I dont know it it is a software issue to what. Last night I put my phone in my pocket. I pulled it out and the screen was a frozen white noise image. I dont know it my phone is locked up cause I used the revolution rom or the screen went bad. Any ideas?
I will try to add a phone. I currently am using my old pantech c300 due to lack of back up phones.

Before I offer any advice, what have you done so far to try and remedy this (i.e. battery pull, reformat phone, bang it on a desk...)? I just need to know what you've done before I try and offer you the same solution...
WHat I have tried
I have currently tried battery pull. Restore via power/volume down. I just tried to restart again for giggle. my bt headset did say phone 2 connected.
currently this is what the screen looks like,.
You can just text me with advice if it would be easier. thanks again.
Where you overclockign at all? GPU,CPU or OV~UV gpu failure could do that
No overclocking I know of. Heck I'd stock if I could get it back

I'm not sure exactly how this applies to HTC phones, but for Samsung phones, the 3-button boot into recovery usually clears these kinds of issues right up!
Once you get into recovery, we clear data, cache and dalvik cache, potentially restoring your phone back to stock condition. Yes, you lose all your stuff, but whatever was causing the malfunction is usually gone at that point. There's a possibility it could just be how your ROM was interacting with your lovely manufactured equipment (YMMV - Your Mileage May Vary, meaning not all phones are built the same so what works for some may not work for others due to the small differences in every manufactured part...)
Now as far as your screen goes, did you drop it or anything like that? Do you think this was physically damaged while in your pocket at all? Does it get pretty hot when in your pockets or was it hot this time when you pulled it out?
Not hot. It wont go into boot loader

I followed this. Several time. I changed batteries. changed sd card. and left the battery out for 30. Still not working.
1. Remove the battery, wait for a few seconds, then reinsert the battery.
2. Press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then briefly press the POWER button.
3. Wait for the screen with the three Android images to appear, and then release the VOLUME DOWN button.
4. Press VOLUME DOWN to select FACTORY RESET, and then press the POWER button."
So the phone works.just had the alarm go off. If that's any help.

It was found out to be the screen. I had a friend mess with it and he said it just came back on. he made it stock again and it goes out Monday for warranty. I gotta pay for shipping but its alot cheaper than a new phone.
Interesting. Who manufactured the screen? There seem to be a lot of issues with the Sensations display, it would be cool if we could isolate it to one of the two manufacturers.
Might want to change your title to reflect "[SOLVED]" somewhere in it, also.
Sorry I couldn't help more, but hardware isn't my thing

When you say he messed with it, what exactly did he do?
I quoted wdhat he said. sorry for the vague wording. I believe he took the back off and suspended it upside down from teh back for an hour then restarted it 15 times and it came back on. after that he went put it all back together. From what he said if you press on certain parts of the screen it goes out. but then others if comes back. Similar to a teeter totter. as he put it. I am guessing a ribbon has come loose or something
i know there is a setting to use the volume rocker buttons as unlock buttons, but that does not always work, but besides that is there anyway on the g2x to lock the screen but not have to use any button to unlock it? any app that will let you swipe a pattern to unlock the phone when the screen is off?

How would this be possible? If the screen is off, you can't use it, and thus you can't input anything, and if you can't use any buttons, then there's no way you can unlock it. What are you thinking about, voice recognition?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA
no, i still want the phone to lock, i just dont want to have to push any buttons to get it to unlock, for the screen to come back on.
for example, i had a nokia nuron that had a slide switch on the side that would lock the phone, it turned the touchscreen off so you didnt accidentally start something. but it also had a screen timeout that would just blank the screen, then you could touch it and it would come back on without having to use the slide switch
i want to blank the screen without locking it. turning off screen lock you still have to use the button to turn the screen back on
I'm speechless!

This would also cause another problem. The screen being blank but still active would kill the battery really quickly.

well thats true, but it did work like that on my nokia. but really how much more battery would it use if the screen blanks but doesnt sleep? not anymore than if i was using it, probably even less

How can you lock something, and use nothing to unlock it?
For example, you use a key to lock your door, you must use a key to unlock it. Or, you can leave the door open (leave the screen blank), but risk getting robbed (battery drained). I'm sorry if the analogy is bad, what you're asking for is ridiculous.

ok, i think what im doing is confusing blanking the screen with locking the phone, 2 different things. im just concerned that button is gonna get a lot of use and wish the volume rocker wake would work better. oh well
thanks for everyone's input, was just hoping
Blanking the screen like it reduces the brightness after a while? If so, there might be an app for it, but it will definitely reduce your battery greatly.
Either way, don't worry about the button. You probably won't have the phone that long, or you'll break something different.

I looked around the forum and could not find an answer. Basically, I'm looking for the button combo that will force reboot the phone. Sometimes, I get SOD (Screen of Death) and need to reboot the phone. I want an alternative to pulling the battery.....
I did read on a website that was talking about tips and trick, hold the power button down and it will do a soft reboot. Haven't tried it though, could be bs.

