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.
I haven't seen ANYTHING about this so now I'm wondering if its just me/mine. While welding at work, I keep my ringers, notification sounds, and all sound n tones at full volume so I can hear (and feel) when it rings, but when my boss or co-worker needs to talk to me and I get a text msg or email and the ringtone is blastin over their talking, there ain't no way to make it stop immediately. I gota pull out my phone, push the talk, end, or trackball and wait for the screen to light up, then slide to unlock (then wait for it to unlock), then slide down notification bar THEN ITLL STOP THE TONE. My company doesn't mind our personal phones and calls, its just rude that I can't make it stop without the whole process above. Can anyone help me with this?

Make it to where notifications are silent..... or go in to your menu and go to sound settings and turn your notification volume down. Simple

If I set it to silent, I won't hear it while welding. I gota have the volume max. I just wana be able to instantly stop the notification ringer IF it happens to start blasting while I'm talking to someone. Any better ideas, anybody?

Just hit your volume button and it will stop
Sent from my Zio using XDA Premium App
^^ yes. hitting the volume button will silence all notifications, but will not send them to voicemail.
In all honesty, I tried hitting the volume buttons, and every button on the phone, no luck. Before the update hitting the volume buttons would silence everything but now it only works with phone calls but not other notifications. But thanks anyways everyone.

Set notification tones as short (<1.5 seconds), loud tones.

Are you using a non-stock app for SMS etc?
The guy's forum name is itrustno1. Honestly, I don't know why anyone even responds. He really doesn't trust any of the answers he's been given...

I dunno why anyone answers him at all. He asks questions that have answers. Or questions that should be easy enough to figure out. I'm not wiping his ass, you all shouldn't either.

I noticed this today also. When you have notifications set for texts you can't silence them. I've tried volume buttons trackball send button camera button And the end button. All would not silence it. Volume button will silence calls but not texts. This doesn't matter to me at all because I just use the stock short notifications because I hate long ones. Just putting that out there

I'm starting to notice a lot of d***heads that know all this tech-y stuff really think they're too good to help someone out that ain't all too tech-y. With the exception of Mattix724, who has helped me a time or two with things that wer easier than this without bi*ching.

Sorry to hear with your troubles with notifications not going silent when you hit volume, I still use stock ringtones/notifications and have no issue.
Sent from my Zio using XDA Premium App
Same here. No issues but still using stock sounds.

I don't really know techy stuff tho is the point. If you can get on Xda you can search just like I do. And when reading isn't enough I go to proper places outside Xda to get live help. Like openzio.

I guess that works for u and I'm sure for others too, but till I catch on to this "forum" stuff, it just seems to work for me to just ask with as much details as possible, and then check back later. But thanks anyways.

No problem... I'll look into the issue and once I get a resolution I'll post here for all experiencing the same issue.

I know I saw a forum about the home and back key sensitivity issue, but I can't seeem to find it. If someone could direct me to the forum or a way to a fix, that would be great.

This is not an issue of sensitivity but does any one else think the hit area for the back and home buttons to be really small.
Sometimes I find myself swiping around the area just to make sure I hit them.
As an aside is there a way to keep the capacitive buttons lit while the screen is on. I think this would help me deal with the issue.

I'm with you on that one. Many times I have to tap around that area a few times before I actually get it to register.

Seems my swipe to answer takes anywhere from 3 to 5 swipes before it will actually answer the call. Is this an isolated thing or are others having the same issue? Missed plenty of calls because of it.
No issues answering calls at all for me.

Some difficulties here, just have to make sure to hit it exactly on mine.

Are there any hardware buttons that answer like the power button can end?

I rest my finger on the answer before swiping. Works better That way. Have seen the same issue.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk
I find this problem on every Android phone I ever owned, touched or played with.
I changed it to Home Button to answer the call,it's a lot better (you can change in ACCESSIBILITY).
Resting my finger on the answer slider for a split second seems to be helping. Kind of annoying that I have to do this on a brand new phone but what can I do...thanks guys
Hold your finger on the answer button until the green ring gets larger, then swipe.

I think this is a pocket guard feature if your phone is facing your leg. Just my two cents. Don't think it can be disabled.

first make restart. then you can return to factory settings

your right on with that answer, there is about a 500 millisecond delay for swipe to answer in order to prevent the accidental answering of a call while its in your pocket/purse/briefcase etc. this can be modified by changing some smali code in the incallui.apk (i believe) but i wouldnt recomend it.
i find my phone calling people from time to time. when i take it out of my pocket. lol.. dont think the feature is helping me t all.
