Hi everyone, I just received an HTC One for Verizon. Whenever the phone goes to sleep, and I try to turn it back on, the phone wont turn on. When I hold down on the power button for 5-7 sec the screen turns on and the phone asks me if I want to restart or shut off my phone. Has anyone had this issue? Is this a sensor issue? The phone should turn on with a simple press to the power button correct? Any remedy will be much appreciated! Thanks!

Do you have "SETTINGS -> POWER -> Fast boot" enabled by any chance? Try disabling that; this "Fast boot" in settings just makes your phone hibernate.
Could very well be something else, but might worth checking out.

Hi.
Any ideas on how to get the "hold to boot" function back after unlocking a Nexus One?
It's really annoying, that the phone boots by just touching the power button.
If I'm not sure, my phone is off, the only way to check it is by pressing the power button once to get the screen to go on. But if it's off, it starts booting.
Thread moved in Nexus One Q&A.
I know it's not what you've asked for, but one way around it would be to use CPUStatusLED. That way if the LED is not ON, you know the phone is OFF
Um... even stock there's no "hold to boot" function. Simply tapping the power button will turn it on.

Actually, you're wrong. A stock, non-rooted, "locked" one requires you to hold the power button for a while to boot. It's when you unlock the phone with fastboot "oem unlock" when it changes.

Does it eat up battery too much?
Dunno about yours but when it was stock, mine just turned on pushing the power button
A workaround could be, enabling your phone to wake using the trackball. You could check that way

This was how YOURS behaved, or you know this for a fact? I know my N1 starts up with just a press.
I rarely turn it off, however....

The reason I always press the power button, is because I got used to confirm the phone was off, prior rooting. I bought a non carrier one, maybe the carrier versions are different.
I tried the trackball method, but I keep pressing it accidentally on my pocket.
I'm tring the CPU LED one now.
But I would actually prefer one, that just blinks a blue light every few seconds.
Has anyone created one to do that?
Oh, and thanks for the suggestions.

Well, mine did. As well as my old ADP1 did prior rooting.
Mine never worked like that when it was stock and locked. One single, fast press and it booted.
CPU statusled is probably a good solution, or just trackball wake.
Well mine was unlocked as soon as i removed it from the charger, but i dont remember longpressing. Anw, i will have to agree with trackball wake

So recently, my Nexus One's LCD cracked while playing cricket.. BOHOO! So I took it to the repair shop, and he fixed my LCD. YAYY! But the repair guy messed up my power on button. Before it used to be so soft and easy to turn on, but now it only turns on if i press it on a certain spot, which is very ANNOYING! I took it back to him and he didn't really fix anything. I just want to ask you if you know any easy solution to this. No, not the trackball wake. Like would it be easy for me to open my phone up and repair the button myself? Or do you think i'm out of luck?
Thank you

well, sadly; my power button has given up finally.
Can anyone help me out by telling me how i'm supposed to turn my phone off completely. I'm using an app which allows me to turn my screen off and lock the phone, but is there one to provide me options for powering off and booting into recovery, bootloader etc? It's essential because i need to be able to turn my phone off to switch my battery packs, and to install new firmwares. Thanks.
Most importantly, how would i turn on my phone when it's completely turned off, since the power button wouldn't do any good
Try "Quick Boot" to switch 4-ways reboot function.
To turn on your N1, simply connect it to charger, whether it is wall, usb, or powerbank one. When the led lights up, pull your battery. As soon as the led down, insert your battery immediately.
My N1 has been "happily" running that way for months.

My power button is on the fritz now too. Is there someone who fixes this? Can I make a insurance claim?
I switched on extreme power saving mode because I only had 6 percent battery life left and didn't have access to an outlet. Now that I do have it charging, it wont let me disable it. When I click exit it just says Please Wait (been like that for about 20 minutes). Any idea how to fix this?
I am completely stock and unrooted
I've tried shutting down and restarting

Only way i can think of is to reboot to bootloader and factory reset. Plug it in your computer to see if you can save your pics and stuff. If you went to a sprint store that is what they would do.
To get into bootloader power off device hold volume down and the power button. Click hboot then factory reset. That should do it.

