Tmobile SG S2 Software problem or power button

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.

Reboot without working touchscreen

Used the search and Google but couldn't find anything comparable.
Somehow my Nexus 7 2013 (WiFi)'s touchscreen just died during traveling to work and I am not able to restart the device.
Is there any button combination to do this or any other way possible? I can turn on the device and the power on/off and volume buttons are working, but I cannot select e.g. shut down as the touchscreen is not responsive.
The device is not rooted or anything, just plain stock, newest firmware version.
any help appreciated!
Press and hold the power button for 30-60 seconds.
Eventually it'll first shut down, then as you keep pressing the power, it will turn back on.

WiFi getting disabled with the power button is pressed.

I have a head unit where the volume knob also acts as a power button when pressed and puts the device on stand by. When I put press the power button, the screen goes blank. The next time the unit boots up, the wifi is disabled. I have to go into settings and turn it on. Is there a way to prevent this from happening or is there a why to turn on wifi automatically on every boot?

SW3 won't turn on

My SW3 appears to have died this morning. I unplugged it from the charger, put it on my wrist and pressed the power button to turn it on. I felt it vibrate to say it was on, but then later noticed that the screen was blank. I tried holding the power button to force a reset but nothing happened.
Before I send it off to Sony, does anyone know if there is a reset button anywhere or anything else I should try to get it to turn on?

It once happened to me.
According to this site, to reset our SW3's we need to hold our power keys until the watch vibrates one time and restarts itself. But it didn't help me so there's another thing - to force the shutdown. Press power button until it vibrates three times, then turn it back on.
In my case, the watch started working as it should and such thing never occurred again.

Thanks, I'd tried holding the power button but it wasn't doing anything. It actually turned back on last night, complained that the battery was flat and turned itself off again. Plugged it back in to charge and it's working again this morning. Although my Pujie Black watch face isn't updating as it should and I'm not getting notifications like I should either.
Think I'll give it a factory reset just to be safe.
Aaaaand won't turn on again this morning. Been holding the power button for ages, does nothing, won't connect to Xperia Companion for a reset neither.

Google Pixel XL stuck / frozen powering off

Hi, is there any way to force a shut down, I have the google Pixel XL went to restart it as it couldnt find any wifi and now it stuck on powering off, tried holding power button, power button and volume etc, then it pops up power off or restart but the screen is unresponsive, hit power button again and comes pack up as Power off , Shutting down, being like that for 1 hour so far, i expect i will have to wait till it runs out of Battery??? Removal batteries are so much easier.......
