Hi everyone,
I got a HTC Tytn 2 and i have a problem with it.
When i boot the phone it starts up and goes into windows like every windows mobile phone.
But when i press the standby button my screen wont go out of standby.
Only when i reset the phone it will work again.
Anyone got idea's ?
Oke, since no one responded.
Is there any way how i can make the Power Button replaced with the Speed Dial Button.
Because i think my power button is broke.

Have you at least tried backing up your data and doing a hard reset first ?
Yes, and i have also tried to put on a new rom and even updated the radio.
Iam a little bit out of idea's...
here are some more ideas:
1. how to test the power button: you say pressing the power button does not wake up the device once it goes to sleep. conversely, does pressing the power button put the device to sleep while the screen is on? if the power button is unable to make the device go off->on as well as on->off, then the power button is likely broken. if pressing the button achieves on->off, then the power button is probably ok and some software issue becomes more likely.
2. how to enable wake on pressing ANY hardware button: look for an option in Settings. i can't tell you the exact option because the ROM i am using does not have a link for this option, but this option does exist 100% in stock ROM and in lots of other ROMs. it contains settings like "Lock all buttons except power button" and "Keep all buttons unlocked" or something similar. by using the second option, pressing ANY hardware button while the screen is off will wake up the device.
3. you can use AE button plus to perform even more advanced button (re)mappings.
4. just to be sure that your device is really working correct, does the screen wake up when you call the phone or when you receive a text message? if it does not wake up even then, then search for "sleep of death".
Thanks for the response.
I think its a Service of Death problem.
Because when i try calling/smsing it, it wont go on
The buttons do work then...hopefully there's a fix for this problem...
Oke, i tried switching to 2G or 3G only but that didn't fix my Standby of Death.
I also bought a new sim card of vodafone so i wont get a No Sim error.
But what can i do now about it...it hangs like every 5 min...
Okay, after a will testing, the phone hangs every time its almost like when iam on the road with my tytn 2 and placing it upside down, it hangs.
But when iam putting it in the leather holder it doesn't hang.
Any had the same problems ?

Maybe it's hardware and something is coming loose
Hi
I need urgent HELP.... Its my new Moto G 2nd Generation which I brought around 1 month ago. I was trying to encrypt my phone using the option in settings. It went perfectly fine till it shows 100% . Then it got switched off and now no response. I tried charging it up. Not working. Then tried to get into recovery by pressing power button and Volume + also Power and Volume -. No change. Did I bricked my phone? What shall I do? Its still in warranty, so giving the phone to service center helps?

Did you enter recovery before? Look at the following video and see if you can enter recovery:
Thanks for the reply.....
Thanks for your fast reply. I tried the same method but it didn't work at all. I kept my phone at home and after I came back from my office I just plugged it to give it a try. I guess my battery was fully drained, when I plugged it charging screen appeared. :laugh: A small hope came and I kept pressing the power button and Volume down for sometime and in between Volume up also. I guess Its my lucky day today, phone booted into recovery screen and I just selected normal power up option and I got all my data back. ..... You don't have an option to take your battery out and put it again. Other wise I won't be facing this situation....... Thanks for all.
you always hard reboot your phone by long pressing power button.
So this morning I picked up my Note 4, used it normally to check emails, etc, went to turn off/lock screen and it wouldn't respond at all. I held down the power button and then it brings up the power menu, I restarted a few times and still nothing. Is my power button defective or could some setting have automatically changed the settings?
Go to *#0*# and select Sub-Key. Press every physical button on the Note 4 one by one (Volume Up, Volume Down, Home Button, Power Button On, Power Button Off). If the end result is PASS, then you're Power button is fine. Can also be a sticky / tacky power button, or something you modded in the settings.

Just did the test, every button turned a different color, volume up (gray) volume down (green), menu (brown), home (blue) back (purple) , power (red, is this a fail?) but I didnt get any PASS. Is the power button supposed to have 2 colors, one for on and one for off? I tried holding down the power button but that brings up the power menu.
Also noticed that the screen will not dim or turn off automatically.
Update: I ended up doing a reinstall of the stock fw through Odin and it fixed it. I wonder what caused it and where those settings/issue where stored? I had tried doing a reset from within settings, but as I understand, that doesn't clear ALL the data.
I know how it feels when the diagnostic doesn't yield a pass. Glad to hear that reflashing the stock firmware resolved it though. Could have been something deep in the firmware causing this. Keep us updated if it persists again. The power button has been a culprit of problems in the past for many as well in previous Note devices. The final result should have displayed "PASS" on the display, perhaps you didn't complete the task, that's okay. Sometimes simply clearing the cache instead of factory reset could have resolved the problem as well. Samsung is notorious time to time.

