Hi there, is anyone else having problems with their power button and/or volume up button? My power button doesn't wake the screen on first press nor does the volume up increase volume upon first press.
I first encountered this problem when I flashed a custom kernel on stock Jellybean 4.1.2. Before that, when the device was still at stock, everything ran fine. After I updated to 4.4.2 (Sling v2.2.2) the problem still persisted and after flashing a custom kernel (solid) for KK, it worsened a bit.
I've put with it so far since it only took 1-2 additional presses for the button to work (both power and volume up) , now it takes more than 3 at times. is there any way to fix it? Preferably without having to flash anything new, but I'm open to ideas for as long as it's a definite fix. Going back to JB is a out of the question, I don't want to go through the hassle of having to fix my phone's files.
By the way, I'm using an F180K model. The one with Olleh branding.

It seem a stock KK issue. It doesn't happen while I'm testing CM. But when I use stock KK based rom I also got that problem.

I'll do it....did you fully wipe first? Also some more information would be nice. Like..unlocked bootloader, custom recovery, etc. What you're running directly affect the steps taken to do anything.
i sent my tablet off to acer to get serviced because it would not boot up. when i got it back it had honeycomb. i got the ota upgrade to ics but it had "1.0014_cus" on the end of the ics version. im all stock, stock locked bootloader. i didnt want to go through all the rooting because this is my wife's tablet. i knew that it was a new update and the stock rom i had did not update. i just download the 1.0014_gen1 and renamed it update.zip and did the stock recovery update. thanks for replaying.

Ok, have you done a reset on it yet?
Power off tablet
Hold volume UP (furthest from lock switch)
Press and hold Power
Once it gets to the acer screen let go of power and toggle the lock switch a few times while holding Volume UP
should do a reset
reboot and report back.
Theres videos on youtube if you need a visual aid.

Thanks it worked. I did notice some sluggishness when doing somethings. but the sound works. i also noticed that when you are runing a app sometimes it jumps back to the home screen when just holding it. but thanks for the help.

The jumping to home happens to my wife almost constantly, but never to me. I think it's part of the hyper sensitive issue these have, combined with how it's being held at the time. I guess the way I hold it doesn't trigger it, but my wife does somewhow.
The sluggishness thing happens on occasion anyways, I've seen it alot on Acer and Acer based ROMs, but I don't seem to run into it on CM9 or Jellytime. Occasional reboots will also help with that.
Hey guys,
My power button has been acting erratically lately. I am pretty sure it's a hardware problem, because it persists in cwm recovery. Basically, the power button is 'held down' by some imaginary force and the phone sleeps/wakes/restarts by itself. This presents quite the problem, as I'm scared to flash the stock rom onto it in fear that the power button problem will stall the recovery and brick my phone. The problem has stalled several nandroid backups (took me a while to actually get my phone to finish one without it rebooting itself).
What should I do in this situation? I want to flash to stock using the Samsung GS3 Toolkit, and I'm not worried about my flash counter because it's already at zero (currently running AOKP rom). Also, flashing back to stock with ODIN won't trip the flash counter, will it?
Thanks to you all in advance.

Have you tried flashing back to stock via Odin? That requires download mode which I don't think anyway will be affected by your power button issue.
Flashing a stock ROM wont change the counter

If it's a hardware defect, and I'm understanding the problem correctly, the power button would "hold" I'm download mode during the flash, bricking the phone. I would open the inside and temporarily remove the power button so that the flash can be completed successfully, then I would RMA.

I have this exact same issue with my s3. My friend had the same issue too and he sent the phone in for repairs and they concluded it was a problem with the circuitry on the board communicating with the power button. Unfortunately I cannot send my phone in since I cracked the screen and warranty is void..
Anyways, you just got to hope it doesn't reboot when rooting and flashing a rom. That's what i did. After you flash it you should be fine. Install a 4.2 ROM and in the quick toggles menu add the "go to sleep" feature. This along with your hardware home button will now act as your off/on button.
If you want to switch back to Stock, just follow the same procedure. I have heard that whether the phone is running a custom rom or not, it doesnt matter, because samsung simply resets everything.

