power button or battery - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

ok i have had a tilt for about 2 years now, and since the begining of the week its been giving troubles. i cannot put it in sleep mode(which drains the battery fast), when i press the power button it does nothing. and if it goes in to sleep mode by it self, when i pick it up it awakes and ask if i want to shut it off. any one have this problem or anything similar to it? oh its not a rom problem i have reflashed it twice and changed roms, and problem still presist.

sounds like a hardware malfunction with your powerbutton
there are programs which does what the power button does

but make sure you set wake up on any key in settings
or you have to softreset it to get it to start again

HELP!! Power Button Problem

I bought my friend's Blue Angel with WM5 upgraded, and found that Power button is ok. I can turn on, soft reset or press to shut the light off, but cannot shut down Windows. I have to use software Spb Plus shut down button instead.
I thought if i down the rom to Win 2003SE, it should be fixed. But it's not. The Power button still has the same problem. I cannot shut down.
Please help, how can i fix this.
Thx.
What happens if you just press Power for short moment as you do with all other buttons and you wait a second?
When I pressed Power button for a moment, the light is off. But when I press and release, nothing happen.
Long press = turn off backlight, this is normal.
But after short press it should go asleep - maybe button is worn out slightly and youi just need to press is stronger?
and of course try hard reset before - if you can do it (it involves pressing reset!) means button is ok, and there is something else. Anyway if after HR still button doesn't work correctly, I have no idea what it can be.

I did as you said.
Long press --> turn off backlight --> ok
Soft Reset --> ok
Hard Reset --> ok
Short press --> go asleep --> don't wok
Hard press -> for asleep --> don't work
or power button damage, but why other action with this button is ok except short press for asleep. --a
Sorry my English is not good
I have the exact same problem, no I dea what has caused it?
The XDA will not power down any more.
I will try reflashing to see if this will rectify it.
I must admit altough many people have put an enormous amount of work into adapting WM5 rom to suit the Blue Angel .I have all but given up with the WM5 roms short comings (WiFi , Bluetooth ,Instability ect)
So its goodbye XDA2S and hello Nokia N95
Anyone can help? Please.
I have exact the same problem. I CAN NOT shut the device down by pressing (short) the power button. I have to use Spb-plus which has a "Shut down" icon shown on the Today screen to do the trick.
Is there any fix to use the power button on the device to do what it is meant to do?
Thank alot!
Maby this can help
Hi.
I had the exact same problem and have searched an read. no solution until last night.
My phone hung after some fiddeling with tomtom, and i popped the battery. i switched it on, and for some reason i decided to turn off the backlight during boot. So power on- wait 1-2 sec - hold power button until backlight goes off. the screen flashed a couple of times and then after boot had finnished it worked again. HORRAY.
Before this i have tried soft/hard reset ++ but nothing worked. so im really happy...
Give it a try, and let me know.. i know a lot of people have this problem.
wow mate...i dunnno how...but it seems it worked for me...thanks...

Kaiser resumes from standby itself

I have a very annoying problem. When I press the power button, it goes to standby, but after a few seconds it lights up again as if i pressed the power button again I flashed the same ROM, the problem dissapeared for several weeks, so I think that the hardware is OK (no buttons stuck). Today it happened again. I did a soft reset but it didn't help Anyone has an idea about that?
PS When I leave it to go standby itself, it does and doesn't wake up itself

Htc Tytn 2 Screen problem

Hi everyone,
I got a HTC Tytn 2 and i have a problem with it.
When i boot the phone it starts up and goes into windows like every windows mobile phone.
But when i press the standby button my screen wont go out of standby.
Only when i reset the phone it will work again.
Anyone got idea's ?
Oke, since no one responded.
Is there any way how i can make the Power Button replaced with the Speed Dial Button.
Because i think my power button is broke.

