Hello. I posted something in the ICS thread since I thought it was an ICS issue but... it seems the power button in my 4G Touch has suddenly stopped working. The phone rebooted randomly and then the key just won't register. It doesn't go to sleep, or turn back on or anything. Heck, I even did a factory reset (its a stock ICS) to see if that resolved the issue and no... No go. The button click so it doesn't feel like its broken or anything, though it has a good cover.
What could have happened? Is it ICS related or did it just... stop working? =/
i had the same problem with my og epic....the button was clicking but it wasnt working...took the phone to sprint and they replaced the phone...i guess it was from too much flashing...lol...after that i started using quickboot...

Literally just had this issue. I thought it was from AOKP, but turns out it was just hardware. Sprint couldn't fix it for me so had to get a replacement. The button was just broken on the inside.

I just had this issue today actually. The button wouldn't register any presses and my phone kept turning off. Couldn't lock the screen.

Common problem with this phone. The one year warranty, which everyone is still covered under, covers it. Take it into a sprint corporate store for help.

Same problem here, I plan to take it into a sprint store for repair/replacement and I want to unroot my phone and revert it to a stock rom before hand but I need the power button to do so...heh... any ideas? Thanks!
Power Button Not Working SGS4 Not Sleeping SOLVED
OMG I was at my wits end with this brand new phone. Power button worked fine but would NOT put the phone to sleep. Nor would the phone sleep on its own. Wakelock checkers revealed nothing. Then, by pure luck, I did something with the Android SDK which brought up the logs... and Lo! and Behold! I saw this:
Power Manager Service: Check if boot animation finished
Power Manager Service: Check if boot animation finished
Power Manager Service: Check if boot animation finished
Power Manager Service: Check if boot animation finished
Power Manager Service: Check if boot animation finished
Now putting aside the fact that it was "Finding out whether" not "Checking if," this told me what was up.
What had happened was that I had deleted the boot animation files and not replaced them. I THOUGHT I had replaced them, but I had not. Ergo the constant checking thereof.

SGS4? We talking the device or the ROM? You can also delete the boot animation from the /system/media folder and it will just use the stock Samsung boot animation buried in the ROM's code, my guess is you've got more going on than you think you do. You might want to take a look at this thread to see just what's up.
(Yes, shameless self-plug...)

The device would not sleep or turn off the screen because the boot animation files were missing (which was my fault).

After some negotiating with my girlfriend I decided I’d buy an Android phone, an HTC Desire from PDAShop.be, where I’ve bought my previous HTC Touch 3G.
As always, the delivery of the phone was quick and soon I unpacked the phone and started playing around with it. I improrted contacts from SIM to phone and linked them to Facebook and Twitter contacts. Piece of pie. I also installed some apps and games from the Android Market (no paid apps here in Belgium, yet) and fiddled around with them, as I also did with various settings in the HTC Sense UI.
After a few hours playing with the phone, I went outside with the phone in my back pocket of my jeans, and I heard the HTC startup again. I thought that somehow I managed to press the power button by accident. Nope, the phone restarted several times on different occasions.
When I went to sleep, the phone was on and the battery was almost charged to 60%. The next morning, 8 hours later, the device was turned off and when I charged it via USB on the PC, the battery was fully drained… 0%!
I then called HTC support, and the kind person on the other end of the line listened to my story and told me I needed a hard-reset of the device. From the mail he sent me:
With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then briefly press the POWER button. 2. Wait for the screen with the 3 Android images to appear, and then release the VOLUME DOWN button. 3. Press VOLUME DOWN to select CLEAR STORAGE, and then press POWER. 4. When asked to confirm, press VOLUME UP

I tried that, but the phone just wouldn’t complete the hard-reset. So I called PDAShop and they told me that I could bring the phone in. I removed my SIM from Mobile Vikings and put it in my other phone and drove to them.
To my amazement the guy at the shop managed to hard-reset (without a SIM) the device, and stress-tested it with some rapid movements, changing styles in the UI, setting up a Live-wallpaper. The device didn’t freeze… So I drove back to home.
I put my SIM back in, and voila… the device started to hang on me again. I even tried the hard-reset with the SIM with no luck whatsoever. I contacted PDAShop again and the same person helped me further. He said I can send the phone back to them and they will replace it with a new one…
I really hope this isn’t becoming some part of long tragedy waiting to happen. I really want to enjoy this Android phone, as I am fed up with the current status of Windows Mobile on my brilliant HTC Touch 3G.
Hey
Sorry to heard your story, you must be very unlucky :/ . If it's of any comfort, my desire has a mobile vikings sim in it aswell and functions excellent, so it's probably a faulty model.
Sorry for you, it's probably a faulty device or a faulty ROM, either way, my phone and the ones of multiple other person works fine so keep hope!
I would advise you to recontact Coolbleu (aka pdashop) and tell them that you went there they did reset it and tested it but that it didn't fix the problem. I would be surprised if they wouldn't offer to give u a new one. (I bought several phones at coolbleu and I've always been happy with after sale support) BTW I'm also using Mobile Vikings (but on HTC Legend) and I don't have any problems with it at all.
@JonasDroid & @Cooki3s:
Good to know that, because the person at coolblue received some disturbing calls from people with MobileVikings SIM cards. How old are your SIM cards?
@All Thanks for the support, I really hope my next Desire will be somthing that I can actually enjoy
Will keep you posted.
Cheers!
I tried a hard reset again, but without a SIM and SD card inserted. This seemed to work.
I then did go through all the settings in the wizard and rebooted. Then I shut it down, inserted to SD again and I went into Settings > SD and Storage, unmounted the card, formatted it, and rebooted the phone. I stress-tested it for a while, and then I shut it down, inserted my SIM and it still works.
Could it be that some corrupt data on the card caused the instant reboots and faulty hard-resets?
I'm going to charge my phone and test it throughout the day to see if it still hangs/reboots on its own. Fingers crossed!
EDIT:
I spoke too soon... a few minutes later and the device was shut down when I tried to bring the screen back up. Now it reboots until it hangs itself... I don't hear the startup-sound either when it come to "Quitely Brilliant"
The phone will be sent back to pdashop!
Edit2:
I narrowed the problem down to a device-specific issue... It shuts down/freezes/reboots randomly even when no SIM and no SD card are in the device... I really hope the next device I'll receive doesn't have these issues
Have you got any apps installed on it? If so what? I had issues with some apps that changed the APN when the internet wasnt being used.

Basically my Lumia 900 will not connect to the Internet even though I have full bars of LTE. This is not the first time it happened. It happened a few days ago and I rebooted it a few times and it started working again. This time I have rebooted it over 20 times changed the sim and it is still not working. I went to the AT&T store and the employees said they sent back over 7 defective lumias with the same issue.
I took out the sim and put it in my new iPad and LTE was working fine. I hope this defective is not spread across so many more devices or there will be a lot of unhappy customers.
Hey there. This might sound a little basic but do a master reset, and one more master reset immediately after. I had that problem for maybe a week and its a weird problem with COU provisioning. Also send the COU team an email about the issue, they might do some stuff on the back end as well for you.you are an art employee, right? How else would you have this phone

Happened to me too. I just popped the sim card out while the phone was on. Put the card back in and then turned the phone off and then back on. Hopefully that fixes it for you. Did for me.
Nokia needs to put a soft reset button combination like the iPhone has since you can't do a battery pull. A soft reset is needed at some point in time on all smartphones. Not having a method to do it is a big error IMO.

Hold power button for a few seconds and swipe down to turn off/soft reset. Or go to settings app; under settings go to 'About' and push 'reset phone' for hard reset.
They are looking for a reboot option, not a full reset. Something similar to holding the home and power key on an iPhone.
This is the first WP with non removable battery so I haven't had to do it before. I'm sure there's a way. I know if you hold the volume down, camera and power when it's off it will restore the phone.
We've been getting serious issues too. I'm getting a new lumia tomorrow. Ive tried everything.

That's not a restore sequence. That will only place the phone in bootloader. If connected to a PC, and, a valid backup exists, a retire is possible. But that combination does not initiate a restore.
The only thing I've heard is extended holding of power key, ~10 seconds, initiates a reboot....not a reset or restore

If you hold the power key down for about 15 seconds, the device will power down. I had a freeze during the initial setup on my 900....that worked for me....
The Lumia 800 also has a non-removable battery. Here's how to do a hard and soft reset using hardware keys on that device. May work on the 900:

Those keys don't work on the 900.....Both combinations produce the same impact from a device that is power on...that is....off. The first action is the power slider....which can turn off the device. However, continue holding that combination will bring you to a OFF position. The same thing occurs with just holding the Power button for 10 seconds or so.
from an off position, I could not get those keys to react.
My data has been working great all day. Download a on of apps, browsed quite a bit to set up my bookmarks and downloaded music from Zune. My data speeds were around 25mbps all day.
Directly from the Nokia support site, reboot keystrokes.

Hold power key, 8-12 seconds.
Out of the blue my Data started working fine. My rep stated thattheir Lumia 900's had problems provisioning correctly

Try reinstalling the drivers on the computer. It might recognize in a way that you can get in. What version are you on and do you have custom recovery? May be able to mount that way.
Got an MHL Cable?
The screen on my Evo 3D died. Just went completely black 1 day. So I went to the store and they ordered me a new 1, said it would take 3 days.
Now I was stuck with this phone I couldn't use.
So I plugged my phone in my TV via MHL cable and BAM.
Was able to transfer everything and even make phone calls and send texts. (Voice to text)
Hope this helps.

(If you are on a custom ROM, choose the RESET restore option . If you're on EL29, you can do either the RESET or Preserve DATA, it doesn't matter on EL29)
Any option you choose, your pictures will not be deleted on the phone or SD card, messages and other data will
I would update or restore to FE16, ICS automatically sets MTP on, therefore the computer automatically finds the phone without switching settings.
Once you do this, you can retrieve your Pictures on the phone and SD card.

