[Q] Power Button stopped working

Since I bought the phone I have used it with the zagg shield and overtime I noticed a buildup of material around the edges and creases of the phone where I would kind of clean it off. Alot of this has accumulated into the power button so I'm assuming I just need to clean the area if i can get to it.
So for about a month now my power button stopped working. Today I took out the battery (forgot that my power button doesn't work) and now I cant turn it back on. Other than this, the phone worked perfectly fine. Does anyone know if there's a way to turn on the phone without using the power button?
Ive tried plugging it into the charger but nothing. I hope someone can help me :/
Ive been reading about dismantling the phone and wondering if i should to get to the power button to see if its just accumulating dirt.
Btw, I'm out of warranty so I'm willing to give this a shot if theres no other option in turning on the phone.
Thanks in advanced!

I would disassemble and try to fix the power button.

Thanks for the reply! From what I have read everything points out to me having a "faulty logic board" but when I click the link and look at the instructions it doesnt even specify how to replace the "logic board" . Unless theres something Im missing. heres the link
http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing-HTC-Touch-Pro-2-Logic-Board/5547/1

I just noticed that the guide for replacing a "faulty logic board" is incomplete. Il be searching for a guide that explains how to do just that. If you find a guide please let me know btw

Have you tried the reset button on the side of the phone after you remove the backcover, it's to your left if the phone is face up.

HTC Wildfire blank screen

Hi,
I'm sorry if this has already been answered I just can't find it.
My Wildfire's screen froze a couple of times, then the last time I removed the battery and reinserted it.
When I tried to power back up I got the vibrate but nothing on the screen, so I repeated a couple of times with no luck.
I then tried the Hboot method (Hold vol - and power) and I got the Hboot on, but when I tried to navigate using the volume buttons nothing happened, so removed battery and tried to repeat, I couldn't get back to Hboot. I have only been able to get the Hboot screen that one time.
When I power up, I get 1 vibrate and nothing on screen.
When I hold volume + and power button, I get three vibrates and the green light comes on.
When I hold volume - and power I don't get any vibrates, unless I remove the volume - then the power button but still only one vibrate.
I've tried installing the CyanogenMod but no luck.
Is there anything that can be done to save my Wildfire?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Seems like you're in Qualcomm Diagnostic mode. Though I don't remember the solution, some Googling might help

Any help please
I've tried the method stated on this forum but with no luck.
Does anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks!

--- EDIT ---
So you wrote your question again in the "Wildfire S" (Marvel) Forums - in this case the much more important question would be: what phone are you talking about? A Wildfire (Buzz) or a "Wildfire S" (Marvel). Despite the name those have almost nothing in common - they are totally different devices
--- EDIT ---
I'll answer in this thread although you opened another one in Q&A.
You haven't been too specific with your problem but sometimes it helps to have all the details
So here we go:
a) did the phone work correct (besides the freezes) before you took out the battery?
b) is your WF rooted & s-off?
c) which ROM?
d)
When I hold volume + and power button, I get three vibrates and the green light comes on
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
does this happen when connected to PC or charger or not
e)
When I hold volume - and power I don't get any vibrates, unless I remove the volume
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
did you hold both at least 5-10 secs or so?
f)
I've tried installing the CyanogenMod but no luck

you mean after your problem occured? How did you do that?
Believe me: the more details you provide the more likely someone might have a solution or at least an idea what's going on

OK, sorry for the lack of info!
My phone is a Wildfire, not a WildfireS.
A: Yes, was working.
B: No, never needed to.
C: Not sure, never kept a record of it. It's one of the first models though if that helps.
D: This happens without USB cord attached. When the USB cord is attached I pull the battery and the green light stays on.
E: Yes, I've tried this for over 10secs before.
F: Yes, after blank screen. I installed on SD card and followed the directions. Bare in mind, I cant set Debug or the charge only setting.
Thanks!

That's what I thought. In this case you won't be able to flash any other ROM - you could just do the usual upgrades by HTC
This doesn't sound to me to be a minor problem (but probably someone else might correct me here) - nevertheless - just to make sure: have you tried to do a hard factory reset following the HTC user guide?
- With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then briefly press the POWER button (instead of holding it)
if this boots your phone up:
- Wait for the screen with the three Android images to appear, and then release the VOLUME DOWN button.
- Press VOLUME DOWN to select CLEAR STORAGE, and then press POWER.
- Press VOLUME UP to start the factory reset
(errm and yes: this will delete all your user data, of course...)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But I assume you have done that anyway - did you try to connect your phone to the PC (HTC drivers installed, of course)?
How about charging - does the phone seem to behave normal - i.e. if you keep it from charging for a few hrs does it show the red LED for charging mode and the green one for being fully charged?
That's pretty much all I could suggest from scratch. - Hopefully someone else with a good idea will step in here :fingers-crossed:

