these screws are removed, you can now replace them with new ones if you want.
Start by opening the Galaxy S20’s Settings menu. The easiest way to do this is by swiping down from the top of the phone’s display and pulling down the notification shade. From here, tap the Gear icon in the top-right corner.
Alternatively, you can swipe up from the handset’s home screen to open the app drawer. Here, you can either use the search bar at the top of the screen or swipe between panels to locate the “Settings” app.

Scroll down and then select the “Advanced Features” option.
Next, tap the “Side Key” button at the top of the list.
You can now adjust the press and hold and double-press actions. Select the “Power Off Menu” option if you want the side button to act as a traditional power button when long-pressed.
You can also modify what double-pressing the side button does. By default, just like on other Android smartphones, the action quickly launches the camera. You can change this to open Bixby or open any app installed on your Samsung Galaxy S20.
