My power button has been unresponsive more and more. This morning my battery fell out and the power button is not working yet again. I took it apart and the button seems to function properly but it is unresponsive for some reason. The phone works fine other than the power button issue. I'm wondering if there is a different way to power up my phone other than the power button.
Thanks
Some custom roms will power on the device when you plug in the charger. There's also roms that'll let you wake the screen with the volume buttons (may even be an app for that). Sorry I can't name specific roms...I just can't remember which ones do it.

If the power button isn't working properly, take it back in to Sprint. It's under warranty.

Normally if a phone bootloops/crashes you remove the battery. Seeing as this phone lacks the ability to do so, what do you do if your phone bootloops/crashes ?
If you press and hold the power button for 10 seconds it acts as if you pulled the battery

Volume Up + Volume Down + Power
3 finger salute works. Work made me attend a HTC training seminar the other day.

After my phone fell, I popped the battery back in and started it, it started fine, but then I turned on Bluetooth and it immediately restarted, after it restarted it was fine, but then it wanted to turn Bluetooth on again and then it restarted, and it did that again and again.
I also couldn't turn off Bluetooth because it is already turned off, but the phone wants to turn it back on and in that second (the Bluetooth logo shows in the notification bar for a second) it restarts once again.
So if there is anything I can do to disable Bluetooth, I would love it but I don't think there is.
So I want to do a hard-reset because I don't have time to do anything when the phone starts. So I pressed the two volume buttons and the power button, it shows a screen, I choose recovery mode using the volume buttons, and then after I press on the power button to choose it, it shows a dead Android with a red rectangle and an exclamation mark in it, after a while it reboots again, and nothing happens.
I'm running Jelly bean 4.1, non-rooted, on a GSM/Unlocked Galaxy Nexus.
I recently bought this phone and I feel miserable, please help me.

In stock recovery there is a key combination that needs to be pressed to get to get to the options (e.g. Factory Reset)
What is this key combination, I pressed all of the keys to go into the 'boot menu' and after chose recovery mode using the power button.Is there anything else I should do
Select recovery then after u see the droid screen.. Press and hold power then hit the vol up key and release

I honestly don't remember. Once in recovery you have to press a specific combination (maybe volume up + power OR volume down +power) to get to the options menu in stock recovery (dead Android with a red rectangle and an exclamation mark).
:Edit: what LiquidXed said :cyclops:
I managed to get there. do i select wipe data / factory reset
too late, I already did it
Really?

Test it. Then you'll know if the problem was hardware or software.

What are you trying to do? Get into recovery?

thanks dear..............
With the Note 3 you can hold the power button for 10+ seconds and the phone will restart. This was great for using custom roms where the phone froze. Is there a way to do this on the Note 4?
The power button doesn't seem to do it.

Hold volume up/down and the power button for a hard restart............
Thanks !!
I've noticed that holding the power button for ~10 seconds no long turns off the note for a soft reset. Is there another key combo or is it just me?
Power and volume down