OK, still have the Wildfire with the annoying blank screen.
Does anyone have any suggestions on a fix?
Thanks!

besides the suggestion of the Qualcomm diagnostic mode (no I don't know anything about that): did you try to power up without the sdcard, yet?
Furthermore I slightly remember that you could do a factory reset using a key combination - but I'm not sure about it.
Same goes for a RUU. Are you able to connect to the phone with the PC?
Really just random guessing - hard if no error messages appear...

Yes, tried with the SD card.
Because I can't see the screen I tried it loads of times, all with different combinations.
I can't get any vibrate from volume down + long hold power.
I will only get a vibrate from volume down + short hold power.
What would be ideal if there's a way to use ODIN PC to flash a new ROM, well that's what I think it is, faulty ROM?
Thanks!

really hard to say as there's not a little information what's going on. What if just the screen is dead? have you tried to wait after boot and insert your pin after a while (I mean try to guess where the numbers might be) and call your number?

Why anyone want's to use ODIN on non-samsung?!
ODIN is purely just for SAMSUNG products
If you have warranty.. put it to service centre.. they will fix it

Need hard reset power off your phone press volume DOWN and power. YOU WILL FIX IT EASYLI.

Hey there!
I'm bumping this because I have the same problem and creating a new thread seemed more bad to me.
Anyway, I'll start from the beginning.
I found out my battery was swollen 5 days ago. It's probably because of my charging habits. My battery life have shortened everyday this 5 days. Yesterday morning I wiped my battery stats to get a better battery life. When I was back home my phone's battery has depleted while I was listening to music.
I came to home, plugged my phone to charge and waited 15 mins to get it charged a bit to open. When I tried to open it, it vibrated but the "green htc text on white background" screen didn't come up. The screen wasn't working. I tried what is said before in this tried. Once I got managed to see the bootloader but the volume keys weren't working (as above) After some moments of rage, my brother offered to test the touch, I opened the phone, (as I dont have a PIN) we waited for some minutes and then he called me. I mimiced the answering gestured and boom, I could talk with my brother.
I bought a new screen as I think screen is broken. But it could be because mainboards screen part is damaged (probably because of my faulty battery, voltage wavings etc.) or something completely different.
Please guys help me. I can't buy a new phone atm so I have to fix this

Ouch sounds like a rough one :/ OK so you have no visual, but do have touch and audio? Are you s-off or s-on? You could try to "blind feed" the rom.zip of a ruu to the bootloader to try restore it. But it may well be that your battery has killed the screen. Have you ordered a new battery?

I'm S-OFF. I had it written in my old sig.
I too think that it was the battery that killed the screen. Ordered both a screen and a battery but they won't be coming before 20 days at least. Damn you China, why you have to be that far.
Anyhoo, I can't get to the bootloader anymore. Or I think I can't get it. I once managed to get it but volume buttons weren't working. After that in every try I couln't see the bootloader screen. But you're right. When I can't see the bootloader, it doesn't mean I don't get the screen. I could do it with a fellow's help. But only after a few days. I'm getting a surgery in 10 hours. Can't really care about my phone right now

[Q] Power button broken. Need to change batteries while out!

Hi,
Basically the power button on my rooted Xperia Play has lost all function as a button. The LEDs still work, but pressing/holding it does nothing regardless of the phone's state.
I used Button Remapper to set the Search button to act as the Power button (locking the screen, power off etc.) however this only works when the phone is on.
I'm in a situation where I will be using my phone for long periods of time away from any computers/chargers, so I have some spare batteries for this occasion.
The problem now is that should I need to change the battery while out, there's no way for me to turn it back on after doing so!
I was wondering if there were any tricks to circumvent the power button when the phone is off?
e.g. other button combinations, change battery during reboot, delay reboot (command/app)
please note: I wouldn't want to (and probably couldn't) go in and try to fix it manually, I don't want to risk breaking anything!
Any help is greatly appreciated!

