Today I noticed that the power button does not work because when I can not unlock, but to remove and replace the battery automatically turns on what I'm thinking is that the power button got stuck
any idea?
Going to need alot more info. Where you running stock or custom rom?

im not running a rom, i stay in stock rom.
all started when I received a text message and read the message, when I wanted to block it and not work the power button. I have noticed that sometimes it works with a few strokes with my fingers but it shows me if I turn off the phone. I believe that the power button is stuck
Sounds like a warranty exchange

sometimes with few little strokes xD
when I put the battery automatically turns on, but if I keep pressing the 3 buttons combo I can enter recovery mode, but don't works power button in this mode =/
I'd try an clean around the button and if that works
I am not sure thus will do anything but if you can't get your phone running at all you can try to Odin flash stock to see if maybe it clears the problem. If you cab get into recovery then the power button works for something

yes that's the problem, i cannot get to enter to download mode Because the phone will automatically turn on
Try this. Take battery and sim out. Plug USB in. Hold volume up and down. Put battery in.

Inzombie, what exactly did you do? I have been having the same problem for quite some time...I was able to get into download mode using a program I found on the internet, and I flashed back to stock but the power button is still messed up, it doesn't work at all. What exactly did you do
i know this is an old topic but I have the same problem. I got this phone from a friend and now I cant use the power button. I have taken it apart twice now trying to fix it with no luck. I know it isnt the rom. The button is "stuck" but it still clicks. I know it is stuck because it will never turn off. Once battery is in it turns on, and for 3 button recovery, I only need to hold the vol rocker.
coming from the evo forum...so the gfs power button stopped working and now the phone turned off and i have no way of turning it back on...any1 have an idea...not rooted
Return,for warranty... Unless you drop it or something?

Has anyone else had trouble doing simulated battery pull? Ive done it before but when I just went to try it, it gets to 1 sec and doesnt reboot. Even held 30 secs longer and nothing. Anyone have any idea why that is? Will it only allow simulated battery pull when phone freezes?

I had to have the sensor in front of my laptop when I was doing stuff in the dark.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Weird how the proximity sensor can effect the powering on/off of a device. Never had that probem before. Then again Ive only owned one other phone without a removable battery. Had the htc 4g lte for a short time before getting this htc one. Is this just a software "glitch" that could be fixed with an software update or something in the htc one hardware?

Sad part is, wasnt long ago I read somewhere on xda how someone was told to do the bright light when they couldnt get their phone to power on and it worked. Never dawned on me to try that to restart it..well simulate battery pull anyways. Never seems to restart (maybe Im just impatient lol) without pressing power to get it to boot back up.

Never own a phone with build n battery so this is new to me. But cool tip I will remember this.
You just aim the light sensor but the speak to a bright light and press n hold power?

Yep if you want to do a simulated battery pull or have trouble doing it or getting your phone to power on. Just hold phone (sensor part anyways) under bright light and it should work

htc did this to prevent accidental button combos while in pocket/bag

I've had the tablet for about six months, it's completely stock, and never had any problems.
I plugged it in earlier and the battery symbol comes up to show it's charging but then it disappears and goes blank then a few seconds later it does the same thing? It won't turn on, I've tried holding volume down+power but still nothing? I've tried a different charger, I'll try a different lead tomorrow.
Anyone have any other ideas? I need to get it working as soon as possible as we use it as a baby monitor.

Now solved.
It was a dodgy lead.

Well here's my scenario. My M8 is completely stock. While doing a profile update the phone froze. After 3-4 minutes I pushed the power button. The screen shut off and that was it. Now I can't even get the little light to come on when charging it. Any ideas folks

If it is still in your 14 day period return it, other wise use htcs support
Try holding volume up and down + power, can take up to 2 minutes. If not return it.

Mine did the same thing. I had to send it to HTC. My replacement is on its way. Turnaround is about a week from the day you send it.

I'm not sure as to what happened, but in the morning about 12 hrs after it happened I put it on the charger and the light came on. It was blinking do I let it charge and now it's OK. The phone does notify me that it did an abnormal restart and that it wanted to send a report to htc.
