Before someone says it....i did some searching and no one else has posted this issue (at least i didnt find it).
My Captivate power button has just stopped working. Its stock ROM rooted with Launcher Pro. Tried to unroot with super one click and still doesnt work. Kinda out of ideas.....any help would be greatly appreciated.
You might have just broke the button, also Try flashing back to stock, that might fix it

Well this is a known issue...kinda... Not to flame you but this should be in q&a... If your under warranty you might want to get fixed soon cuase I heard some people say that
Out start messing up and gives out. Fyi warranties will be going out soon, so you might wasn't to do sooner then later. Good luck

There have been tons of threads like this. Don't believe you searched. Take it back for warranty and next time post in q&a.

This issue seems to go waaaay back. "An issue with CWR" is all I've found....
Anyone know of a fix? Searched and searched. Can't post on the TB dev forum yet...
thanks!

Its not really a very big deal. All you have to do when that happens is push the power button once more and it will just boot up

If you searched you would of found five threads on the TB forum alone about this
Its a HTC built thing in most HTC phones as a safeguard. What happens if you break the volume rocker? Well your screwed into getting into recovery ... Wait! U can force it into recovery by doing that

Search, I did. As I said I did. Answers I did not find.
I should have been more specific. I want to charge the TB with power off...
...and my phone is rooted. Perhaps it's not a bug w/ CWR after all... just a lovely safeguard...

Assuming you are rooted, since it doesn't happen on un-rooted Thunderbolts. As previously stated, hopefully it's just a matter of time and code to resolve it.
Yes, this was recycled from one of the other threads.

Ahhh. It's all in the search terms. I had originally spotted it in that very thread....then started searching under "bump charge" or some combo that didn't bring thread up. Various iterations of CWR, etc.......head.....feeling.......thick....today..
Thanks much for lead...

Try going into your camera and taking a picture. Don't ask me why, but for some reason this works. And it worked for me.
I'm in the same boat. Any suggestions?
I am on 1.12.30 and I now have the same issue.
Sent from my I897 using xda premium
I also had this issue I don't have a solution but if you do manage to get the screen up by some means I would suggest remapping the power button to one of the volume keys at least temporarily if you're rooted. You can either do it manually with root explorer or this app- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850464 This has worked fine for me on every rom up until ICS.

haha that's exactly what I said when I first read it. but I wasn't joking - it actually works haha. glad it helped!
Same thing happened to me after I moved to Miui 1.12.23. Ive done lots of searching and everyone just says its a broken button. I find it awfully coincidental. I have since moved to cm7 nightly 181 (i think). And the problem carried over. Not sure a fix. CM has a feature to have the vol buttons wake the screen which has been great. I am still able to use the power button in recovery so I dont know what the deal is or the fix....
the camera thing worked but only temp.
okay, so the tittle says it itself. but the normal screen works. :\ is the keys that don't do anything. "home, Back, search and menu" everything works flawlessly, but this keys just wont respond. the light turns on every time i touch the screen but when i touch any of the bottom keys. it just doesn't do anything. any one have any suggestions? that could help me .. ive done factory resets twice and the hard reset also. would flashing a rom fix this problem?
Doesn't hurt to try. Do a backup and re flash rom or a different rom if problem is consistent than it might be hardware

Thanks for your quick reply tomorrow morning i'll do that. I have to figure out,how to flash a rom. I have not yetrooted the phone or Flashed any rom. If flashing rooms don't work, would replacing the screen, lens or digitizer do anything??
Sent from my MB525 using XDA
Forgot to mention, did you try rebooting and/or hard reset?? Well before you start messing with it, is it still under warranty? If so send it in. Wait till tomorrow like you said maybe another person might have a better answer. If you haven't rooted your phone then you should Imo. Best thing a g2x can get is a custom rom! You will be very impressed. It may be
Sent from my LG-P999
i think i mentioned it on the first post. yes i have done a hard reset and I've done the "pull out the battery, take the sim card out and the Sd card and just turn it on with just the battery. and i believe is not. this phone has been around for a while and like i said is my friends. I wouldn't know if it is but I'll ask him when i get a chance.
It may be the digitizer I don't know for sure I'll actually do some research cause kinda interesting...
I want to go with you needing a new digitizer.
if not find an ICS launcher type thing it'll put the onscreen keys lol. I couldn't much especially on either the G2X nor European variant O2X... and I got bored reading about people spilling water, so make sure it doesn't have water damage other then that... new digitizer.
any suggestion would be appreciated!! I'm sure this phone is not under warranty, so replacing the digitizer wouldn't be a problem for me. at this moment I'm installing ClockworkMod, do any of you know which Rom is the best, as of in "stable/No Problems/Fast"?
Edit: Just Flashed CM7.1.0.1 to my phone and no luck at all. seems like I'm going to have to buy a new digitizer. Hopefully that solves the problem.
You can use the app, Button Saviour.

