Broken Power Button and WM 6.1 Help

nicematt said:
So I dropped my dash and it landed perfectly on the power button. I wasn't even that far, I was sitting down and it slid out of my lap as I was sitting down on a small chair.. maybe 2ft drop at most. Well it pushed the power button too far in and it ****ed up something to where I cannot use that button. I have, however, stuck a paperclip in the right position or the right "button" on the phone's motherboard/chip and it has turned off/on.. but that's a gamble (I don't know how I hit the right spot, but I've done it twice).
Is there any way I can fix this? I know the warranty will not cover it.. so I'm thinking about opening up the phone myself, but I don't know what I would do from there.
Also, if I wanted to flash the new 6.1 ROM, does it require use of this button? I've been too afraid to attempt this new ROM as I don't want to get stuck in a situation where I can't turn my phone off.
*Currently I'm using a program on my phone to perform a "soft reset" when I need to restart my phone.
Thanks for any help!

Oops, double post. Sorry.

You don't have to use your power button to flash a new OS. However if you run into problems, you might need to use to turn your phone back on. It's a gamble.... it all depends if you're up to it or not!

Ok, how about opening it up and fixing it? Is it possible to open it up and re-seat the power button so that it works again? Should I buy a new button from someone with parts?

You get a whole new case, which I'm sure comes with a button... or Try www.cnn.cn for parts. Or open the phone and see if you can fix it, maybe it's just an easy fix.

[Q] Battery usage display issue?

Is anyone else having the problem where your phone only shows "Voice Calls" taking 100% of the battery usage after taking a call?
Ive hard reset the phone twice and before i make a call there are many things in the Battery Use fiels like Android system, Screen display, Music, WIFI, etc but after i take a call they all disapear and only "Voice Calls" is listed.
Its not bothering me or anythin gbut i would like to know if anyone else have this issue as i like to track whats using the most power throughout the day.
Can you post a screen shot of your battery usage screen? Hold power button and then press the home button to take a screenshot.

Thank you for confirming, i was about to hard reset my phone again because i thought disabling all the bloatware and installing a few apps that needed root caused my phone to go nuts.
Thank you again.
Edit:
Looks like mine worked it self out. After installing Temple run 2 and gaming for about an hour straight last night i decided to check again before i went to sleep and it fixed itself.

[Q] Hard bricked?

Ok, so two days ago I woke up to a dead phone.. Plugged my phone up, and it turned on by itself. The phone comes up to the lockescreen, but the power menu appears on it's own, and I realize that the phone is thinking that the power button is being held down. The phone continues to think the power button is being held down, however it's not stuck, the button can click just fine. At this point, my phone is stuck restarting itself so I take out the battery and set it aside for the day. I get home and try again, everything is normal, but the power button doesn't work. I get up the next morning and the phone is dead(presumably) and I plug it up to harge, however the battery animation and led light that usually turn on when I connect the phone don't show up! The phone doesn't power on, it doesn't charge(from what I see) and the power button is broken >_> I am rooted. I have CM10 installed, however I haven't modded in a few months, so I can't see what the issue is. Everything was working fine 3 days ago, however i think my phone is hard bricked.. Is there a way to get out of this? I have insurance, but my phone is rooted, so do you think sprint will accept the phone and give me a replacement? Can I unrooot the phone somehow before I turn it in?
Thanks for reading, any help is very appreciated

Insurance?

With sprint, you have the option to buy a protection plan, but they only cover certain things, and I don't know if they accept rooted devices

Nexus has grainy screen

Hey all; I got a Nexus 7 this past December and everything was working great until yesterday.
I took it out of my school bag and when I pressed the wake button this happened:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now whenever I wake up my Nexus the same thing happens. Sometimes it goes back to normal after a few seconds, but it continually freezes or has random slow downs.
I reset the device and erased all my data and whatnot, but still the same has happened.
Any suggestions?

What ROM are you running, stock or custom? Try reflashing a ROM (let us know if you aren't familiar with that) in case something's corrupted. Hopefully it isn't something with hardware.

This should be a hardware failure.Take it to the service.

@Pandae: Everything was stock. @GeoVali99: Correct-o, sir!
Ended up being a hardware issue so I'm getting it repaired.
I appreciate the words though!

Hi!
I've got the same problem.
Can someone tell me how to fix that Problem by my self?
I have no guaranty left...
Thanks!

Not a big deal. The LCD is fine. What happened in my case when I got exactly the same screen is that the amber ribbon (LCD to motherboard) seated wrong, and I bent a pin on the motherboard connector out of shape. You open the back cover and reseat it, but make sure you do not damage the pins. In other words do it very gently, do not force anything, and monitor it all with the help of a magnifying glass.

(solution) Ghost touch, ramdom turning on and off screen

You need to make sure its not app, rom, kernel, related, try booting in safe mode to see if problems persits if no then is app related.
If you wipe and reinstal rom and problem persist then this might be help full
Before anything else i sugest you look for zenfone 2 dissambly vids so you get to know what you are going to be doing, it is easy.
Before telling you the solution let me explain my phone symptoms:
1) Ghost touchs, be aware if you have selected show cursor coordinstes or show touch, much of the times this ghost touch doesnt appear.
2) Phone screen starts turning on and off by itself. This is very annoying I tried turning off doble touch to wake but this didnt help.
So what is the solution?
You need to open the back of the phone unscrew everything and then in the charging usb port you need to make sure that the back part of this pice doesnt make contact with the metal back plate. What I did is to use an electrical pice of tape that cut. And simple as that my phone working normal again.
Remeber to screw everything tight as possible.
Pd: i didnt took any pics but im show what part of the phone im referring
Hope this helps have a great day