I woke up this morning and when I took my cellphone i realized that my power button doesn't work anymore
i've did the same things you did. and any help i get i will post here :good:

[Q] Weird problem with screen-HTC One X

Hello,
I was looking through the XDA, but haven't found anything similar, so I hope somebody could have an idea what could it be.
First of all, phone is HTC One X-32GB International version.
Few days ago, I noticed that after some idle time, my HOX touch screen becomes unresponsive.At first, I didn't pay too much attention, because everything was fine after restar by power button, but problem continued to repeat.I thought it could be because of the heavy use, so I started to disable app by app but nothing changed.I restarted it several times after that and noticed that if I try side buttons, they show volume is going up and down when I press them.Also a big screen clock is normally working, so my next guess was that maybe a factory reset would solve the problem,but it didn't.
So what i shappenintg?
When I surf the net,or dialling numbers,or whatever else, everything works fine to the moment I stop touching it and leave it idle for a while.After few minutes, screen is unresponsive, doesn't matter if I put screenlock on or of.I can't even answer the call when it rings.Everything looks just as it should look,but is unresponsive.Except side buttons.Then again I have to restart it with long press power button.If I don't touch the screen after phone restarts, after minute or two it goes to unresponsive state again.
I hope somebody has idea what could or what should I do.
Thanks in advance

*update
Sometimes helps if I press power button...

*update 2
Now it's not helping any more if I press power button, seems that power button is not reacting at all sometimes, only if I hold him long enough to restart it.
In fact, now even restart is not helping.

I'm sorry, what ROM do you have? And do you have sweep2wake function on? 'cause I also have had problems with touch, when s2w was on, but I am not sure, what was the ROM that time...

It's a stock ROM-And sweep2wake is not on.
Have no idea what else to try.I tried to unlock bootloader,put CWM in because you can control it with buttons, made a backup of everything to USB, format everything, put everything back, but problem is still here.Now I also noticed that it has a delay when push power button for example when I press it screen goes off immidiately,but when I press it again, sometimes it takes 20 seconds just to turn screen on again.And of course, it still not reacting.
Now my last hope is that a ROM became corrupted somehow,so I will try to delete everything, and put some other ROM in.
Since, I am a noob, there will be a lot reading for me .

Everything wiped, unboxed ROM on, and a problem still persists.
Newest discovery:if I twist upper right corner a little bit, everything works fine.

Open up your phone and check the connector for the digitizer is properly connected, even remove it and blow into the connector to make sure there's no dust causing problems.
You can test the screen response before putting the back cover on again, its pretty easy and there are videos on YouTube showing how to remove the back, good luck.

I found some time to open it yesterday evening, and connectors are as they should be.I also tried to remove them, and blow them out, but no use.
Thank you anyway.
I think I will sell it like this for parts.

Find 7 (Big problem / glad if someone could help)

So hello community !
I have an OPPO Find 7 device, and I love, but happens that I have some problem with it, let me explain it best I can
It turns out that I simply cant Power ON the device, no matter what I try, no matter what combinations of key I am using or so. Let me explain better.
As I was using one day my phone standard it happened the lock/power key doesn't respond every time I press it, and it was so, sometimes the phone reacted to the button some times didn't. One day I had the device, and forgot to charge it, and it went completely off, so I can't even boot it up. Went to an mobile center, where they repair mobiles or so, it is small place, I explained them what is the problem, they told me it is the button power supply or so, and fixed it. That was nice, finally I had my OPPO again. After 2 or 3 weeks, again the same problem with the button didn't responded and I again took it with me and gave it to the person that fixed it the first time. They said the it is kinda complicated or so, I took it to other place to see if they could fixed it, they told me it is the POWER SUPPLY to the POWER/LOCK key. It is a waste this phone to throw it in garbage because one maybe small problem if you ask me .
Hopefully someone will see this and reply to me, I still have the phone just cant power it on.
P.S The battery is fine, the charger is fine, tried every combinations of key (just the power key doesn't seem to reply in any way or it cant get power supply). I have some minor knowledge in phone's I can tear it down but I need help or maybe solutions from you guys. Thanks again !

Still no-one that can help me maybe somehow

Hi, do you still have this issue?
Did you just upgrade your phone before this happen?

Yes I still have this issue, I didn't upgrade my phone before this issue. I don't think it is an software error tho....
Got my phone still sitting in my shale

I was facing similar problem, but in my case I cannot charge the phone, and it turn out to be software problem during upgrade.
I went to oppo service center and they re-flash with the latest ColorOS then my phone back to normal.
I thought if you just upgrade your phone, you might face same issue like what I was. Or maybe you can try to go to oppo service center?

Try this. http://community.oppo.com/en/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=23067
If its software related this will fix it. If it doesnt I dont know anymore.

Sorry, didn't realized you replied my comment already. Since you purchased your device from Oppostyle, i would suggest you to do RMA. However, the process is going to take quite a long time.
