Hi guys.
I noticed a few weeks ago my power button started to work when it felt like it. Sometimes it would be fine, other times it would take about 30 presses before it registered I was attempting to use it..
Now it has completely failed.
The phone is currently off, whenever I try to press the power button it never turns on. But as soon as I attach a charger to it (AC and USB), without even pressing the power button, the phone vibrates and the google screen flashes up, but never gets past that screen.
If I hold the volume up button as I attach a charger it attempts to enter recovery/bootloader mode(?), but freezes as soon as it comes on. No buttons work and it requires a battery pull to turn it off.
The phone is also not recognised by my computer, or by odin, or anything.
Not really sure what to do. Would try and flash things back to stock, but can't find a way to do that. Not really sure it would help either?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance
Oh and I looked through current threads and searched on google but I couldn't find anyone with a similar problem :/
It seems, your power button is constantly pressed. Maybe you dropped it? You should try to carefully move the button in every direction instead of pressing it, hopefully it clicks back to its right place. Other option is taking it back to the shop, and get it repaired. It's a hadware problem, so you won't be able to use neither recovery nor the ROM. The bright side is, that probably it's an easily repairable problem, and won't take too long

I was on an ICS ROM, can't remember which one, but the button started playing up when I was on a GB ROM..
Here's hoping the button just suddenly starts working though.. :L
Cheers for the reply
Just in case anyone else has this problem. My situation looked horrible.. but I brought a USB Jig from eBay and after months of problems. I got into recovery mode and flashed back to stock. Everything is perfect now

Though I am officially out of the Nexus S great community (mine was sold) but a great lesson I learned here is to BABY the power button...I also disabled the screen lock so I can get screen to wake with vol rocker.... take care of the power button folks on Nexus S lol

Stock ICS has a feature to wake the screen using the vol rocker.
And you can search the market for "Lock screen widget" to shut the screen.
In this case you minimize the need for the power button..That what I was doing..

Hi there,
Sorry but I think I finally found the right forum for this and I wanted to take one more stab before kissing this phone goodbye.
I have a Rogers Galaxy SGH-i727R. About three weeks ago, the phone started re-starting on it's own. I though maybe it was a sticky power key and had that replaced. The problem persisted. I then noticed that it was primarily upon receiving text messages that the phone would reboot. So it seemed it was a software issue. I am running the stable build of CM9.
Yesterday the phone rebooted and never got off the angry alien screen. I pulled the battery, charged it etc and still could not get it to fully boot up. I left it for over an hour. I finally decided to call it quits and re-flash the phone. Problem is, it will not boot into recovery at all. When I hold down Vol + - and Power, it jsut goes into a loop of vibrating every three seconds until I let go and then it tries a normal boot again. Once, I briefly got a screen saying I was trying to install custom software and to press volume up to do so, but before I could hit volume up, the phone cycled off.
I should also mention that the four buttons on the bottom of the screen do not work. I accidentally sliced the wires on the side of the phone when opening it up. I use a software button saver widget to access their functions. I wonder if that issue is related....
Thanks for any advice. I would like to get into recovery so I can load a new ROM or a stock ROM.
If you haven't ventured there yet in this forum I'd recommend Vincom's roundup on just about everything http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652398. I don't know if it will help much in your situation but it's worth a look. Also, you may want to research usb jigs, not sure if they will work with our devices though ... research is the key word.

All I can tell you is that your problem sounds exactly like a stuck power button. I know you replaced it but all the symptoms you point out suggest stuck power button. Maybe try cleaning it again?

But if it were a stuck power button it would not stay on the loading screen indefinitely, no? If I hold down the power button while booting, it will turn the phone off.
Hold vol +- and pwr until it vibrates let go of pwr continue to hold vol +-. You were letting go of all of them at once going by your described method.

