After owning a Nexus One which had a power button issue and seeing my friend's Nexus S going through the same problem, I'm a bit worried that it will happen to my Gnex, especially after spending so much $ on it. The power button doesn't feel as sturdy as I would like. Are there any apps for ICS/Gnex which can change the unlock button to the volume rockers?
Anyone else worried about that? Or am I just freaking out in advance?
This is the first time I'm seeing it posted but I think my power button is going bad.
Its not bad yet but certainly feels like its getting worse.
About ten times a day I need to repress it cause it didn't work.
I have a case too which could make it harder but its still exposed so its not that I'm missing it.
Had me super worried at first.

I don't have this problem, but my Captivate did. I used screen off and lock. I keeps your phone from fully locking allowing volume buttons to wake the screen. I also used SGS button remapper to remap the buttons, but I don't think it would work on the GNex.
YES. Have been thinking about this for weeks now. My OG had to be put down be cause the power button completely broke. Since then I am a little snake bitten with my nexus. I actually find myself pressing and depressing more often just to see if it is getting worse.
Funny to see a thread of this.

Yeap, already done a few versions back..
I have noticed sometimes the phone doesn't always respond to power button presses. It can take two or three times. It scares me sometimes, not gonna lie. I wanna believe it's just my gel case but...

Try pressing the button right in the middle. I noticed that you sometimes do not depress deep enough for the "click" to register when you hit it too far to the sides. The upside is of course that it's harder to press the button by mistake too.
I think you're freaking out about the power button not working.
Alternatively, like what others say you can get AOKP and do it with volume rocker to turn the phone screen on.
Or get a case with reinforced buttons (they make it easier to press).
bigxie's rom also does it, there's probably several others
We are not including volume wake in our rom. We got a resounding HELL NO when we asked folks if they wanted it. The power button is just as sturdy as the volume. If its going to break, extra stress will do the same to volume as well.
The nexus one button failure has no relation since its a completely different manufacturer using different cluck mechanism etc. So really this thread is about power button failure in general. I think it will be fine.

But at least you have the option of pressing 3 buttons to wake the phone instead of 1. That alone cuts down the chances of it failing by approximately 67% right?

Are you going to consciously alternate using each one at different times?
The thought never entered my mind. These are expensive devices and if there's a manufacturer defect then I'll simply take it back. Having said that, I've never had a hardware issue with any of my Android devices, no dust under the screen or anything weird. But if I did, I'd take it back immediately.
Would be nice to have the option in the menu, but leave the default to off but allow users to enable it as they please. I subconsciously think about this as well, perhaps because the button is so small it does not install much confidence in me.
That's one of the things I miss on my SG2 is the front centre home button as an extra option aside from the power button to wake the phone.
Perhaps down the road they'll manufacture smartphones with capacitative power and volume "buttons" as well?
This would suck. I had the power button break on my nexus s and I baby all my phones. I'll be depressed if my $600 phone breaks for no reason.

I only heard one person personally and none on here that suffered from the power button issue. From what I heard the nexus one was more prone to it. I had 3 nexus ones and never had that issue. Also with this device I noticed that my button is keeping its springyness. Especially with the new touch recovery. I don't really have a reason to use the power button.

I haven't seen a post about this yet, but just something I happened up.
I was sitting on the couch, flipping my phone from hand to hand while watching my 11 month old son crawl around the living room, and just happened to hear some weird rattling going on, coming from the phone. I'm not sure what it is, but I have a feeling it's the lens for the camera.
Now, note, this only happened when it came to a very quick/forceful stop (as in it landed on the ground). Obviously this sounds alot worse than it was, but I'm just curious if anyone else noticed this. If I shake it, I don't get any rattle at all. Just curious if anyone else noticed this.
It's the camera, and is normal.
Yeah I didn't notice it until today after two weeks with the phone.
Thankfully my experience with other androids let me know it was normal for the camera
It might be the volume rocker. My camera does not rattle but my volume rocker does.

Definitely the camera. Hold the volume rocker and do it, you'll see it still happens. Ah well, just making sure.
Was playing with my camera this morning taking pictures of my son, and noticed this....are others having the same picture quality issues like this with light? I didn't seem to remember having these when I first got the phone. Perhaps I'm wrong.....Specifically notice how the light in the doorway is banding up and down like that? I tried it also looking at a window and TV and the same thing happened. Not sure exactly why it does that, but I know that my Motorola Droid X didn't have that issue.

