My Nexus One doesn't shut off. Simply does not stay powered off. I hold down the power button, push Power Off, it reboots. Any other way I've used to power down the phone also just results in a reboot. I take the battery out, put it back in, it reboots. I power off from bootloader, it reboots, same from recovery.
I've searched my problem elsewhere and found little results...one topic from Google's (archived) N1 forum is unresolved, but mentioned the possibility of reverting the phone back to stock to fix this issue. It should probably be noted that I've flashed multiple ROMs since I noticed this happening...to no avail. My power button is also malfunctioning...was dropped power button down into liquid for about 1 second before I could grab it out (approx six months ago). After that, I waited about 9 hours before inserting my battery back in. Since then, my power button frequently "shorts out" and every so often comes up with the power menu dialog even though I'm not physically pressing it. Could this be why the phone doesn't shut down all the way? Thanks for any help.

Build date 1007 - in service August 2010.
I've been running Pinnacle 1.2 (been on it since v1.0).
Just moments ago I've found the power button to be unresponsive. This happened after I rebooted into recovery, sticking me there for a while.
I was stuck in a recovery loop- pull batt, reinstall batt, automatic boot back into recovery.
Somewhere in the process of trying different combinations of battery pulls with cable installs and volume up/down holds (trying for download mode) I ended up finally launching the ROM, but w/o a power button all I can do is pull the battery, and the moment I do, the phone automatically wakes w/o even touching the power button (which is totally new to me).
Any input would certainly be appreciated.
My first order of business is to flash to stock (JF6, bootloaders and all if all else failed) but being that it automatically boots when the battery is installed I don't think even a jig would help...or is the beer steering me wrong?
I am confused. You can go back to stock or no?
I cannot get into download mode. The only way to power the phone off is via battery pull.
I cant flash anything from recovery because it says the power button is disabled (it is).
As I put the battery back in the phone boots immediately...I mean the at&t screen lights up my palm before I put the cover on or even flip the phone over.
Use an app from market to enter download mode? system toolbox free is one
Used Odin to go back to stock KF1 and still no power button. Now System Toolbox won't work w/o root/busybox. lol
Once my phone falls asleep I can't wake it back up.
It may seem obvious that the power button is physically broken but I don't know why the phone boots up as soon as the battery is installed...that was never the case before this issue came up.
watsa? Anyone?
Can anyone else shed some light on what would make the phone boot when the battery is inserted (happened at the same time the power button became unresponsive), essentially denying me the opportunity to get to download mode.
beyond this point I am consfused myself. I initially blamed Pinnacle and thought going back to stock might fix it which obviosly didn't happen.. It seems like your power button is always "pushed" so as soon as you pop your battery in phone reboots..

On a second thought if it was the case then power button should have messed up functioning of your phone even after powering on. So I am consfused more. Need a hardware expert here
I'm preparing myself to deal with my beloved phone finally letting me down after all the success we've had...it's just really bad timing as I'm currently unemployed, broke and only 13ish months into a 48 month contract.
Ok, so after a physical tear down it seems to be in the external plastic of the button itself?
After removing the outer case and reinserting the battery I noticed it did not automatically boot up. I pressed the actual power switch/button that is connected to the board and the phone then powered up. I let it finish booting and held the power button down and the power options menu popped up. I clicked Power Off and it shut down fine.
This means it certainly isn't Pinnacle ROM (never thought it was, personally), or software related at all. Now to figure out what is going on between the plastic external power button and the power switch on the board.
Edit: Nothing was there? I blew out the dust reassembled the phone and now it works fine. Weird.
I used droid turbo normally for 3 weeks (but I am not joining the verizons as I bought from a friend who got it from verizon)
Yesterday, the screen was still, so I pressed power button.
But when I pressed again, it did not turn on as usual.
I pressed and hold, still not work.
So I did the rebooting by pressing the power button + volume down for 15 seconds.
Since then I tried many ways - recovery mode, back up data and reset factory setting and then reset all accounts...
The results are the same:
When the screen is off after idling it for several mins, i couldn't turn it on, and need to reboot it and after more than 10 mins (every time different time) after the droid word, it came to the front page.
And when it is turned on, the camera and phone dialling don't work.
What should i do?
Try the power button again. Press and hold for 30-seconds, then let go and see if it powers-up.
Hi all,
Recently my HTC One would randomly have a pop-up that said something along the lines of "To reboot, press and hold the power button" along with a countdown and then the phone will reboot itself. This can happen any time, sometimes multiple times within a half hour, even when it is charging.
The last time it happened, it rebooted, got to the blank black screen, and rebooted again. I've plugged it in to charge but it would not stop rebooting. I've unplugged it to let it run out of battery so hopefully it would stop rebooting itself and I can try charging it again. Once it ran out of juice, I charged it and it continued rebooting itself. Pressing the power + volume keys only worked twice but the screen wouldn't stay long enough for me to select fast reboot or factory reset before rebooting itself again. Now pressing power + volume keys doesn't cause any effect on the phone.
I've never tempered with any of the software settings on my phone and it has been sent for repair three times last year. Also, my laptop does not recognise the phone when I plug it to my laptop.
Any advice would be much appreciated! Thank you in advance!

