only when on - power button doesnt work - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello gents
My power button doesn't work when my device is on.
I know its not a physical problem because when I pull out the battery then put it back in and hold the power button, the device turns on.
It only doesn't work when the device is on.
Tried holding it down for a while but nothing.
My device is not rooted.
I am on 4.0.4
thanks

i had the similar problem first my power button stopped working sometimes, then my phone started to restart automatically sometimes , then frequently, then daily and finally i got a free replacement of motherboard

same here
phone restarts by itself too

And also my internal clock was not functioning properly

[Q] Now my power button completely broken, how can I turn N1 on/off?

My N1 power button is unresponsive to any press and I realized it's completely broken. Now I can't turn off screen, turn off a phone and when i turn it off I know I won't be able to turn it on again.
I live outside US and can't get N1 to repair.
Do you guy have a way to turn N1 on without power button ?
Quickboot for shutting down, restarting etc.
Lock enabler for sleeping the screen.
Some short of trackball wake to wake the screen.
To restart from power off, just pull and reinsert the battery a few times, or pull and reinsert the sim.
Theres a thread on here, where someone replaced the power button for about $30...

My phone will not completely shut off!

When I shut down my phone, the screen will go black and it will vibrate like normal. Last I checked the vibrate was to confirm that it was completely shut off. Instead, the four touch sensitive buttons will light up and stay lit until I turn the phone back on or, of course, pull the battery. This is also keeping me from entering download mode. A few days ago the phone was shutting down correctly and I have been able to enter download mode, but now the problem is going on again. I'm on official 2.2 Froyo updated through kies mini. My phone is rooted, but this problem occurred before I rooted.

Sounds like a warranty replacement.
I've had it for over a year. I wonder why it's just now doing this.

I think I have come to a conclusion on why it doesn't seem to shut down completely and would need someone with a captivate that has all fully functional buttons. I believe that since my power button sticks, when the phone vibrates to confirm a shutdown, the capacitive touch button lights will not shut off until the power button is released. So if someone wouldn't mind shutting their phone off while holding the power button and tell me if you can make the lights come on after the vibrate while holding power button? Thanks in advance.

White screen of death after starting?

Hello
After opening the slider the screen went black on my droid 3. I could not power it on any more with the power button.
So I pulled out the battery and pressed the power button after putting the battery in its place. The result was an almost white screen with very little coloured spots.
Every time I press the power-button that happens. After that I can not power off the droid with the power button I have to pull the battery out.
After some hours of testing and droid started occasionally. I used it for some minutes and pressed the power button. The screen went black and I could not wake the phone up by pressing the power button.
I pulled out the battery. After putting the battery into the device and pressing the power button I had the white screen again.
I tried
-- Power + "m"
and
-- Power + vol-down
But nothing showed any success.
Any idea?
Thank you
It seems like a hw problem. Software doesn't fix itself, but a bad connection can work sometimes. I'd take it to the service warranty.

Unfortunately there is no warranty available. Does it make sense to dismantle the droid, and check all the cables?
Thank you
P.S. You were right. I have put the motherboard into another droid and everything worked.
Is there any chance to change the cable between the screen and the mainboard?

Try 2 hold 8 seconds on power button, if this phone will reboot - it's software problem. Just flash a new firmware LT6 for ur phone.
If it does not work, try 2 disassemble ur phone, and watch area nearly power button. If it's damaged go 2 service.
My opinion plastic nearly power button area is damaged, or this is firmware trouble in UI.
Nothing happend after 8 sec's

I thought it was some software bug so I decide to restart phone by removing battery, but now I can't turn on my phone because power button still not working I wanted to enter to download mode to reboot phone, but download mode is not working too. I have tried to turn on phone without using power button (some battery/charger tricks) but its not working. I have no idea what else can I do? When I plug in USB cabel I can see battery level, but thats all. Any ideas? Please help, I need to turn on this phone till tommorow