Yeah, wiped it a few times with a LCD screen wipe.
It just actually gets stranger. I was planning on taking it back, and put the original (1850 mAH) battery back in, and checked and it looked fine. I thought, what the hell, so I went back to my extended battery, and it looked fine again now too. I'm not sure whats going on, but for some reason it was making those 'light streaks' and I got no clue why. I'm sorta hesitant to take it back now, since it isn't doing it anymore. No point because they won't exchange it anyway.

I'm not sure how much of a difference the LTE and GSM have, but I know mine is coming from the area of the camera. I can try and make just the bottom rattle and it never happens, but if I do the same to the top, it rattles from somewhere around the camera lens. Either way, the camera seems fine now. Was taking Christmas Pictures all night and no issues!

I guess that I have a tiny camera rattle too but the volume rocker rattles much louder. The camera rattle is not audible over the noise that my volume rocker makes. My Droid Charge had a much louder camera rattle.
Hello,
Has anyone else with a GSM Galaxy Nexus got a problem where the power button not responding?
Noticed it once or twice a week after buying the device but it's gradually getting worse to the point where I have to keep tapping the button until it wakes up/sleeps or powers on.
Contacted O2 today who confirmed that it is a mechanical fault and are taking it off me for a repair/replace.
I was just curious as to if anyone else has had this problem with their GN?
I'm interested to see if more people have this problem. The Nexus One had plenty of issues with the power button and I had to send my in for repair twice. I really hope the Galaxy Nexus can avoid this.
please dont say this problem is back. this is the first i've heard of this issue with the galaxy nexus. but the nexus one certainly had power button failures all over the place.
Well, the courier picked up my handset just now.
I should have it back by Thursday.
I never had this problem with my Nexus One, although I previously had a Galaxy S2 which the home button went iffy after 6 months of usage.
It's a shame, as the GN is a really good device. I miss it already!
Okay, update on situation.
O2 had lost my phone somewhere (translation: either someone at o2, or the courier fancied the look of the GNex and wanted it for themselves).
After countless arguments with o2, and being fobbed off during each call, I finally got through tok someone who was very helpful and has placed an order for me for a new handset. To be delivered tomorrow.
So, fingers crossed this handset wont have the same problem. I miss my GNex (and Android), having been using a dumbphone for the last week or so.
Some simple solutions to save your power button.
1) Use Widgetlocker or a custom ROM that allows wake when pressing the volume keys or other hardware buttons.
2) Use a widget like Extended Controls that will allow you to lock the phone with a tap of the screen or pull down notification like TapTap app.
Saved my notoriously week power button on my HTC Incredible and now my brand spankin' new GN.
I've had the GNex for about a month now, and not had any power button issues. Perhaps it was an issue with your specific (now lost) device.
Smabbage thanks for the tip about Extended Controls. I have come to the GNex from a DHD on which I used to enjoy using the "Press Menu to unlock" option and was wondering how I'd do it on here with no physical buttons (volume buttons used to cycle track).
Another tip to reduce power button use. Edit the search button to act as power

That's AWESOME!!! How did you do that???
I have this problem too. For me, the power button always works but only if I press it right in the middle with more pressure than usual. It started 2 weeks after I got my nexus and it's getting worth.
For now, I'm using the volume wake feature of aokp. I might bug my career about it later (I have to relock my bootloader). Do you guys think they'll give me a new phone right away? I don't wanna live without my phone for 2 weeks.
Happens to me to every now and then my power button decides not to respond so I have to battery pull to get it to work
See that button on the bottom left of my screen? Its called "screen off and on" free in market! This app plus volume wake is awesome! I'm very ocd about my power button!

