[Q] Power Button Issue- Hardware or Software? - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My power button has been acting up for about a month now. When I press it, it will only turn on the screen one out of every 20 presses or so, and my power menu pops up randomly without me having touched the power button at all. The problem has persisted on 4 different roms, including ICS, GB, and stock froyo roms. My question is: How can I determine whether this is a hardware or software issue? What are my options in either situation?
Thanks in advance for any help!

If you would like to know WHAT pm'd, i have no problem sharing the same info with you (as another pm, this one to you). As robm1911, had said, outside links to pay services are a no no, which is why i sent him a pm. I do appreciate your diligence in helping keep everything fair, but its just another one of those things we have to abide by :thumbup:

Anyone know of a program that displays the stock ticker on your home screen, preferably that updates regularly or on demand, similar to the htc weather.
Thanks.

I agree with kumar00455. This was completely unnecessary. This forum is here for a reason and you cannot guarantee that he didn't search the forum. Sometimes things are harder to find. Try going through a few hundred threads. If someone gets misdirected or makes an error, I think we must all use our good judgment and direct them to where they can be address properly . Not turn them down--that defeats the purpose of a community!
Anywho, I found something you may like that displays stocks on the Today screen as a plug in. Personally, I haven't used it myself, but you may want to give it a try.

That is just soo rude...moderators do something!
thanks for the links guys i appreciate it,...and i did search the forum, didnt really find much. Not only was i looking for a program that displays the stocks on the homescreen updated, but as well anyone's feedback about which programs are better for this purpose, or which ones have worked better for you.
Thank you for explaining that i should learn to count to 10. That post was extremely helpful and i would like to express my deepest gratitude to that wonderful moderator for such an insightful tip. That was definately feedback at its finest.
lol thanks guys.

Hidden Programming Menu

I just got off the phone with support attempting to get my SMS working correctly and they had me go into a menu I had not seen anyone mention in here yet. This is a programming menu that you find on other android devices although I hadn't seen anyone find it for the droid X yet. Here is how to enter it-
##7764726
SPC password 000000
It was getting into a menu very similar to this on the Droid Incredible that enabled us to get Wifi Hotspot working without subscription.
Tinker away.
Anyone know what data call setting does?

What's more priceless is that there are people who think that a) everyone follows every single phone on this forum and b) people don't switch phones.
He found something he thought was interesting he wanted to share, and some scrubs try to make fun of him?
No wonder there is zero development inspiration for this phone. The emo teenieboppers will just be unappreciative and immature and ruin the community anyhow, so why bother?

It's only an option to enable/disable cmas which has something to do with with emergency alerts.
There is also another menu to access which the number is listed below, which I found in another thread here in the DX forums, but it seems to have been abandoned(the thread I mean).
*#*#4636#*#*
It's mainly the phone info and usage statistics, I see nothing for DUN settings in here either.

My implication was the inability to use search with 900+ posts under your belt. Instead just adding to the clutter of repetitive threads; which is unappreciative, immature, and ruin's the community.
Just because you don't see development, you again assume there is little inspiration... that's a little mind speaking.

Actually, since the entire Droid X forum here gets less hits than my personal website (which is unlisted, unadvertised and mostly for my friends and family), discouraging anyone from posting anything that might be additional or useful information is FAR more damaging to any community you might think you serve (FYI, "the community" is not considered "you and you alone" - despite what your parents may teach you).
If YOU (of course, that's what you are thinking of here) don't like it, hit the back button. If you need guidance in locating this tool in your browser, send me a PM and I will work through it with you since I am familiar with pretty much every major browser out there.

I know there is development, but not NEARLY as much as other phones released at the same time, and certainly the majority of it isn't discussed here. Gee, wonder why.
When you;
a) Figure out that you do not speak for any community or, in fact, comprise the majority opinion just because you think you do
and
b) Find the back button or the link located at the top of the page that takes you to the message list
THEN you can even begin to talk to me. Until then, let the discussion resume with the big people and you just stay quiet and let other people do all the work.
Thanks for your cooperation.

Your post is very hard to understand but I think your having problems installing a Rom. Follow THIS guide step by step and you will have CM7 installed onyour nook.
I kept coming back to this post, read it 5 times already. And everytime I find some new wondrous gobbledeegook I missed before! Thanks for the entertainment mate.

Be thankful

This thread purpose is to report a small bug that may help us, the community, to reward with more thanks our few developers.
Hey guys,
Recently I have tested what happens if press the thanks button from my xda premium app and this actually works, when I reach my limit of thanks I still can give thanks from the app even if the app will report that I can't give thanks anymore. You can check this by yourself:
1) reach the thanks limit
2) find thankless post
3) press thanks button from your phone
4) check the site from your pc because xda app won't recognize your thanks too soon but if you check the site you'll actually see the thanks you've just pressed on your phone.
So the conclusion is: Go on and press the thank button for every developer you see, they deserve it.
Thank me first.

Asking mods to delete this thread as it servers no purpose other than finding a loophole in the XDA app. And others might see this as a way to get thanks, which is sad in my eyes.

Hey, I haven't made this thread for thanks, this thread is to remind you to press the thanks button when a developer deserve it, also as you can see with this thread I have reported a small bug in the app thanks limit so don't limit yourself to just reading the title, you can always read the whole post. One more thing, have you actually read the post or at least have you understand a thing from this post ?
I do not think so and your arrogant accusations should be kept home because you just say things without rationality.

I fully agree with your sentiment Red . The trouble is the following posts, after your first , were farming thanks unfortunately .
Certainly not your fault but some didn't take your thread in the spirit it was meant , ie lets thank all the devs more as they deserve it .

Thread is off-topic to this phone and as most off-topic treads just lead to trolling and spamming.

[Q] Issues with CM12 nightly

Is there any known issue or bug in CM 12 nightly rom (official) for xperia v ?

On my Xperia V (12-20150502-NIGHTLY-tsubasa):
1. Problem with NFC - is not working.
2. The problem with time zones - in the installation steps "set the network" - is not displayed correctly (behind 1 hour). Xperia V with standard firmware works correctly.
3. The problem with speakerphone during a call - very strong background noise. When removing the back cover - everything works well, if you bring the phone (with the back cover removed) a hand or other object (eg metal) - the noise reappears.
This is only a small part of all possible problems ...

Guess what! I have already updated it into CM12 yesterday. I am facing one serious problem.
Every time I want to open gallery it shows warning "no external storage available " then exits form the app.
That's why I can't save pic after capturing .
Please give me a solution if you can because I could not find one.

Then you're not looking correctly; by now it is literally one of the most asked questions, kind of hard to believe you actually searched and/or missed any information regarding that problem on the OP of the thread you downloaded your ROM from.

This is how I give tech solutions to someone who has barely 8 posts and opens another thread to ask a question that is being asked every other day, instead of searching in the thread he downloaded the ROM from, or even searching the forums for a thread already open and dedicated specifically to the same question.
Also, at least I'm replying... try to wonder why no one else has replied to your post, considering by this time that everyone has most likely read about this problem and already knows the solution. Don't be lazy, search, and if you need help with problems, people will help you; but do your homework first because this is not a tech support forum.
