[Q] Z1 power button problem - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
Iv had my Xperia x1 about a year now. The phone works fine. The only issues I've had are that the speaker grill on the bottom and the silver ring around the power button fell off. However these were not major problems for me as I don't use the waterproof features of the phone so I've left them as is.
However today my power button has been playing up. If I touch the button, without pressing it, the button acts as if it's been pressed and locks the phone. If I keep my finger on it the phone turns on. The button works fine while pressing it too and the phone is working perfectly fine aswell. It's just this touchscreen button issue. Iv Googled it and most power button problems for the z1 seem to be related to it not working etc however mine works fine.. It works too well actually.
I was thinking maybe the part is loose and needs replacing.
Would replacing the power button fix this and does anybody have any idea what's going on /what I should do?
Thanks

Uber Sensitive Power Button?

My power button on my Kaiser is ridiculously sensitive. I barely touch it and it turns the screen off. It started doing this after I flashed to a rom on here. I've flashed many times before that and never had a problem. Is there's a registry setting or some system setting that can make the power button less sensitive?
It doesn't sound like software issue to me. I mean, button has mechanical contacts that need to be pressed, even if you do not have the ROM on the pda, it will work with the same sensitivity. Try maybe it got stuck almost pressed or something.
Any dust/dirt blocking its proper function? Maybe worth opening up the case for a look.
I opened the back cover and blew it out. I noticed that when I press the button harder, it doesnt do it sometimes. I've been pressing it firmly all day and it seems to have worked, so like mentioned before, there was probably some dust in there. Thanks guys.

Xperia X1 Power button

Hi,
I've got a serious problem, my Power button has fall apart from mainboard:
For some time I was using 2 wires to power and wake this phone (soldiering marks).
I'm searching now for something to replace it and make it work as before. I'm left of ideas.
Can you help?

Power Button Seems "stuck" on?

No problems with my Serendipity 7 ROM aside from a few occasional crashes/freezes, on my i897... but then last night, out of no where, my screen wasn't coming on. I thought it had froze again, so I did the Vol up/down+power reboot.
Came back up, then when I tried to turn the screen on again, it wasn't working. I put the cable in for power/USB, and the screen came up no problem. I thought maybe the power button wasn't working, but it reboots with all three buttons down... not sure why. Then I tested just holding the two Vol buttons and no power, but it still rebooted...
Looks like the power button is acting stuck down even though I can clearly hear the button working. Ideas?
Mobile tech videos has a fairly affordable power button replacement service.
sent mine you him, got it back in perfectly working order within a week.

Power button not working

Anybody having problems with the power button not working?
It doesn't work at all no matter how hard I push. At times it works without issue, other times I have to use the camera button to wake my phone.
Anyone else with this?

Did you both ever opened the phone, maybe for repair or the.prevoius owner? Maybe check the "outside" when opening phone (and removing LCD) many times the button flex cable gets damaged or get a small crack so it stop working after some time... The button flex is mounted very easily, maybe just need to get it back right into position and make sure it holds the contacts. The whole flex is just 6euro, repairing easy.. Just follow "ifixit"

I had a problem with the power button on my phone recently. It was off, just like you describe, guys.
But the combination: power button + vol UP, to force a reboot of the phone worked and after booting, the button was working and the problem never occurred again.

[Q] Power button and volume buttons unresponsive?

My rooted Sony Xperia Z1S has recently picked up a new quirk. It seems to be random when it happens, but the volume buttons and power button suddenly will refuse to respond. The rest of the device is fine, it's not frozen or anything, it simply acts as if I'm not pressing those buttons at all.
Further more, the buttons apparently are fine..? I say this because when pressing and holding power and volume up, the device performs a hard reset. So, THIS it registers. After a reset, it's fine until the next time it decides to act up.
I can have workarounds to this, considering it's rooted, but I'm mainly curious as to why it's doing this, and if there's a way to actually fix this. It uses the stock rom on 4.3.
