oh. the button on the top. If its not responding then you might need to get a replacement.

I'd hope to not have to void my warranty anymore than I have

Guess you could try squirting some air in/around it. See if you could blow off whatever is making it stick or not make contact.
Just an idea....

There are ALOT of forums discussing this issue, when you hang up do not hit the home button or back, let the phone return to the home screen on its own and this is the work around for this particular issue...

Just an idea... have someone call it? That will in turn wake it up for you to use it, and up the standby screen time.
Why not taking the battery out, then in, then power up. IIRC, the phone won't shut off if it has just booted unless it times out.
There is an app called slide2wake

My power button and mic both quit working this morning. I have had the phone about two weeks. I'm just pulling the battery and using volume rockers to wake up at this point.
Restoring old backup ROM, but I don't think it has anything to do with it since the button does not work in CWM either.
Uhggg
Charge it? Mine cuts on when I charge it.

Power up with no power button? Right.

I am not a smart man.
What 'bout with a charger? Like the previous gentleman said?
disassemble the phone [it's really not hard, just some Phillips screws and then pry the screen part out]. depending on how badly you broke the power button you can either just push on the underlying membrane or short the contacts using a wire.

what?
up!
The last few months on my gnex I started having to take the battery out and put back in to power on.. (about 50% of the time) If I do this it will power on but if I don't it wont.. Anyone know what this could be? Is it the power button? Seems like if it was it wouldn't power on at all?

Just press power and home button in the same time and hold it for 3 seconds in 4.0.4 tw roms. Simple
If you get the task manager thing, that means your doing it wrong and not pressing it in the same time.

Obviously this guy can't read... but if he did I would like to know how he got the power button or the home button to lower the volume
Sorry I just rush read. I figured you'd mention Vol - and Power. But the new bottons worked. Thanks for the help and my apologies for the mistake.

will this work on GB?

Power button being strange...

Alright so recently I've gotten rid of all custom roms and gone with stock GB27 because I wanted better battery life with my phone. My phone is not rooted or anything at the moment.
However, the other day I did root again and since then my phone started being really weird. I stayed on stock GB27 and just did root so that I could keep the really good battery life but still be on JB. After root I noticed that my phone doesn't register power button presses the same. Sometimes if I just tap the power button it accepts it as me holding it and brings up the power menu asking if I want to turn off, etc. or it just won't respond at all. If it doesn't respond, I press it again hoping it will respond, but then it just reboots after I press it like 3 times hoping for the screen to turn off.
It's really irritating when I can't unlock my device or turn off the screen, especially when the phone turns on and off perfectly if I want it to. I have no issues being able to turn the phone on if it is completely off, it's only when the phone is on that I have these problems. Does anyone know how to fix this?

[HELP] Disabling the power button

Hey guys.
I had a ultra sensitive power button that kept turning the phone on and off when I was using it.
After doing some searching, I found that a lot of people just had dirty on buttons and i tried to clean mine myself.
Now the button is even more sensitive, it is basically ON all the time. the device will turn on (flash samsung) then show cyanogenmod logo, then turns off. and it repeats this perpetually.
I cant even get into recovery because it turns off the phone too fast.
I think the best way is to disable the power button at this point, does anyone know how to do this?
Can i make my power button from my home button instead?
Thanks!
Pull it out and unsolder it

Oh, right. Well what I did was I pulled it out and that seemed to stop it from rebooting, so try that, if it still doesn't work then desolder and put in a new button
Edit: btw I do not have the device anymore cuz I traded it for a g3
