Well... before realizing the problem was the power button/switch I read another posts about batteries, so i bought a brand new one and let the phone charge.
The thing is that the battery is at 100% and the only way to make the phone turn on is by taking off and puting on the battery and most of the times it works, not always. Then i get to the home screen and it turns off by itself. Only once i could keep the phone on without shutting down automatically. If I try to turn it off or on by the power button it does not respond. Any Suggestions?
Pls, not a single answer...

You can't do much if your power button is broken, sorry. There is no way you can power up your phone

Hi everyone,
I'm posting this thread because I'm heaving a problem with the On/Off switch of my phone... Since yesterday it doesn't work anymore, so when I push it down, nothing happens...
Yesterday, the power-controll menu (the one who appears when you push the swith down for a couple of seconds) appeared now and then, and my phone randomly switched on and off, so I'm thinking this may be a hardware issue...
My problem here is that I bought the phone in a store that's far away from where I live, so I can't just go and bring the phone for repair... But in the meantime I can't turn my phone on... The only way I can turn on the screen is when I connect it to a power source or when someone calls me.
I've searched the interwebs for software that may help me (something like a button remapper, so that I could use the central button for example as on and off switch) but that's only for rooted devices, and mine isn't...
Any propositions ?

I think his phone was on, so the problem was that he couldn't turn the screen on.

Well actually yes, the device was on but it turned off because of the battery... Luckily, I managed to restart the device by plugging it into the power source and remove/putting back the battery several times...
I noticed now that my battery is draining really fast, the phone can't hold a day of normal usage
Hey guys,
Urgent issue, somehow spilt fruit juice on my phone, still operates OK,
But, the power button seems to be stuck like its always being pressed.
The phone turns itself on as soon as I put the battery in..
Is there any way I can use another button as the power button instead?
I am rooted with unlocker bootloader..
Thanks in advance

my guess is no...
explanation:
if you say it switches offas soon as you put the battery in then how will it work?
You can use a pin, or a plastic toothpick end to slide around the power button to get rid of some of the gunk from the juice. I have used this method to get my button unsticky before. Just don't go too far in and use gentle back and forth rubbing motions.

I said the phone switches itself ON when I put the battery in..
Is there no apps I can use to change the button to the search one or something?

Hi, today while I was browsing on Firefox, the app closed by itself and the home screen got distorted (the wallpaper got black and some icons started to show up in the background). Since it has happened before, twice in the last week, I tried to reset the phone. However this time the phone did not turn on. I put it in the charger and the LED is also not turning on. I've had it plugged in for about 9 hours now and the LED is still off and the phone is not even getting warm, like it usually does when it's charging. The charger is also not warming up, and when I tried to connect the phone to the computer USB port, Windows doesn't report any power consumption.
I've read some threads about bricking, so I know people mention longer times to get the LED turn red, but is it normal that it doesn't warm up and doesn't suck any power from a USB port?
For anyone familiar with AT&T operations, if I sent it as warranty replacement, would they bother running diagnostics? I have it with LT28i .68 firmware, rooted and with CWM.
Also, is there a way to retrieve the data from the internal SD card? I tried connecting it to the computer and nothing happened. Nothing happens when I press either volume button + power button. An nothing happens when I connect it to the computer pressing either volume button.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Have you tried the Hard reset?
Holding Power Button and Volume button together for at-least 3-5 seconds and you would feel 3 vibration.

Hold VolUP+VolDOWN at the same time, and then press Power button, holding it too, the 3 at same time for some secs...

I tried that too, the phone also doesn't respond.
Does ION has removable battery? If yes try to remove it for a while.
If not. Then try the buttons combo with the phone connect to charger...

The Ion doesn't have a removable battery. I already tried all combinations of power+volume buttons, while disconnected and connected to the charger, and nothing. Maybe the battery somehow got disconnected internally, I don't know if that's even possible.
I've called AT&T, they'll send another warranty replacement, the second replacement I get. Hopefully this one will last enough at least for an early renewal.
I don't know if AT&T still does this but back when I was in the states last year I had them give me an early upgrade because two of the handsets they gave me were faulty (original and one replacement). Try talking to CS Reps sometimes it pays off. You might be able to get an early upgrade if you tell them how this can't keep happening you have important data blah blah blah.
Anyways good luck!

I guess Your battery is down. Did You try connecting it to charger? What do You see on phone when You try the combination of power+vol up?

Did you try holding down the power button + volume up key? Its to force reboot the phone. Keep the combination of keys pressed till your phone vibrates! Hope it helps...

Get flashtool and drivers plug phone into it and see if flashtool detects anything on it. If that don't detect it unplug.
Hold the up and down vol button and press power button and see if it vibrates or anything. If still nothing then get a t6 or t8 screw driver remove the back of it and remove the battery and get a ohmz meter on it and test the battery or connect to a battery tester. Sounds like battery dead on it.

Thank you for your suggestion! :fingers-crossed:
Guys I'm in need of Some serious help here, when my phone isn't plugged in, it'll shut off randomly, but when I have my phone charging its fine. My battery is at 80, and this problem occurs with all roms. My phone however does NOT randomly shutoff when in recovery or download mode. It acts as if I'm holding the power button, its as if the button is super sensitive, but I'm not sure- I need a second opinion and some help on what to do.
As long as I can still use my baby I don't mind removing the power button or anything, I just need it working ASAP. Its my computer, game system and entertainment system all in one :crying:

Did you try going back to stock and see if the problem persists? Your phone might be in need of a good clean up. Of course, backup before doing so.
Same issue here I looked in to it and its a sensitive power button