Thank you!!!
I was using my phone this morning, then the screen turned off after I left it idle. Tried to turn it back on and got the Sprint logo and then the Samsung logo shortly after, and then it would turn off.
I tried power + home + vol-down, and shortly after that screen comes up it turns off again.
Do I just have a bad battery? I'm using the Gorilla Gadgets extended battery, but I'm at work and don't have access to my original. I also noticed that if I plug in the charger, the charging light doesn't come on.
Anything else I can try?
Oh wow, thanks for the speedy reply and for the heads up. I'll go ahead and give this a shot when I get home tonight

I don't doubt you at all, I just managed to confirm it. After slapping it around for a bit I finally got it to go to my home screen, then shortly after the "power off" menu came up, similar as to if I was holding down the power button and off it went.
I actually saw a video of someone flicking the power switch area with their fingers, I did that and managed to get the phone turned on, and have made sure to not touch the power button since then by installing a "screen off" app and it's been on this whole time. I'm guessing this is just a temporary fix and eventually it'll turn off again w/out me touching the power button?

When you're looking at the button which is obviously in the middle of the switch look at that Brown cardboard looking material... directly behind the button in that cardboard area use a very small flat head after you've used that needle or pin then dig out enough of it, so you can stick your screwdriver behind the button and it'll pop right out.

What you have is I'll guarantee 99.99% is a bad Power Button/Switch on your motherboard.
This was initially referred to as Sudden Death Syndrome... don't waste your money and buy a new battery, I assure you that's not it.
If you have a multi meter take your phone apart, it's very easy, there's a tear down video of how to on YouTube if you need a reference.

If anyone takes this advice PLEASE be sure to test with a multimeter to be sure this is the problem. I don't even know if the multimeter test will tell you anything (I'm no electrician) but this advice will permanently disable your phone. I was recently having a problem with my phone restarting and Jessooca guaranteed me that the problem was the power button.
The problem wasn't the power button. The problem was corrupt data/cache in one of my apps. Clearing the data/cache fixed the problem.
I just don't see how someone can make guarantees and be 99.909% sure of anything. Every problem can be caused multiple ways.
A few months ago I had a problem with my phone failing to startup and in that case it WAS the battery. So that's two different times I have personally experienced boot up/shutdown problems that were not related to the power button. It's just crazy to make guarantees and say you are 99.99% sure about anything without any troubleshooting. Especially for a problem like this that can have multiple causes.
I know I'm late on this thread, but just in case others come here looking for advice on how to fix their power button. I have fixed many of these by soldering on new buttons, and it's a pretty easy fix if you are good at soldering and have a good microscope. What's not an easy fix is trying to replace all those little tiny resistors and capacitors soldered on right next to the power button. They're about the size of a grain of sand, and although I usually can get them replaced and make the phone work, it takes much longer, so be careful if you're going to attempt any kind of diy repair!
I would also say that the only way I've personally gotten these power buttons to work other than replacing them is by cleaning them and lubricating them. A good electronic contact cleaner/lubricant works best, but acetone followed by WD40 works pretty well. Just saturate them with the cleaner and click them a bunch of times to work the cleaner in... then do the same thing with the lubricant. Doesn't always work, but it's unlikely to make the problem worse, and if you it doesn't work you can send it to me to fix!

So, I know our phones are getting old, but I was wondering if anyone has experienced issues with, shall we say, an itchy power button? I was having some stability issues with my GS3. Some issues were clearly software-related, so I wiped and started fresh with new firmware and a fresh ROM (running AICP). However, during the process, I removed the phone from the case (Otterbox commuter case) and noticed that the power button is a little wiggly and super sensitive, and sometimes doesn't "unpress" after I use it to shut off the screen and lock the phone, causing a forced reboot and problems getting it to fire up again. Also causes issues trying to force the phone to restart into download and/or recovery and instead sometimes bootloops because the button is still activated/"pressed". Pretty much any time I (or my pants pocket) touch the power button, it powers down and I have to gingerly restart and pull on the rubber button on the case to keep it from a boot loop.
Anyone have any ideas? I know the phone is old and probably not worth paying for a repair, but I can't afford a new phone and with lollipop it's otherwise still running pretty well. I'm trying to access the power menu from the dropdown instead of actually using the physical button, and using the home button to wake the phone, but it's freakin' annoying when the phone shuts down in my pocket and I don't realize it.

