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....

Download "Terminal Emulator" app from market
- open it
- type into the command:
su
echo -n ON > /efs/imei/keystr
sync
Go to home, force close your terminal app, shut your screen off, and when your turn it back on your lock screen should be there.
Obviously you must be rooted the "su" command.

thanx guys it worked..
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

If You Insert The Battery Charger Plug Whyle Holding The Center Button ... The Phone Will Turn On
I bricked my tablet after I tried to change my font using font installer by jrummy?
It asked me to restart for changes to occur so I figured if I restarted on my own it would work the same way so I hit cancel. I restarted about 1 minute after I hit cancel.
My tablet will boot up to the AT&T "Rethink possible" screen (after the animation).
It will get stuck there with a pattern of light vibrations between a couple seconds each.
Currently running the stock AT&T ics rom posted in the android dev section for i957.
I've tried to boot into recovery but the Samsung screen doesn't come up until I let go of the buttons therefore leading it to reboot again.
Also tried to go into the emergency download mode ( power, up, down) but it didn't work either.
I appreciate all and any advice, please and thank you!
My device is rooted if that wasn't already implied, I will provide any other details if needed, please help!!
Thanks again!
Are you sure you can't get into recovery mode? Hold power and volume up buttons, etc. Does Odin recognize the device?
Do you have a custom recovery, and if so which one, or is it stock.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I957 using xda app-developers app
keep trying to get into download mode or recovery. should be possible. the font change will not affect recovery.
I was also performing a backup with titanium backup when I restarted does that make a difference?
I have clockwork mod recovery.
From experience, I can only go into recovery if the Samsung logo pops up for a milli second and I let go.
I actually haven't tried to see if Odin recognizes my device but I assumed if I couldn't go into download mode it wouldn't.

Were you restoring apps from a honeycomb Rom? That will cause a soft brick.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
If you can get into recovery do a factory reset. That should get you out of a soft brick. You'll have to re-install your apps though.

Didnt see if you worked your way out of this or not. You may have to hold 3 finger salute (power, up, down) for up to 16 seconds. My guess is that covers the 8 seconds to reboot through any hang up plus up to 8 more to boot to menu.
Still no luck, the computer is not detecting my tablet.
I also wasn't restoring, I was just backing up my data. I'm letting it charge for now, anyone know what else I should do?
I really can't enter recovery OR download.
**** UPDATE****
Okay guys I finally fixed it. Will post details if anyone is still interested.
I'd be interested in the details.

How did you do?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I957 using xda app-developers app
I couldn't go into download mode until I did some weird trick with the buttons.
I had to hold the 3 buttons ( power, vol up, vol down) for a couple seconds.. like 6 seconds
THEN hold power and vol up for 2 secs
THEN back to power, vol up, vol down.
I did it by accident cuz I was frustrated but it ended up working so all is good
Thanks for all the help guys!!
I am in the Same Boat!

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 installing this "advanced power menu": http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715107
Same problem here, I reported it to the dev, also tried "advanced power menu" module but it did nothing. So I re-flashed it and everything work well. Strange bug though...Actually on my phone when I hold the power button it launched the boot animation then crashed in the middle of it before restarting again. :rolleye:
