i can't unlock it

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.

Captivate power button issues

My captivate is having weird power button issues, it only works sometimes, other times it won't work, however if I push it a few times the power menu will come up, I can't tell if it is hardware or software related. Cognition 4.0 rom.

I had a similar issue and eventually the power button dropped dead. I had to flash back to stock and send it in for a replacement phone.

Dang I don't have insurance, wonder what the warranty is on this thing.

Every single captivate out there is still under Samsungs 1 Year warranty . So just ask samsung and don't ask for a replacement from AT&T

Won't power on.

Twice now my verizon gt would not come out of sleep mode when I hit the power button. Log press, short press, multi tap, long long long press, nothing.
First time I thought the battery was dead and plugged it in and left it for a while and went back and it was working normal. Last night I was positive the battery was ok and just let it sit for ten minutes and then when I hit the power button it woke right up.
Is it possible for an app to cause this?
Thanks, Harry

No. Not trying to overclock.

[Q] Droid 4 Problem

I come to you all with a slight problem. I own a rooted Incredible 2 device and I'm doing great. My friend, however, owns a Droid 4. She went from an Envy3 to a brand-spankin'-new smartphone. She came to me for help since I pretend to know what I'm talking about.
Now the problem she's having is that sometimes when she turns her phone on, the backlight come on and the softkey lights come on, but the phone doesn't boot up. I've played with it a bit and after doing to reset method (hold down power + vol down) and it works every now and again but most of the time it does not work.
I'm hoping you guys can diagnose and help me out. Thanks!

I imagine you've already checked, but just in case and because the most obvious things tend to sometimes slip our minds...the battery is charged, right? If it shuts back down before fully booting, that could be it. If it just sits there partially booted, idk. Also, plugged in or not plugged in when this happens?

Haha, yes. I was going to add that in the original post but I thought it was too obvious. Uh, it might be partially booted? It's just the backlight and softkeys that are lit up.

Stock d4?... rooted... ? If stock I'm guessing you tried the basics like safe mode (hold "OK" button from moto dual core screen till it says safe mode...) FDR... FDR and safe mode without SD card... ? When booting or the attempt to boot where does it stop? Do you see the dual core screen... the DROID eye... can you get into the recovery menu?

No, just a dark screen.

Sounds like a hardware problem to me. Best bet is probably to have VZ replace it under warranty.

[Q] bricked atrix hd, no root, no unlocked bootloader

My mothers phone is an atrix hd and this morning, we awoke to basically a dim blank screen and no ability to boot the phone. i never rooted the phone or did any type of customization or development on it. just basically wont work. any help would be appreciatied. also my pc is not recognizing it. i was hoping to find a way to unbrick it so we wont have to use our warranty plus the xmas season a phone is in high use. thanks

Does it respond to the wall charger?

Some time they do that hold your power key and press up and down on your volume keys it will boot back up
