The only way I know to check if my device is turned off is to push the power button. But if the device was indeed turned off, it boots when I push the power button.
Does anybody know a good manner to check if the device is turned of without turning in on while checking?
If you use the Boot Manager in TD2 Tools (or whatever its called now) you can be sure its off.
Or you can set to wake up on power and if your unsure, plug it into a charger and if its off, nothing, otherwise it will unlock.
Or remove the stylus and if he's on it will turn on the screen and unlock.
u may want to try unlocking by pulling out stylus
this may unlock ur device, but would not turn it on if its off
Thanks guys, pulling out the stylus does the job really simple

Eventually it will stop working all together like mine has.
If you're not bootloader unlocked, then just call htc.
If you are, go ahead and either download an app of the market that will let you skip/disable the lockscreen or use a ROM with trackball wake/unlock built into it.
Also, if you power button stops working altogether, you will probably want to set your screen time out really low.
Finally, if your phone cuts off, the only way I have found to cut it back on is to plug the phone up to a USB cable and let the charging light come on, then remove the battery and as soon as the light cuts off put the battery back in and the phone will cut on.
I can't remember which on it is, either holding the volume down key or the trackball but one holding of those two will allow you boot straight into fastboot instead of hboot, because if you boot into hboot you have no way of accessing any of the other options since your power button is broke, but when you boot straight into fastboot you can at least apply a nandroid. Once I had a rom that broke adb usage and got stuck on the flash screen and I thought I was screwed until I happened to boot into fastboot, so these are just a few tips for you if it quits working altogether on you.
Hello Everyone,
I think I might have bricked my Fascinate using Tasker, but am very hopeful someone here can help.
I wanted to set-up a profile to turn off the volume and screen when my phone was placed face-down, which looked easy enough. First I programmed the volume off and tested it and it worked perfectly. Then I added turning the screen off which also worked perfectly, until I turned the phone face-up and the screen did not turn back on.
I can get the screen to comee on when I call the phone, but only while the phone is face-down, and I can't answer the phone or do anything. NO LED will come on signifing that I missed a call, but when I press the power button to bring up the lock screen NO LED disappears and the phone screen goes black again.
When I plug the phone into the computer via USB, I hear the beep signifing that the pop-up screen asking if I want to mount the sd card, but I can't select anything because...THE SCREEN IS BLACK!!
Thanks in advance for any help,
You should be able to fix it if you have debugging enabled and can use adb. Not sure of the exact method, but it can be done.
If You have usb debugging on you can delete tasker and you should be fine.

I had USB debugging on, but I think I might have turned it off. I really can't remember.
So, if debugging is off, there isn't anything thing else I can do?
Throw water on it and bring it back to VZW...
If you are rooted, this is why its a good practice to make Nandroid backups
I was wondering if there is a way to boot up the phone WITHOUT plugging into the usb i have tried taking the battery in and out and it doesn't work.
My phone sometimes shuts off randomly and my power button is broken so i can't just use the power button, this happens to me when i am away from home without my usb i usually just leave it alone and wait for it to turn its self back on but i'm afraid if it doesn't turn it self back on and really dont want to wait until i get home.
(I use Wake All to turn the screen on when it is already powered up and Screen off and lock to turn the screen of, i also have quickboot to turn the phone off.)
The best solution is: go to Motorola customer service and have the power button replaced.
Have a good day!
So recently, my Nexus One's LCD cracked while playing cricket.. BOHOO! So I took it to the repair shop, and he fixed my LCD. YAYY! But the repair guy messed up my power on button. Before it used to be so soft and easy to turn on, but now it only turns on if i press it on a certain spot, which is very ANNOYING! I took it back to him and he didn't really fix anything. I just want to ask you if you know any easy solution to this. No, not the trackball wake. Like would it be easy for me to open my phone up and repair the button myself? Or do you think i'm out of luck?
Thank you

well, sadly; my power button has given up finally.
Can anyone help me out by telling me how i'm supposed to turn my phone off completely. I'm using an app which allows me to turn my screen off and lock the phone, but is there one to provide me options for powering off and booting into recovery, bootloader etc? It's essential because i need to be able to turn my phone off to switch my battery packs, and to install new firmwares. Thanks.
Most importantly, how would i turn on my phone when it's completely turned off, since the power button wouldn't do any good
Try "Quick Boot" to switch 4-ways reboot function.
To turn on your N1, simply connect it to charger, whether it is wall, usb, or powerbank one. When the led lights up, pull your battery. As soon as the led down, insert your battery immediately.
My N1 has been "happily" running that way for months.

You officially have a paper-weight now. Does anyone know if there is still a "USB JIG" option for the Note8 and the USB Type-C port?

yes and dont know what to because my screen is a little bit broken and they will charged me new screen for power button
The only way to go would be to change the motherboard, sorry, I always install some apps to reduce the use of the power button since day one, I use gravity screen to awake the screen, and invisible widgets to turn it off, and shortcutter to make a tile to call the power menu, so, I only use the power button to ACTUALLY power the device ON

Here it was, I thought I was being conservative by using fingerprint unlock to save a few presses on my power button.
I wonder if the OP has a saved alarm set to go off at a specific time. I then forgot that the alarm clock doesn't work when the phone is off.

In fact I even try to save presses on volume buttons via virtual button bar

^^^That is taking it too far now. I assume you use wireless charging to save your USB port, and SSH to access your phone remotely, to save your phone from screen burn-in?
Edit: then there is bluetooth speakers / headphones to save the built in speaker.
Hahahaha! Only the wireless charging part too!

Hi. How did you manage that without the power button?
Mine broke too.
