Power button problem

Hi all,
My XDA IIs works well before. But few days ago the Power button doesnt work properly, it can turn on the phone, hold to turn off the back light, but I can't use it to turn my phone screen off like before. Anyone has same problem ?
Can you see any part of the screen? It might just be that the backlight adjustments are set too low when the unit isn't cradled. You might be able to see the screen in daylight.. or maybe it was inside your home. I forgot where I was at when it happened to me. In anycase, if you can see a bit of images on your screen, go into the Backlight properties and change the setting to your liking.
Good luck..
The problem is i can just press the power button to turn off my phone BEFORE (the screen is completly off), and NOW it doesnt work at all ! When my phone was off, I can press the Power button to turn it on, or when I hold it for few seconds the back light will be turned off, but press once to turn off. I dont know why, if somthing wrong with the Power button it should be doesnt work at all, that's mean i cannot turn on my phone as well. But other functions of the Power button are still work well, except the 'Turn off' :roll:
power off doesn't work anymore
I have the same problem here. I can't use the power button to power off my qtek 9090!!
i can use the power button to turn my pda on and to switch the background light on and off - so the "hardware side" of the power button is working.
however, i can't use the power button to turn off the device. it's very annoying, because i can't put it in my pocket after finishing a call :-(
this should be some sort of a software problem - so i hard resetted my device (a couple of times) - but that didn't help!
can anyone help?
thanks,
lorenz
the ba doesn't turn off it is always on staand by mode. ->settings -> system -> button lock
this will stop any missed call because when the ba is in standby the power button is the only one to work
power on is no problem. i can't put my BA into standby mode. if i press the power button while the BA is turned on, nothing will happen. the screen will stay on, the background light stays on.
i have no way to put it into stand-by with the power button!
try this and see if it works. it's a software app that wil rest, shut down, and turn the screen off. just copy it to your BA temp directory and install it.

power button problem
Does anyone solve the problem???
Had the same problem...
I had the same problem going on for about two weeks or so...never changed anything and it went away all by itself.
The problem has not come back now in over 4 months.
Sure would love to know what the problem was tho...

Power Off does not work
Add my name to people with this problem.
The only event I can link it to is this: I deleted my Motorola Bluetooth headset and installed a Logitech headset. I noticed the problem (can't turn OFF with POWER BUTTON) soon after that.
same problem for me ..... someone must know !!!!
I think it is a hardware problem. The contact is not making cleanly. Disassemble and spray time, perhaps.
It's a standard push switch, easy enough to replace, I occasionally list themon ebay but any phone repairier should have them in stock.

i had same problem yesterday afternoon, but it is ok now. recovered by himself
Write again in two weeks and let us know if it is still healthy. In my case, anintermittent problem became continuous.
Can't turn the screen on after pressing power button
I have a problem with my Bell Atrix. After pressing power button to lock the screen, i can't wake up the screen up by pressing that button again. Could anyone tell me how to fix it pls.

[Q] Power button doesn't really work, phone keeps turning itself off and rebooting?!

So my phone keeps turning itself off and back on no matter what mode it's in... recovery... download mode... most of the time it can't even make it through the boot logo without restarting itself... I have no idea what's going on. Anybody have ideas?
Haven't really damaged the phone, no water or anything so I'm not sure what could be wrong with it.
Also, the power button hardly ever works. sometimes i press it and it responds, sometimes it just spazzes out like im pressing it when I'm not even pressing it.. and sometimes my phone just keeps acting like im spamming the menu button...

Very strange behavior, can't reset, can't turn off!

I was starting to download some digital magazines I'd checked out from the library using the Zinio app. When I started, the screen flashed for a second and then the screen went black and the animated Samsung logo popped up like the tablet was powering down, or like you see when powering up. The only problem is that it's been that way for about a half hour now. It's not doing anything that I can see. I've tried to power down and it won't shut off. I've closed the magnetic cover, and it won't go to sleep. I've tried the volume up/power button reset, and that does nothing. I guess it's just going to stay like this until the battery dies completely. Has anyone ever seen behavior like this? Any ideas?
Thanks for any advice or opinions.

Try holding Power+Vol Down+Home at the same time. It should reset to the bootloader screen. Then you can press Vol down to reset the tablet.
Thank you for the suggestion. I'm back in business!
It did not reset to the bootloader. It just went dark and reset completely. No options or anything that I could see. Or maybe that's what you meant by the bootloader screen. Anyway, I didn't have to press any other buttons after holding down the Power+Vol Down+Home buttons for about ten seconds. It completely shutdown/rebooted and, once it came back up, everything seems to be fine.
Thanks again for the suggestion.

SW3 won't turn on

My SW3 appears to have died this morning. I unplugged it from the charger, put it on my wrist and pressed the power button to turn it on. I felt it vibrate to say it was on, but then later noticed that the screen was blank. I tried holding the power button to force a reset but nothing happened.
Before I send it off to Sony, does anyone know if there is a reset button anywhere or anything else I should try to get it to turn on?

It once happened to me.
According to this site, to reset our SW3's we need to hold our power keys until the watch vibrates one time and restarts itself. But it didn't help me so there's another thing - to force the shutdown. Press power button until it vibrates three times, then turn it back on.
In my case, the watch started working as it should and such thing never occurred again.

Thanks, I'd tried holding the power button but it wasn't doing anything. It actually turned back on last night, complained that the battery was flat and turned itself off again. Plugged it back in to charge and it's working again this morning. Although my Pujie Black watch face isn't updating as it should and I'm not getting notifications like I should either.
Think I'll give it a factory reset just to be safe.
Aaaaand won't turn on again this morning. Been holding the power button for ages, does nothing, won't connect to Xperia Companion for a reset neither.

G3 VS985 difficult to turn on, recovery mode buttons don't work

My VS985 has 2 problems, which may be related to each other. The first is that, when the phone is fully turned off, turning it back on again is difficult. When I press the power button, the phone just vibrates at me and then refuses to turn on. Screen doesn't light up or anything. Pressing the power button again does nothing at that point. What I have to do, sometimes up to 7-8 times before it turns on, is remove the battery, wait a few seconds, put it back in, then press the power button again. It'll vibrate every time, and eventually one of those times it will turn on and boot up.
The second issue is that I've found it impossible to get into recovery mode using the buttons. I can get in just fine using the quick boot app, but that's not much use if I ever end up in a state where I can't boot into the OS. Apparently it's supposed to work by turning the phone off, then pressing and holding the power + volume down buttons and waiting for the LG logo to show up. I've tried this many times, it never works, possibly because of the first problem.
I bought this phone used, immediately used ODIN to downgrade it to the original stock OS, then towel rooted it and installed CM (LOS 14.1 now), so I've no idea if this phone has always had this problem or if I caused it. It's not a big deal since I always keep my phone on but makes trying new ROMs scary. Has anyone heard of this before, or have any idea how to fix it?
