Is there any way that i could disable wakeup when:
I connect or disconnect the charger.
I place or remove the Desire on or from the cradle connected to my computer.
When i push any onther button than power.
<Quote>My epic 4g won't power on. If I plug in a usb cable/ac adapter it will charge the device. The screen comes on and shows the green battery and the amber LED turns on and then turns blue when it reaches 100% charge.
But the power button does nothing. It won't power it on. Is there anything else I can do to force it to turn on?</Quote>
So I got it to boot up. You can do this by holding the power button down while continuously unplugging and replugging in a power adapter (or usb cable). You may spend 2 or 3 minutes unplugging and replugging it in (you need to do this rapidly) but eventually you'll be greeted with the samsung boot screen. If it makes it to the battery display screen you're not unplugging and replugging in quickly enough.
Hopefully o that anyone else who encounters this problem can potentially use their phone in a pinch or recover data off one with a broken power button. My power button is definitely busted and I'll need to get it repaired by sprint unfortunately.
Thanks!

Click to expand...

Did you try putting it into download mode? may need to ODIN back to stock.
Ok im new to this forum, as i just ditched my evo shift and picked up and epic, but you might try booting to another menu. Try unplugging it and holding the 1 key on the keyboard then press the power key. If that does nothing then id have to guess ur actual power button is broken. You could also try pulling the battery witih it unplugged for like 5 minutes then put it back in and hold the power button for like 20 seconds and letting it go.
Edit: He beat me to it
It appears the actual power button is broken, neither of those solutions worked. Is there any other way to force it to power up without use of the power button?

Thank you soo much! I have a messed up Epic that has to be sent back to Sprint but I had to get my work information off of it or I'd be in it deep. Your trick worked perfectly!!
Phone was like about 1%, I just wanted to see what time is it and connect it to the charger, but it discharged.
After connecting it to the charger, everything was ok, HOX started, but I wanted to check something, and it turned off.
I turned it on again, but it crashed after entering PIN, and I had to turn it off by pressing longer power button.
And from that time it doesn't charge nor run. Back of the phone is cold, the LED don't lit.
I tried many combinations of pressing power button and volume and with plug-in USB.
And I've "charged" it for about 1h and HOX didn't turn on.
Help me guys
//sorry for language
What could have happened? I tried the Power Button + Volume Down + Home Button method and it still doesn't restart. Normally, I'd plug in a USB charging cable to "jump start" it so that it starts showing the charging level but this time, no dice.
edit: I manually changed the battery to a spare one i had laying around and now it works. audio jack ****ed up the old battery some how?
Hi,
When the device is off and plugged into the charger, it opens on the charging screen. When you hold down the power button to enter the OS, the device turns off and on again. This is very tedious and time consuming. Is there a way to switch directly to the OS when the device is plugged into the charger instead of being turned off?