Thanks for the response. After about an hour of trying any and everything to get it working I was able to find a way into the power save settings and disable it from there. Not really sure what happened

I was able to get mine greyed out by going into Developer Options and checking the High Performance Mode option. Maybe yours is checked?

How did you get into the power save settings? I wasn't able to when I was stuck in extreme power save mode.

I went to phone, then the menu button, settings, then click the back button on the top right and it will take you into the System Settings

Same thing happened to me I called HTC and we got it into safe mode and when I hit the home button extreme power saving mode pooped up as a homescreen/launcher along with blink feed and nova so I selected nova and no more issues

I'm having the same issue, it's been over an hour stuck like this. I went in through the phone to settings down to the High Performance Mode and nothing. I tried Safe Mode, nothing. I went into the power settings through system settings and the extreme mode was grayed out as well. I can't do anything to get it working.
Any other ideas? HTC had no idea what I was talking about and told me to take it back to Sprint.

This thread saved my life! I hope this gets to HTC and this bug is fixed! It apparently has something to do with the extreme power saving mode replaceing your home screen, and not being able to find and set the defult home screen back be it blink feed, or google now launcher ect.
Get the lastest software update to permanently fix this problem
I also ran into this problem, and was able to fix it permanently by updating the HTC software with the latest Sprint update. I got there by getting into the general setting by back-spacing while in the phone setting (it won't work for other settings). Now when in EPSM window the exit button works as intended (albeit a bit slowly)

I turn the extreme power safe mode on every night when I go to bed, and disable it the next morning. I had been doing it without a problem for 2 months and this morning had this problem as well. And the funny thing is, BlinkFeed is not my home screen. Reboot, nothing. Forced reboot, nothing. Anyways, toggling the extreme power safe mode on and then off did the trick for me as well.

Hey guys, could anyone shed some light on what's wrong with my phone?
The initial problem was that it would display a notice that the phone was going to restart, the phone would turn off but not reboot.
When trying to turn the phone on immediately afterwards, it wouldn't turn on. The first thing I tried was seeing if that battery was dead but even when I plugged it in, it still wouldn't turn on nor was the charging light on.
After leaving it for a while, I tried a hard reset but the phone would turn off after 2 seconds in the boot menu. After a few hours and a lot of expended patience, I got the hard reset done and it worked flawlessly for around 30 minutes then turned off again.
Right now, when I turn it on, it shows the HTC screen, the backlight for the icons at the bottom flashes around 10 times and it turns off.
Any idea what's wrong?

Kinda sounds like your power button may be sticking in. Is the device bootloader unlocked and rooted? Or still stock?

The phone has been unlocked to be used with SIMs other than from AT&T but it hasn't been bootloader unlocked or rooted.

Ok I would recommend you check warranty to see if it is still covered. To try a software solution will mean unlocking the bootloader which will void warranty. And may not fix the problem. As I say it seems like the power button is stuck in.
When the capacitive buttons flash like that it is because of a forced reboot by holding in the power button.
I tried to flash galaxy note 9 SM-N960F with stock firmware and I got the attached screen shot
I tried to use the emergency recovery function in Smart switch and I got an error message that the connected device is not supported .
Can someone please tell me what to do. I'm unable to leave this screen.
Try turning it off, then enter download mode by pressing the bixby and vol- button while connecting the cable
It will not turn off. It keeps going back to the error screen.
When I connected it to smart Switch on the PC I got an unsupported device message. This has been going on all day.
I can't turn it off. It has been on this screen all day.
Can someone please help me out. I know that there are phone gurus on XDA who can fix any problem.
Please tell me what to do. I am anxiously awaiting your assistance.
Thank you.

Got to ask.
Have you held the power button in for 30 seconds or longer? This has worked for me in the past when the phone wouldnt switch off or on.
Good luck anyway
I will try it again.
Thank you.
I tried it. Didn't turn off. I even held the power button down for more than one minute. Nothing happened.
Thank you for your help. God bless you. Well appreciated.

Maybe best to wait until the battery runs out and see if it boots into recovery then?
Ok. I was thinking about that.
Thanks again.
Hold power + volume down buttons to hard reset the phone. There's no need to wait until the battery dies.
hold volume down+bixby+power button, when phone reboots inserts usb cable and release only power key. Phone will go to download mode. i have done this before with my note 9.