****. I am a total moron. The phone still reboots after receiving a text but I was able to boot into recovery. Thanks.
I have been rooted and using various roms for over half a year. I was using my phone and than my power button stopped functioning out of nowhere. I took my battery out and put it back in and it turned back on but the power button would sometimes work and sometime not. So I decided to reflash the rom so when i clicked the reboot button in my toggles and told to to go into recovery it turned off and did not go into recovery mode but instead it flashed the samsung logo briefly and said recovery booting at the top but it does not boot into recovery. I took the battery out and put it back in and it does the same thing just flashes the samsung logo once with the recovery booting and than goes dark. All this happened in 1 hour.
So i cant boot into recovery or get into download mode, and odin does not recognize that there is a device connected.
Help if you can.
So no lights at all? Take battery out. Hook phone into computer. What happens? Does you computer recognize it?

Sometimes when I plug my charger in or plug it into computer the orange charging light flashes for a couple seconds and than nothing, and no the computer does not recognize a device. I tried charging the phone all night still nothing.

Unfortunately no. Plugged it into computer, press power button and it vibrates one second and charging LED (red) flashes once and thats it. Nothing shows up on device manager.
Plugged it into computer and turned ODIN on... no result. It doesnt recognize that there is a phone connected.
Guys please help a guy out? ive gone through so much posts lately on Google, please if anyone knows even a hint of something that could help please mention it
Thanks ahead of time
Tried another S3 battery, maybe that was the problem but no. Pressed power button, Samsung logo flashes for less then a second. Then everything goes blank.
Next time i hit power button with this battery from another S3, all that happens is that it vibrates, the red LED flashes once and thats it.
Have also tried all combinations of Power+Vol+Home. They get only a vibrate from the phone as if only hitting the power button.
So you need to reboot into recovery but it won't.. Hmm my volume button is broken so I downloaded Quick Boot from the store and it let's you boot into recovery pretty easily. If it does the same thing you described then.. Dunno.. Flash a new recovery or bootloader with Casual one click root unlock and recovery. Hopefully you saved an image file on your pc.

it sounds like the power button is your problem, like its stuck down. Can you tell if its sticking out about normal or does it seem shallow(like depressed a bit)?
edit:
I would try to place the phone on a good flat, hard surface and then try to boot into recovery and just barely put pressure on the power button in the process. Not trying to sound smart mouth but hold vol+ with left thumb and use any right finger to hold home then use left pointer to press power. Thus you can use just the minimum amount of pressure on the power button.
If you get any further than you have been , I would bet on the button being bad. If not it may have been a partition messup. I was using the trim feature and mine goofed up the partitions and had to repartition in odin and everything. If it isnt the button find a jtag and have it done.
Good luck, Hope you can get it fixed.

Ok I did that but no results...
But I did figure something out that I didn't know: ok so when the phone is lying flat on its back and I tap it moderately 3 times very quickly the phone vibrates once and flashes just the Samsung logo for a split second.... That happens without even pressing any of the buttons. And then everything goes black. Sometimes it will do the vibrate and Samsung logo and then the "Samsung Galaxy S3" logo will show for couple seconds. Then like always it goes black.
So this must mean some of the hardware inside is disrupted. Its been dropped many times on ground. Never cracked screen but it must be the hardware inside. Does that sound logical? Or does someone else have a theory?

Of course it sounds logical. You really should have mentioned the "dropped many times" right up front. No doubt it is physical damage. sucks sir. in the future, invest in a good case if you tend to drop your phone often....just sayin. or learn to not drop it? i don't know. sorry about your luck sir.

sounds like power button is broken, only you know if your comfortable taking it apart. But there are videos that are good. If you think you can what do you have to lose? It ain't working now so what's the difference. I would look for some teardown videos and power button replacement vids and see if you want to try. Find out how much a button would be and then decide.