Hi I've been using a custom rom for nearly a month now (Archidroid 2.5.3) and I only recently noticed whenever i hold the power button my phone instantly reboots itself! I can still lock my phone but not get the power menu up.
I have Xposed framework with modules: Flat style module, App Settings and Play Store Fixes. I tried disabling flat style and rebooting but that didn't make a difference. Also I tried the uninstall option but that also didn't do anything. Xposed is the only thing that I could think of that might of caused this problem but I guess not. Any suggestions?

have you read something bug about your custom rom? if don't have any bug maybe this custom rom isn't compatible for your devices maybe? or your power button may be have a problem? like brick on IC Power or anything? i think try to revert to stock os again (flash .ftf file) but i recommended to flah with pc companion first and full format your devices, after that try to hold your power button and see what happen? are still reboot like this or not? if still like that maybe brick on IC Power , but if don't happen like that, may be your custom rom have a bug maybe?

Hmm ok, the rom devs haven't listed any bugs or issues but I'll try that when I get the chance. Thanks.

After flashing CM 12 on Xperia M, I have encountered this problem. After using the phone without locking down the phone, it works fine, as soon as I lock the phone, within 5-10 minutes the phone doesn't wake up on pressing power button. It will only turn on when I remove the battery and insert it again but that is just temporary solution. What is the reason for this? Is the battery faulty, or the processor is underclocked or kernel related problem? Please tell me the cause of this problem and way to fix it.
Recently I re-flashed the phone with CM 13 but same thing continues
It sounds like a hardware fault. Are you using a custom kernal or stock?

I don't have much idea about kernel, all I can say is that I am using Custom ROM (CM 13) and I have not tweaked with kernels

Hmm... So you haven't played around with your processor or anything thing like that? Also this could be an Xposed Module interfering with your device?

I have not tweaked the processor, neither used Xposed modules. Apparently IMEI number is missing after flashing custom ROM.

as your IMEI missing, i will suggest you to Flash Stock ROM and then move to custom ROM....
but first open your battery cover and check is there anything, which may blocks you from pressing power key.., clean button area with Dry cloth...
I am facing a similar issue with c2004. The power button works..... but it can be used only to switch on from the off state....... after the phone is in switched [ON mode] power button does not work (waking and switching off the device's display) or powering off the device...
The device had Sony stock JB4.3........ I thought it was a software issue.... then I unlocked and updated to CM13 but the problem persisted...
It seems to be a hardware issue.... may be related to power button(may be power switch struck in ON mode)... One more issue is there..... I cannot charge the phone or connect to PC when the phone is [ON mode]....... first I have to properly shut it down (power off).... then I switch it on with power button and in a few seconds I have to connect charger or connect to a PC... only than it will charge or connect to PC.
For using switching the display on/ off and powering off the device....... I have swapped the camera and power button.....
So.... can anyone shed light..... to what could be wrong and the solution....
Thanks....

Thanks, I flashed the device with Stock ROM and everything is working fine (didn't flash CM 13 later though). Latest flashtool refused to detect the device (Xperia M) with CM13 installed but then I used the older version of flashtool 0.9.18.6 and it worked like a charm!

In my case, flashing the device with stock rom resolved the issue, try flashing your device with appropriate firmware, with an old flashtool to Stock ROM, that might solve your problem
Hello.
I've been trying to figure out the source of the problem with my volume buttons.
The problem is:
The volume buttons suddenly stop working. I need to reboot the phone or wait another time to have them working again. The problem happens randomly, I cannot figure out the source of the problem. They just don't work to adjust volume, but if I try to take screenshot (combo of power + volume down keys), it works without any problem.
Had this problem initially on full stock Android, without root or mods.
Now I have unlocked the bootloader, flashed Havoc-Os and rooted, still having the same problem.
Is there something wrong with the software or hardware of the phone?
Can someone guide me to troubleshoot this problem?
Pie or Android 10?
Still on pie.
Is it a common problem on android 9?
Never seen that or heard of that
this also happens to me with my Oneplus 5T
I have no idea why...
they randomly stop working for a few days to work again for another few days and it cycles
