Off-Key Widget on Defy?

[DrMambo]

greetings!

Just recently i got a Motorola Defy, and to be honest the top power button seems a little wimpy.

i have downloaded two apps so far to circumvent the power key;
Tap Tap App and Fix Broken Power Button.
the following problems occur when attempting to power the phone down.

In Fix Broken Power Button the widget is completely inoperative.

in Tap Tap App the screen will flash dark, then immediately come to the lock screen.

i believe this has to do with the Defy's internal workings, and do not know how to fix it.

is there hope for my phone?

thank you.