It's BS.....didn't work. Anyone else know how to trigger a reboot on our phone? My old Droid Incredible did it by holding the Power, Vol Down, and Menu key (I think)....I feel like this phone should have something similar. Nobody likes pulling the battery!
If the software is truly locked up, nothing is going to force reset it except cutting off the power source (pulling the battery). Be thankful we can do that on our phones, iPhone users have been dealing with this for years and have to wait for the battery to die.

Research those 3-finger salute methods. They truly are fail safes when your phone completely locks up. Devs describe it as the end all (battery pulling replacement). Although it might be considered a hidden feature on most phones, I'm sort of surprised nobody has discovered how to do it on the S3.

Friend's iPhone locked up, power+home for 10-15 seconds restarted it without issue. Also, if it is a 4/4s/5 it is easy to take apart so you could unplug the battery from the board if you were desperate.

I second this and we'll add on my RAZR when it locked up all I had to do was hold both volume and power (I think that was out). Having said that I don't get why you wouldn't just pull the battery in this'd phone.
Sent from my SCH-I535
I could pull the battery...and currently do when my S3 freezes. Sadly, doing this is rather cumbersome for my situation. To remove the battery:
1. Remove case which is tightly bound to phone.....I foresee repeated removal will harm case.
2. Remove battery backing from phone.
3. Remove small metal disc I've placed in between phone backing and battery. This metal disc is part of a Magnetic Car Mount I use (very slick). Placement of this metal disc is specific to avoid NFC issues.
Given all that, battery removal is a total PITA. I don't think I'm alone here.......I imagine the vast majority of people would prefer a button-hold combination to force restart their phone in the event of a freeze. I believe this is the very reason the method was created. Nobody likes removing their battery....especially after knowing other phones have more elegant methods of force restarting. Furthermore, I have a strong feeling the S3 DOES HAS such ability. It is just a matter of discovering what the proper combination is.....maybe its 2-button hold.....maybe 4-button hold....I just don't know. That is why I'm here asking.
I didn't mean anything by saying that, I forget all the stuff people have on their phones because I run mine bare. I'm sure there is a way to do it just seems like no one knows it. I'll say the one or twice mines froze up it rebooted itself after a little bit.
Sent from my SCH-I535
Before I bought the GS3 I had an HTC One S and the battery wasn't able to be removed. If you held the power button for like 10+ seconds it would force reboot the same way power + home on iphone forces reboot. It seems crazy to me that you can't do that on every phone. I mean phone manufactures have to anticipate phones freezing up every once in a great while. How do they expect them to restart? Expecting a customer to remove the case and the phone backing to pull the battery seems like a terrible way to solve this.

You have to hold power, vol+- for about 5 to 10 seconds, to power down idk how to force a reboot. But this method is good enough for me. I use it all the time it works on tw and aosp Roms. Sometimes it powers down around the 5 second time and sometimes it takes longer ldk why, guess it depends on how locked up you are.

It's weird that this function would be ROM specific. I specifically remember this function was a constant across ALL ROMS on my Droid Incredible. Pisses me off I can't perform this reset on CM10....then again, its still kinda phasing bugs out..so who knows.

Interesting, I tried all of the combinations given in this thread and they did not work. Of particular importance though, this three finger salute method is still reliant on software working to control it. I don't know how it is controlled in other devices, but if the software that controls it is locked up, nothing is going to reset it except for pulling the battery.
I did it just now by just holding down the power button for about 10 seconds. I'm running slim bean rom.

Didn't work on CleanROM 5.0. I would think if there is truly a software reset on our devices, it must be controlled separately from the ROM and should be the exact same combination regardless of what ROM you are running.
So my screen died out, I feel the vibration and hear the alarms, but cant see anything. This happened shortly after I was sliding my keyboard in and out really fast. I think im just going to sell it off as parts on ebay but I want to make sure my data is off the device.
I was thinking of going to clockworkmod and resetting the phone, but there is this screen with the 3 androids on a skateboard and I dont remember which one gets me to recovery. So I need like a reference like a picture if anyone could take one or two for me. I also dont remember if which button is select, the track pad button?
Thanks- Johnny.
Sliding the keyboard in & out really fast? Were you doing a durability test or something? Anyway, I'm a bit confused. If your screen doesn't work, how do you see the 3 androids? That's your bootloader & if you see that then as far as I know, it's not your screen that is at issue.

Hold power down as well as volume down for about 3 seconds & that will put you into your bootloader. From there there is a factory reset too. Bump volume down twice and them bump your power switch. That will start the process of a Factory Reset.

