I have had my Htc Evo rooted for a long time now. This problem recently just started and I'm not sure if it's because my phone is rooted or maybe it's just an electrical or hardware problem. The top right button to lock the phone or to wake it up from sleep doesn't register all the time. I sometimes have to push it several times for it to work. Do you think I should restore my phone? Maybe it's because it's rooted? Something got corrupted? I'm leaning more towards hardware problems..
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Are you just having trouble waking the phone up with the power button, or is it all functions of the power button are acting weird? Does it put the phone to sleep fine? I've had it happen a few times, where the phone wouldn't wake up by pushing that button. That was attributed to the ROM i was using at the time, and also having the min clock setting at 128.
If your case is different, and the button isn't working properly for all of it's functiopns, and not just waking up the phone, it could be a hardware issue, or the button mechanism could be hanging up or something.

All the functions of the power button is acting weird..sometimes I have to push the button like 10 times for it to wake up so I can unlock my phone. Sometimes I have to push it 5 times or more to turn it off. It's weird though how this randomly started doing this. I was hoping it was the Rom. I'm running Fresh I've never had any problems with it. That's why I leaned more towards the hardware. Is there any way to go around pushing the power button to wake up the phone? Do you think I should restore my phone to see if it maybe fixes the problem?
Thanks!

If it was me, I would make a nand backup of your current setup, and then try flashing a different rom, and seeing if the problem persists. If it continues, I'd then unroot and return to stock setup. If it happens on stock setup, I'd then take it to Sprint to have it looked at.

Alright, I'll do that. Thanks
bump for update from OP
Power BUtton Problems with Waking etc.
Not sure if you ever resolved your issue, but I have the EVO 3D, NOT rooted but with the latest updates, and ever since the last OTA update that moved me to software level 2.08.651.2, I have had issues with the phone not waking on an inbound call until I hit the power button and then wait about 8 seconds for the screen to come on. I have Factory Restored it 3 times, which seems to fix the problem temporarily, but it always comes back.
I just did a warranty replacement claim to see if that will finally resolve the issue. I even found a post where someone said the stock batteries are somewhat loose, so I took a business card and taped it to the bottom of the battery, opposite of the charging posts so that the fit would be better, still no luck.

When I plugged out the charger this morning and turned off the wifi my phone suddenly crashed and started to reboot. I put the phone in my pocket and didn't think much about it seeing as this is a very common problem for a lot of people and it usually happens to me once or twice a week.
One hour or so later I pick up the phone to check something on the web and then press the home button to get me back to the home screen. Nothing happens. I press it again. Nothing happens. I have to then press the back button a bunch of times in order to get back to the homescreen...
After testing this a bit more I realize that this behavior doesn't go away, it's permanent, the button just doesn't work any more, which in itself is odd for a software button... Not only that but my lockscreen is gone as well even though it's set to "drag" in the settings and the "minimalistic text" widget on my homescreen sometimes have trouble loading up...
Rebooting the phone does not help.
Does anyone know how to fix this or even know why this has happened?
(ps. the phone is a swedish yakjuxw)
it may be static on your screen pull out your battery an presst the power button repeatedly for about 30 secconds insert ther battery anr seenif it works. Report back to me.
Edit.. also if your in aokp see what happens when you re-arange the soft key to a differant place and see if it works.

I pulled out the battery and mashed the powerbutton for about a minute, but the problem is still there.

Nope, the device is stock.
I saw a dutch user on a dutch forum with the same issue. a Factory reset solved this for him... Not sure what caused it and it's a bummer if it happens to you but at least it worked for him.
Try using an app that puts your device in landscape mode and see if it works then ans when you switch back to portrait.

Thanks for the replies, but I did a factory reset and it solved the problem.
Had a similar issue when i just got the phone, systemui kept crashing and when i'd reboot none of the soft keys worked - had to wipe and factory reset as well!
Damn. This happened to me too, just spent forever getting stuff on my phone.
Well it looks like I'll be factory resetting...
Last night while using my phone it suddenly rebooted itself, and when it came back on the power button no longer worked. I could use the volume buttons to wake the phone, but even that stopped working after a while. I went to sleep and let it charge overnight, and when I woke up, all was working normally. Its been normal all day until a few min ago, the phone rebooted and now once again the power button wont work. Anyone had this problem? Any suggestions, besides take it to Sprint, which I will do if it continues?
Well I took it to a Sprint store and the tech said the button is physically fine, and worked when doing a hard reset but once the phone came back on it went back to not working again. So he thinks it's a software issue and ordered me a replacement. And my E4GT is completely stock, never rooted. Just decided to let u guys know just in case anyone else happens to have the same problem.

If it is a software problem which it sounds like to me I would root that thing and throw a rom on there and see if that works. Preferably Phantom Hackers Blazer rom 4.1 Pure win!

I have this problem right now it came out of no where and was working fine till now. When I flashed a new rom my power button still wont work.
My power button isn't working either. My phone randomly reboots and isn't usable. My buddy gave me his old Samsung Moment to use It's like I'm back in the stone age with this thing. No insurance on my E4GT either FML.

