Hi ..
ran into a strange problem .. My XZ was working perfectly fine up to yesterday afternoon when I was travelling and had to ran the battery down.. after that, I cannot use my power button at all ..
strangely, part of the functionality seems to move to the volume up button : turn on phone/screen, shutdown menu even in recovery mode, I select using my volume up. the only thing that the volume up didn't do is to turn off / lock screen.
also, now I cannot power-down my phone. Even when I choose power-down in the shutdown menu, it does a reboot.
right now I'm using the double-tap function for screen turn-on/off.
I'm using CM11 nightly and Thomas's KMA kernel. I don't think it's a ROM+Kernel issue because it was working fine. Never dip the phone into water or take into shower but maybe yesterday it's a bit damp (was raining a bit).
any idea ?

Try more ROMs. If not helped so the power button looks water damaged or broken.

This same thing happened to mine. Sadly, a handful of roms later I am positive its the button itself. It works sometimes but not all the time. Having the option to set unlock to the volume rockers has been a lifesaver in CM.
Let us know what you find out.
using volume up is a temp fix, i did it also, had no other way, and using the tap tap app also works, what bothers me is, when phone shuts it self down, wich it does a lot all my android phones from stock have done that, the sporadically shut down thingie...how will i turn it on having no power button ?
Okay Guys, I need some help overhere.
Yesterday I flashed ParanoidAndroid to my xperia T, everything working wonderfull and I made nice new clean backup in the recovery. Today I played with it a little more, added some apps from the market and browsed thrue some pages (on this forum actually). Suddenly the screen wasn't responding anymore, so I just tried to shut the phone down.
But now it is frozen with the screen alight, with shutdown menu up front. And not only does the screen not respond to anything (including the selection of shutdown, restart etc), also the buttons on the side give no respons anymore...
NOrmally I would simply remove the battery for a good reset, but duh... not possible with the Xperia T.
What to do?

Did you try to hold power button and volume up button simultaneously for 3 or 5 or 10 sec.?
This will restart your phone, like removed the battery.

Hmmm, I tried different combo's cause I expected it to be something like that. In the end I tried volume up AND volume down AND power for several seconds (who guessed).
This did the trick... I must say, it was quite annoying but is solved.
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!

hi guys, im having a problem, have had the htc one for 2-3 weeks now and only got round to modding today, i wanted to install android revolution hd, having used it on previous htc phones i have used, although my last was over a year ago. So everything i have done today is based on the stock 4.2.2 rom. I have gained h-off through htcdev.com and have installed superuser and unchecked fastboot in the power settings. my issue is with touch recovery, i initially tried clockwork mod but when getting to the installing the rom the touch functionality did not work but through cwm i was able to use the volume buttons and power to exit in order to reboot the phone, i then installed twrp recovery, booted into recovery and stuck at the main screen, this recovery appears to be 100% touch so I am stuck at the main screen of recovery, i have tried rebooting by holding the power button for 10+ seconds but the back and home buttons just flash and the phone does not reboot, when the screen turns off and back on i have a lock symbol and it says swipe to unlock which wont work. my phones battery is at 94% and the only think i can think off is allowing the phone to drain completely and then it will boot as normal to continue trying to flash, but being in recovery it could take 4-5 days atleast for that to happen and when it does eventually drain i will be in the same position of being unable to use touch recovery (i also tried cwm without touch but the android revolution hd installer is still touch operated which also does not work.)
please help
put your phone under a bright light while holding power + volume down for about 30 seconds. it'll reboot

Yes it works. POWER + VOLDOWN (under a bright light or flashlight): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2484462&page=2
FIX!
You must hold the phones ambient sensor under direct light (1 cm under a bulb), whilst doing this, continually hold the power + volume down button until the phone reboots, this may take up to 2 minutes, don't give up! This method worked for me. :angel:

FYI : Using the flashlight indoors didn't seem to work coz the room was probably dim-lit. Thanks again guys

Hi everyone I've got a big problem with my wife's Mi 5. After some minutes/hours of usage the touchscreen stops working and the only solution the make it work again is to reboot the phone (by keeping the power off button pressed).
I've tried some rom (MIUI stable, MIUI dev, Paranoid Android 7.3.0) but all of them have the same problem, someone has got the same issue?
I think it's not only an hardware problem because the touchscreen works most of the time... Any ideas?
I'm having the exact same problem with my wife's Mi5 too. I thought she was talking rubbish until I started using the phone full time over the past few weeks.
Symptoms:
Screen switches on and accepts one touch event.
Screen is then unresponsive to touch events.
All other buttons (home, power, volume) all work OK.
All functions work OK (calling, SMS, etc) via remote control (MyPhoneExplorer)
Screen then becomes responsive again after reboot
Tried so far:
Clearing dalvik/cache
Clean flash - using MiFlash and China dev ROM
Opened phone, cleaned all ZIF connections and reconnected.
It almost feels like something in the touch firmware or driver crashes and does not reconnect - as the phone is clearly usable save for the touch panel.
I'm going to ask Bruno/bgcngm and see if there's anything I can do to try and diagnose the issue.

In my case unresponsive screen to touch events, all phisical button works and the only option to make it works again is to reboot. I didn't try to use it with some "remote" control.

I didn't try to open the phone, but I installed all roms with TWRP and format data/wipe cache/dalvik before.

I also think that it's related with a software issue...

Well on my old mi4c i had similar problem. I mean sometimes when i pressed power button and tried to unlock it screen didn't work. For me solution was simply to press power button again to turn off screen and then turn IT on. Maybe this will help u. Have u try that ?

Do you think it's something related with Doze or standby? I think so because today (and yesterday and so on...) I wasn't able to turn off the wake up alarm (the phone was in standby with the screen off all night) with "the screen" but I have to force restart the phone with the button... and it's very annoying.
Maybe we can try with some Marshmallow ROM instead Nougat one.

I'm facing same issue.I've changed my display panels but it doesn't solve my problem.it is quite painfull.i don't know what should i do.
any update sir?
My MI 5 has a different issue. There is no response if I place the phone on the table, but it is fine if I held it. It seems the touch panel is only responsive when the sort of sensors that a human is holding the phone. I have no idea why it starts to happen in these weeks. This symptom happens even in TWRP, so I don't think it is related some particular ROM. Tried firmware 7.7.6 ~ 7.9.22 with no luck.
skip lock screen
Hi
I know I am late to the party, but just faced the same issue yesterday. To bypass the issue, follow the following steps
1. Restart your phone .
2. Enable developer options from about section in settings. (google enable developer options for specifics)
3. In developer options, there is an option to skip screen lock. Enable that.
4. Voila!!
Hope it will help other mi5 users..
Hi,
I had the same problem. I found this video and I tried to fix it. It worked pretty well. Bye
In a situation that I can't do any service for my Mi5 as of now - is this really loose cable thing ?
Can more folks confirm that this cable solution from above video works ?
exactly same symtoms :
Random screen freeze - only option is to reboot phone or phone goes rebooting randomly itself.
