My samsung galaxy s2 has sensitive power button for some reason. I'm not sure if its the roms i have been flashing. But im on IML74K_Ics_Perfection_UCLD2 and if the slightest touch on the power button turn on my phone when it is off. Or it can turn it when the phone is locked. But i can even press it all the way down for even a split second without it rebooting and going into a bootloop and taking me many tries to actually boot up. Is this a hardware problem with my phone should i restore my phone to stock and return back to tmobile or is this a ics problem with the roms?

Have you tried using any different roms? Is the issue still present? I haven't had or read about this issue before, and I've tried my fair share of roms.
I have tried the darkside roms but im starting to think its the phone and i think is should get it replaced then.
Yeah it shouldn't be so sensative.

i just started experiencing this last night. RIGHT after getting my battery replaced after two weeks of dealing with that problem and finally realizing it was my battery and not my phone. then i tried to take a screenshot of my new battery stats (without all of the huge sudden depletions) and my phone reset as if i held the power button down for 5 seconds. i read about a woman in india getting her button repaired for 550 rupees ($10), but i'm wondering if i should just get a whole new unit and be done with it. the problem with that is dealing with setting up all my apps over again. i have titanium backup (root version) but the last time i got a new phone it didn't put all my apps back on my phone. maybe i did something wrong. i'll email them for detailed instructions and see if it's better to get the button or the phone replaced.
Definitely the power button! After I hardbricked and revived it, my phone had an internal short, which made my phone constantly power off my phone, restart my phone over and over, etc. Josh at mobiletechvideos had to try and work around. He disabled my power button and remapped the wake buttons. So now I wake this phone via the volume rockers on roms that support that
I digress. If you can't send it to T-Mobile to get repaired, give mobile tech videos a shot. Just 35$ and they're super swift

I wonder what's actually causing this power button thing??
I was literally just browsing email, clicking around a little fast, back to home screen and FLASH!!! my camera flashes and all this same $hit starts happening...boot loop, sensitive button, booting out of recovery mode even. I just doesn't add up to sudden button failure...does it??? Why would the camera just flash out of nowhere? Some of the boot loops would also get interrupted and start over. Recovery mode is also kind of screwy. I tried to restore to a backup of Beastmade rom and it just reflashed Sith, the same rom I've been on!! And all my other backups/nandroids are missing. Something is fishy here.
I did recently go to TWRP and have been on the Sith Rom (clones & drones).
Yep its the power button ! I had this problem a month ago , but for me it completely went away .. maybe something was just stuck in between and the constant pressing of the button loosened whatever it was

The thing that has me curious is how mine started acting up. I wasn't even touching the power button. I was just clicking around gmail, went to home screen, the camera flashed and it started boot looping. It would sort of zap out in the middle of a reboot like there was a power issue and lot of other stuff was messed up including TWRP recovery! This tells me there is something else going on...more ROM related. Seems like all this started happening when these ICS ROMS dropped...none of them are as stable as Juggernaut, Paradox, etc...NONE of them. My power button does indeed seem defective, but it almost seems like it was a bi product of something else.

ROM related. No. Its a faulty power button. Been many threads describing your situation. Ends up being a faulty power button. Mobiletech offers a power button service. Its reasonably priced.

Sent mine for repair of power button. Waiting for it to come back. I bricked it after I contacted them trying to restore to factory and they replaced the PBA (motherboard) as well.

I was lucky enough to get flashed back to stock and have a warranty replacement on the way. Still has me wondering if something else wasn't up. Just seems like all the ICS based ROMs have been very buggy compared to the very stable Gingerbread builds. I sure enjoyed my rooted phone but this has been a PITA losing my device...it's my work and life! I haven't been stock in so long it will be interesting to click around a bit and see if I'm not better off stock. I'm due for an upgrade next month so I may well be on to an S3 or whatever else is out.
Just got my replacement this afternoon!!! Man...what a couple of days it's been without it! Holy crap, I had no idea.
Anyway the new phone shipped with 4.04. So that's cool. So far THIS is the most stable ICS rom I've used. :silly:
I know this post is ancient, but ....
Two years later, I'm experiencing this power button problem and I'm on KitKat - SlimKat 7.0 stable.

Dah... just went locally to have it serviced... got screwed at 100$...
Should have searched online before...
I had the SAME EXACT issue. I had to literally remove my power button because my device would reboot every few minutes. I use the volume keys to wake the device and sleep shortcut in the notification bar to sleep. If my device turns off, I have to turn it on with a USB, which is a major hassle but I've grown used to it.
Is there any way to set the power button not to work while the phone is locked?
I constantly facing the problem that the phone switches off and restart in my pocket. It happens when I lean my body to tight the shoes or squeeze the phone in my pocket in some other way.
Thanks

Eh?
Whilst your phone is in your pocket, you can press power button, then swipe to unlock (before screen timeout) & then long press power button till it restarts - all whilst in your pocket?
I highly doubt this, sounds like you have software issues - are you running a unstable OC/UV?
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
I can restart the phone by long press the power button. Even when the lock is on. Without unlocking it.
I checked on my friends htc v, which is even not rooted, and it works the same. While the phone is locked long press on the power button causes restart..
I was just wondering if can change that. Never had that problem with the sensation, but that one is a bit smaller

Yeah, sorry.
I didn't think you could reboot whilst locked, just checked on my own and your correct.
Wish I had a solution for you, but at least my reply has bumped you to the top. LOL
I havnt heard anyone have this problem before, the power button only sticks out a little bit, and it needs a bit of force to push
Maybe this is an overlooked request to be submitted to some of the custom rom developers.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
Yeah, I've also looked in goggle but nobody seems to have similar problem.. .
It may be a fault of my cover. The lock of the cover is right above the power button and mayby they just didn't design it correctly..

Besides a phone case no solution
the reason for the long press is it is a life saver.
As we cannot take the battery out of the one x like the sensation, if you are frozen or stuck on bootscreen, you cant exactly pull the battery and put it back in, so by holding the power button for seven seconds, it simulates a battery pull forcing the phone to restart no matter what!
without it if you were frozen on bootscreen or just frozen or needed to restart by cutting off power to the battery and then power up. you would not be able to do it.
I'll have to find a way how to not pushing it so .
Thanks people

Hi there,
I experienced the same thing, when sitting in the car or tighting the shoes.. i'm hearing starting up sound of HTC ... quietly bla bla..
well, I dont like cases i'm not using such, thats why i found a solution for me and till now its working
so if you putting your phone in left pocket, then try to put it with display forward, but if you dont like it that way, then you should start using your right pocket ..that way the power button is staying at the outer side of you and wont be pressed when you "do" something.
hope this could help
Cheers
Hi,
The touch screen in my wildfire s is not responding properly. Sometimes while using the phone, some touch feature gets clicked automatically, for e.g. when I am using the camera, the home button gets clicked automatically and it comes to the home page or some time the search window pops up automatically from no where. Rooting the device or putting a custom rom din't help.
Please help me to know whether I need to change some hardware from the service center or does this prob has some soft fixes?? Any body else having the similar kinda prob??
//Bubun
I've had similar things happen on my Wildfire S, but only under 2 conditions:
1. When my fingers/ the screen are wet. It tends to think i've pressed every button on the screen.
2. When the phone is overheated.
So if it's either of those problems, the first one is common sense to fix (dry yo' hands). The second probably means you're using too much RAM. Use a task manager to see if you have any RAM hogs.. It's probably neither of those, but it's the best I can do.
I've had a couple wfs that had problems similar to the ones that you are having. I just took the phone back because it was under warranty. Touch screen problems is a hardware issue that can't be fixed by flashing a ROM but sometimes it can but it depends. In your situation I would take the phone back if its under warranty. Is your phone new? When did you start experiencing this problem? Hope this helps.

I don't think that is the case with me as sometimes it happens just after the restart of the phone also. Some time it stops responding completely. But when I lock the screen and unlock it again through the power button, it starts responding properly. Can be a hardware issue. Is changing the digitizer gonna help? (I dnt have much knowledge about the hardware though.. )

Hello people I am desperate with my HOX.
After spending one month in service my HOX returned to me with new board and new battery last Friday of September.
One week later I already had 2 problems.
At first battery didnt last longer than 5 hours.
After a few full charges over the days this was fixed as the phone lasted at least 14 to 15 hours which is fine by me.
Today I turned it on in the morning and everything was fine.
Due to excessive work load I did even touched my phone for the next 8 hours.
After finishing work I tried to check if I had any calls or anything but to my surprise the HOX was off !!!!!!!!!!
I tried turning it off but it was dead.
I performed a full charge and this time the phone made the sound of the turning on but only the menu buttons turned on but the screen remained black.
Is there something I can do about this?
Your help will be very much appreciated.
sounds like your board has screwed up again, mine was same issue

Well it shouldnt be the board because the phone is working behind the screen. I reboot holding the power button down and the phone vibrates and makes the htc sound turning on.The screen came up once or twice but it was unresponsive. The clock and weather was right on but the phone also showed that it was on airplane mod.Pushing all around I even heard the navigation welcoming me.
Its really bizzare.I cant understand what is causing this and I suspect it should be pretty simple.....

