Take it to a repair shop. Or attempt them yourself. Disassemble and put thin cardboard between the power button and the actual onboard power

Sorry for pushing this old thread but my xt894 power button stopped working. The power button had problems for months: I had to press the power button dozens of times to get the phone botting (after booting the power button worked fine to wake up the phone).
I already diassembled the case but even the "blank" power button does not work anymore. Any ideas or experience with this problem here?

[Q] HD7 Power Button

Been using HTC phones and we all know the power button is an important hardware.
I was thinking can we RE-ROUTE the power button to other buttons, since hitting just the power button makes me feel pain and seeing it flattened day by day...
for my previous touch pro i use registry to re-route succesfully. i wonder some geniuses here can do the same job.... please anybody
I would also be interested in this if at all possible.
Singularity0821 made a "restart phone app" : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1333740
...with right argue you could convince him to add a shut down option...
out of curiosity...why you guys restarting your phone in the first place? Last time i restarted my phone was almost 1.25 months ago. Then recently when the HTC update was pushed out. besides that..i havent really had the need to hit the power button. How often do you guys power cycle your phone and why? issues? habit? Just curious..
lol , yes we are the crazy maniac phone restarter
It's useful when you want to apply reg hacks...
Also power button is crucial to reach all usb profils...
and clearly my hd7 power button is getting weaker too http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359132
A restart app is one thing, which makes it a bit easier to not having to use the power button for that.
But I too am "suffering" from that power button issue and honestly.. you use the power button to not only restart the phone but also to wake it up and unlock it.
Now if the power button could be relocated (even if there has to be software for it) this would be really nice before my power button entirely dies!

totally right there. We had enough pain of this!!
Reroute to the volumes button n camera button,or maybe an app that can shake in a specific way to wake the phone.
Registry setting that can re-route the wake phone button?

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?

[PROBLEM] Broken Power Button. Need Fix.

As the title says, my Note started acting up weird. I could barely power the screen on, and sometimes when I wanted to power it off it'd get stuck and reboot ( because the button gets stuck for a long time, thus reboots the phone) and opening the power menu's.
I only have to touch the power button VERY lightly to activate it.
My temporary solve is to wake the phone with volume rockers and I've installed an app to power it off. But if I ever need to reboot the phone or just simply boot it up, I'm gonna have a problem. Same with getting in recovery.
Is this fixable in some store, or even by doing it yourself?
Thanks for reading.
seems of a physical damage issue. take it to a service and check what they say
the switch is replaceable or u could remap the power button to the home button that is what I did with same problem
SEARCH ....so easy a caveman can do it

Is it hard to replace by yourself? I already saw they sold it in a shop nearby for €20,- so that's not too bad.
Could you easily do it yourself? Then I'll order it and try that.
watch some videos about anatomy of note on you tube and decide yourself
you have to remove the board witch is not hard but then you have to unsolder the little switch and solder in the new switch so if you are comfortable with soldering then it is not that

Power button not working

Anybody having problems with the power button not working?
It doesn't work at all no matter how hard I push. At times it works without issue, other times I have to use the camera button to wake my phone.
Anyone else with this?
Defective unit.

Did you both ever opened the phone, maybe for repair or the.prevoius owner? Maybe check the "outside" when opening phone (and removing LCD) many times the button flex cable gets damaged or get a small crack so it stop working after some time... The button flex is mounted very easily, maybe just need to get it back right into position and make sure it holds the contacts. The whole flex is just 6euro, repairing easy.. Just follow "ifixit"
✌
I had a problem with the power button on my phone recently. It was off, just like you describe, guys.
But the combination: power button + vol UP, to force a reboot of the phone worked and after booting, the button was working and the problem never occurred again.