this happened to me and after much research online found something silly that actually worked for me. grab a pencil, hold a couple inches away from power button, and firmly tap the power button with the pencil eraser end like 15 times and it might re-align. this worked for me for awhile but dont hit it too hard and break it. and ur phone case could possibly be causing it to happen as mine was. i used a razor to cut out the area around power button to stop this from happening and it hasnt happened in about 6 months. woked for me but maybe not u. but its free to try. good luck and let me know if this worked for u too like it has many others including 2 of my friends.
Cleaned the actual power switch inside, but it seems to be the external power button, which is all jiggly and worn out. I just ordered new buttons for under $5 and will report back when they arrive, but I think this is just a situation where the physical button lacks the return spring strength needed to disengage from the switch underneath after being pressed. It's been hella annoying, but if all it takes is a button swap I'll be happy.
Button switch on the board is dead. I don't have the tools to soldier a new one on, so I cut off the bad one and have been running sans-physical button. I used download mode to fire it up again.
I ordered a new board for it and will replace when I decide it's time to sell the phone. Found a like-new clean one on Amazon for $28. Done.
Hello there!
So I purchased a second hand Note 5, the global version, a week ago, and its been amazing so far!
However, I do notice that sometimes when I press the power button it registers twice, so if I press to lock the phone, the screen will turn off and then back on after a split second.
Now, is there any way to fix this? Since Xiaomi aren't very big here in Sweden I haven't been able to find any kind of support email, and honestly if I dont have to I dont want to send it in, I dont even know if that is possible due to not being first owner.
So really the ideal thing would be to try and fix it myself. Question I have there is, would swapping out the powerbutton flex cable fix this? Now, from what I've seen, it looks like a pretty straightforward thing to do, and I have poked around in phones before, so that would probably not be an issue.
Any kind of help on this is very appriciated!
I'm not an hardware repairer. So to avoid the button, I would use the software way to shut off the screen.

That's a good suggestion actually. However, I do very much like my power button, so I would like to get it fixed. xD
Yes, I understand. That is why I avoid a maximum to use the buttons, because they often are one of the weakest part of a smartphone. I use gestures most of the time and for screen light and volume my favorite app is VolumeSlider. Good luck for your fix.

Little update: I popped the back off the phone (which was a nightmare without a good prying tool btw), and I didn't have any issues with the power button. That does not say much tho, since its very random, and does not appear when I want it to...

Hmm, you say you're the 2nd owner, right? Then the power button can be somewhat worn down from the high usage of the previous owner. I may be mistaken, you should try to restore phone to factory settings or flash the rom again. If it won't help, then just buy power button, it's pretty cheap and replace it. It isn't very hard to do.

Yeah, it could be wear of course, didnt actually think of that lmao, i just read about there being a bug with some of the early batches. Anyhow, since im unlocking it when the timer has gone out in 50 hours (yay), then I can see if its the fault of the rom, which I really doubt honestly, since its so random. And if it gets unbearable ill order the button PCB on eBay and swap it out.
I got the same problem, i don't know what's the cause and how to fix it, but is very annoying.
At first time, this problem didn't happen. After some months. It started. By using with the official case occurs more often than using without it.
It is not a hardware issue. It comes from kernel. Power denounce time is too low. I think all custom kernels have included a fix for it which just an increase of this time.
I Think It's Hardware Issue
I'm Facing the same problem
I use double press to turn on torch with power button it flashing when I locked my device
I think its a hardware problem
My device is Global version

This is interesting, to me it would seem strange if it was a kernel issue, since its a very random and unpredictable behavior. In my mind, if it was an issue with the kernel, wouldn't it happen every time I pressed the power button?

I guess that the button doesn't behave exactly the same every time. Sometimes it may respond quick enough and sometimes maybe not. Have in mind that it is a matter of milliseconds.

That could make sense, do you know any kernel that fixes this?

I think that every kernel has fixed it. Icecold, purecoffee, agni for sure. And others too. I suggest icecold. It's the best for me!

Huh, thats nice! I'm still waiting for the bl unlock countdown, when its done i'll flash one of those and test!
That's weird, my Note 5 Power Button behaves like it should, without any so called "fix" I'm still having locked bootloader and I'm on the latest Global Beta 9.4.18 with Android Pie.

Yeah. It could either be different batches maybe, or as im leaning towards, hardware related...
I have the same problem It's annoying !
Have the same problem too. Global version, all stock.
