Hi. My wife's P6 was having internal memory full messages, which she ignored. Suddenly, phone rebooted itself and it seems to be working on the background since it sounds when it receives whatsapp messages, but screen is off. It doesn't respond to any button and screen doesn't respond.
How can I hard reboot it? (With keys)? I don't want to hard reset it unless there's no other option.

Nevermind, it was the lock button. Seems to be jammed, it doesn't work since last auto reboot. Screen was on again after connecting a cable, and now it's her unlock procedure: plugin in a cable :/
I want to rule out hardware failure rebooting, but I can't do it since lock button is not working. Any workaround?
There isnt really a workaround for the power/lock button. If it stopped working its best that you go and get it fixed.

I'm using the Xperia S, got it around March.
The power button is not working, it happened all of a sudden because it was working fine in the morning but then suddenly in the afternoon I wasn't able to unlock the screen.
Usually when the phone is asleep, to wake it up and unlock you need to press on the power button at the top left, but no matter how hard or how long i press, it is unresponsive. The only way that i can get to the unlock screen is through holding down the camera button and go through the camera to get back to the home screen to be able to use my phone.
The phone still works fine, as of now. Able to recieve incoming calls as the screen lights up to the swipe screen to answer when there is a incoming call. The only issue is that the power button seems to be broken.
I've called Sony support and they advised to connect to PC Companion and reboot/update there, but I'm not even able to turn off the phone since the button isn't working. I've tried to hold down power and volume up/down, but still nothing. The red light will blink periodically when i hold down the power and volume up/down, but still unresponsive.
The only other alternative is to send the phone back for repair, though I'm not sure what the repair should be.
Has anyone experienced this? Any suggestions?????
i think its best to send to for a repair.
If you're rooted, you can download quick reboot from Play store, I think it has switch off option, but be AWARE that then you wouldn't be able to switch phone on again unless it will be repaired by PC Companion

I'd take it to repair. I don't think it's a software problem.
If you switch it off now via an app and take it to repair they might say you bricked it. Just leave it on to prove everything else is working fine.

Hello there
I am currently having an issue with my Optimus G screen. When i rebooted the phone / power off, the backlight won't turn on. But after a few tries / sometimes even just clicked the power button to wake it up after waiting for few minutes, the backlight goes to normal (and if i never power off this thing then the issue seems to disappear). I believe this is a software issue. I am currently running on LG stock software.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem or at least tell me the method to be able to get the backlight back always? I don't wanna always face this issue if i power off this thing.
FYI, when the backlighting is not on i have tried to scroll the screen brightness to the max from settings but to no avail. Only with keep re-trying to power up for few times then i am able to get the backlight back on.
Thanks in advance!
I have the same problem... You fixed that ?

I tested all roms for e975 . backlight working only Epsilon , Pacman 4.3 and Omni rom 4.4. Try it's working!
any updates for other people having this trouble?
Seem to be a weakness for LG phones...
Did someone fix this backlight bug?
I just received my Z1C and I've been having lots of touch screen problems.
When I get to the unlock screen, a lot of times nothing will register on the touch screen. I have to push the power button to turn the screen on and off to get the touch screen to register, and a lot of the time I have to turn the screen on and off more than once to get it to work.
Another issue I'm having is in the settings menu. The top portion of the screen doesn't register any touches. For example, when I tap on the Wifi settings, nothing happens. I have to pull down the screen like half a centimeter, then tapping Wifi will work. This is so frustrating...
Is there any way to fix this without rooting, unlocking bootloaders, or installing a custom rom?

already tried a hard reset ?
Yes. I've done a factory reset, and nothing has changed. Nothing registers on the unlock screen when I touch it. I have to turn the screen on and off multiple times to get it to work.
I am using the free screen protector that came with the phone. I doubt that's the issue though.
This can't be normal. I'm thinking I just got a lemon...

if youre done a factory reset and the problem persist im pretty much sure its a hardware problem...
anyway, go to about -> diagnostic and make the touchscreen test.
any issues there?
if i were you, i would reinstall the firmware using SUS to be 100% sure its HW problem.
Already you try a hard reset. I think it is your harware problem. If you have a warranty you can go customer care. I am sure they solve your problems.
not working at all
Hi guys, my diplay is also down - broken - and i have a gesture lock on. I can not unlock the screen. How can I perform a hard reset without touching a display? I was searching whole internet for two days and nothing helped.
If I connect phone to the PC, it must be unlocked.
I need some files from internal storage :/
So my phone was in my pocket and it was getting hot so i took it out, and saw it on the boot animation. I left it and it didn't go past this boot screen so i held in the power button to restart it, and it restarted. Only when i turned it on, my 4G plan was active, and I could no longer use the notification pull down bar. I can swipe down from the top once, but not a second time to access quick settings. Also my circle and square (home and multitask) buttons are not working, the phone vibrates when i touch them but nothing happens, only the triangle (back) button works. On the lock screen, there is no longer an option to swipe right for the camera, and double pressing the home button to activate the camera does nothing, it just turns the display on and off. I have tried putting the phone into safe mode to see if an app was causing the problem, but the problem persists, when i turned my phone back on normally, the widgets on my home screen had disappeared. I tried switching accounts to the guest account but it says 'switching to guest' and then seems to fail to switch to the guest account and quickly says 'switching to (main account name)', before returning to my main account. Any ideas, I really need the problem fixed, thanks in advance!
stock rom??
my advice if you cant fix it try to do a factory reset do it like your last resource cause it wipes all data
another advice you should always have a backup you never know when **** like this happens
Thanks for the reply.
Yeah I am running stock ROM, so strange that this has happened.
I am struggling to backup photos etc as i would usually enable usb debugging and just click and drag the folders over to my PC, but it says on my settings page that 'developer options are not available to this user', so I am having to use another photo backup website, which is annoying.
This happened to be when I manually updated from MMB29Q to MHC19J without flashing MMB29V first. Only solution was to boot into TWRP to backup my files and then factory reset.

Good night, I was listening to music on youtube on my Mi A2 Lite 4GB Ram / 64GB storage and when I was tapping the screen to exit youtube the smartphone did not respond anymore, it crashed on the home screen, touching the screen it does nothing, not it releases the access to my security pattern, does not slide the screen to unlock, I pressed the restart button, it restarts, but it does not give access to anything, it is on the home screen without being able to access anything, someone could help me in this situation, what to do? Is there a way to fix it?
Try to press and hold the power off menu and choose safe mode. If the device works normally in safe mode, it should be a software problem with one of your apps.
Edit: Do you use any custom launcher?
