On my s4 i used to to hold the power button for 5 seconds or so and it would reboot. Did they ditch that feature or did i loose it somehow?
volume down + power for about 10 seconds
Works like charm?
On mine I just hit the restart button:

Yes restart works but it very usefull to have a long press for restart. For example when the devise freezes or when in download mode or when you are manually restarting recovery with the volume up buttons and you didn't press the button in time. So intead of waiting for a full reboot you can restart in the middle of a reboot.
This is the closest I could find on the intraweb:

I'll look into it.

Battery pulls and booting into recovery or download mode have saved me every time.

Hello guys,
A few weeks ago I bought a p990. Everything is ok I enjoy the phone ( CM 7.2 rooted ) however the power button doesn't work perfectly . I have to tap it on the left side of button ( stronger than usually ). Do you know what should I do ? Can I change a ' wake up ' button for another ?
PS. i dont have warranty.
Please give me an advice.

HI, you can change a "wake up" button for another in settings-display and check "Volume rocker wake". You can after wake up screen with vol+/- button. :cyclops:
Try CM10... It's the best and the last night today's version is really stable and ****ing smooth...:laugh:

If you want stay on CM7 try reinstall your ROM and in CWM make Dalvik Cache and Format your phone. You will have clear phone and everything should be allright... Don't forget backup your data...!!!
Its not working at all Only first wake up work correctly. Then volume +/- doesnt respond.

the volume rocker wake works for me only when charging.. if the phone is off the charger nothing happens. Can you confirms it works for you even off the charger or after deep sleep ?

You must flash cm7 or cm10. There is a function to wake up your phone with volume buttons. And for screen off are tons of applications in play store.

Reminds me of a problem with the Palm T|X, which was known for failing power buttons (I wonder how many people remember that device? I am still using mine... ) The best and cheapest solution was the same -- just to replace the button. Doesn't even have to be exactly the same type, as long as it fits...
Yes i am from the ones that started to experience button problem but i found replacement and will replace it when it comes
After so many presses it start's not 2 work on soft press
There is any guide on how to fix or replace the power button ?
Good Morning
If i look at the time (either via a wake up gesture or just pressing the button), the time is displayed with the time of the last screen display on, a second later updates to the correct time!
Why is this? Is there a solution to the problem?
For example if the time is 10:15 I may press the button and it will say 09:20 and then a second later change to 10:15 - is this normal?
Thanks
When I turn on my Nook, all I see is the very first boot screen, where it says "nook" in the middle and "Contains Reader Mobile technology from Adobe Systems Incorporated" in small letters on the bottom. It just stays there like that, and I can only turn it off if I hold down the power button for 5 seconds.
Can anyone help me fix this?

did you try this already.
Turn off the device.
•Press and hold the Power and Volume down buttons.
•When the LG logo appears, quickly release and then re-hold the Power button while continuing to hold the Volume down button.
•‘Factory data reset’ appears.
•Use the Volume down button to highlight Yes.
•Press the Power button to confirm.
•Erase all user data and restore default settings’ appears.
•Use the Volume down button to highlight Yes.
•Press the Power button to reset the device
try with your pc if you can do the update.

It basically says "Find the owner! It is the cell phone which the lost report was received. Please report acquisition to SK Telecom Customer Center (1599-0011)"
Looks like SK Telecom embedded a anti-theft into the phone to disable it's use should it be reported lost or stolen. How did you get the phone? If through unofficial channels, you might want to see about getting your money back.

Hi there, I was wondering if there are any sure fire things I can do to be able to get my HTC back into the recovery menu.
The phone will not turn on, does not respond to charging and volume down and power does nothing, even when held down for a couple of minutes. Interestingly when connected to windows I hear the device connected noise when I hold down volume down and power whilst connected.
Any help would be massively appreciated in reviving my favourite phone. Runs custom AOSP android with the bootloader unlocked. Was working absolutely fine prior to the battery being rum down. Thank you!

Please, anyone, share HTC flash tool here.

You can flash it by using its latest firmware if your phone is not turning on.

Could be a crashed light sensor, sometimes it gets stuck and prevents the back light from turning on. Try holding a bright light close the light sensor then hold the bootloader button combo. It can take a couple of minutes so be patient keep holding the buttons. It should come on at the bootloader screen then just reboot from there.
No promises but it was a know issue so it's worth a try. [emoji106]
