Power button stop working - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

Hey all, need some help here.
short story - can't power up my device, since power botton stopped working.
anyonw knows a way to turn on the device otherwise?
(tried reset by reset button, plug to pc, to charger..)
longer story- yesterday i realized i can hear only on speaker phone, so i thought it is a bug and tried to reset the device (soft) and realized the power button isn't working as well, which increased my suspicion of a bug, and smart enough i just unplugged the battery and since then can't turn it back on..
thanks

I have same problem several times, and I have no idea why these happen, any ideas?
When its happen, I try call from another phone to my, and nothing happen phone not ring, but I heard normal sound from calling phone.

I would see if I could get the phone to hard reset. I know you need to push the power button but it may work for this purpose just not tell the software to turn back on.
Hard Reset:
With phone off push and hold the send and end buttons while pushing the power button. Follow screen instructions.
If you cant then you will have to return it I am guessing.

Nothing
nope, i tried also to hard reset but nothing works, as time goes i get the feeling that the phone is ok but the power button is the one breaked.
i guess i have to take it to a lab sometime this week.
thanks anyways

HELP!!! My MDA3's Power Button is COMPLETELY INOPERATIVE!!!!

Hi,
My MDA3's power button (on/off) stopped working!! Pressing the button does NOTHING!!! I had locked all keys except the power button, since the power button stopped working, the ONLY way i could turn device on was resetting it!!!!
I have tried upgrading ROM etc, but the power button still wont work!
Can anyone please help me with this?
How did you enter bootloader to flash the rom, is the power button not needed on the mda3 to enter bootloader.?
....
interestingly enough i was able to reset the device by just using the reset pinhole, even the hard reset they say by using recorder+power+reset i was able to do with out the power.
It sounds like you have a hardware problem rather than software, I'd send it back & get it swapped before the warranty runs out if I were you.
We've had four units fail with dodgy buttons, you might even find that it's one the other buttons that is stuck in the pressed position thereby preventing use of the power button (try the sound recorder/camera buttons).
..
I was able to fix this problem by opening the phone, cleaning it with compressed air and putting it back together. I suspect this fixed the stuck button somehow.
I had simmilar problem. There must have been garbage in the button, as I noticed that it did not have the same 'click' feel to it when it stopped working. Luckily my phone was still under warranty, and I swapped it out (ugh)

Can't power off... volume goes down by itself...

Guys, need help... can't figure out if it is a soft or a hard problem...
Have had SX66 for 3 years. Almost never a problem (except for occasional thing when people could not hear me, I could hear them, but after soft reset that thing usually corrected itself).
However, just recently got a real problem.
- Can't power it off. Power buttom only works on powering on, but not on powering off.
- At the same time, the volume window pops up (with two volume sliders, "on", "vibrate", and "off), and the left slider automatically slides down on its own, preventing me from accessing anything else. When I try to do something else, go to Programs, or else, this freaking Volume window keeps popping up, and left slider keeps going down and stays down there.
When I try to increase volume, it keeps going down right after I raise it. And the volume window is almost constantly popped up.
From time to time, it disappears, allowing me to do something for several seconds or even minutes, but then pops up again.
Yesterday, I even managed to do something for several minutes without it, and even managed to turn SX66 off, although I had to press the button for a second longer than usual to turn it off. Today, no luck, can't power it off. If I press it for a bit longer, it just goes in "dimmed" screen mode, but stays powered on.
Any advice?
Thanks.
I guess, I'll have to try to clean the power button and volume slider on the side. Looking for good disassembly instructions. Found one, but more would be appreciated...

I have the same problem. I was starting to think that there is no way to turn of BA . Any help?
I have the same problem, only that mine is a HTC touch dual (niki).
the volume screen keeps popping up, and does a "volume down" command... sometimes it goes away, sometimes it comes back...
:S
Ive got a similar problem ive upgraded my BA to wm 6.1 (Xplod) the problem that i am having is that i cant seem to power it off..only way that im able to do that is by removing the battery..when i keep the power button pressed only the backlight turns off but no the phone..How to i power it off?
and secondly ive a problem with the keyboard..while writing some times i press a key and it keeps typing that for example i write s it keeps writing ssssss or giving spaces untill i press something else...is this a software issue or a hardware issue..cant seem to figure it out
I know this thread has been a while but if anyone has the same problem, you'd probably be interested about what i did.
well i had the same problem of the volume going down by itself and the volume icon pops which basically lets you do nothing.
tried all the approaches thinking it was a software issue. but i finally went nuts and took my torx screwdriver, opened the blue angel and tore off the part in the motherboard where the outer volume lever is attached to.
It worked.
So if you could with the fact you wont a direct volume adjustment at the side, you could probably try it

