Power button not working - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I have a big problem, I was using my M8 without problem today, after send some message, I leave my phone for about 5 minutes, after that, I saw a message that said to press volume button for reboot, Its seems like the power button that was pressed, so i decide to restart via adb to see if the problem was software, but now, the power button doesnt work. For nothing. I'm out of USA so sending for warranty its going to be more than one month. So any idea? Any help would be great

Thanks, I read that post, but this make me confused "Some M8 phones have the problem of the power button getting stuck in the plastic around it and thus keeping itself pressed"
If I press the button, its feel like a click, like working. Its the same problem? I ask because english is not my main language so I want to be sure

[Q] Incredible 2 Power Button

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.

My power button has been that way since I first got it over a year ago, no change. It seems to be normal.

[Q] Please Help: HTC One X Buggered :(

Hi All,
Please help me if you can with the problem I am now experiencing
HTC One X is my first android phone, i have had it for about 3 months. It has been brilliant ever since i had it
However last night I installed the Amazon APP Store as its now available in the UK. Ever Since my phone has gone absolutely haywire
Its a real stuggle to get it on, if you hold down Power it vibrates and the 3 lights flash a few times, then nothing. Sometimes it comes on! Then when its on its DEAD slow, like really really slow, also after a minute or so the resolution changes and things are all in the wrong place; then the touchscreen doesnt respond, so i turn it off and the cycle continues
I have managed to get back on it, and to get rid of the Amazon App store but I am still facing the same difficulities.
My HTC One X is UK version and is on stock ICM.
Do you have any ideas how I can return it to working order?
Also: DAMN YOU AMAZON
EDIT: BTW, when i press power, the lights at the bottom are on, and i can hear the volume sound change, but no screen. I am trying to factory reset but cant get the phone working long enough to find it
If you press and hold power button + volume down at the same time the phone will boot into Bootloader. From there you can do a factory reset. Navigate with volume keys to Hboot and use power button as confirm. There should be an option there for factory reset..

Unfortunately i cannot get the PC to look for it, and i cant get into the thing where you hold down power and down arrow
I think the screen has totally given up, which i dont understand; this was always a software issue
Install a RUU matching your device and then see what happens. If that doesn't solve it, then MAYBE hardware issue.

Xperia play: I can't turn my phone on because of the power button

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

Brick maybe?

Hello there, I was installing Recovery using this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746682, I only went up to the first part of unrooting the phone where it asks me to connect my and install te recovery, my phone after the root did not want to turn on. I tried using the Volume +/- along with the home key, nothing, it just vibrates and nothing. I tried pulling out the battery and the same thing happened, no matter what I did, it vibrates and won't turn on. Also when I hook it up to the charger and try turning on it vibrates and it keeps vibrating in loops, around 2-3 sec apart. What is wrong with my phone? Please don't tell me it's a brick, I just got it yesterday ;p

I think this kit is honestly the easiest way to brick your phone. There are simply too many options, most of them have no real use for this phone, and the free version never gets updated. Honestly think it's a bad move for people who are new to the game.
To get in download mode:
Start with the phone off.
Press and hold the home button and volume down button.
Press the power button until the phone vibrates.
Release the power button.
To get in recovery mode.
Start with the phone off.
Press and hold the home button and volume up button.
Press the power button until the phone vibrates.
Release the power button.
Release the volume up and home button when the blue text appears in the top left corner of the screen.
If these won't work, you are bricked. Time for JTAG.
I agree 100%. That kit seemed pretty helpful for some when this was still pretty new, but recently it seems there are more reports of failures (or worse) than successes. When you get this fixed I suggest reading all the stickies and then take it from there.
Good luck

Power Button unresponse (stuck?)

Hello,
My HTC One M8 power button suddenly went unresponsive yesterday - Nothing happens when i click it to turn on/off the screen or even get the power menu up. Sometimes it seems to be stuck (Pressing the home button triggers the screenshot function (Power + home ))
The button itself does not seem stuck or anything and i get normal response when clicking it hardware wise.
I already tried restarting which didnt solve the problem.
I'm running stock rom, unrooted version 2.22.401.5
Any idea what might wrong?

My PC currently suffers from the same button stuck issue. All I do is power it off and keep pressing the power button something like 20 times gently and continuously. Give it a shot. Make sure the button is clean in the cut outs and do the same trick to your button. Make sure you [DONT] power off the device, as there's a chance of never booting up; just some friendly advice. :good:
Sorry to bump this, but might be helpful if anyone else gets the same problem.
I sent my HTC One M8 to repair where they replaced the power button - Everything seems fine now.
