The power button is not responding - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys
Every now and then, when i press the power button it doesn't respond unless i long press it. Sometimes it takes 10 seconds or even longer, then it works normally for a short while, then it doesn't respond again.
Restarting or force restarting doesn't fix it.
""*This problem is not exclusive to Note 5, many devices do the same as I read somewhere and it's not a hardware issue *""
Anyone has a solution to that?

Anyone?

Up ?

And up again

That is so depressing ?

[Q] Power On: Power Button needs to be pressed a very long time and still increasing

Hello,
for several months now i am experiencing a strange behaviour of my Diamond when Powering on.
After powering off the Diamond in the evening when i try to start the phone next morning i have to press the Power button for a long time (up to about 30 seconds) until the phone sarts booting the OS. Sometimes it needs several attempts until i get it working.
In the last weeks the time i have to press the button is increasing.
I am afraid that my Diamond will be only a brick in near future.
Hard resetting the phone and flashing different ROM's (AZTOR, RTT) did not solve the Problem.
Has anyone in this Forum experienced the same Problem and is there possibly a solution?

[Q] Lock-Button unresponsive/shuts down phone

Hi,
When I want to lock my phone, It shuts down. It's like I press the button longer than 2 seconds, even though I don't.
Sometimes the button is unresponsive and nothing happens, for the rest of the time it shuts down.
I'm currently on stock rom N7000XXLRK.
I just found threads where this problem happened on other phones, is there a way to fix it or do I have to send my Note in?

Power Button Reboot; Emulate Battery Pull

I have been stuck in a spot that I needed to use the battery pull emulation of holding the power button down and waiting for a reboot. Mine just does not work! I can have the phone on, press and hold the power button, the 3 second countdown notification appears, and upon reaching 1 second, it just sits there no matter how long I keep the power button depressed without ever rebooting.
I'm posting about this because I've seen many users that are in the same boat as I am, and I would like to know if anyone has any suggestions on how to make this work.
My problem is documented here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40950471
Is this a hardware issue? Does anyone have any ideas for us unlucky few that this very important function does not work for?
I am on stock, odexed, rooted, 64GB dev edition (1.29.1540.3) on AT&T network. I have installed only one mod...homeslice's 'bkbtnmenu.zip' which pushed a Settings.apk over the stock Settings.apk while deleting the stock Setting.odex file. I'm not saying that this mod caused any problems whatsoever...just trying to give detailed information.

I don't know if this will help anything, but here is a logcat.
I started the logcat and pressed power button simultaneously. I held the power button for about 20 seconds, released and stopped log.
Hold it for ten seconds then release.

Problem with waking up

I'm on V20A, official, rooted. Sometimes I have to press power button 2-3 times for waking up the phone (sometimes not). Same for turn off screen. It's common problem? Maybe I'm pressing power button to gently, but I have not noticed this before V20A. Very annoying.
P.S - I don't have time right now to backup, do factory reset or flash CM or something, so I'm just asking.

Happens on every stock device (as far as i know). The question is if the devs are going to fix it in a custom kernel. But until then it seems like an annoying small bug.
The only solution i know is to wait and press the power button again.

I noticed you have to push button longer and everything works in the first time almost every time. But I have a bunch of other devices and I used to push power button very fast, so this bug really annoying.

phone stays black, button not responding? help

hi, i have a g800f. Sometimes (3 times in the last month) my phone doesn't wake up when i press power button. The last time i received a whatsapp message and then touch didn't worked, the phone didn't respond and then it became black. I had to remove battery and it started up again. An other time i found it like it were off because pushing power button i received no answers, so i did the same thing, removed battery and worked again.
I read it is a common problem of S5 and S5 mini. any way to fix it? maybe i should do a factory reset? anyone has the same problem? sorry for my bad english
It's happening to me too. There is no way at the moment to fix this issue. The only way that i found is to not remove the battery every time just press and hold three buttons together (Volume Down + Home + Power) it will boot you to Download Mode. Just press volume down to restart it.
Yeah this happens to me occasionally, I cant find a better solution to this but removing battery or waiting for 2-5 min.
Android 5 is coming in 2 weeks hope this issue would be fixed and overall performance for S5 mini would be improved.