Uh OHHHH

After devunlocking last night, now my phone is messed up
The problem is the back,windows and search button no longer work, the portion of the screen that they take up is now like an extension of thescreen it just selects stuff as if it were at the bottom of the screen. Any help to reset all the files in root to factory, I tried to hard reset and soft reset.
Maybe I screwed up the registry or some files. Thanks for any help
try factory reset. hold camera + volume down + power. when phone vibrate release power button while holding the other 2 buttons. should prompt you to reset your phone. hope that works
Thx
I tried that but it enters USB Host mode, I also tried holding down up and down volume and power button to reset which resets it but doesn'tfixmy problem. it's acting like the part of the screen where the windows, search and back button are are now part of the regular screen and those 3 buttons no longer do anything.
This sounds rather like a hardware error. Your calibration of the touchscreen is messed up. I suggest you send it in. You still should have warranty?!
Btw. I don't think this has a connection to unlocking the phone!
If the phone hasn't been tampered with physically, it should be enough to just sync it without re-unlocking it, and it should be locked again.
Thx
I got a new one on the way. I didn't delete any files or regedit a bunch of stuff just a standard dev unlock and it started acting squirrly.

OP3 does not power on

Has anyone experienced this?
I had many apps opened in the background and Spotify would not play music so that I decided to turn off the device. After that the phone just wont power on. At the time I did that the battery was around 90%.
I tried going into recovery mode and the phone will bot power on.
Any ideas of how I can fix this?
Thanks in advance
I had similar problem. Oneplus support had me connect phone to computer USB with charging cable. Wait a while. Then press power button and volume control at same time for at least 30 seconds. Also I should try pressing power button for more than 30 seconds. After several long attempts at this, the phone came to life. I'll be interested if this works for you.
just flash with msm download tool. if it's software issue, it will help.
My phone did same, push power button 20secs and it comes back to life.. Repeat couple times if dosnt work..
Thank you everyone. I tried everything and the phone is literally dead.
I also contacted customer support and I was told to do the above steps and nothing.
I never did anything to break it. I think it will be the last OnePlus I will ever buy. I had problems with the OP2's home button as well.

Tried holding power button + volume up button for few secs?
Keep power button pressed for 10-15 seconds. Then again try to switch on normally. See if turns on.

Problem with power and volume down buttons

Hi everybody,
I have sometimes a strange problem :
- the volume down button doesn't work anymore.
- I can't use the power button to turn on / off my phone, but it works as I can press it 3 times to open camera. On the contrary, I can't use it to ask for reboot, but it works for soft reset! Aaaaaarrgh! Brain pain!
When I try to soft reset, my phone enters in safety mode, as if I pressed the volume down button during restart.
In bootloader, I can't use power and volume down button. Quite annoying.
Sometimes, volume is turning down without pressing any button.
But what is weird is that my phone shifts from normal state (all buttons working) to defect state and back to normal state again without doing anything. It's unpredictable. It can work well for decades, then stops working fine for hours or days then back to normal.
Sometimes, when it works well, when I'm using it, it goes wrong without doing anything. I'm reading my favorite site and volume is suddenly going down. Without warning, without even touching a button.
I have to say one more thing. I picked up that phone from a coworker, and the volume button is a bit bent near volume up (picture needed?) but it worked fine for months before starting to mess.
I hope you'll be able to help me.
Sorry for my English, it's not my native tongue.
Seems to me like a hardware problem.
What I'd do honestly is to hit it repeatedly on a hard surface, but please, do not do that
If you can I suggest taking it apart and making sure all the ribbons are firmly set in place and undamaged. It can be an one way ticket for damaging the phone for good though, so wait for other suggestions too.
Thanks for your answer.
What is making me angry is that it also does this when left alone on the table : I let it there working perfectly and when I pick it up again, it fails.
And when it fails, once again I let it alone and suddenly the volume goes down, without even touching it. Raging.
its a hardware problem, u have to change the volumes and power flex, had the same problem with the powern button, i turn the phone off, and a few secons later it power on by himself till i change the flex
Did you take the phone apart recently? I had my battery replaced and that's when my Volume up started phantom pressing. I hit the phone repeatedly on a flat service and made sure to kind of slap it so it would impact kinda evenly as to not dent the case, it worked for about a week at a time, then I just took the phone apart and tried to align everything and made sure all the insulation tape was flat and and not bunched up and now it's fine. We'll except my USB port has got some giggle to it. Order a new USB of amazon for like $9, I'm trying to hold out for a LG V30