Have you at least tried backing up your data and doing a hard reset first ?
Yes, and i have also tried to put on a new rom and even updated the radio.
Iam a little bit out of idea's...
here are some more ideas:
1. how to test the power button: you say pressing the power button does not wake up the device once it goes to sleep. conversely, does pressing the power button put the device to sleep while the screen is on? if the power button is unable to make the device go off->on as well as on->off, then the power button is likely broken. if pressing the button achieves on->off, then the power button is probably ok and some software issue becomes more likely.
2. how to enable wake on pressing ANY hardware button: look for an option in Settings. i can't tell you the exact option because the ROM i am using does not have a link for this option, but this option does exist 100% in stock ROM and in lots of other ROMs. it contains settings like "Lock all buttons except power button" and "Keep all buttons unlocked" or something similar. by using the second option, pressing ANY hardware button while the screen is off will wake up the device.
3. you can use AE button plus to perform even more advanced button (re)mappings.
4. just to be sure that your device is really working correct, does the screen wake up when you call the phone or when you receive a text message? if it does not wake up even then, then search for "sleep of death".
Thanks for the response.
I think its a Service of Death problem.
Because when i try calling/smsing it, it wont go on
The buttons do work then...hopefully there's a fix for this problem...
Oke, i tried switching to 2G or 3G only but that didn't fix my Standby of Death.
I also bought a new sim card of vodafone so i wont get a No Sim error.
But what can i do now about it...it hangs like every 5 min...
Okay, after a will testing, the phone hangs every time its almost like when iam on the road with my tytn 2 and placing it upside down, it hangs.
But when iam putting it in the leather holder it doesn't hang.
Any had the same problems ?

Maybe it's hardware and something is coming loose

Power button issue

I just discovered yesterday that my power button seem to be not working. Pressing it doesnt lock the screen and long pressing it doesnt bring up the power options. Tried wiping everything and still the issue remains. When I pull my battery and then insert it back the phone boots itself, as if the power button is pressed all the time (even though i can still click it and its not stuck). Ive been using rom toolbox for the power menu but choosing to turn off the phone makes my phone have a screen freeze, all other options work like reboot, fast reboot, reboot recovery etc. Anyone know how to fix this?
Edit: After a couple of days my power button is working again

How did you get it to work? Or did it started working on it's on? Thanks
I've seen that happen on mine, due to a bad USB charge port. Replaced it, problem disappeared.
Any chance your device sometimes thinks it is docked to a docking station?
Inexpensive part to obtain, less than 10 dollars (usd), takes about 15 minutes or less to replace.
In the 2+ years I've had mine, I've gone through 4 of them LOL...I'm hard on charge ports I guess.

It just started working again. When I turned off my phone to place my sim back and it didnt boot up automatically, I knew the power button is working again. Pressed the power button, device booted up and the issue is gone. I dont know if mh device thinks its docked, i dont have a docking station and ive never had problems with my charging port yet.
I've been using my N7000 for 2 years and this thing happened for 3-4 times. The lock button will be like stop working, sometimes it is like being press all the time and the problem will be sorted out by itself. Normally when this happens, the phone will be laggy and will reboot by itself. Is it a common thing for this phone?how do you get your phone fixed Kcube989?

No responding M7

Hi all,
This morning i check if my bootloader was unlocked, because i wan't to give it a try to root it.
I found out it was unlocked (holding down volume and press the power button)
After that, i rebooted my phone and everything worked normal.
Until a couple of hours later, my screen didn't wake up when i pushed the power button.
The homebutton and the backbutton where flickering (going on and off)
So, i waited for a couple of minutes, but nothing changed.
After (i think) 10 minutes, i hold the power button for a couple of seconds and the flickering buttons stopped.
Since then my phone doesn't repsond anymore. I tried the powerbutton for a while, and with the combination of holding the vol. up and down.
So far nothing helped.
Does anyone know what's wrong, and what i can do to wake my phone from its coma?
Thanks in advance!
Enjoy your weekend. Ben
Did you press the power button for a few second before the soft keys started going on and off? Does your phone show a green battery animation when you connect it to a charger?
If the soft keys started flashing on their own, and if your phone doesn't show any signs of life even when you attempt to charge it, I'm afraid this is a hardware problem which no one can fix online.
let's wait and see what more experienced members have to say.
