Power button problem

Hi all,
My XDA IIs works well before. But few days ago the Power button doesnt work properly, it can turn on the phone, hold to turn off the back light, but I can't use it to turn my phone screen off like before. Anyone has same problem ?

Can you see any part of the screen? It might just be that the backlight adjustments are set too low when the unit isn't cradled. You might be able to see the screen in daylight.. or maybe it was inside your home. I forgot where I was at when it happened to me. In anycase, if you can see a bit of images on your screen, go into the Backlight properties and change the setting to your liking.
Good luck..

The problem is i can just press the power button to turn off my phone BEFORE (the screen is completly off), and NOW it doesnt work at all ! When my phone was off, I can press the Power button to turn it on, or when I hold it for few seconds the back light will be turned off, but press once to turn off. I dont know why, if somthing wrong with the Power button it should be doesnt work at all, that's mean i cannot turn on my phone as well. But other functions of the Power button are still work well, except the 'Turn off' :roll:

power off doesn't work anymore
I have the same problem here. I can't use the power button to power off my qtek 9090!!
i can use the power button to turn my pda on and to switch the background light on and off - so the "hardware side" of the power button is working.
however, i can't use the power button to turn off the device. it's very annoying, because i can't put it in my pocket after finishing a call :-(
this should be some sort of a software problem - so i hard resetted my device (a couple of times) - but that didn't help!
can anyone help?
thanks,
lorenz

the ba doesn't turn off it is always on staand by mode. ->settings -> system -> button lock
this will stop any missed call because when the ba is in standby the power button is the only one to work

power on is no problem. i can't put my BA into standby mode. if i press the power button while the BA is turned on, nothing will happen. the screen will stay on, the background light stays on.
i have no way to put it into stand-by with the power button!

try this and see if it works. it's a software app that wil rest, shut down, and turn the screen off. just copy it to your BA temp directory and install it.

power button problem
Does anyone solve the problem???

Had the same problem...
I had the same problem going on for about two weeks or so...never changed anything and it went away all by itself.
The problem has not come back now in over 4 months.
Sure would love to know what the problem was tho...

Power Off does not work
Add my name to people with this problem.
The only event I can link it to is this: I deleted my Motorola Bluetooth headset and installed a Logitech headset. I noticed the problem (can't turn OFF with POWER BUTTON) soon after that.

same problem for me ..... someone must know !!!!

I think it is a hardware problem. The contact is not making cleanly. Disassemble and spray time, perhaps.

It's a standard push switch, easy enough to replace, I occasionally list themon ebay but any phone repairier should have them in stock.

i had same problem yesterday afternoon, but it is ok now. recovered by himself

Write again in two weeks and let us know if it is still healthy. In my case, anintermittent problem became continuous.

Can't turn the screen on after pressing power button
I have a problem with my Bell Atrix. After pressing power button to lock the screen, i can't wake up the screen up by pressing that button again. Could anyone tell me how to fix it pls.

Activating Sleep Mode

Hi
I am not able to get the device to go into sleep mode (blank display) by touching the power button unless its at the lock screen. Depressing the power button does nothing, other than to activate the quick menu unless pressed for a few seconds. The only time I am able to get the device to sleep via the power button is when the screen has timed out (based on settings) and before the screen in unlocked, otherwise I just have to wait for the screen to timeout.
I cant seem to find anything that would prevent the device going to sleep via the power off button, any suggestions?

Does this happen all the time or only while the phone is charging, as there is a setting that keeps the screen awake while the phone is charging:
Settings>Applications>Development

happens all the time, and I am aware of the stay awake feature during charging

If you're using a custom rom it may have something to do with that. Maybe the key isn't mapped or set correctly. Other then that, that's a pretty odd issues.

Sounds like some buggy program is keeping a wake_lock longer than it should. (The way games and ebook readers keep the screen lit/phone awake).
Had you installed anything new before this started?

