My Xperia Z power button isn't working. When It try to press it, nothing happens. I can't bring up the power off menu either. When I hold the volume up button, it automatically shuts down, indicating that the power button is supposedly in the pressed state at all times.
Any solution? I'm on a custom ROM, also any idea how much it would cost if I gave it to Sony for repairs? I don't want to pay a fortune.

sure, if the power button is always pressed and you hold volume up button you will shut off your phone and there are 3 vibrates, right^^
Ask in a repair center. you did it in 2 minutes and you know the costs.
Maybe if you know how to open your XZ you can repair it, but be carefully..
Plan to take it to service center next week, need the phone this week. Good thing I have doubletap2wake.

The power button on my csl mi410 is automatically responsing like displaying phone options on one press instead of long pressing. Sometime it locks phone automatically while using apps without pressing power button, sometime shows unlock screen continously for 4-5 times witout pressing power button. Sometime the power button doesnt response while pressing. Please someone guide me how can i overcome this issue and if its hardware issue please guide me how to freeze power button and use volume button as power button
Thanking you in anticipation.

This has happened to me once and I recall someone else on the forum also had that issue. Just turn off the phone by holding the power and volume up together. The power button should work as normal after that.

Seems a software bug. Happens to me sometimes too.

I had that problem today! I pressed power button + volume up and it worked!!!!! Don't worry it will work, just press it for 10 seconds!!!
Hi,
I have a Sony Xperia Z, the power button seems not working properly. May be i dropped the phone and broke some wire connection inside.
So when i press the power button, the button is not working everytime.
Is there way to wake up the phone (when the screen is black) by using the volume button?

No there is no other way,send it for a repair.
use the Q&A forum next time.
maybe installing a custom rom would let you unlock device with volume buttons.

^I'm pretty sure that's possible. Just head over to the Play Store and install "Anyunlock".
Although that's just a temporary workaround, so I'd suggest that you get it fixed soon!

I think my power button is broken. It's very hard to wake my phone with the power button. I have to press it with so much force to wake it.
Do you know how much does it cost when I bring it to the technicians? Thanks!

Probably, you are under warranty. So it costs nothing to the local lg service spot. For a temporary solution you can use a rom with volume button wake and a screen lock widget.
I was charging the phone. I picked it up to check something, unplugging it. I set it down. Came back to it a few minutes later, and.... it's dead. Completely. Tried holding power button a bunch of times for long stretches of time. Plugging it in gives no response--no light, no vibration. I had this happen once before but then it rebooted when I popped out the SIM card, and all was well again. This time, nothing.
Can anything be done?? Not sure what else to do/try.

Yes I tried that. Nothing. How long should I hold them?
Omg, holding power button + volume up worked!!

This is how it SHOULD be done. But it does not always help. My XZ1 compact once completely locked up while installing an update to the Android System Webview app. I could select a reboot in the menu but there it locked up forever. None of the key combinations worked. I ended up having to send it back under warranty to Amazon.de and their service partner repaired the device and flashed the factory image back.

Wish I had found that website in my Google searching lol. The results I was getting were for more generic Android steps. And I kept seeing people write power button + volume down. I did come across something written about holding power button + volume up which allows you to enter a menu to do factory reset... So then I tried that.
