Howdy, couldnt find this in search so.. Got a bit of a problem here
My phones power button has been dying over the last month or so... Most times when i would press it nothing would happen.. id have to press it many times or harder to get it on.
Finally it came to me having to remove the backplate and pressing down on the button from the inside to get it to work.
Now it just plain stopped working.. the only way to get it on was to plug it in to usb or tell someone to call me.
Unfortunateley now I accidentley let it die so now i cant even power it on, so im curious if theres some way to power it on via usb?
phone is not rooted... time to call HTC up.
You can try removing and reinstalling the battery very quickly. Sometimes, if you do it fast enough, it will spontaneously power up. Good luck.

I have a Nexus One that recently don't boot.
THe first problem I got with it is the screen was turning black when I called someone. Then the phone didn't boot at all.
When I plug it on the power it gives me a light. I charged it till it's green.
Tried booting it with some tricks like hold : vol down, sleep button and the track ball. No result.
I don't thinkt he phone is rooted.
ANy ideas?
While the phone is plugged in, pull out the battery and put it back in a few times. Does the phone start back up? If so, it is most likely because your power button has gone bad.

I think this is the problem since I feel the power button is weird when I press it.
Any solution ?
thanks.

The "solution" is posted above. With phone plug into charger, remove and insert battery. Might take a few times for it to come on. That is if the power button is the cause.
You'll need some ROM with trackball wake if your button is broken.
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.

My power button is on the fritz now too. Is there someone who fixes this? Can I make a insurance claim?
As the title reads I am quite sure that the power button is broke in some way or another on my HTC Desire C. I believe this since the phone is off and I cannot start it up with the power button. The reason I think that it is the power button that is broken and not something else is that when I plug it into the charger the battery shows up on the screen as always and says its charging.
Now, I wont be able to have it in for service in a couple of months and I really need the phone right now.
I could probably live with a broken power button if I just got it to boot up, which is the big problem here! I have googled for answers and found some saying for example that to charge it while popping out/in the battery in different ways will make it automatically boot up but nothing seems to work.
Is there any way to power it up without using the power button?
(Probably a good thing to say that I am not using any kind of custom rom or whatever, everything is stock)
Would be really awesome if someone could help!
Okay, have read, right across the net, and unfortunately the more I read, the more muddled I have become, so utmost apologies in advance, as I know this has been asked on numerous occasions, but I can't for the life of me, interpret the information correctly. Basically I bought a used nexus one, with the all famous dead power button. After struggling to wake it using the battery pull technique, I eventually managed to get it going. It came with cynogenmod 7.2.0-passion, already installed. Now I thought there was a way to start the phone, after its been powered off, by pressing other buttons like volume up or down, and I went in cynogenmod settings, hit input and ticked volume rocker awake, but this won't turn on my device when it's off. So not sure if it's possible at all to use some hack to turn on the phone with other buttons other than the dead power battery, because the pull battery technique, is not very reliable. Thanks in advance.

Hey dude, I feel your pain as I had a similar experience last week. But unfortunately, there is no way you can start your phone unless you get your button fixed. The only other way is to do the rather unpredictable battery trick.
The volume wake and trackball settings are there only to awake your phone and not to turn it on.

Cheers buddy, will just eBay it, then.