Putting the phone in odin mode is easy.
1. Set the restore or update file on your computer first with odin all-in-one.
2. Get your phone ready(take battery out and reinstall it)
3. Press and hold the volume down and power buttons for 4 seconds(I just tried it)
4. Wait 3 seconds, then press the volume up button.
5. Now with Odin set, plug your phone in to your computer and wait till you a (COM and a number to turn yellow in ODIN), then press start.
6. Wait till ODIN is done, unplug your phone, let the phone sit for about 10 minutes (let it start up and install every update it's going to)
7. Plug your phone into the computer and it will recognize it without having to touch the screen.
8. You'll get 2 options, Card and Phone
9. Choose either one, Click on DCIM on either one, choose camera and your pictures will be there for you to retrieve.
This is a screen shot of how ODIN will look like when it's opened

I was going to suggest Kies, but he said the screen didn't work. I figured I could help since I get that pop up on my laptop every time.

Hello guys.
Today I woke up to some strange events happening to my phone.
I left my phone turned on while I slept, as usual. When I woke up, I noticed that the phone auto brightness wasn't working at all. It was stuck at the minimum brightness and it wouldn't change even if I pointed the phone at the sun. Rebooting the device did not fix the issue.
After a while I decided to pass some music from the computer to the phone with the cable. The cable kept disconnecting the phone, like it had a bad contact. I had a really hard time to put my music on the phone (lot's of phone and PC reboots).
Then, when I finally put the music in it, I plugged the headphones and tried to listen to music, only to be presented with lots of white noise mixed with the music. The white noise "changed" if I moved the cable thingy. Again, reboot didn't fix the problem. I plugged the headphones in my computer and they worked just fine.
I left the phone alone and went on my business. Some time passed and I noticed that the LED light had a permanent green light that would just not go away. I managed to fix this by rebooting in safe mode and booting back to normal mode. This seemed to fix it permanently since it did not happen again.
Now, I tried to use my GPS to play some Pokemon Go. While I was playing I noticed that I was not able to use the button that made the map point in my direction. I installed a Compass app and to my surprise, it said that I didn't have a sensor for it. My compass seems to be gone.
I went ahead and did a factory reset. It did not work. Every single of those issues keeps happening.
Then I tried to use the "refurbish" option on LG UP. I'm always getting "Error: Error Code = 0x2000, Can't decide current device mode
Any suggestions? My device is the European with stock firmware. My S/N begins with 604. I really didn't want to send my phone to repair, I know it will take ages. RIght now in my city it has been really hot (43ºC in the shadow), but there's really nothing I can do about the heat. This never happened with my Galaxy S4 Mini. Help?
That sounds crazy!
Any possible water damage?
Try going to the service menu and testing everything from there. This is done by dialing a code in the dialer app.
So for the international version it is *#546368#*815#
For the Dual sim version it is *#546368#*818#
I assume for the NA version it is *#546368#*811#

Hey, thanks for the reply. And I told you it's too damn hot here so the only water contact the phone might have was with my sweat.
As for the tests, the phone failed Barometer, something called TL wrong and the proximity test. The GPS itself was fine tho

In that menu, try going to Device Test and choose SAAT. Then tap on Service Menu Manual Test and then tap on Key and next tap on Test then Cal Start. This will help you recalibrate the proximity sensors. Use your phone after the recalibration to check if it works properly.

Hello,
I have a problem with a Galaxy S9. It started acting up today and not registering touches.
It took me many many tries to access the recovery because it just wouldnt let me power down and all possible volume down /up, bixby and power combinations didnt seem to work and the screen often just stayed black while giving vibrations. So I finally were able to access recovery after 20 tries with vol down, bixby, power and then quickly change it to vol up.
Now comes the questions what I should do to troubleshoot. The recovery menu seemed pretty laggy as well.
I wiped cache and restarted, but no improvements. Touchscreen works every 30th press, screen sometimes flickers.
Issues:
Touchscreen doesnt work (every 30th press approximately)
accessing recovery is a game of luck
screen flickers (sometimes bright flashes) I attached a picture of one of those seizures
random vibrations
Last resort is a complete wipe but I'm hesitant because it seems likely to be a hardware issue and replacing the screen wouldn't require the need to delete all data.
I hope someone has an idea. What confused me most were the issue accessing recovery.
Thanks and Best Regards.

It's a issue with samsung. They dont know what it is. Either the screen or hardware. If it's under warranty that's your only option. Look up samsung green screen and you'll see

I'll check if the warranty is still valid. I dont know if you can help with this question as well:
The screen has had a little unobtrusive crack in one corner for a while, I suppose when they do a hardware repair they will have to replace the screen as well and charge for it? Or is it irrelevant in a warranty case?

I'll check if the warranty is still valid. I dont know if you can help with this question as well:
The screen has had a little unobtrusive crack in one corner for a while, I suppose when they do a hardware repair they will have to replace the screen as well and charge for it? Or is it irrelevant in a warranty case?
Thanks and BR
