Hi,
I'm having the (common?) problem, that the power button doesn't work any more. You can press it as long or often as you want, it doesn't do anything.
So -- big mistake -- I took of the battery and tried to restart. But the power button seems to be broken (hardware), so I now cant even turn on the phone to make it connect to e.g. adb...
Is there any way, to get the phone (without using the power button :/) able to talk to the adb / fastboot interface? (or better, boot it completely)
Need to get some data off it before sending it in for replacement..
thanks !
take the battery out and plug into usb (connected to computer). put the battery back in and when you see the battery charging on the screen remove the battery again. On mine the battery image starts flickering. at that point i put the battery back in and it rebooted.
This has worked for me a few times. Once rebooted you will be able to see your device using adb and then fastboot.
i got the idea from this post but found the timing i used worked better than his random attempts while holding the x key on the nexus one.

I've been searching the web for days looking for a way to turn on my Galaxy Nexus without using its broken power button, and your timing trick got it working. Thanks!
Thank you, i searched for a whole night during my night shift for this and it worked, lets hope i won't turn it off again :fingers-crossed:
Rooted?
If you have a rooted phone you can use AOKP ROM or any other roms that has volume wake in its settings. If your kernel supports it you can do what I did and use PGM Nexus from the market, basically what it does is let you lock and unlock your screen by swiping from left to right and right to left for each action (it keeps your touch controls on even when the screen is off and it doesn't use that much battery ) Hope this helps.

Is there some trick here guys? My phone has a busted power button and I need to get some data off it before repairing. I've tried this timing method but it doesn't seem to do anything. A charging icon shows up, I pull the battery and replace it, and then the full icon shows up and eventually disappears.
if you go to the phones main settings, security, lockscreen, then press none, youll be able to wake the device with the volume buttons. its a built in feature, no app needed.

I love you mate. Now I can use my phone again.
Oh thank God it WORKS! thanks to you man, your post is really helpful. thanks to everyone who have shared this idea!
Let me explain in detail how it works on mine:
1. battery pulled (if possible, the battery shoulldn't be too full to allow the charging animations to appear)
2. connect phone to usb that is connected on pc (without the battery inserted) n wait like 1 or 2 seconds before inserting the battery
3. insert the battery now
4. wait for the battery lightning logo to appear
5. once appeared, wait for the battery lightning logo to disappear (it took me almost 10 seconds.. might vary with yours)
6. once the battery lightning logo disappear, wait for the charging animation to appear (almost instant)
7. when the charging animation appears, kindly pull the battery now.. hehe.. it doesn't matter if you wanna pull it immediately after the charging animations appear or not as long as the animation is still playing..
8. this is the point where it should work or not:
A: sometimes the animation will continue to loop 3 times n nothing happen. Repeat process from step 1.
B: there's a split second static lines on the screen (static as in the iPhone 5 keyboard static) and then the battery animation got stuck. just wait. n then it turns off. n then it vibrates. n then, it boots! =D
P/S: This is NOT MY GNex. My GNex is fine right here with me. The GNex in description here belongs to my friends' aunt. she bought the phone based on my recommendation. the phone is only 4 months old. Mine is 7 months old. luckily the phone is still in warranty so she'd be able to get it fixed soon for free. I'm gonna give the phone back to her so that she could backup every single pictures n videos coz she never did any sort of backup since the phone was bought.. *gasp*
IMPORTANT!
since i have my own GNex, I emptied my battery (i left it only around 10% or so) n put it in her GNex so that the charging animations will appear when i try to revive it using the method above. coz before this, her GNex's battery was full n once the battery lightning logo disappear, only the battery full logo appears afterwards, meaning no animations is shown. n i don't know whether this affects anything at all. just thought i'd mention it. =)
actually I didn't even know the power button is problematic. I thought it was bricked or something. i've even used the omapflash thingy.. lol.. i even considered the odin method n stuff.. luckily i came across this thread..
thanks again everyone.
=)
please!!

Thanks a million, man. You totally saved my bacon with this trick. :good:
My Galaxy Nexus is up and running again after about 5 minutes of pulling and inserting the battery I finally got it booted up.
My power button's been broken for a few weeks and I installed an app to turn my screen on using the VOL button but I was out all day today and made the mistake of letting my battery completely die and of course it powered down - OOPS.
Guess I'd better get that power button fixed.

I followed the same basic procedure (thanks!), but wanted to add a couple notes.
1) I wasn't having much luck after step 8 until I actually put the battery back in as suggested by the second post in the thread -- that seems to trigger the boot process more consistently.
2) If the process is not working, try a different USB cable. I tried a number of times with one cable to no avail, then finally got desperate enough to try another cable, and it worked the very first time.
3) Once the phone is actually booted, here are a couple other apps that can help with the lack of functioning power button:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.ponury.pgm2free --- For those who are rooted, you can use this (or the paid version with more features) to slide your finger across the turned-off screen to wake the phone. It can be a little finicky in my experience, sometimes pressing the volume button after swiping seems to do the trick:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock -- Lets you turn off the screen via a shortcut; I have a shortcut on my home screen and in my notifications.