It's still under a year old isn't it? Take it in and spend the $35.00 for Sprint to troubleshoot and replace it under warranty.
I was having this issue with my e4gt so i tried to flash a new ROM onto it. That didn't work, so I restored it to factory using this one-click Odin method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721229
Since the power button didn't function for me I had to use Terminal Emulator to reboot into download mode. Restoring to factory seemed to have restored the power button. I had a few phantom reboots but the phone has been running for 13 hours right now. Seems to be fixed. I plan on waiting a week before rooting it again, in case i decide to take it to Sprint.
Hope this helps

did that fix the problem? im on the universe 2.1 rom and for some odd reason while i left my phone on the table it all of a sudden rebooted and my power button wasnt working either? well can you let me know if that fixed the problem for you? I cant use the power button at all and whenever i take out my battery and put it back in, it automatically starts my phone up right when i put the battery in. but please let me know if urs is fine now. thanks
sh*t, nevermind i just tried to do the odin one click and it restored my factory settings and everything but the power button still doesnt work... =( damnit!!
ok nevermind that too... sorry for blowing up your post but just wanted to inform that i just applied more pressure to the power button and held it there for a few seconds and then let go and all of a sudden the power button started working again... i was reading through other posts about this and they said that it happens often with this phone... but this is how i ended up fixing mine if the odin one click doesnt work...

For those of you who don't have insurance, or those who this option is cheaper, they can replace the power button for $35. I didn't look if it includes shipping. If it were me, and I had a little more money, I'd get the power button and usb port changed to new ones at the same time. The port might go out eventually and it saves you the time and hassle of sending it in again. Hell, $75 is still cheaper than paying the $100 deductible if sprint tries to make you pay that for a refurb.
My phone started rebooting constantly since last week. I went back to the ICS 4.03 ROM and it was ok for a few days and then it starting rebooting again yesterday. Today once the phone screen goes off it comes back on and when i press the power button to turn the screen off, it restarts. The only time it acts normal is when it is charging. I do have insurance so I'm thinking about removing the superuser app and taking it to sprint. My question is will they try fixing it before giving me a replacement & will it be refurbished? I'm at wit's end with this phone. I loved this phone until last week

If you can go back to gingerbread(clean install) you should give that a try before you go back to sprint and find your self back at square one after flashing ics, replacement phone may have gb installed. Run some stock rooted gb for a while and see what happens.

I did that & it was ok for a few days then it started again...today it worked better than most days but the power button still wont turn the screen off if I press it
I have the same symptoms with mine, which started 2 days ago while out of town. The only difference being my power button goes from hyper-sensitive in that if I even brush my finger by it it closes the screen to not registering anything no matter how hard I click. Any way to tell via logs, etc if this is hardware or software? Phone is unuseable with the constant reboots...
Update
Had been running Calks 3.0 before the power button issue, so decided to start over to see if it helped:
1) Ran Calks Format All
2) Reflashed 3.0
3) Ran his Bare ROM Converter
Result: Problem disappeared, so far. Will report back if anything changes, but worth a complete reformat and reflash try since I am out of warranty as an original adopter 9/16/11.
this just happened to me while running cm10 alphas. power button wouldn't work at all and occasionally it would just reboot.
i full wiped and installed one of agat's mods. we'll see what happens.

Everything was perfect since the re-flash UNTIL I took a flight and the same problem with the power button started again. Whats funny is the last time the same thing happened. Chain of events:
1) Two weeks ago phone was perfect running Calks 3.0 GB ROM and had been for the last 3-4 months. Stock rooted for 5 months prior.
2) Went to airport, phone went thru security scanner and boarded plane.
3) Prior to departing, checked phone and noticed the power button didnt turn screen back on.
4) Pulled battery/ put back in, and the phone rebooted without me pressing the power button, which it never had previously.
5) Phone boots back up to lockscreen, and notice the power button is hyper-sensitive (If I lightly brush my finger against it, the "Power Off, Reset, Recovery...." screen pops up. Its like the power button has become a capacitance button like the four at the bottom face of the phone.
6) Try using, and it randomly reboots, even completely avoiding the right edge of the phone (power button side)
7) If phone screen is allowed to go dark, power button wont awaken it, but volume buttons sometimes will...Also, plugging/unplugging into charger will awaken screen. If I reboot the phone with it charging, it turns off and goes into charging mode with the green battery bar graph.
8) Struggled with the phone screen turning on/off, randomly rebooting with/without touching, turning, using, etc.
9) Arrived home and after many attempts, booted into Rogue Recovery, wiped/all format/reflashed Calks 3.0/Bare ROM converter and phone was just as it was before....Until 5 days later when I boarded another flight.......Why?
My samsung galaxy s2 has sensitive power button for some reason. I'm not sure if its the roms i have been flashing. But im on IML74K_Ics_Perfection_UCLD2 and if the slightest touch on the power button turn on my phone when it is off. Or it can turn it when the phone is locked. But i can even press it all the way down for even a split second without it rebooting and going into a bootloop and taking me many tries to actually boot up. Is this a hardware problem with my phone should i restore my phone to stock and return back to tmobile or is this a ics problem with the roms?

