Hi all,
My XDA IIs works well before. But few days ago the Power button doesnt work properly, it can turn on the phone, hold to turn off the back light, but I can't use it to turn my phone screen off like before. Anyone has same problem ?
Can you see any part of the screen? It might just be that the backlight adjustments are set too low when the unit isn't cradled. You might be able to see the screen in daylight.. or maybe it was inside your home. I forgot where I was at when it happened to me. In anycase, if you can see a bit of images on your screen, go into the Backlight properties and change the setting to your liking.
Good luck..
The problem is i can just press the power button to turn off my phone BEFORE (the screen is completly off), and NOW it doesnt work at all ! When my phone was off, I can press the Power button to turn it on, or when I hold it for few seconds the back light will be turned off, but press once to turn off. I dont know why, if somthing wrong with the Power button it should be doesnt work at all, that's mean i cannot turn on my phone as well. But other functions of the Power button are still work well, except the 'Turn off' :roll:
power off doesn't work anymore
I have the same problem here. I can't use the power button to power off my qtek 9090!!
i can use the power button to turn my pda on and to switch the background light on and off - so the "hardware side" of the power button is working.
however, i can't use the power button to turn off the device. it's very annoying, because i can't put it in my pocket after finishing a call :-(
this should be some sort of a software problem - so i hard resetted my device (a couple of times) - but that didn't help!
can anyone help?
thanks,
lorenz
the ba doesn't turn off it is always on staand by mode. ->settings -> system -> button lock
this will stop any missed call because when the ba is in standby the power button is the only one to work
power on is no problem. i can't put my BA into standby mode. if i press the power button while the BA is turned on, nothing will happen. the screen will stay on, the background light stays on.
i have no way to put it into stand-by with the power button!
try this and see if it works. it's a software app that wil rest, shut down, and turn the screen off. just copy it to your BA temp directory and install it.

power button problem
Does anyone solve the problem???
Had the same problem...
I had the same problem going on for about two weeks or so...never changed anything and it went away all by itself.
The problem has not come back now in over 4 months.
Sure would love to know what the problem was tho...
Greetings,

Power Off does not work
Add my name to people with this problem.
The only event I can link it to is this: I deleted my Motorola Bluetooth headset and installed a Logitech headset. I noticed the problem (can't turn OFF with POWER BUTTON) soon after that.
same problem for me ..... someone must know !!!!
I think it is a hardware problem. The contact is not making cleanly. Disassemble and spray time, perhaps.
It's a standard push switch, easy enough to replace, I occasionally list themon ebay but any phone repairier should have them in stock.

i had same problem yesterday afternoon, but it is ok now. recovered by himself
Write again in two weeks and let us know if it is still healthy. In my case, anintermittent problem became continuous.
Can't turn the screen on after pressing power button
I have a problem with my Bell Atrix. After pressing power button to lock the screen, i can't wake up the screen up by pressing that button again. Could anyone tell me how to fix it pls.
Hi
I am not able to get the device to go into sleep mode (blank display) by touching the power button unless its at the lock screen. Depressing the power button does nothing, other than to activate the quick menu unless pressed for a few seconds. The only time I am able to get the device to sleep via the power button is when the screen has timed out (based on settings) and before the screen in unlocked, otherwise I just have to wait for the screen to timeout.
I cant seem to find anything that would prevent the device going to sleep via the power off button, any suggestions?
Does this happen all the time or only while the phone is charging, as there is a setting that keeps the screen awake while the phone is charging:
Settings>Applications>Development
happens all the time, and I am aware of the stay awake feature during charging
If you're using a custom rom it may have something to do with that. Maybe the key isn't mapped or set correctly. Other then that, that's a pretty odd issues.

Sounds like some buggy program is keeping a wake_lock longer than it should. (The way games and ebook readers keep the screen lit/phone awake).
Had you installed anything new before this started?
This is frustrating. If I wake my phone by pressing the Home button i get taken to my designated home screen and not to the open app. The same does not happed if i wake the phone with the power button. This really annoys me in situations where i have the phone on a desktop as i have to use two hands to wake the phone!
Is there a way to change the action of the home button in this situation?
UPDATE: Problem solved. Enable a lockscreen! That was easy
HI guys,
My power button is not functioning right, so I want to disable it. I thought that there is a file for the power button mapping in system/usr/keylayout from other device thread, but i can't find power button related file. only soft buttons.
Can someone please help?
Thanks.

Now how would you plan on turning on the phone with no power button???

I partially solve it. It's only disabled when the OS is booted up, so when the phone is off, I can still use the power button. The file I edited is Generic or something in System/usr/keylayout
But another problem is that long press (10+ sec) reboot is still not disabled so sticking power button issue was still annoying me.
However, I kind of got the power button fixed now after keep hitting the power button a lot hard. But I have a feeling it's gonna be back again soon..
Oh btw, CM12 has screen on with volume button feature and double tap notification bar for screen off. So No problem there.

And Cm12 has home button to wake. Only problem can be it wakes up in your pocket sometimes. If your problem is solved, please add "[SOLVED]" to the beginning of the thread title.
Hi all,
Problem: When the phone is turned on, locking the screen works beautifully. Once the display turns off, pressing the power button doesn't do anything... for about a minute. Then the display wakes up and everything is fine again. It doesn't sound like a hardware issue, as the power button works in recovery, and to lock the screen. The screen turns on instantly in recovery and when powering on the phone, so I don't think it's the screen's problem either.
Does anyone have any ideas to fix this problem? Thanks!
