HELP urgent ! power button issue - LG Optimus Black

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

i didnt get the folded paper thingy..what size of paper and where exactly to put it ?
power button still works but after hard and long press on it manytimes..and Gkey is not always working
so all i need is something to wakeup screen whenever i want simply..thats it all im asking for :/

and im out of warranty now anyway

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

[Q] Somehow my loudspeaker keeps going out.

I have to tap/smack lightly on the back of the phone and it will come back in. I assume something has come loose. Is the connection easily accessible on the phone? Or am I going to have to get a different phone?
Pull the battery cover off and firmly press on the speaker assembly...

[Q] OB won't turn on.

Hello guys. My phone won't turn on, at all. Just black screen. I tried two different batteries, I tried to connect it to pc (I can't see s/w upgrade mode, so I can't reflash it), nothing happening. I was running CyanogenMod7 RC, and I just turned off my phone (holding power button, and selected power off). Please help.
Sorry to hear that but you know it happened the same thing to me. Using it at midnight, turning it off and charging and 10 hours later it couldn't react to anything. I sent it to repair and 3 weeks later LG sent it back : they say that motherboard was dead and they change it.

Really? Damn. My phone was rooted, and I am not sure do I still have warranthy. How much will it cost in the service center to repair it?
Hum... it cost me nothing (since the phone couldn't turn on they couldn't see that the phone was not with stock rom lol) because it was on warranty. But the 3 weeks waiting was toooo long lol.
EDIT : But try again to turn in on, I tried everything during more than a day, to be sure. ;-)

So is this really motherboard? Cuz I didn't do anything, just turned it off. Damn you LG.

I already tried; No luck. It just look like a piece of metal, no reaction at all. I tried two different batteries, but as far as I remember P970 can work even without batteries when it's connected to the charger.
Yeah I didn't understand why mine died also. Just charging after turning it off. But this new one seems to not have any problem... for now. What really pissed me off were the 3 weeks waiting for it. I hope you'll don't have to wait that long.

And yeah BTW I don't know if this matter, but I did partiotion from Recovery Menu, and used swapper before this happened.
Ok, now I know what the problem was. It's all swapper 2 fault. Somehow it managed to destroy boot sector. Oh well, it's also my fault, shoud've do appropriete reading before using this app. And why did I even need SWAP in the first place? Hello service center...

Optimus black soft keys random clicks

My phone is now unusable, once you turn it on the soft keys will light up on their own, any idea how to fix? It will randomly click home button and will exit everything you're doing.
Could it be my screen digitizer? I'm running the ics leak.

[Q] My lg 4x hd soaking wet come back to life with a problem

Hello everyone , i'm watching your site for long time. You are doing great job. Anyway , my phone gets soaking wet. After one week i press the power button to open my phone.Everything works perfect except home button,back button and properties button are light up all the time , even when the phone is off. I put some pictures to see what's going on . I hope you have a solution , thank you in advance(sorry for my english)
Once they turn off when you disable them in settings, might be a software problem. You tried to flash it with other version? The problem remains?

Thank you for your response. The only the thing I did it's factory data reset, and but the problem still there.

If I well understood, it got wet... try to take out the battery and leave it open under the sunlight time enough to be dry for sure. Unless you want to open it...
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
You should open you phone and make sure there is no water left in side.I suggest you take your phone to a repair service.They'll know what to do. I once dropped my phone into water and tried to fix it myself. The result is the 3G ,GPS didn't work anymore and after about a month, the phone died
thank you guys for your answers . I let my phone to dry well and it seen to be okay.

Should home and back be illuminated ?

My home and my back arent illuminated I'm sure they were when I got the phone
Reviews show them lit .. before I ring 3 for a replacement I want to check
Thanks

cover the 2 sensors on the top left with a piece of folded paper or something, do they light up?
Ah yes .. I'm sat under a bright light doooh thank you
Thought my home and back was faulty . It sometimes is less responsive than other times (double tap to get multi apps ) but I'm presuming that's a software glitch
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Others are reporting issues with the buttons sometimes not responding, not sure if it's a software glitch, or just a small footprint for the buttons, ie you have to press right on the button and not in the general area if you know what i mean.
Cool I'll relax then and stop worrying my phone is faulty. Big thanks

I would monitor how you go with pressing the buttons, it may be a glitch, but i know when i'm using mine, i am often off the button when i press it, being used to the One X for the last year, the buttons are further to the edge, so automatically i have been pressing further out than the actual buttons are.
I always turn mine off. Just saying lol

The capacitive area is in fact VERY small. Just barely bigger than the Home and Back icons themselves. Precision touch is required and is why I suspect some think its not responsive

How do you turn them off ?
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
I use an app called keyboard backlights from play. Works great but recently in occasions they come on anyway. They are off 80% of the time though. Can only do if your rooted btw

Try this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39498430&postcount=7
Seems that the One has very small area of touch for buttons, so probably not software problem.
Turn on vibrate and you will realise how small of an area we have .. seems the way it's been designed and not a bug . Vibrate assists because you know when your missing now don't have the issue