A "factory reset" isn't going to repair a cable. All it will do is format your system, cache, etc. and prepare your phone to accept another operating system. If you want to do that thru recovery to make sure..... you can volume down with power to take you back to bootloader. Once sitting at "fastboot", volume down once to highlite recovery then select with power button. Once in recovery, power down twice then select with the trackpad. Once it's run there for about a minute your system should be wiped and you're ready to return it. You've NOT installed another ROM or taken yourself back to original condition though.

I couldnt factory reset it, i kept texting myself to see if it reset and it kept ringing. I tried around 20 times :\ So instead I just put 2 step verification, used a application specific password on android and hopefully the person i sold it to doesnt try to hack it. case closed i guess.
GREAT! So you messed it up yourself, did your best to make it unusable and sold it to an unsuspecting buyer. You're on the WROOOONG website then 'dude'. That's why I'm so glad I forgot to tell you how to wipe out the system. Maybe your poor "sucker" will be able to figure it out. Hopefully he will come here. Evidently, your screen was fine???
Hi,
My nexus 5 constantly reboots at the google logo. I think it is a power button problem.
I bought my nexus 5 from the google play store but I do not live in the US, so RMAing it would be difficult.
So is there any way I can fix it? I tried tapping on the power button on the mother board but it didn't help.
Thanks!

I have the same issue but I cannot get into recovery or anything else. There is not enough time before the phone reboots again. I have read of people having success but it seems rather rare. The strange thing is that I can press or tap (with luck) on the back of the phone, near the power button, and the phone will turn on. I am sure this is a hardware issue but I got mine from T-Mobile and my bootloader is unlocked and on Android 5.0. The bad thing is that I am now able to JUMP! and was looking at the Nexus 6... oh the humanity!
On an side note: When pressing on the back of the phone (see above) repeatedly I was able to get the phone to fully boot but once I quit it rebooted again. I have not been able to repeat this as of yet. I am leaving it on the charger and hoping that it will somehow right itself like other have reported... that is unless anyone has any suggestions.

I agree. I took the phone apart and messed with the components but nothing has changed. When I was able to get the phone to book all the way up "Power off" appeared as if I were pressing the button. I am not sure how to fix this.... I am sure that T-Mobile will not cover the warranty since it is unlocked.

you still can, its very simple. in fastboot.. fastboot oem lock. or if you have root, the boot unlocker for nexus devices app. you can lock or unlock the bootloader with the app, if you have root. personally, i dont think they would even know about the bootloader being unlock.

The issue is that the phone reboots about every 2 seconds making it impossible to make a connection through ADB, recovery, or anything else. I did, however, find a solution/idea on a post by "nadrojcote":
"For the last week or so my power button/lock button has been intermittent, sometimes having to hit it 5 times or so to get the screen to unlock. Yesterday it all of a sudden stopped working and I couldn't unlock.
I am making this post to share my fix I found for the problem. Seeing how my phone is not under warranty because I have already replaced the screen, I took to tearing it apart and seeing what's going on. Hoping I could order a new power button, unfortunately the button is soldered onto the main board. Upon taking it apart I realized I had put a little shim in between the power button and the plastic button in the housing as a "rattle fix". This is what I am thinking caused the problem, this caused me to be putting too much pressure on the power button and caused it to over time break apart the back of the actual buttons metal housing on the main board. I removed the shim and it still did not work. I was going to take the main board and heat it at a low heat in the oven in hopes to reseat solder points, but before I did that I tried using a fine pair of needle nose pliers to crimp the back housing of the button back together. Luckily this worked. Unfortunately I do not have pictures, but if someone else has the same issue you should be able to see what I'm referring to by comparing the power button to the volume buttons on the mainboard, there is a metal housing around the actual button that is soldered to the main board, it has a slit down the back side of it that allows it to spread apart. The volume keys should be tight.
THE PROBLEM: Power/Lock button stops working
THE CAUSE(assumed): Nexus 5 power/lock button rattle fix
THE FIX: Using needle nose pliers to crimp the metal backing of the power button housing good and tight.
I hope this helps others out in the future as I'm sure I wont be the only one with this problem."
Now, I did not have a loose power button and so did not mod it. I did however take the phone apart and pull the board out. On the back of the board, opposite of the power switch, if an aluminum(?) case which can be removed. Under this there is another aluminum housing with a circle in the middle of it. The circle was somewhat bent touching the board parts below so I carefully bent the circle up. Next I gave the power switch a few "gentle" taps and pressed the casing around the switch to hopefully make it tighter as was recommended by "nadrojcote."
As you can tell from my word use, I am no where near an expert on anything electric BUT my phone is now working. I have not put it back together yet but I am in the process of restoring it to factory and locking the bootloader in case I need to send it in. I have sent some major prayers to God today! (If you do not believe in God you don't have to say anything negative about my post... just carry on)
This happens to me always to restart device
There is a solution to this?
What this fire button solution problem?
Who tried to replace power-on button to know is% 200 percent of the problem?
