i can't unlock it

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.

Can`t turn my Xeperia Z on

Hi,
i got my Xperia Z yesterday and already have a problem. Yesterday in the evening i listened to some audible content. I didn´t turn off the app, because it goes in sleep mode after finishing the downloaded part. I had stamina mode active. Today my phone doesn´t react. It is off the screen is dark. I can push the powerbutton how i want, the phone doesn´t react. I tried to recharge it, because i thought the battery was completly empty, but i don´t even have the led active which is normally active when you plug in your phone.
Does anybody have had the same issues? And can give me a hint what to do? Otherwise i will have to change the device tomorrow. It´s my first sony, so perhaps there is a trick with it i don´t know.

Take it back.

Hardware reset combination...similar to a battery pull for devices with user changeable batteries.

Can some1 check temps?
Might be a safe mode of sorts due to overheating?
Sounds like this is a common issue on the forums.

i don´t think its because of overheating. Today it was two times in sleepmode for a bit longer, and after both i had to restart it with the method mentioned above. I think it is a software failure. Maybe something with the staminamode. I will switch the staminamode off and wait if it happens again.

I imagine a small firmware update will fix this. Be sure to report it to Sony every single time it happens.

Yes, i will do that. Bsides this bug, i´m very satisfied with the experia z, even with the battery life.

You don't have choice if the phone freezes
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk 2

Ever since they introduced non-removable batteries with XS ( and I still have a bone to pick with Sony regarding that choice ), they introduced a hardwired phone reset/shut down combination that is accessed via volume up+power button, that apparently by the sound of this thread, still functions the same as it did with S.
I've had my Xperia S freeze in middle of something ( can't remember what ) after it went to standby mode, and the only way to fix it is either to wait for your battery to die, or to manually reset the phone via volume up+power button combo.
It's safe to perform as much as you'd like, it just resets the phone or shuts it down, depending on how long you keep it pressed. It saved my Xperia S from water damage on one occassion, although I guess I won't have that problem with Z.

The same thing happens with my nexus 4.. Its somewhat related to hardware I guess. Cos xperia z and nexus 4 are very simpilar in case of hardware. around 10% people are facing such problems on nexus 4. Its a hardware problem I guess..

HELP urgent ! power button issue

i cant use power button anymore its not working..it started earlier with izs v1 and v1.1 that sometimes it wakes up screen sometimes not then after i suffered with it i flashed many other roms but the problem was there still..so i tried remapping Power to Gkey and i did but sometimes it works and some more times it just doesnt and i keep pressing on it for 5 minz to make it work
i cant use phone anymore..any help? i just want any way to wakeup the screen easily ..i dont care for buttons

I had the same problem with my OB an year ago. Power button doesnt wake up the screen and refuses to work. For me though it turned out that the whole strip joining the earphone jack, the power button and the earpiece had to be changed. Check for the above mentioned points and claim the damage under warranty and let them do the rest if that is the case. Dont let em buttons rot further. Phone might eventually cost even more to repair.

I got the same problem a couple of months ago. If yours is still under warranty bring to repair immediately! When my power button got broken, the whole motherboard of the phone was changed. I'm no specialist in fixing stuff but without warranty fixing it might be quite pricey.

See if it works if you squeeze the phone by the USB port . if so open it up and put something in there so there's a constant pressure in that area. Assuming you aren't getting it repaired

I opened up the phone and put a piece of folded paper basically above the Sim card and beside the camera. You could try just taking the back off and put it in the same place. If just taking the back off isn't enough just open it up

Gkey should work as long as you're on ICS or above. Reread the post and try it out.

M8 won't power on

My M8 won't power on the battery was drained out and powered off , got home put on charger over night and tried power it back on but won't power on it been 3 day still not powering on I held down the power button and volume up nothing and held down the power button and volume down and still nothing it won't power on at all any ideas can anyone help me with thise or might any other solutions or tips

Try a different power cord.

sounds like it might need a jump charge, make sure you're using the htc charger and cord that came with the device. if you still cant get it to charge take it into a sprint store and tell em the phone died and cant be charged, they'll use some special thing to jump start it

On my friends LTE I googled something similar and found that on that phone u had to reset the battery charge logic by holding power, volume up, and volume down for 2 minutes. It started taking a charge after that. Might be with a shot?

Glad it fixed yours, my friends EVO is dead, she jumped off the HTC ship and got herself an s4 :/ lucky for me though because she doesn't feel the need to use her upgrade (47 days) and we are on the same account. So she said I can use hers instead of mine (228 days)