Tried every trick and gimmick I read about from a dozen forums but nothing worked.All of the sudden at some point the screen appeared and it even let me unlock but trying to bring up the htc clock and apps got stuck in the middle of the screen and hitting the power button dissapered and went to black again.Off to service it goes on Monday for the 3rd time since May and the 2nd for the last month.I hope they will accept to replace it this time......

Since today in the morning I have been having several reboots when using the phone normally. I was using sedirom, never had any issues, just freezes, none other than that. How can I verify if my power button is f#+$%d up? Any ideas? Just flashed from odin the stock ics, and happened once... just touching the screen nothing else
Switched to cm11 4.4 ... so far so good, had a couple of reboots, haven't used the power button since, haven't had any random reboots since. I'm afraid my power button just screwed up I will have to look into a replacement soon. What a shame, ive been really comfortable with my glide. I guess its time to move on. The device itself is doing great except for the power button. Installed link2sd which has a widget for reboot options. Ill go from there.
Found this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQ-U-Q_NdOo I honestly dont think that would work but ill give it a shot. yesterday i cleaned the power button by opening the phone and removing the motherboard. It worked fine, but its happened like 3 times so far today. Has anybody here had the issue with the power button? What do I do? :s :crying:
Well my development Glide has the same issue. Sometimes it works flewless and sometimes it takes 3 or 4 times to even reach TWRP cause it powers off an on again. But I'm uncertain if it is the power button what makes you sure that it is not another defect inside?

Ive made several tests, even having a certain app to lock my screen and unlock it by opening the keyboard work great with no issues. When using the power button (sometimes), it turns off, reboots, and goes on a loop until I press it several times or hit the phone against my knee like pushing out the button, if you know what i mean. Yesterday I opened the phone, took out the motherboard, cleaned around the power button, and it actually worked fine, until like 10 hours after it happened again. And if i press the power button in a certain way like from the corner for example, it will screw up. Well i really could not explain it really well, thing is im 99% sure it is the power button
Any news about that? You said that you have opened the glide is it possible to replace the power button ?
Hm or we need to buy a e.g. screen broken glide and replace the whole motherboard? Would that be possible?

Turns out replacing the battery was the solution... wtf right???! I mean, I was using one I bought from Amazon, it was working great. Till the issue with random reboots came out. I did open the phone, cleaned the motherboard, and as far as Ive seen, yes you could replace the power button, however, after cleaning it, the issue came back afterwards. Just out of curiosity, I placed my old stock battery back on the phone, and never had the issue again. Power button is working fine, and never got stuck in a boot loop again... While I was investigating the issue, I came out with a dude on a video where he ¨cleaned¨out the battery contacts and it worked for him, thats why I used my old battery. And it actually worked. My phone has been good ever since I replaced the old battery. Not even one single random reboot again. Thanks for asking though.

Well let me tell you, it worked out for some time, but it is back. Got a couple of reboots today, I know is the power button since the shut down options came out after I tried to unlock the phone... This sucks. I cannot assure if it is the power button... It seems it is fine, but presumptuously most samsung branded phones have that same issue at some point. And the power button appears to be ok... sigh... Guess Ill have to start thinking which will be my replacement phone...
Today Ive made a hard decision. Im moving on from my old cappy. It had a good run, but the power button issues really got to my nerve. I believe I will go tomorrow to get a Sony Xperia L. Its been a pleasure guys, great device. Rolled me up for a good time. See you around:good:

Well I know have a new Sony Xperia L, pretty cool phone btw, and in regards to my glide, what I did was open that little bastard, remove the motherboard, completely remove the idiotic tiny power button from the motherboard. Tore it apart LOL. Place everything back, to the phone. Works! Then next step go to the play store download an app called: ProximityScreenOff-Lite, it uses the motion sensor to lock/unlock the phone, pretty much like a function found in CRdroid ROM. And if I need to reboot I have the Link2SD widget that allows me to reboot, quick reboot, or recovery