Well the manufacturer I bought it from is in china and I live in the states so its going to take a few weeks to get here. But as soon as I replace the old digitizer with the new one I will post the results here.

While you're at it, may as well make a video/pic tutorial.
I know the aokp ICS rom has a navigation bar that puts a Home, Back, and Menu button on the screen for people that don't have physical buttons. I'm not sure if other ICS roms for the g2x keep this feature. This may work as a temp solution until your new digitiser arrives.

There are plenty of videos/tutorials how to open the phone and replace the digitizer on YouTube.
@linelock, Thanks for your suggestion. but sadly the phone's digitizer/screen got cracked somehow while it was in my backpack, :\ so now I'm just waiting for the one I ordered since the touchscreen doesn't work at all... For now I'm just using this defy..
Sent from my MB525 using XDA
As far as I know, manufacturer warranties is 1 year, depending on when the phone was first sold...don't know if you'd go that way. I don't think it applies to secondhand phones, but some have tried it and it worked.
As far as tutorials on youtube, I found this was the most comprehensive.

digitizer came in just a few hours ago, i managed to replace it and now everything works!!! I AM HAPPY!!!. so to answer some Users questions, yes replacing the digitizer did fix the Issue!!
Ok, Hey Everyone, I'm kinda new to these forums, I have a question, one that has been bugging me a while now.
First off I had a cyanogenmod rom, I think it was 6.1. Then after a while I decided to Un-Root my G1, and go back to stock, so I did. But when I went back to stock I noticed that my camera would always force closes, I can't get into it. It happens all the time.
Then I tried Rooting again, and I flashed this rom called "GinSense" (a very fast and stable rom) by Rushness, But still my camera force closes. I really do not now why because it can't really be my kernal (which sometimes causes camera to force close) because when I un-rooted it would have been back to stock also.
Please I hope someone can help me, its really got me confused, so I turned to you guys.
I hope this way the right place for my post.
Get a new phone
But not knowing the exact procedure that you used to go back to stock, you still might have not flashed the kernel or something else could be wrong. I would try using the instructions here. If you have already tried that, it wouldn't hurt to try it again.
If that doesn't work, when the camera force closes, were you able to at least get into the camera app for a few seconds and see if the camera was actually working before it FC'ed? I know with my G1 (long long ago), I had an issue with the camera and it was the connection on the sensor going to the board.
You might be able to have better luck posting here. I see another user has posted about his camera not working either here. Search next time, it really comes in handy.
Thanks

Ok, Thanks for your reply. I will try the instruction on that link and post back. No when I enter my camera I see nothing but a black screen then it tells me to force close about 5 seconds later.
Edit : BTW Can a dev move my post or something, as well I don't want to get hated on for creating a second post about the same thing? xD

Yeah, I was thinking on doing this, but for me that rom goes unstable after about a month or 2, so its just a waste of time.
This rom I have now runs so smooth I don't really want to change
Ok, So after un-rooting, re-rooting, trying different kernals, and everything, it still doesn't work.
I think it must be hardware.
What rom are you running?

I'm running GinSense 1.0, but after Un-Rooting and it still not working, So I currently have my phone opened up infront of me, to see if there is anything wrong I'm video taping it xD I don't know why.
Is there any more custom roms? Maybe they are just buggy

OMG, It actually worked, So it was a hardware problem, I think it may have been a lose cable, because I pulled the camera cable out and put it back in. Couldn't believe it actually worked.

Hello, I have an HTC inspire and been rooted for a few months. The volume+ has been very glitchy most of the time not working. Even tried a custom Rom and still bad issue. This noting I re locked the phone and put it back to the way it was when I got it. So far today the volume button has worked every time with no problem. My question when rooting the phone is their a chance that rooting caused the hardware issue, that it corrupted the software enlighten to make it glitchy in that way. Is their a way to confirm that. Just wondering because I hate haveing this un-rooted phone lol.
Custom ROMs would not affect your hardware buttons unless you installed an app that messed with the volume.
I really didn't think it was the Rom I was wondering more about the rooting its self. thanks for the reply.
Rooting the phone doesnt affect the volume rocker...you can not break physically the phone from software...

Guys I didn't not mean physical damage. I meant software get corrupted some how, by the rooting process. Phone has been relocked for past two days. I have shut off phone twice in a row, tried everything I could think of to get the vol+ button not to work and it works every time. No matter how hard I push on it. No I didn't try to smash it bit still no matter what it works.
Well volume is messing up now again and its un-rooted. So its def a hardware issue. Sucks because now I have to send it it to be repaired but good because I can re-root it when I get it back lol.