Have you tried using any different roms? Is the issue still present? I haven't had or read about this issue before, and I've tried my fair share of roms.
I have tried the darkside roms but im starting to think its the phone and i think is should get it replaced then.
Yeah it shouldn't be so sensative.

i just started experiencing this last night. RIGHT after getting my battery replaced after two weeks of dealing with that problem and finally realizing it was my battery and not my phone. then i tried to take a screenshot of my new battery stats (without all of the huge sudden depletions) and my phone reset as if i held the power button down for 5 seconds. i read about a woman in india getting her button repaired for 550 rupees ($10), but i'm wondering if i should just get a whole new unit and be done with it. the problem with that is dealing with setting up all my apps over again. i have titanium backup (root version) but the last time i got a new phone it didn't put all my apps back on my phone. maybe i did something wrong. i'll email them for detailed instructions and see if it's better to get the button or the phone replaced.
Definitely the power button! After I hardbricked and revived it, my phone had an internal short, which made my phone constantly power off my phone, restart my phone over and over, etc. Josh at mobiletechvideos had to try and work around. He disabled my power button and remapped the wake buttons. So now I wake this phone via the volume rockers on roms that support that
I digress. If you can't send it to T-Mobile to get repaired, give mobile tech videos a shot. Just 35$ and they're super swift

I wonder what's actually causing this power button thing??
I was literally just browsing email, clicking around a little fast, back to home screen and FLASH!!! my camera flashes and all this same $hit starts happening...boot loop, sensitive button, booting out of recovery mode even. I just doesn't add up to sudden button failure...does it??? Why would the camera just flash out of nowhere? Some of the boot loops would also get interrupted and start over. Recovery mode is also kind of screwy. I tried to restore to a backup of Beastmade rom and it just reflashed Sith, the same rom I've been on!! And all my other backups/nandroids are missing. Something is fishy here.
I did recently go to TWRP and have been on the Sith Rom (clones & drones).
Yep its the power button ! I had this problem a month ago , but for me it completely went away .. maybe something was just stuck in between and the constant pressing of the button loosened whatever it was

The thing that has me curious is how mine started acting up. I wasn't even touching the power button. I was just clicking around gmail, went to home screen, the camera flashed and it started boot looping. It would sort of zap out in the middle of a reboot like there was a power issue and lot of other stuff was messed up including TWRP recovery! This tells me there is something else going on...more ROM related. Seems like all this started happening when these ICS ROMS dropped...none of them are as stable as Juggernaut, Paradox, etc...NONE of them. My power button does indeed seem defective, but it almost seems like it was a bi product of something else.

ROM related. No. Its a faulty power button. Been many threads describing your situation. Ends up being a faulty power button. Mobiletech offers a power button service. Its reasonably priced.

I was lucky enough to get flashed back to stock and have a warranty replacement on the way. Still has me wondering if something else wasn't up. Just seems like all the ICS based ROMs have been very buggy compared to the very stable Gingerbread builds. I sure enjoyed my rooted phone but this has been a PITA losing my device...it's my work and life! I haven't been stock in so long it will be interesting to click around a bit and see if I'm not better off stock. I'm due for an upgrade next month so I may well be on to an S3 or whatever else is out.
Just got my replacement this afternoon!!! Man...what a couple of days it's been without it! Holy crap, I had no idea.
Anyway the new phone shipped with 4.04. So that's cool. So far THIS is the most stable ICS rom I've used. :silly:
I know this post is ancient, but ....
Two years later, I'm experiencing this power button problem and I'm on KitKat - SlimKat 7.0 stable.

Dah... just went locally to have it serviced... got screwed at 100$...
Should have searched online before...
I had the SAME EXACT issue. I had to literally remove my power button because my device would reboot every few minutes. I use the volume keys to wake the device and sleep shortcut in the notification bar to sleep. If my device turns off, I have to turn it on with a USB, which is a major hassle but I've grown used to it.
Hello,
Suddenly (while i was holding my phone in my hand and doing absolutely nothing) power button, volume buttons, camera button and vibrator stopped working. Screen and other functions are fine.
I rebooted using ADB.
Factory resetted.
No results.
Is there any way I can resolve this before sending it to Sony service?

You can try to press the back cover of the phone somewhere in the middle betwen NFC sign and SONY logo, because that is aproximately the place where connector for that buttons is...not logical, but it might be disconected somehow

Man, you are a genius. Buttons on my xperia z5 stopped working. I couldn't lock the screen, restart te phone, change the volume or anything. finally battery exhausted and phone never turn on again. I have watched tens of videos, did lots of things they suggest. I was even about to open the back of the tightly sticked waterproof back of the phone. Luckily I came across your smart advice and it worked. I am expecting important calls today and you saved me from a lot of trouble. I can't express enough my gratitude to you. You are my hero. Thank you very much. I would like yo follow if you have twitter or a youtube channel or something. Best regards.