Normally you get this message when holding the power button. So this message in addition to the rebooting issues makes me believe you have an hardware problem with your power button, maybe its stuck?

I tried pressing on the power button, it seems to be depressing fine. Is there any way I can affirm this?

I think what you explained at post #1 is enough to conclude your power button or something hardware related to it is the problem. I think you'll have to send your device for repair unfortunately unless you want to open the phone yourself to have a look which is not always good idea.
Hi all,
This morning i check if my bootloader was unlocked, because i wan't to give it a try to root it.
I found out it was unlocked (holding down volume and press the power button)
After that, i rebooted my phone and everything worked normal.
Until a couple of hours later, my screen didn't wake up when i pushed the power button.
The homebutton and the backbutton where flickering (going on and off)
So, i waited for a couple of minutes, but nothing changed.
After (i think) 10 minutes, i hold the power button for a couple of seconds and the flickering buttons stopped.
Since then my phone doesn't repsond anymore. I tried the powerbutton for a while, and with the combination of holding the vol. up and down.
So far nothing helped.
Does anyone know what's wrong, and what i can do to wake my phone from its coma?
Thanks in advance!
Enjoy your weekend. Ben
Did you press the power button for a few second before the soft keys started going on and off? Does your phone show a green battery animation when you connect it to a charger?
If the soft keys started flashing on their own, and if your phone doesn't show any signs of life even when you attempt to charge it, I'm afraid this is a hardware problem which no one can fix online.
let's wait and see what more experienced members have to say.
Hello,
I have a rooted and TWRP installed but otherwise stock 5.something T710 that I had worked on months ago. It's been great and my daughter had been using it to watch videos a couple days ago. I took the tablet from her at the end of our road trip and noticed it had about 63% battery left. I left it in the truck while we went to the movies(about 40 degrees f outsides) and then drove home without ever touching it until we got home. I went to use it when we got home and it would not turn on. I plugged it in to let it charge thinking it died for some reason, using the stock charger, though battery icon never appeared. The next morning I went to check it and it still would not turn on.
When I press the power button or plug in or unplug the charger the Recent and Back soft key lights will turn on for a second, then turn back off again.
I've tried:
Holding the power button down alone for over 3 minutes.
Held the power and volume up button for over a minute
Power and volume down for over a minute.
Home, volume down and power for over a minute
Home, volume up and power for over a minute.
I can connect it to my computer and it recognizes that my Tab S2 is connected but no files show as the default for the device was just charging mode and not the file modes.
Odin3 v3.10.7 recognizes it as connected. But fails to send the TWRP file again.
Any help?
Since the soft keys light up and the computer recognizes the device, it sounds like maybe the tab is still working but with no display? By any chance did you have adb working? I f so you could try rebooting, or booting into recovery to see if you see anything on the screen. It's possible that when you held the button combos, that it did boot into download and recovery but you couldn't see anything? In which case it could be a hardware problem. Hopefully it will fix itself! Sorry I can't be of more help..
Well adb shows the device as unauthorized. Reboot command says the same thing.
The home key is unresponsive to my finger print unlocks and no sound plays when I try to adjust the volume, like the ding sound it makes to hear if this is the volume level I want. There are never any of the capacitive touch vibrations or whatever its called to feel when you press a button on the screen.
I was wondering if it had something to do with hardware it's just strange that it would stop working from just being in my truck. From my knowledge it was never dropped or bumped heavily or anything, at least recently.
I guess it is possible something just burned up inside, that would be inconvenient, I've got to look up if its still in warranty. I love the size and performance of this thing.
Thanks for replying, hopefully more to come.
Still can't get it to work, same issues as above. I let the battery fully die which took about 2+weeks from the initial post. Which is to say that eventually the back and recent buttons stopped lighting up. I recharged it and after holding the power button for a few seconds the same condition repeated itself. If I touch the power button or home button the back and recent button back lights turn on for a moment and turn off again. There is no other indication of life. I would assume if it was just a dead screen then I should feel it try to turn on.
If I had to replace parts which ones should I look at first? Probably just the main board?
Buy a new one. Send yours in as defect. Done.

I see that is an old thread, but I having the same issue to a certain degree. The screen goes dark, but I can see the back light. If I play around enough times, (pressing the back and process button, before pressing the sensor button... Sometime, pressing the volume buttons and back button before pressing the sensor button), everything goes back to normal. Of course, it some random time, even when I am reading a web page or some other activity, it will go back to black.
So has anyone figured out what this issue actually might be? I thought maybe it was an issue with the ROM I was using, so I just moved over to LineageOS 16, but the problem still continues!
