send it to mobiletechvideos.com - they will fix it.
Or flash SearchAsPowerButton MOD along with Volume wake ROM - my ROM ICS supports it.
Wondering if anybody knows any places in Canada (GTA) where they might replace these? Sending it in to the states is a little expensive when considering shipping. =(
Yeah I have some issues with mine. It'll sometimes not lock the phone and it'll register as being held down instead. It's not too serious for me, though.

Just open up your phone and clean the dip switch with some rubbing alcohol, not to much but do it a couple of times. Make sure to let it dry before you turn it back on.
This fixed mine.

That worked for me as well. When I bought my phone, the power button was so sensitive that even the slightest amount of pressure on it would cause it to boot or turn the screen off. I was going to return the phone, but a few minutes work with alcohol and a Q-tip saved me the hassle.
Cleaning my button worked for me, but that was 3 months ago and now its back to not working. Worst part is that my volume buttons arent feeling to healthy either! Hopefully it holds on until upgrade time .
Don't be a p**** take your phone apart dab your button with some electronics cleaner and press the button a few hundred times and repeat and then put it back together.

If you guys are going to be opening the phone again at some point, it would be a great idea to take a couple of picture.
I think that my cappy is about to have the same issue (sometimes it doesn't recognize the power button) and it would be nice to have some king of guide to do the cleaning.
Try to clean around and inside or open it up and clean the power button, if that doesn't work you should just get a new phone. The captivate is already really old
do u think it can be solved by an upgrade

Yes, if you upgrade the phone, the new one comes with a new power button - problem solved!
Just use the rom that have option to wake the phone up by the volume rocker buttons. Also make sure to get screen off app to lock the phone up.
I opened my cappy and cleaned the button with contact cleaner, and now it works like new.

Hey now, some of us still like to keep our phones maintained until we do get a new phone
Or.... can't afford a new phone every 2 years... 199.99 isn't cheap (or 700 for unlocked and off contract)
Just Send It To Me

I think my power button might be where ing out. It was smooth and silent and was easy to click when I bought it. Now it is some what hard to click ( it needs more force ), and it makes a clicking sound that does not sound natural. Have you experienced this with the dinc 2 or with any phone you have used. Does the home button just get harder to use after a few months?
If you think there is something wrong with my phone, should send back to HTC for fixing (after I unroot it)?

So my power button is fried, and my replacement gets here on Monday, but I cannot live with a broken power button. So, any suggestions for app(s) that wake the phone using the volume key or something?
Bump. Need some help. D:

I'm running cm10 and under Settings» lockscreen» Screen Security there is an option to unlock the screen using the menu key (hard key on far left). Just tried it out, works flawlessly. Unfortunately I can't help you find the app you need and flashing a rom without using the power button may be problematic. Best of luck to you!

I would love to get CM, but the only problem is that since my power button is stuck, it's gonna be a pain to flash. And, not only that, as it is right now, since my power button is stuck, I was able to put it into ODIN mode and restore to stock unrooted to take it in, but I'm afraid that I might flash, and then the power button magically un-sticks, and then I'm screwed, cause I can't unroot it. Anyways, just today and tomorrow left, so not so bad. I actually think I can take it.

My volume down button isn't working. I got my phone very slightly wet yesterday and also pressed the volume button with a slightly we're hand, which I think is the culprit. Anything I can try to fix this? Should/Could I open up my nexus and fix it? Thankfully on android you can grab the volume when you change it

Do you have enough knowledge to fix it? http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung+Galaxy+Nexus+Teardown/7182/1
This might help you, so you can see the internals.
Since it is water damage, have you tried the rice trick?
I haven't tried the rice thing partly because I don't have rice. With the disassembly, I think I can handle it. I've done stuff like that before so I may try it later tonight.
My button works when I press a bit hard also so it may just be out of place.
Thanks.

All right. I just received a Samsung Galaxy S2 T-Mobile (White) from a friend.
It doesn't boot up to the Stock Android. It's not rooted it's completely stock.
When you start it up it just goes to the Samsung Logo Screen then into a Samsung Android 4G screen in which the loading bar gets a lil over halfway and it just turns off and restarts the process. I'm not sure whether it's the power button issue i've been seeing in the past. Or if it's something wrong with the motherboard power button area.
I am also providing a video I recorded just to see what happens when I put the battery inside an then press the power button.
I was wondering if anyone could give me any things to try to fix it or a possible solution as I would like to fix this issue and root the phone.
http://youtu.be/Ud4bb12gARw
Youtube of putting battery in and powering up.. An how the boot goes.
Is it constantly vibrating in your hand as it reboots? If so then most likely it's the power button
You could try circling around the power button with a pin. Blow it out then hit it with an eraser (or any large rubber item). That worked for me,

Ok, so i can't really tell if this particular problem has been posted before but from what i have looked through it has not. However, if i have just missed it then please just redirect me to it as long as it matches my problem so please read through my post before posting that its been done.
So moving along, as the title says i have a Samsung Galaxy s2 SGH-T989 and i've been running CyanogenMod 10.2. Oh and before i forget, the battery is not dead and just in case i've tried to turn it on while plugged in only to get the same results. Anyways over the past 24 hours my phone started shutting off randomly to the point now that it shuts off before finishing booting. If it does finish it doesn't stay on long enough to do anything and sometimes it barely turns on.
Has this been heard of before and even if not what can i try or do?
Three words:
Broken power button
Apparently it's a very common issue with this phone.
It has yet to happen on my phone. I hope it never does lol.
You can try replacing the button yourself or take it to a cellphone repair shop.
Sounds right, the button is difficult to replace, best to have a shop replace it. I have fixed a couple by tightening the button. You tube, easy power button fix t989 by iamkambodian. Only if you're OK with taking it apart.
Ps, you can feel the button click if it's good.

Well i tried the method in the video and that doesn't seem to have fixed it. Also not entirely sure its the power button but i don't really know how to tell either. Anyways if there are any other ideas please let me know.
This is what I did when I messed up a recovery: plugged it in the computer and held all 3 buttons until Samsung then just volume up. It got me into download mode where I used Odin to flash another recovery.
