I was using Viper Vivo ROM from sometime, it worked flawlessly. But yesterday my battery died out, after which I am not able to boot properly. It Vibrates when I power ON, but no back-light. So I tried to go in boot-loader (No Back-light), then I pressed Vol-DN then power and strangely the backlight came and I am able to use recovery (4EXT) properly. It seemed like software issue to me, so I tried wiping data and cache and installing different ROMs (Android Revolution HD 5.3 then Stock "vivo_signed_WWE_4.14.405.2_ICS_SENSE36_1.zip") but its the same issue.
Could any one please help me with this.

I tried the same several times, but no luck. Recovery works fine, nothing else has back-light (not even in Boot-Loader).

This will not work as it is addressing the button backlight, whereas the OP does not have a screen backlight.
Press "thanks" if I helped you out!
You are right LamboBull.. The screen backlight itself is not coming except in recovery.
Could there be a problem in Bootloader?

Im thinking it might be hardware related.. Did you screw around with anything prior to the backlight not responding?
Press "thanks" if I helped you out!
Nah.. Didn't do anything with the hardware.
But what could be possibly wrong with hardware? Display and Touch both are working fine in recovery.

-_- there's a difference between cranking up the brightness and not being able to see anything at all on the screen (in other words, completely black screen as if the phone was off).
Just a question but do the key backlights work?? Like, a lot of the ROMs come with default vibration for the keys. If you do feel your phone vibrate, then it might be the screen display or recovery maybe??
Im assuming you can boot up past splashscreen...

FYI , I have met such problems with a rom before (I forget what rom it is ) . I thought my backlight was dead . But then I turn the display brightness up , it came back alive . So I'm just guessing if its gonna work .

Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda premium
I am not even able to see HTC logo, it just vibrates. And when I go to boot loader i.e Vol DN+Power (No Back light) and press volume down once then power button once then I get to recovery and the back light turns on.
Also KEY backlight works only in recovery nowhere else.
I guess this clears the issue which I am facing.
I tried at some repairing shops but even they don't have any clue.
Any other suggestions are appreciated.

What is Force Restart?
When phones is not responding and hanged up, most of users pull battery out and start their phone up. This action cause serious damages to eMMC Chip. So, most of smartphone manufacturer include a key combination to do force restart in their product.
How:
Volume Down + Volume Up + Power for few sec.
My Test: On Icecoldsandwitch 7.2, Cyanogen 7.1 and Virtuous Quattro RC3 custom roms
You can also test on your phone; test it and replay your result with roms' names
I'm very interested to know how it works on Official rom
good to know - im one of the battery pulling majority and as a result the indent on the case where you put your nail in to prise the case off has become quite rough with the black plastic coming off!
wish i'd known this 14 months ago!

Playgound ICS, newest version. And it is a hard freeze. Even the charging light remains on, until battery literally runs out or gets removed. No button (soft or hardware) is responding to anything.
Tested on Virtuous Quattro RC3 , works successfully even in hanging

That's odd... you would think that during a hang when all digitized buttons and soft buttons were unresponsive that this would not work.

Yes, It will, let me give you an example, It's not perfect one but it's similar situation. when your computer does not respond, you hold the power button and computer turning off, or in laptops when your system is hanged up are you holding power button or pull your laptop's battery?
ofcourse we cannot compare smartphones with computer systems but what should you do if - for example - htc one s hanged up? (soft freeze) you can't pull battery out
so according to my tests, in soft freeze situation, you can force restart

When my phone is freezing I give it a blanket... if that doesn't work I throw it in the sauna.
Anyway, I've to pull the battery if it hangs since no buttons/keys are working.
No, it doesn't work to hold volume up/down+power.
Yea, I've tried. Like each time it happens just in case it might work once.
Can't think of any other answers I might get to answer

according to other froum users, Force Restart fully worked in UI hanging, the order is V down + V up + Power for 6 sec.

Sometimes this method does not work. Sometimes my phone freezes, and does not respond to anything. In these cases I recommend an adb reboot or something

Yeah, That is Hard Freeze, caused by memory dump, chipset shock, and etc. But in Soft Freeze, UI is not responding, application lock, games, and etc. this method works perfectly

Looks like a good link, but he's not rooted and this guide is for root access modification.
But I think that rooting would be the best solution to get what the OP is after.
Mine is half death, and hopefully not about to death.
Seriously though, if you're not going to claim warranty to get it fixed (I did) root it and get vol wake and sweep to wake/sleep. I've set mine to do both and I don't have to use the power button unless rebooting
ok. here the dumbest question: how can i root it?

Yeah my power button died 2 months ago. Root and install venom. It's the only Rom with both vol wake and vol sleep.
If somebody knows how I could make all roms have vol sleep that's be great lol.

Some custom ROMS have tweak, which allows you to wake by volume buttons
you'd better root your IS or replace a power butern
you can use Go locker
i tried CPR but its of no use .. its almost dead :silly:
I don't know if it's a problem or not but even if my screen off, when I long press on the power boutton (perhaps 6 or 8 seconds) my phone reboot. So sometimes, in my pocket, it reboots. It is normal? If yes, any way to change this feature? I'm rooted and I've rXtrem rom V3.0 on Stock Kernel.

read the title. It's the power button he's talking about, not the home button.
It doesn't depend on the ROM, it'll be like that even if you have no ROM installed.
I've changed for Pandoriam ROM and it's the same "problem". I've not see you was talking about the home button, it's the power button i'm talking about. Son anyone can make somethnig with a little flash for exemple?......

The power button isen't working anymore. I have to use my fingernail to press the very right edge soooo far in the phone just to get it to work. Has anyone tried to repair it yourself? Or is it not worth it? The res of the phone is still in great working condition, screen is still new, plastic shows signs of wear around the edges and corners. Its a heck of a phone!
Repair or sell used for parts?
If you are on a Cyanogenmod Rom, there is an option to turn on the screen using the volume rocker keys, which might help you. If you are on another ROM, than I'm not sure what else I can suggest. Good luck.

Hello guy im facing a trouble!
My Galaxy Mini S5570 is having issues with 2 buttons:
- 1st is: The Power On/Off is not working, the phone turn on itself alone (when removed the battery).
- 2nd is: The Volume Up is very sensible like touch screen, you need to be careful when you use the phone because if u don't u accidently touch (not press) the Volume key then the volume up alone.
And another trouble (result of button issue) is:
When my phone power up (itself) sometimes this screen appears
(see attachment)
Maybe fixing the buttons this error disappear?
And what i have to do!? Please help guys i'm getting crazy with this phone
EDIT: i already flashed another stock rom, downgraded to 2.3.4, used custom rom and nothing, is really hardware problem.
Thanks guys!
