[Q] [SOLVED!] Epic 4g Won't Power on. Will Charge though.

<Quote>My epic 4g won't power on. If I plug in a usb cable/ac adapter it will charge the device. The screen comes on and shows the green battery and the amber LED turns on and then turns blue when it reaches 100% charge.
But the power button does nothing. It won't power it on. Is there anything else I can do to force it to turn on?</Quote>
So I got it to boot up. You can do this by holding the power button down while continuously unplugging and replugging in a power adapter (or usb cable). You may spend 2 or 3 minutes unplugging and replugging it in (you need to do this rapidly) but eventually you'll be greeted with the samsung boot screen. If it makes it to the battery display screen you're not unplugging and replugging in quickly enough.
Hopefully o that anyone else who encounters this problem can potentially use their phone in a pinch or recover data off one with a broken power button. My power button is definitely busted and I'll need to get it repaired by sprint unfortunately.
Thanks!

Did you try putting it into download mode? may need to ODIN back to stock.

Ok im new to this forum, as i just ditched my evo shift and picked up and epic, but you might try booting to another menu. Try unplugging it and holding the 1 key on the keyboard then press the power key. If that does nothing then id have to guess ur actual power button is broken. You could also try pulling the battery witih it unplugged for like 5 minutes then put it back in and hold the power button for like 20 seconds and letting it go.
Edit: He beat me to it

It appears the actual power button is broken, neither of those solutions worked. Is there any other way to force it to power up without use of the power button?

Thank you soo much! I have a messed up Epic that has to be sent back to Sprint but I had to get my work information off of it or I'd be in it deep. Your trick worked perfectly!!

[Q] In Dire NEED OF HELP

Hello everyone i have a problem with my htc one x .was charging it over night and the next day i found it turned off.Got to turn it on holding the power button for 30 sec but after like a few days it turned off again and does not turn on anymore not with power button holding not even holding power button +volume down + volume up. and seems like it does not take charge either because no led light up when plugged in.the PC does not recolonize it and i dissembled it took of the battery and tried a static electricity discharge and still nothing.. any advice from you guys what should i do.

Power button not working!

So these problems just started today:
Power button is unresponsive
Fingerprint is slow(takes 5 sec to screen on after touching)
Phone is marginally slower
no working internet despite symbols showing wifi/data(whatsapp works!!)
Charging light led remains on even after unplugging for varying amounts of time(stays on for b/w 10 sec to 1 min)
Not sure if usb is working because adb doesnt detect it anymore (no usb selection options on phone either)
Time to take it to service i guess, haven't reset yet coz i still have whatsapp access.
Anyone know how to reboot the phone without a power button?

Keep pressing power button for long duration.
Or press and hold vol up +power button

Pixel XL not turning on

It was plugged into charger. This morning it wont turn on. When I press power button I see the charging logo come up and it shows fully charged. Pressing down power key for 10-20s, or power + vol up/dn etc also just shoes the logo.
What do I do?

Try holding power volume down for a minute or so.

Hold power + volume up button at same time for at least 30 secs while unplugged from charger.

Help! My xperia xz2 compact won't power on, no response to charging

HI everyone,
This morning I woke up to my phone not responding to power button. Screen stayed blank. The LED was blinking white, very fast. I tried a combination of hold power button, then power button + volume up, but nothing. At some point of trying these buttons the LED went off.
Now the phone is not responding to charging cable on power, charging cable in PC USB, and power button/volume up combination. I even took the SD card slot out to try. Been on the charger for at least 30 mins now.
The last time I did was playing a mobile game on auto-mode (which I often do and leave it to run until it runs out of stamina), but it shouldn't have drained the battery befote it finished. I go to sleep when it's doing that so no idea what happened on screen before it went dead.
Um, before I start to panic, can anyone tell me what's happened?? Help please?
