I have a problem, when i hit the power button the phone enter lock mode, no problem to wwake it up with keylock. When i hit power button and waits until the screen goes black, then i cant wake it up. It reboots?! Anyone with the same problem?!
I can make calls to the phone to wake it up from sleep mode, but not hit the powerbutton!!
I have also tried to wipe the phone without a positive result, in ClockworkMod Recovery, the power button works fine to turn on/off the screen.
Hmm did you ever get to the bottom of this? Am also having the issue and have tried 4 ROMS with the same effect.
Must be a hardware or hboot thing?
Which rom + kernel are you using? Please post also the information from your hboot.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Hey
Try using your trackpad button in selecting options!!
or just flash newest custom recovery :0
Use trackpad or volume buttons.
Hey guys thanks for the reply, i actually can scroll through the menu's but when i select i get a blank screen,
Btw Ashutosh1313 how do you flash a newer custom recovery, appreciate your help
Dont use "power button" to select things in recovery, use trackpad! the middle button on the bottom of the phone...
Thanks Guys its working, all this while i was using the power button to select, appreciate all your help on this.
Anyone please help me, i'm very nervous
Today my Gnex has just decided not to turn on anymore after a reboot.
Please note that it is not Flashing - related, because i've used this current rom (Xenon HD v8) for about a week or so. When the fault happened, i just rebooted my phone during a normal daily use, and right after downloading Google Maps and updating Instagram. These are the only changes i made before rebooting the device. And booooom, it stopped running out of the blue.
It does vibrate when i press and hold Power button (for a normal boot) or when i press the combination of Vol up + Vol down + Power to enter fastboot.
But that's it. After the short vibration, it stays black
It does feel warm on the back.
So, what happened to my phone?
Please explain this Sh!t, many thanks.
Maybe this can help you.

Thank you but my phone does vibrate and went to that state w/o any flashing actions
But i will try it anyway

Shine a torch on the screen. If you can see anything then the backlight is gone...
So I'm running CM 10.2 android version 4.3 and I started to notice that when I pressed the power button, it brought up the reboot menu instead putting my screen to sleep so I downloaded the newest nightly and figured it was probably just a bug and went to flash the latest nightly. Upon reboot, my phone got in an infinite bootloop so I pulled the battery, let it sit for a minute and then held the power, volume up and menu button to enter recovery. I got the blue words in corner that you will normally see when booting into recovery, then saw the S3 screen that you'll see right before entering recovery, however, my phone started rebooting again constantly vibrating etc. So then I decided to try and get into download and flash back to stock with Odin. So I entered download mode, pressed volume up on the confirm screen and then it entered download mode and then immediately rebooted and wouldn't stop. Is my phone bricked? I'm wondering if the power button is broken since when in download mode, it reboots which normally occurs when you hold the power button in download mode. Sorry for the long description but just wanted you guys to know what I've done so far and am experiencing. Any help is appreciated. I've been rooting phones from all manufacturers for years now and I'm out of ideas at this point. Thanks!
Definition of a bricked phone: A completely unresponsive device which doesn't turn on at all. Doesn't vibrate upon start up and doesn't have any signs of life.
You most likely have a jammed power button as that has been the issue with the GS3. Not a brick.
Clearly not bricked as the first reply explained. And for the love of god, please use some white space (paragraphs) next time.
If you think that a button is jammed, see if you can physically unjam it without causing damage. If you believe that the flash may be messed up, the mskip's Samsung Toolkit may be able to reflash a known good ROM even with a stuck button. And look into some of the button remapping apps like the aptly titled Fix Broken Power Button app.
Good luck.
I am not a total noob. I have always done my research and I am well versed with the procedures but this has me stumped. About six months before I had installed Omega ROM (told you i wasn't a noob) and things were fine and dandy. I was running today and bam! my phone just enters into a bootloop (lost my data on endomondo too). But hey! I am an expert right? or so i think to myself and I try getting into the recovery mode / download mode. I press the volume down, power and home button. The warning comes up and all that i have to do now is to press the volume up key right? wrong!! Inspite of pressing the volume up key the bootloop continues. I dont know what i am doing wrong. I am sure it is a really silly thing but i am not able to figure it out myself. I read the posts and all of them deal with other issues. Can someone help me?
Can someone check this up for me? Switch off your phone and try going into the recovery mode by pressing only the vol. down button and the home button pressed together. If it does not show the warning screen prior to the recovery mode then it would mean that my power button is malfunctioning. It would take just two minutes of your time. Please post your results here. Please.
If you press just the volume down and home button not a lot happens not the warning screen anyway. When I boot into recovery I have to wait for the Samsung logo to appear twice or it just reboots. Might be worth pressing all 3 buttons and wait for the 3rd restart before letting go
Edit
It's volume up home and power for recovery if you get download mode and volume up the phone just reboots hence why you go back to bootloop

The problem is solved. It turned out that it was not a boot loop after all. The power button got pressed and was stuck in that state thus causing repeated reboots. It was by pressing the volume down and home button without pressing the power button that i figured out that the power button was stuck. So i took out the screws and adjusted the band slightly and now alls well.
Hi!
When pressing the power button sometimes only the navigation lights turn on but the screen stays black but is activated (meaning I can type and control it blindly). To get the display illuminated again I need to press power twice (to turn display off and again on). This happens as far as tested every three times I sent the phone to sleep locking it. This is happening immediately after installing any ROM. I will test whether this happens also while in Recovery. If, does that mean it is a hardware issue?
Device: I9195
ROM: AOKP Nougat (before I updated to newest stock ROM available)
Recovery: TWRP
Any ideas? I searched the forum but did not find something so far.
Thank you!
