The lock screen button is giving me issues. It sticks down and I have to try and pry it up. It constantly brings up the power off menu if I'm trying to pull it back up. Do I have to pull the phone apart to fix it, or will verizon fix it for me? They shouldn't care that I'm running a rom on the ics leak.

If you can unstick the button you can just do a partial slide to power on the device. I wouldn't be surprised that Verizon and/or Motorola denying replacement because you have "unsupported" firmware even though it's a hardware issue. if you try let us know how it turns out.

This just happened yesterday after I used the camera and went through the gallery for a little bit. My power button doesn't lock/turn off the screen anymore, unless the lock screen is the one displayed. It still does all of its other functions properly - just doesn't lock and turn off the screen when I press it if I'm in an app or on the home screen. Anyone have any idea what happened and how it can be fixed??
It's a pain right now to have to wait for the screen to automatically turn off, so any help at all would be greatly appreciated!
I don't have any suggestions for a fix, but if you can't figure anything out, there's a workaround. Get one of the widgets from the market that locks your screen... not the best solution but better than nothing.

I ended up resorting to flashing a ROM all over again.
If you have Spare Parts installed, its the reason... Go to Spare Parts/End button behavior and change it to "go to sleep"... i had the same issue today
And why is this in development?

Reflash? Serendipity has been great for me. I have been using it since 5.0.. upgrading every step of the way. I probably wont flash anything else until the official comes put. I think maybe ill end up selling my cappy if that isnt soon. The original driod gets froyo before galaxy s... what a load of bs

Take a picture using the camera with the power button.
Don't ask why.

Any fix for no power button menu?
I'm having the same issue as nate360. My power button works for locking/waking up the screen, but doesn't do anything on a long press. No menu, no reset, nothing. I have to do a battery pull to turn off the phone!
3-button recovery works, but get this--the power button does not work in samsung recovery but does work in CWM recovery.
Did reflashing help? I've gotten my kernel and modem just how I want them, so I was hoping for a different fix.

Tried to take pictures with the power button. They work, but doesn't fix the power button. I love the ROM, and did not have this issue on 5.6 before upgrading. Thanks for any help
Update! In my frustration, i just took like 50 photos and videos using various combinations of power button and on screen capture button, and my power button menu is back! Hope it works for others. Thanks Mike!
It's fixed go and update to 5.8 silly bugs
I tried Serendipity 5.7 to 5.8 which was supposed to be a fix for the extended menu and i have not been able to install it successfully.
Getting "assert failed getprop ro.build.display.id" etc error.
Can someone help what I am doing wrong....

You're not on 5.7.
Thanks Mike, does it mean I messed up?
any suggestions how to get back instead of flashing from base.

Whatever it says in About Phone, you have to start from that version and work your way up.

Hey all about a year ago I bought an evo and boxed up my hero. Recently I decided to pull the hero out so I can root it and toy around a bit. Well when I turn it on it gets to the lock screen and doesn't want to respond to anything I do with the touch screen. Sometimes I can swipe the unlock bar and hit power and power again and it will unlock to my home screen. But most of the time nothing happens.
I've tried a soft reset - menu, phone, power. I've tried recovery from hboot. I've tried removing the battery and powering up hundreds of times. I've tried pressing my task killer widget from the home screen. One time I was able to get to the home screen and got the turn phone off window but it powered down and when I reset same issue.
Before I activated my evo I had no issues with the hero I initially just wanted the bigger screen. I never tried any hacks or rooting it. I stored it in a safe place, never damaged it. I'm shooting blanks now. Very strange.
Anyone have any ideas? Any suggestions would be appreciated...

Where'd you store it? Maybe some extreme temperature or pressure messed it up.
Hard to diagnose since you didn't root it or anything. Probably something inside got messed up. That's all I can figure.

Have you tried pressing Volume Down and Turning it on, then Doing a factory Reset that way? Also Try to Remove the Sdcard and Turning it on...
Good Luck!
Cool thanks for the replies. I'll give the factory reset a try without the SD card when I get home tonight. I've also been using the hero battery as a back up for my evo as they use the same battery. So if all fails I still have that.

Thanks PMGRANDS, removing the SD card and booting through recovery worked. Everything is working smoothly, rooting tonight let the fun begin...
I have a dead power button that I think is broken or have a dust in it that can't make it work.
I have read several threads about it.
For example the phone is off and i cant turn it on by power button is there any way to make it on?
using ADB?
or using a CM7/CM9 ROM? (some says that if you plug the charger it will automatically turn on)
or any methods that you can recommend?
I can relate, it's becoming quite common. Mine is slowly dying. I have volume rocker wake enabled and touch wake also. My understanding from reading other peoples problem is that it should turn on when plugged in with ics.
But if you are not on ics then i don't know how you'll turn it on to flash.
Sorry i cant help more

Mine died to....get a rom that can utilize the volume wake feature to use ur power buttons...I did that for a while until I got it fixed like last week

Thanks you too. Im using legend 5 and got MIUI locker for a while that it can wake up by using vol buttons. Used button remapping also for the power function. XD

Do at your own risk:
It's really easy to use a small( I mean correct size for the screws) screwdriver and pull the back plate off the phone and give everything a good cleaning out. You won't believe the junk you find in there. Chances are there's junk up in the power button. I used to have power button issues till I took it apart and cleaned it.
There is a guide(with pics) to tear it down and put it back together somewhere....
I've probably disassembled mine 3 or 4 times. Never had any trouble i only use 3 of the 6 screws to hold the back plate on. it's easier to deal with only three.
also you can use your fingernail to peel back the plastic by the screen and power button area. once you do this try your best to press your lips up to the phone and blow air through the crack. I use this almost every two weeks to get my power button to behave properly.
I think it's possible to replace the power button, might require soldering. I'm not sure, I've never needed to do it.
Hope this resource helps
So for some reason, randomly, I will lock my phone and not be able to unlock it or get the screen to come back on.
So I will lock my phone - come back - screen will be off - can't press any keys (home, power, volume) and get a response. Notifications and stuff still happens. I have to hold the power button in which the screen flashes (a line shoots across the screen, disappears and then Galaxy Note 3 shows up).
any recomendations?
That's not even close to right. I would be taking it back to where I bought it.

This must be a software issue. I've had this happen to me as well. Only once in the last two weeks. Seemed to happen when locking and unlocking repetitively.

Yeah, sometimes it wont happen for a long time. Sometimes it will happen repeatedly.
I dont know if related, by Knox keeps saying something about software trying to access information every time I reboot. I have no idea WHAT app its talking about because it doesnt freakin tell me.
Happened once and can assure you its a software issue. If it continues to be a problem I would recommend a factory reset.
