Hello. The power button on my One V started to fade out and I wonder what to do now. The button needs to be pressed harder to switch my phone on. I want to CM9 into my phone (I havent unlocked the bootloader yet or done anything).. but this will mean I will lose my warranty... should I wait for the button to fade out completely and then send it for repairment or should I flash CM9 and wish that the button won't fade anymore?
Thanks for your response ...

flashing cm9 has nothin to do with your button....its the fault of the phone itself....not the software
send it for repairs and then flash roms :good:
I think you should try sending it in now.
Get a replacement as soon as possible, and go on your merry rom-flashing way

Hello everyone,
I received my cousin's phone asking me to see if I can repair it for him. I've tried turning it on and there is the initial vibrate, and thats it. No sound and no display. Nor do the buytons light up. It's like there is no andriod installed at all lol. I have mangead to get it to boot in hboot but again, there is no display. I don't know but could the screen be dead? Is there any advice that may help fix the phone?
I don't even know what firmware it would be running. All I have managed to do it install the HTC Bootloader while trying to root it.
Thanks all in advance
Simon
Go to hboot --> clean storage
if it not works:
did you rooted? if yes, with clockworkmod installed, you can make a hard reset and install other rom
Hello anmnimo95,
Can you tell me how many times I have to press volume - then power button as ike I said, my screen is completely blank, even on hboot mode. It doesnt look like the screen or the front buttons are powering on but the phone itself seems to power up as it vibrates to say its on.
I don't think this phone is rooted but I can't exactly see it as, like i said, screen seems dead

you have to press volume+power pressed at the same time for 3-5 seconds
sorry, i meant as in the hboot menu. I can get into it but i dont know how many time i need to press vol- to get to that option
right.. found the source of the problem. Decided to dig deep into the phone... LCD digitzer and the LCD screen ribbon cables are broken. Going to replace these in the hope that it will work. FINGERS CROSSED!
After heavy use of this 1 year old phone, my power button has like dugged into my phone and it's sort of hard trying to press the power button, so is there anyway to fix this without replacing the phone?

Does anyone know how to get the HTC One X out of Safe Mode? I tried turning off the phone and turning it back on...nothing and also the down button doesn't work at all, maybe a part of the safe mode.
Try running ruu in bootloader

when I get to bootloader only the up volume button works, I can get to my home screen on the phone, it just has that "safe mode" in the lower left hand corner and it wont allow 3rd pty apps to run at all. I downloaded the stock ruu from xda to my laptop. going to give that a shot when i get home. I just thought maybe there was a button combo to fix it.
Have you tried holding the power button for 10 seconds (or however long it is) to simulate a battery pull.
Other than that, maybe try turning on with both volume down + volume up held as it boots up?

this may be your clue. Sounds like a hardware fault with the vol+ button stuck down on boot.
Either that or your battery died while installing something.
Fixed
Pressing and holding the power button until the three lighted buttons at the bottom flaedh solved the issue for me. I also had a good press and release of the volume buttons first but presume it was the hard reset that did it as I'd tried messing with the buttons already.

I hope it is merely the volume key being stuck for some weird reason, fixing it is pretty straightforward: release the cover and carefully detach the screen. The volume buttons along with the power button will fall off. Try replacing them or perhaps turning the volume keys.
If the keys are not the cause you'd better hope you didn't void warranty.

I got it out of safe mode by adb reboot not sure if that helps but it worked for me...And not as easy as you make it sound to disassemble the one either... There are 2 youtube videos on one the guy is using guitar picks ot take it apart.

oh sorry didnt notice it was a year old I merely searched how to get htc one out of safemode this came up so i figured id say how i got out of it...doesnt really matter how old it is as long as the info is pertinent.
I was just wondering, not attacking

My phone was stuck in Safe Mode because the volume down button was stuck down all the time, if you can get the button out and restart your phone it will go back into normal mode. And yes I know the post is old but maybe someone is still looking for an answer
thanks for the info ignor the nego dude u helped me
does anyone else's power button only seem to push down on the left side? I feel like i have the hardest time unlocking/locking my phone because the entire right half of my power button does not function. I really don't want to send my phone back in and worry about relocking/flashing stock if its a common problem. Otherwise if im the only one having this issue i'd probably send it back in because its rather annoying.

Some ROM's have the option to unlock the screen when you press the volume rocker. See if your ROM has such an option?
Edit: My power button's fine though.
My power button is really recessed and is hard to press on it's own. That's how I got the phone and I thought it was normal like that. I got a silicone case with a power button "pusher" on it that helps unlock the phone. Its a piece that sticks into the phone and when you press it, it helps press the power button.

My power button is the same as you describe. I personally wouldn't exchange it due the the problems people are having getting s-off on the new replacements. A rom that let's you unlock with the volume button might be a good choice as someone else mentioned.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA
My power button has been that way since I first got it over a year ago, no change. It seems to be normal.
Hey guys,
I recently installed a new rom but it kept turning off if i take any action so I used Odin and went back to stock unrooted. It was okay for half a day
and it started to shut off randomly as well.
*NOW it's in a constant boot loop. Once I insert the battery it vibrates and turns on by itself and shows the Tmobile logo for a sec and turns off -> vibrate x infite showing black screen
I was told that this could be a "sticky power button, stuck power button" so I opened the housing and used air can, and kinda cleaned and messed around a bit but I dont see how it will fix anything (Suggestions please!) Didn't look like it was sticky or stuck at all @@
I can't get into download / recovery mode because phone just shuts off before I can do anything and vibrates over and over.
Is my phone bricked? or that sticky power button issue? I heard theres not really a simple cure for the stuck power button.... is there?
Does samsung do anything about this even though device is out of warranty? I'm so confused atm >< please share your thoughts and guide me please!
Try

Try holding down the volume up and volume down, then hold down the power button until it vibrates twice then release the power then volume buttons. Not sure if you have tryed this yet but that should boot you into recovery.
I dont think that your phone is bricked. I had the same problem and thought the same thing you have. That maybe it bricked or what not. I tried flashing different roms and that didnt work. I went to a repair shop and I got my power button repairs and I flashed it back to stock 4.1.2 unrooted. It has been working fine for me ever since. You might just need to get yours repaired. Hope this helps.
it's not bricked, this happened to me about a month ago. Your power button is broken most likely and needs to be replaced. I got mine fixed for $40.

Google search is a prerequisite for troubleshooting. Here's a couple links which might help, if it's actually a bad power button.
