Power button not locking screen / causing instant reset - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all
Using official 4.1.2 with Philz kernel only other change is a new battery. Rooted.
Power button sometimes wont lock the phone - goes straight to reset / shutdown options. A few seconds later the phone will restart.
Before I perform a factory reset, can anyone suggest why it might be doing this?
Thanks on advance.

[Q] Anyone know why my note is rebooting?

Just received my phone today and it was okay for a while and now it just reboots it self.
Try do the hard reset first. Turn off, press volume up + menu button + power button together. Follow the instructions from there.

It is rebooting quicker than I can factory reset it.

When you have a sd-card installed:
... try to turn it off and remove the sd-card, wait for about 3 minutes and boot again. There is a little change, that you run into a bootloop:
a) depending on too many apps installed on the sd-card
or
b) that your sd-card gets to hot, so the system reboots by itself

Galaxy ace boot issue

OK guys, long story short my mates galaxy ace won't boot up, randomly turned off one day and booted to recovery, power button doesn't work so can't select reboot, my theory is power button is stuck in? It also has a message about csc error which is new to me.
If I flash stock rom through odin, it should reboot automatically right? However can I change the startup button because if the phone turns off it won't boot again unless I flash again through Odin which is a pain. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advanced guys

if u still have your warranty, you can get it to a service center... they would fix the power button..
My friend bought the phone off a private seller so no such warranty :/ thanks for the reply however

Adb commands but it's really risky. I wouldn't try to flash with a broken power button.

Switch off your phone, boot into recovery mode by pressing Vol up+home+power button together.
Once you are in recovery mode, navigate via vol up/down keys to the option factory reset.select by using power button.
That should solve your problem..

Try flashing a more stable version of jellybean like xxlq4(works like a charm for me..consider going for this version) or xxlqb..these have minimal bugs, so that might help..remember to do a factory reset after flashing..

Weird Reboot + Power Button problem

I tried to find similar threads but didn't find something related to the problem I have, So here we go:
My GSM and I were having a happy life using [CM7.2][MiniScape v1.6] without problems. One day I decided to flash the Lewa lite MultiLanguage and everything changed.. At first boot the phone was normal, fast and without problems but then, Wild reboots appeared for unknown reason. After some hours thinking, I figured out that it was the Power Button.
When I press the power button (normal press) it doesn't lock & turn off the screen, but appears the power menu and after a few seconds: the phone gets a reboot. If the phone is off and I connect the charger, the charge animation appears for a few secs and then the phone boot normally (like if I wanted to turn it on).
I did the following:
Wiped data/cache in CWM and flashed back the [CM7.2][MiniScape v1.6] but the problem persisted.
Wiped again And Then formated data, cache, system partition and flashed [CM7.2][MiniScape v1.6] again but I were having the same problem
I haven't used ODIN yet because I want to know why is this happening. If the power button were hard pressed or something, the phone would turn on whenever the phone is off with battery, right?
What is your opinion about this?
It looks like the button is stuck.

I was going to do that.. But magically the problem disappeared.. I did wipe and format the partitions again and flashed the rom normally, and The problem with the button was fixed.. I also tried installing the Lewa Multilenguage and worked without problems.. The phone works fine now (and If the problem were still there, I would have used the lock & power off statusbar buttons). But I'm really curious about this.. I mean, what could have happened? It seems to be a software issue..(?)
I had EXACTLY the same problem.Its not hardware.It can not be hardware.Life mysteris....