Hey Guys -
You guys were all so helpful last time that I had to come back because I'm at my wits end with this problem I'm having.
I've been running stable cyanogen for a while now and, all of a sudden, it seems as if the power button on my phone won't work. It's more of an annoyance than anything really, the screen sometimes flashes on or "sleeps" by itself. At one point the problem actually cured itself and I could use the power button again, but then it all messed up again. Currently can't use the power button at all. Seems like a software issue more than hardware though.
So anyways, I'm trying to flash a new rom on (figuring that might fix the power button issue) and I just cannot get into TWRP. I'm sure it has to do with the power button, but the farthest I can get it to is that blue screen that says "Team Recovery", it never fully goes into TWRP though.
Any ideas? Do I have to act as if its soft-bricked and go back to stock software?
Thanks in advance!
no ideas at all?
Probably best to Odin stock. Especially since you can't get into TWRP. If you want you could try reflashing TWRP. You can do it via GooManager or Odin. But it really sounds like a hardware issue.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
Just had the same problem. Since about October 1st had the same exact power button problems. Had a warranty at bestbuy though so am getting a new one shortly. If you have a warranty Odin back to stock and bring it in. Just be ready for one hell of a night getting it back to stock. If the phone reboots after Odin it might go into bootloop because of the power button problem. I had to continually bang it on a table while holding down and home for hours.
Make sure you use the "Official VRALG1 4.0.4" from here under section 5 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709 . I used VRBMF1 thinking I could save myself some update time. That was the biggest time waste because getting back to download mode with the bad power button was brutal.
Also, just remember if the phone turns off a good amount of bashing it on a table works to jar the power button sometimes. Around the power button of course. Good luck.
Lol, just posted this same thing in anther thread... "quickboot" from the store will get you into recovery.

I'm ready to throw my phone out the second story window.
When I press the power button to turn off the phone's screen, it goes dim then comes back on again. I can't get the screen to go completely dim until the 15sec of inactivity are up. I was so fed up I was ready to return my phone to stock but it kept turning off when I started the phone in download mode. I have a hard time restarting the phone and it's not rebooting into recovery mode unless I manually hold down all three buttons.
I've tried flashing different ROMs, different GAPPS, wiping, and formatting. I've even formatted the SD card twice.
I'm in a real clusterfrick. Any help is welcome! Thank you!!!

Looks like you have done everything possible to remedy the situation and if going back to original factory stock doesn't help, maybe the phone is the issue, not the software. Did you just go back to stock 4.3 or did you try to go back to 4.1.2?
I have the same thing man. Your power button is loose. You need to (and I'm not joking) slam your phone down on the power button. Like find a corner on a table and slam the power button down on it a few times. Worked for me.

I was running the latest stock image (MMB29V) since yesterday on my Nexus 5 and today I used the Nexus root toolkit as always to root the device. Well TWRP flashed once and it said it copied the root files to the device. I had it in my pocket for a few minutes and after that it went into a crazy constant boot loop. It will stop eventually but if I keep the charging cable in it won't stop. I cannot get into recovery because I get the "Start" screen but I cannot advance because it reboots too quickly. I have found a few you tube videos where people push the power button like they are playing the old school game "Track and Field" but this does not work for me nor do I think it's a power button issue. I think I stupidly might have hit some kind of button combo while I'm my pocket believe it or not. I pulled the cover off and was hoping to pull the battery but Im not a fan of doing that since its not a simple task. Any help appreciated. This phone is dead to me and that is NOT good. I need to get this working.
TIA

It quickly restarts. I want to say its not a problem with the power button because it has been fine for a few years now w/out issue and only happened after rooting earlier today. Right now the only way I can even get the phone to turn on is the plug the charging cable in and then the restarting commences. Does it sound like a power button issue? Possibly but its hard to believe, I dunno. Waiting on a call back from Google tech support to see if they are any help.
It could be a power button issue. You'll have to remove the motherboard to find out.
Once removed from the housing, quickly press and release the power button several times in a row using more pressure than normal. While the motherboard is out of the phone, clean around the power button with pure alcohol.

Did NOT want to screw up my phone so I sent it to LG. Took a few weeks but it cost me 78.00 total for them to repair the power button issue. Whatever they replaced also fixed the low volume issue I was experiencing as well so it worked out.
