Two reasons:
-Button itself is damaged or have dirt where is suppose to make contact. If you don't know how to open your Play, leave that to proffesionals in repairs
-Flex cable is damaged. Replace it yourself or in repairs/service (wichever is avaible to you)
-Software error. Highly unlikely, but maybe. Flashing stock firmware will tell is it software error or not
The thing you can do to see what is damaged is next:
Power off phone and start flashtool in PC
Hold back button and doeas flashtool that you are in flash mode.
Repeat again, but this time with various combinations:
-press in different angle button itself (if it's button damaged, it might make contact in specific position)
-Open slider and see is back button working (in case of flex error, sometimes it works when slide is open, but not when slider closed)
-In case of software error, even circle button won't work as "back" in launcher/menues
Always remember costum roms can do anything

Circle on the gamepad acts as back button as well

Same thing happened to me though mine was due to me dropping my phone. I would give HTC a call in the first instance and try and get it fixed for free under warranty
My phone is rooted and has a custom rom so i am able to bypass this issue by having the phone wake on track ball and i have downloaded a few apps
screen off and lock (this is then mapped to long press on the search key
quick boot (to restart the phone, this requires root access to work)
after a few hours you get used to the alternative way to switch the screen on and off.

I had the same problem with the desire HD, happened suddenly installed nolock as a tempory solution, and was going to take it in under warranty for repair. It is caused by a stuck power button. Heres how I fixed mine. As a last resort, I removed the battery sim card cover and battery cover so that all I was holding was the Ali uni body section. with my finger and thumb I began flicking the chrome button with my nail, as if you were flicking a pea accross the table, after about 30 seconds of flicking the little chrome button popped out slightly, when holding it by your ear and pressing it you can now hear a click. Maybe a dust particle or something from my pocket caused mine not sure, but it was moisture or software related. Hope this helps someone who maybe hasthe same problem.

i'd say give htc a call
hope u find a solution soon..
Hi guys.
So i managed to get my desire wet/damp and whilst it still works it has developed 3 issues:
1) The weirdest of all - the phone wont go into standby, as soon as you press the power button or let it timeout the screen goes off and they instantly turns back on to the lock screen. If i leave it, it will timeout again on lockscreen and come back on, it does this forever. I have done factory resets etc, all the same. Weird right
2) Volume keys do not work - think means i had issues getting into recovery. Finally found a widget to do it and then....
3) Trackpad does not work in recovery so i cannot re-flash or try any new rom to see if that fixed (1)
Proper catch 22
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks
Brisgstfer
UPDATE
OK I HAVE AN UPDATE:
The plot thickens but i have managed to S-OFF my Desire and eventually install Clockworkmod Touch which obviously doesn't require me to use the trackpad button so I was able to use Recovery. I wiped the phone and tried reflashing the ROM i had been using (Insertcoin) but this made no difference, the phone still keeps waking up immediately that it goes to sleep (either with power button or by sleeping timeout).
So i decided to install a completely different ROM (CM10_VJ_4.1.2_v3.0) and this installed fine. Now the phone will go to sleep and stay asleep if I press the power button. Problem solved I thought!
Now when the phone is asleep 50% of the time, trying to wake it with the power button will cause it to reset immediately and goto the white HTC screen. When it restarted it sits on the unlock screen and keeps timing out, screen goes off, then immediately on again - weird. If i unlock and lock with power button it will behave. For some reason the Search key will wake the phone every time no issues. Only the power key to unlock causes it to reset. Phone is sleeping according to Battery info.
Any other suggestions for what I could try. Could this possibly be something hardware related now? If there a way i can log the key presses or reason it wakes/resets?
Any help really appreciated, the phone is pretty unusable with this reset issue now.
THanks

May be a hardware issue. But try installing a lighter ROM like dGB or MildWild and see if the issue persists.

Thanks mate. So i tried this and installed CM7 today and have discovered something. As i said above the volume down button doesn't work and the volume up only works with some persuasion. Once i installed CM7 the problem where I lock phone with power key and it instantly wakes up now persists (on the JB rom it at least stayed asleep but reset if power button was pressed again).
However whe i changed the display timeout to 15seconds i watched as it timed out and instantly woke then noticed the volume would increment down one notch each it woke up again. This leads me to think that rather then the volume down not working at all it is actually stuck down permanently and could be causing the issue here. Is there any way I can find out if this is the case and disable the volume keys through software or do i need to open up the phone and disconnect it?
Thanks for any help - i think we are getting there!

Flash a ROM which can be unlocked via trackpad and volume can be adjusted from the phone settings without touching volume keys and the power button on the top.
I recommend MildWild5.8 based on CM7. When I was on it, I totally forgot about volume and power keys because all the phone operations can be done without them.
Thanks thats a great suggestion. I actually worked out that the trackpad is being pressed down constantly too because on CM7 when i disable trackpad to wake the phone actually stays asleep.
Is there any way to disable both volume and trackpad buttons at the kernal/system level?
Good Day everyone
I just updated my xperia S with an official JB 4.1.2 software and discovered a power button problem. The issue is it sometimes needs to be pressed three times in order to light the screen. When the screen off i press it and nothing happens except the white stripe with back, home and menu marks on the bottom lights but screen is still black, i press it again - stripe flash is off, and only when i press it after all i did before the screen at last is on, i need to press the power button at least 3 times to switch my screen on
did anybody had the same experience?
thanks

Hi. I have a HTC One X and while I was at work last week my phone was working fine. when i had a break I went to check my phone and it would not turn on. Everytime I press the power button the camera flashes. Iv tried charging it and plugging it into my pc. the charging light doesn't show up and it doesn't connect to pc either as if i never plugged it in. Try to flash it but bootloader wont appear on the screen. Please help.
Does it power off if you hold the power button for 10 seconds?

I had a similar problem a few weeks ago, although mine wasn't the camera flashing, it was the torch. I solved the problem by powering off and installing another rom. If the phone is powered on, hold the power button down until the hardware keys at the bottom start flashing and continue to hold until the flashing stops. Mine took about 30 seconds until the capacitive buttons started flashing then about another 4 or 5 seconds to stop flashing and power off. You should then be able to get into the bootloader

For me it was software, I had inadvertently set the torch to flash on pressing the power button, it worked fine with the screen on but once the screen went off it wouldn't come back on so I had to follow the steps above

ahaan thats weird never heard of this problem before
Hey ,i have the same problem as well. I thought i was the only one. i am thinking about taking it to the shop to see if they could fix it. I keep pressing the power button and eventually it would turn back on and work fine again. I've tried installing different Roms and even installed the stock rom but still the same problem. I would use it for a couple of days then randomly it would just go black and just camera flash every time i press the power button. Guessing its a hardware problem since i've tried different roms?
Hi everyone I have a problem with my xperia play which has left me without a phone. As many of you may know about the problem you get when you have a faulty flexcable, well that happened to mine and we tried fixing it, it seemed to of worked but now when I try to press on my power button, it won't press down. I'm sure I know it's because inside the phone where you press the power button it had a small kind of black stick " I would say the motherboard, maybe I don't know" inside the power thing inside the phone. So basicly, when I try to press on the power button, nothing will happen, it won't press down or turn the phone on. Does anyone know how I can fix this or buy one of them small stick things? Any help would be great thank you