I have a Note 4 too and since a few days I have been noticing this issue. The power button doesn't wake the screen up. I have to fiddle around the button a little bit, press it a bit harder sometimes and then it works.
Also noticed that when this happens, I unlock the phone using the Home button and when I try to use the power button then nothing happens. Keeping the power button pressed doesn't give me the reboot/boot options either until I fiddle with it.
The strange this is, one it starts working, i can use it again and again until I leave the phone aside until sometime and then the power button does nothing until i repeat fiddling it.

Also ran the test : *#0*# and select Sub-Key
All buttons work except the power button but again if I press hard and try to nudge the button a little bit, I saw the colour change to RED. No PASS either.
Do you have any xposed modules installed? I had this happen with either gravitybox or wanam when I tried to tinker with the power menus. *3.
No. Everything is stock and not rooted either.
In my case, a complete wipe to factory fixed the issue for me and never had the issue since then, but it kind of sounds like you may have a hardware issue.
that's what I'm thinking too hw issue. But once it starts to work it works perfectly even pressing the button lightly. If the phone's been idle for a while that's when it starts. But anyway, I'll do the basics, factory reset and then bring it over to the carrier shop. Hate to send it away as its not that long ago i got the phone.
Thanks for all the help/comments.
I just started having the same problem myself. I think I'm going good to buy the right now. For the power button and have it installed.

I am having the exact same problem , did you manage to solve it ?
No. But I've been using the phone less as in on holidays and noticed it hadn't been happening much. If issue still persists I'll bring the phone back to the carrier for a repair/replacement as it's still under warranty.
For the first few days power button worked occasionally now it has stopped working completely.

The working of button changes with temperature. With a little heating with hair dryer the button started working.

I agree with the temperature because when I was in holidays the issue didn't happen and Iwas in a hot country with 35 deg C. Weird, so was my Note 4 built for Middle East?!?
My power button has started working 100% normal from falling the hw test earlier.

I did a full factory reset and it appeared to work but after restoring all my apps and using it for a couple of days it started again. Brought it to the carrier to get it fixed as is still under warranty. They said it was a faulty "electrical component" which they replaced. Got the phone back and I restored all the apps. I have the problem again. I don't trust the carrier to have fixed the issue as it was intermitten in the first place. The button works continuously once it's stays working until I leave it aside for a while. I'll have to bring it back again and wait for a week!
I'll keep you posted.

My note 4 problem is whenever I remove the charger it went out and behave as it wants to start up and as soon as I replaced the charger I can turn it on and it stays on. Someone please help me with this
So I have an X Performance Dual, today as I woke up in the morning I used my phone a while, I then went for a run I leave the phone unplugged and when I came back the phone wasn't turning on I managed to turn it off using the power button + Volume up key, after that it booted to the Xperia screen after that it turned off by itself and now is now charging, not being recognized by the pc on flash mode nor fastboot mode. what can I do?
HI
I have the same. Bootloader unlocked. Upgrading XZ rom and now not woring hopefully I can reset somewhere but no led/usb signals at the moment... Hopefully power will trigger a reset deep in the hardware....
press power button and hold volume up button same time for several seconds. You will feel it vibrate 3 consecutive times. This is a sort of reset with does not delete anything. It just seems to fix boot issues. Try it and see if this helps..

I sent it to my local sony repair center, after 5 days sent returned no issue thank god... now new motherboard
Had a error saying that power monitor? (default app I assume, not downloaded) had stopped, dismissed the popup but it kept returning, i.e. couldn't do anything so held power button to force power off.
Nothing happens, have the power off, restart option window on screen but phone is locked up, no response.
Any method to restart or am I left waiting for the battery to run out?
Tried usb power connect/disconnect and removed sim tray but nothing.
Try this, http://www.hardreset.info/devices/nokia/nokia-8/
But you will loose data from your device

Thanks for reply. It won't power off, that is the problem, just frozen on the power menu, long pressing the power button does nothing.

Well bleeding hell! so they use two button combo for hard off rather than just the power button alone.
Time to cancell the return and the re-buy from elsewhere then... d'oh!
Cheers matey, very much appreciated.
