I got my Note 2 last Friday. On saturday the lock screen button stopped working and I couldn't figure out why. Couple hours later it started working and did work up until about 5 hours ago. Now it still will not work. I cannot lock the screen or turn the phone off. I even pulled the battery to restart the phone but that didnt work.
Has anyone had this problem or know how I can fix it? Driving me crazy!

I have the same problem. Did you fix yours?

For the past couple days I've been having issues with my power button. It seems that, for about half the day, the power button will not work at all. I can't bring the screen back up or shut the screen off. Also every now and then the power menu that comes up when you hold the button down would just come up by itself. The other half of the day it seems to work just fine. For now I've just set it up so the screen never turns off, but obviously that drains power and will make me butt-dial everybody. I took it into a Sprint store but of course it started working like 10 mins before I got there so all I got was a "failed to reproduce problem" thing. After much haggling on the phone with them today I convinced them to send me a replacement, although it's backordered. Has anyone else had an issue like this with theirs? I searched around and couldn't find much. Does anyone know a way I can lock the screen without turning it off? That would come in handy while I wait for the replacement.
Dears, help me please!
I have my nexus 7 for 3 months. It was working pretty fine before... BUT... last thursday I left it charging overnight, I woke up turned the tablet alarme off and put it on a backpack to travel.
When I tried to turn it on the screen just did nothing!! The strange thing is: when I got mail it notifies me... the pulse light is active but the screen doesn't show.
I tried to charge it, hold the power button, hold the power + volume down buttons and nothing solved.
Anyone has/had the same problem?
I have the same problem. It happened a couple times already but I could not figure out why it happens. When I push the power button long enough it just restarts. It happens only when its laying around a couple hours like over night.
The tablet returned from the repair.
It seems like they changed the mainboard. Sadly there was something behind the camera glas and there were scratches on the screen. So they had to send it in again. Then they also changed the screen. All this took about 3 weeks.
I suggest claim for repair its definitely a hardware issue. Now my Nexus is running flawless and I am waiting for the Lollipop update.
You could also just try holding volume down + power for about 30 seconds. I've had a couple of freezes before where holding down the power button did nothing. But, holding down power + volume down worked. This is assuming you weren't flashing or doing something else, this is only if you were using the tablet as normal and it just suddenly won't turn on.
Just wondering if anyone else has been experiencing a lag for the screen to turn on from a booted phone with screen off. I'm on fw 4.4.2 nuts stipped version. It can take up 8 to ten seconds for the screen to turn on sometimes other times a couple of seconds, if so has anyone found a fix for this other than wait for 233. Ps it only happens when swipe or security enabled for lock screen. With option none all works ok
Moments ago my Tab S shut down after trying to exit a game. Suddenly the game froze, screen went dark for a minute while the capacitive buttons stayed lit and gave feedback. Then it was dead. Kept pressing the power button but it would not turn on. After doing some searching I tried pressing the power button while pressing volume up and fortunately it turned on again. I did notice the back was a bit warm but not HOT. Anyone have a clue as to what may have happened?
Funnily enough the exact same thing happened on my s5 when trying to exit from an app. Only happened once, but could never figure out why.

I had my original tab freeze on me several times. Got a replacement from John Lewis'. No problems with new one. See if u can get yours exchanged. It might be a batch issue
Thanks guys. I couldn't replicate the issue, even after opening up a few games and leaving them all open at the same time. I should be ok.
I updated my tablet 2 days ago and ever since my display will not turn on again after I lock it or it goes to sleep. Everything works fine if I restart and I can use the device normally until the display shuts off for the first time, after which I cannot get it to turn on again. The capacitive touch buttons light up when I touch the screen or the home button as they normally would. I have tried a factory reset and it has not fixed the problem.
Does anyone know what might be the cause? I have never rooted the device.
