Have a Tmobile G3 with Stock Rom. It doesnt restart and instead stays powered off. Also I have to press and hold the power button for more than 30 seconds to have it boot up again otherwise there is no activity whatsoever. I have tried restarting both from the back of the button and through some restart apps but it refuses to restart and boot up.

Have you tried taking out the battery and putting it back in to see if this fixes the problem? I have a Tmobile G3 as well and I never had this issue before. If you are still under warranty I would suggest taking it back for a replacement.

MY galaxy s2 has problems with powering off every now and then. it was really bad at one point where all it was doing is turning on and rebooting right after. i had a custom rom for months and never had problems until yesterday. i couldnt go on recovery mode because it would always restart every five seconds. Now it seems to less frequent because i realized that it always reboots when i touch the power button once. Sometimes when i push the power button to take it off sleep mode, the power options pops up (recovery, restart, power off etc) so thats when i thought the power button might be the problem
Any guesses on what could be the problem?? If its software problems or power button issue.
P.S. reset my phone, re rooted it, and put a new rom darkside. It literally stays on until i push the power button. then it restarts five seconds later.
the power buttons seems to stick....I have the same problem, the phone is acting as if the power button is being pressed without being let go. When the power button is held indefinitely it just keeps rebooting over and over again. It occurs sporadically, but once it sticks..it sticks. I seem to be able to unstick it by slapping it against my hand but eventually it turns off. Its definitely a hardware issue and I will open up the phone right now to investigate. Ill write if I find anything useful.

I have a Samsung Galaxy SII with CM9 installed. About a week ago, the power button stopped working, or at least started behaving erratically. The power button could not be used to wake the phone up or put it to sleep, and if took the battery out and put it back in it would begin booting immediately. I don't think it did this before. I think that the power button is stuck in a way that the phone always reads at as being pressed though I am not sure. When I press the button it still clicks and feels like it did before. Yesterday when I rebooted the phone, and it hung on the bootup screen for CM9. The animation didn't loop, it just froze. I would like to revert back to the stock ROM so that I can send the phone in for a warranty repair, but I can't keep it in download mode because the power button is constantly pressed, causing it to reboot. Is there any way to keep the phone in download mode with the power button pressed so that I can revert back to the stock rom? I have a jig but it doesn't seem to work with the power button pressed. Thanks.
My LG Optimus G is stuck on the Android System Recovery screen. I can move up and down with the volume bar but I can select anything because you need to use the soft menu button and my screen is cracked there. Is there anyway to get around this? I've tried holding power and volume down to reset it but it just restarts and goes back to the recovery screen.

The power button should be the select. Press up or down on the volume to navigate and press power when you are where you want it to be.
Is the recovery stock or CWM? The power button should work either way for the select. Hope this helps.
also if you are just trying to restart, try holding down only power for about 20-30 seconds, it should do a hard shut down, then when you press power to turn on again it should go to the system.

I'm not sure if it's stock, it says Android Recovery System e3. It says to hit enter to choose an option but hitting the power button wouldn't select anything. I held down the power down and it shut off and isn't turning back on.
my lg optimus g turned off and now it wont come on or hold a charge
Well where do I start, I love this phone and I have not had a single issue with it until yesterday, took my phone off the charger in the am walked out the door , started my car went to make a phone call and my phone was off , tried to turn it on and to no avail, so i took the battery out of the phone (mind you this was quite an experience taking the back cover off) took care of that unhooked the battery let it sit for 5 minutes and it came back on like a charm , well as the day progressed my battery eventually died , so im thinking no biggie right? wrong tried to turn my phone on and nothing at all , just a solid red light which eventually cuts off but thats only when you put it on a charger and does nothing no blinking lights no power nothing. So ive been online following a bunch of different steps and the only thing i could do was put the phone into download mode when connected to a cpu but the cpu doesnt seem to see the device nor does it have power , im trying to fix this myself if possible, im really not trying to pay for a repalcement phone or wait 14 days to get another one so ill try as hard as i can here first and see if i can get some help.. PLEASE!!!! HELP!!!

Did the battery die? What happens when it is plugged in and you hold down the power? (to attempt to turn back on)
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1. I can't figure why my tablet won't power off. Everything seems to run fine.
When I press the power button, then press (select) power off the tablet goes thru the motions of shutting off.
It actually shuts off for a second, screen goes black and off. Then it restarts. I get the logo etc. Then back fully on.
I would like to turn it off other than just go in eventual sleep mode. This tablet was never modified in any way. It has a stock ROM never been rooted. I also looked at the running apps and everything seems normal. Any idea would be welcomed other than Hard reboot.
Thanks for the help.

Is the tablet plugged in? Otherwise hard reboot is your only option.
Sent from my SM-P600
Even if it's plugged or not same weird thing happens. As if I restart the tablet when I in fact power off.
My VS985 has 2 problems, which may be related to each other. The first is that, when the phone is fully turned off, turning it back on again is difficult. When I press the power button, the phone just vibrates at me and then refuses to turn on. Screen doesn't light up or anything. Pressing the power button again does nothing at that point. What I have to do, sometimes up to 7-8 times before it turns on, is remove the battery, wait a few seconds, put it back in, then press the power button again. It'll vibrate every time, and eventually one of those times it will turn on and boot up.
The second issue is that I've found it impossible to get into recovery mode using the buttons. I can get in just fine using the quick boot app, but that's not much use if I ever end up in a state where I can't boot into the OS. Apparently it's supposed to work by turning the phone off, then pressing and holding the power + volume down buttons and waiting for the LG logo to show up. I've tried this many times, it never works, possibly because of the first problem.
I bought this phone used, immediately used ODIN to downgrade it to the original stock OS, then towel rooted it and installed CM (LOS 14.1 now), so I've no idea if this phone has always had this problem or if I caused it. It's not a big deal since I always keep my phone on but makes trying new ROMs scary. Has anyone heard of this before, or have any idea how to fix it?
