Hi everyone,
I'm posting this thread because I'm heaving a problem with the On/Off switch of my phone... Since yesterday it doesn't work anymore, so when I push it down, nothing happens...
Yesterday, the power-controll menu (the one who appears when you push the swith down for a couple of seconds) appeared now and then, and my phone randomly switched on and off, so I'm thinking this may be a hardware issue...
My problem here is that I bought the phone in a store that's far away from where I live, so I can't just go and bring the phone for repair... But in the meantime I can't turn my phone on... The only way I can turn on the screen is when I connect it to a power source or when someone calls me.
I've searched the interwebs for software that may help me (something like a button remapper, so that I could use the central button for example as on and off switch) but that's only for rooted devices, and mine isn't...
Any propositions ?

I think his phone was on, so the problem was that he couldn't turn the screen on.

Well actually yes, the device was on but it turned off because of the battery... Luckily, I managed to restart the device by plugging it into the power source and remove/putting back the battery several times...
I noticed now that my battery is draining really fast, the phone can't hold a day of normal usage

Well... before realizing the problem was the power button/switch I read another posts about batteries, so i bought a brand new one and let the phone charge.
The thing is that the battery is at 100% and the only way to make the phone turn on is by taking off and puting on the battery and most of the times it works, not always. Then i get to the home screen and it turns off by itself. Only once i could keep the phone on without shutting down automatically. If I try to turn it off or on by the power button it does not respond. Any Suggestions?
Pls, not a single answer...

Same thing happened to me though mine was due to me dropping my phone. I would give HTC a call in the first instance and try and get it fixed for free under warranty
My phone is rooted and has a custom rom so i am able to bypass this issue by having the phone wake on track ball and i have downloaded a few apps
screen off and lock (this is then mapped to long press on the search key
quick boot (to restart the phone, this requires root access to work)
after a few hours you get used to the alternative way to switch the screen on and off.

I had the same problem with the desire HD, happened suddenly installed nolock as a tempory solution, and was going to take it in under warranty for repair. It is caused by a stuck power button. Heres how I fixed mine. As a last resort, I removed the battery sim card cover and battery cover so that all I was holding was the Ali uni body section. with my finger and thumb I began flicking the chrome button with my nail, as if you were flicking a pea accross the table, after about 30 seconds of flicking the little chrome button popped out slightly, when holding it by your ear and pressing it you can now hear a click. Maybe a dust particle or something from my pocket caused mine not sure, but it was moisture or software related. Hope this helps someone who maybe hasthe same problem.

i'd say give htc a call
hope u find a solution soon..

I could not turn on my phone after accidentally selecting the "power down" button in bootloader after pressing down power + volume down
What did i just do? How can i turn on my phone now??? HELP ME! T_T
Pressing the "Power down" option in HBOOT should not be a problem. I've done it a couple times on purpose.
Did you try a long press of the power button, maybe 1-2 seconds? Is the battery sufficiently charged? It will charge when powered down.
be4 i clicked power down, it was around 30% battery (maybe that's why) and since the power-down thing, even if i plug in to charge there is no orange/green light on the LED, is it still charging even without the orange LED lighting up?

There is a known bug with one series. This is a Hard Brick, sorry its true. HTC agreed to fix mine and its being sent back 2morrow. however JTAG CANNOT Fix this issue. i have tryed MANY things and Nothing helped. it completly ****s the main board. Htc have said that this issue is being looked at and for me to NOT press and hold the volume buttons with the power button again, They have said it is a hardware problem not software problem. This issue cannot be resolved by a update only fixable with hardware change.
Please goto this thread for help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1729847
Dude, not again... Did you get QHSUSB_DLOAD? If you did. I'm sure it's a hard brick. It happened to me once. The only solution is phone replacement. Take your phone to your seller. You will get a replacement phone within 3 working days.

I have same problem on my old Desire, now either get the power button fixed from service center or flash some custom rom/mod which enables track pad wake, I am using custom rom and can wake phone using track pad and its working just fine from last 2-3 months.

sounds like a hardware issue. If you have the tools, take the phone apart and make sure the lead is touching the button sensor.....It may have ripped or moved out of place I would guess.....
Hi,
I have a problem with my Xperia S.

I guess Your battery is down. Did You try connecting it to charger? What do You see on phone when You try the combination of power+vol up?

Yes' I've tried connected with charger, still no response. Nothing happen when i tried poer + vol up.
Did you try holding down the power button + volume up key? Its to force reboot the phone. Keep the combination of keys pressed till your phone vibrates! Hope it helps...
Broken

Get flashtool and drivers plug phone into it and see if flashtool detects anything on it. If that don't detect it unplug.
Hold the up and down vol button and press power button and see if it vibrates or anything. If still nothing then get a t6 or t8 screw driver remove the back of it and remove the battery and get a ohmz meter on it and test the battery or connect to a battery tester. Sounds like battery dead on it.