[Q] My lockscreen and power menu is gone

So I was using the hardware test on my T-Mobile SGS2 by dialing *#0*# and I tried the sleep mode test. After quitting the hardware test, I realized that when I press the power button when my screen shut off, I don't see the lock screen anymore. It jumps right to the home screen. Also, when I hold the power button down, I don't get the power menu, instead, the phone shuts off. I feel like the phone is still in the hardware testing mode, at least for the sleep mode. Any clue on how to fix this?
Edit: I did notice that every time I restart my my phone, the factory test service starts running.

Bad move. I believe the only way to fix this is factory reset....

Unfortunately that's the only solution I see to this.

Latest update broke theater mode

So...the latest update (the one with interactive watch faces) broke theater mode for me. I turn it on but it doesn't actually work. It appears to turn itself off. Anyone else notice this? How do I fix it?

Check if you can wake the watch by touching the screen.
It's not that it is broken but, when you press the power button it automatically turns it off. But not pressing the button you shouldn't be able to wake up the screen...

So...
-I turn theater mode on.
-At some point later I start getting notifications on my watch.
-Moving my arm wakes it up.
-Theater mode appears to be turned off mysteriously when I go to turn it on.

I can report the same issue. Theather mode is completely broken for me as well. Turns itself off all the the time. I'm also noticing random artifacts on the screen, this update seems pretty buggy.

I had a problem with it before the update. after a restart it would turn the mode off. after the update its worse.

I am seeing artifacts too. When I swipe down from the top with the watch showing, when the battery % fades out there is an artifact right of the %.

I also have had the same problem with cinema/theater mode since updating to Android Wear 1.3. When I activate it and then later press the home button, it then deactivates and automatically turns off cinema mode. Today I raised this issue and wrote to Motorola hoping for a response soon.

Yes, its broken. I turn the Theater mode on. At some point when I press the power button to wake the device for a quick glance, theater mode is off.
The most common use case to conserve battery in Moto 360 was to keep it in Theater mode during regular day. While in Theater mode single press turned screen on momentarily for a quick glance. Then it went back to theater mode automatically. This no longer works. Single press now turns Theater mode off instead of just turning screen on momentarily.

Just checked the issue!
I don't want to manually set Cinema Mode ON after checking notifications.
Update = Fail

Broken on my watch too...

The marshmallow update for the moto 360 comes, again, with broken theater mode. Anyone else having this issue?

People who have updated their watch to 6.0.1, probably noticed that it is impossible now to turn off the display function "Theater Mode" during charging. I found a way:
- Turn on "Developer options" (by repeatedly pressing the build number in the information)
- select "Options Wear for a programmer"
- leater Turn on "Force protection against firing"
From the moment you turn on "theater mode", eg by double depressing side button, the screen during charging blank, as was the case for 5.1.1.
There sugerujcie a message about the "Introduction of amendments to restart." It's probably a mistake translate (should rather be "to restart"). Restart, not only that it does not change, but also removes the "Developer options" and you have to call them again.
Sorry bad my engish

Theater mode while charging still works the same for me on 6.0.1 as it did on 5.1.1. I double press the side button and theater mode is enabled until I press the side button to enable regular display mode.

Me after a while, you turn on ambient mode

How to fix an only sometimes working power button (which also easily triggers double click)?

So the power button of my Pixel 2 XL is unfortunately dying. Sometimes it works a few times and then a button press does nothing. It also triggers easily a double press (noticeable because that starts the camera) when tapping it only once. Gets really annoying when you think you have powered it off but it is still powered on in your pocket...
Are there any ideas how to fix the issue without opening the device? I don't want to open the device by myself after I ****ed up my Nexus 6 after a battery swap.
Any workarounds for the problem? Currently I use Novas remapping of the home button for power off but that is not really comfortable because you have to leave the current app for that.

Different roms have different options that may partly help. Often they are at settings/system/gestures.
For wake, use fingerprint. For sleep, set a very short timeout, or see if you can find a rom with double-tap to sleep option. If camera starts at the wrong time, disable the camera quick start.
But none of this will help you if the phone is really turned off. Can you really live with not knowing whether you can start the phone if it runs out of power?

I will look into some of the options. I'd like to stay with the stock rom though (but I have root if that helps).
The button is not that broken. If I press really hard I can always get it to work again, so I have no fear it won't power on again.