Hi all,
I can't power my Note II on when its flat and its connected to the charger. I always have to remove the battery and then switch it on and reconnect the device to the charger..? Whilst its connected I can see the battery icon (whilst the phone is off) but its not doing anything just a static image although the phone is charging.
Not sure if anyone else has had a similar problem. Using the Cyanogen 10.2 rom but had the same problem when I was using HD Revolution.

battery charging animations not showing on AOSP/CM/AOSB/AOKP roms,it's known bug,but as you said phone does charge in the background.and to turn on the phone simply unplug the cable and press and HOLD the power button for about 10 seconds and you'll see the samsung note 2 sign(i would do the same as you before i discovered this trick like remove the battery etc)

it's not good to let your phone die down completely on you everytime charge it when there's still some juice left around 10% or so,turning off the phone and charging should be your last resort but ya let me know if holding the power button for around 10 seconds works for you (charger should be unplugged).
Hey, I've gave that a try today as my phone was flat. Worked a treat thanks for the heads up on that. I bought an Otterbox so didn't want to take it all off to disconnect the battery and reconnect it.

Hi all,
My Nexus 7 doesn't respond to me at all now. I've tried holding the power button down for at least 30 seconds and nothing shows up, I've also held the power button and the volume down button to no avail. I've removed the back and unplugged the battery for a few moments and holding the power button, which didn't work either. When I connect to my PC, it seems like it recognizing my Nexus 7, but it can't do anything with it. It does show 'QHSUSB_DLOAD when I plug it in, but cannot install drivers and such. Absolutely nothing shows on my screen, not even a flicker.
My Nexus 7 is rooted through Towelroot, but it has always worked once I reset.
It's been a couple of days since I last used my Nexus and it suddenly became that way when I tried using it today.
If anyone could help on how to fix this, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Sounds to me like a dead battery. I know that the 1st gen N7 really did not like having the battery drained to zero and would have a seriously bad attitude once charged up. ; ) That said I never let the battery completely drain on any of my devices. Fact is my brother called me last week because he drained the battery on his N5 and data quit working. For some reason it disabled the data in settings. No biggie but still!
Put it on the charger for 2-3 hours then try to power it up. To get into the bootloader/fastboot screen manually I hold in the volume down button then press and hold the power button and it takes 4-5 seconds. Good luck!
wantabe,
I've tried what you said and charged it for several hours, but nothing turns on still when I push the power+volume down buttons. Thanks anyway. If you have any other suggestions, feel free to post them (I would rather not buy another one).
FYI, my Nexus 7 is a 2013 version, but I doubt that will help anything I also made sure all my connections are correct.

Hi guys,
This morning I powered on my tab, then, after reading some news, I closed the cover lid and when I came back after some minutes my tab won't turn on or charging. Battery is full (charged over night).
I tried power + vol + home: nothing.
My tab: 8.4 lte rooted with Odin, Samsung v2 Rom
What a strange coincidence! Mine too!
My Tab S 8.4 LTE turned off after a complete descharge. I've attached it to charger, without turning it on, and charge beguns.
After a couple of hours I've checked the tab but I've found it completely turned off, no charging animation on power button. I've tried to turn it on but without success.
I've a SuperSamsung V2 ROM also.
What's the f..k????

1) connect the tab to PC;
2) press Home, Vol Down and Power simultaneously up to a screen appears;
3) press Vol Down to cancel and reboot the tablet.
Now the tablet has rebooted and it works fine!
When I'll be at home I'll try...hope it will work for me also...have you some random reboots while in standby in the past days?
No chance for me...
My Tab S 10.5 Wifi running on stock rom is at reparation center because of the same problem...
Well...After two days...I think the problem is something wrong in battery. My tab was fully charged when this issue happens for the first time. After leaving it alone on the desktop for a day, this morning I connected the tab to my PC for around 30 minutes and the charging battery appears on the screen. I charged for 20 minutes and after I let the tablet discharging. This evening battery was 8% and my tab went to black unresponsive screen. Now I'll try charging to full and after clearing battery stats to see if something change. ..
@kraoc please let me know reparation center diagnosis
Mine has repeated this behaviour several times in the last few days, I've always solved with the procedure in the post #2, but now it keeps irritating. @kraok please let us know diagnosis. @davidebeatrice I don't think so since it has just happened to me while using the tablet with 70% battery.
I was 99% when it happens for the first time...now my tab seems T9 work fine. Let's see when battery will be down down down...?
After two charging-discharging process and finger crossing, I can say that clearing battery stats worked for me.
Hello, I've a similar problem. My rooted Tab S with TWRP doesn't boot anymore, it's stuck at the Samsung logo. However I can get into download mode or shut it down and the loading animation shows. Probably caused by some root stuff I installed because it worked fine before. Any way to fix it via Odin or some other ideas?
Thanks!

If you have access to download... just flash stock rom...
I've had a similar problem:
Screen shows a discharged battery and I can't do anything to it.
No button combination works, plugged or unplugged.
After a while (days) it shut off. I couldn't turn it back on until plugging it, and then the same battery discharged display shows up.
I took it to a service center and they blamed the motherboard, but I had a custom ROM (a version a Cyanogen found here). No fun.
EDIT: FIXED!
I retrieved the tablet before they serviced it, and attempted to repair it myself again with the button combination.
I used the home + vol down + power combo, and then I pugged it in. It went to download mode, then I pressed vol down to restart the tablet.
Method similar to this (but without the need to restore my backup or flash anything):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/help/to-event-soft-brick-disaster-t2838473
Hope this helps someone else stuck in the same situation.
I had teh same thing happen to my 10" Tab S as well. Took it back to Spring and they immediately replaced it since I had only had it for 7 days tat that point.
Glad you had a new one... And I'm a bit jalous about your issue
Had it for 2 month... Got 2 reply from Samsung: "rooted and can't use warranty" !
But: Flashing your device does not void your statutory warranty - FSFE Legal - http://j.mp/ZIPbWC !!!
Samsung keep to refuse to apply warranty !!!
Hello everybody,
I've sad news from my side...
I've had this problem a few times and I've everytime resolved with the home+vol down+power combo and restarting.
After that I've found evidence on another thread here in XDA that it should be related with battery stats.
After resetting the stats, the problem stopped, up to yesterday night.
I was watching a video on YouTube where the battery goes 0% and the tablet shutdown itself.
So I've attached it to charger and the charge begun (tablet was off, battery charging appears on screen).
This morning I've detached it from charger without checking if it was 100% charged but when I've tried to power it up, I don't get any reaction from the tablet.
The key combo doesn't function anymore. Attach to PC via USB doesn't make it to get recognized. No way out.
Completely dead.
Have you some suggestion/trick I can try before I'll launch it through the window???
Thanks
Antonio

Hey there. I am new to XDA.
My tablet last night was just fine! Everything was working perfectly and i played a few games before i went to sleep. Anyhow, Today afternoon i trying to wake up the screen of my tablet and it doesn't even turn on the screen! I put it in to charge but nothing happens. The only thing that happens is that is getting warm at the back because of charging.
So overall, last night was working, today is not even turn on.
p.s: Few weeks back i try to root my tablet and i didn't make it. I had the problem "Firmware upgrade encountered and issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again" But i managed to recover to fully factory settings all over again.
Thanks
Try this tool:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...&_nkw=usb+current+and+voltage+tester&_sacat=0
Make sure the current should be ~ 1,7 Amps, voltage should be ~ 5.2 Volts.
There are many unknowns: bad charger or bad USB cable or bad USB charging port.
You should use another known working USB cable or charger to test. Another micro USB cable can be used to charge or 5 Volts to 5.3 Volts charger.
If you tablet is charging, press the HOME button it should show a green battery icon.
The problem is not with the charger, its with the software I guess

I tried the power,home,down thing also the power,home,up nothing happens. As i told when i try to charge the tablet the back of the tablet was getting warmer, a sign that says its charging. BUT the screen does not open with the battery on it.. Basically it doesn't turn on at all.
Tried that
Also tried that too.. But i think the voltage its alright i think and also i use my 7 months old original charger that came with the tablet. So the chances are so few.

Another way if you cannot see anything, try of using HDMI adapter to connect to your TV. Signs of your tablet is running: vibration at start up, sounds of start screen or menu and back buttons light up. If you see these signs, probably the LCD cable is disconnected or loose. But how do you know your tablet is charging ? The charger or cable is working but the USB charging port doesn't work, you'll have a dead battery. There are too many unknowns you're even not sure, then others cannot guess what is wrong. First thing first, you need to know if your tablet is charging, then you will figure out what is next.
Nothing!

Another way if you cannot see anything, try of using HDMI adapter to connect to your TV.

Hey there.. Thanks for the help!
I know that is charging because the back of the tablet is getting warmer when i charge it. Also no back keys or nothing is showing up. I tried everything. The only thing i didnt try is the HDMI thing. Plus the tablet is in full silence. no vibration or anything. i dont remember if the tablet was vibrating at the turn on. The only thing i got from the tablet since yesterday is nothing. not even a light of the screen or download mode or back light NOTHING so unexpectedly
Thanks!
When the tablet shows no sign of life, the only way to know first if the mainboard is working, is is taking charge ?
The back is warming cannot tell anything. If the battery is dead you cannot go troubleshooting further unless swapping another battery to see if the tablet can turn on. Even with a full charged battery, a defective power button could prevent the tablet turning on.
There are too many unknowns, that's why elimination method have to use to find the source of problem: software or hardware.
The USB current and voltage tester will help you without guessing the working status of your tablet. I have no clues, that's why I'm guessing too.
Not even a clue!

Thanks for the trying to help!
I don't even have a clue. I search the whole internet about this problem and nothing. I will take it back to the store and use the warranty. Thats the best way
Long shot but try this. Unplug the charger. Hold the power button down for a full 20 seconds. Even if the tablet is in a "frozen" state, that should turn it off. Then try turning it on again.
Tried it.
