Broken Power Button - myTouch 4G General

So my power button is broken. It was press. My phone ran out of battery. Is it possible to turn it back on? Any help would be appreciated immensely.

Nope
Same thing happened to me and I had to send the phone back to tmobile for a new one. I think that it is a defect in the design and placement of the power button.

i would but unfortunetly I bought it from someone and it isnt under warranty anymore

Call HTC or get a friend to do it for you.

Plug in to the charger and it should boot up, or plug into adb and type adb reboot

I think...
You're supposed to remove battery and try to power up with bootloader/adb?

If you get it to turn on you can pm me and I will link the apk file to allow remapping.but you still won't be able to turn your phone on so u have to keep it charged and on.
I am positive I read somewhere how to turn it on via USB/ad w/out battery in.search about not having battery.you might get lucky.

[Q] htc sensation wont turn on

Can someone please help me? My htc sensation was working fine and all of a sudden it started freezing, so I took out the battery and put it back in. Now it won't turn on or boot into Hboot. The battery is fully charged and I even tried a different battery but still nothing. I've plugged in the phone without the battery as well and still nothing, the screen does not come on at all. Does anyone have a solution?

Hi,
I saw someone with the same problem.
He removed his sim card,left it for a while ,then switched on the phone without the sim card.
Might be worth a try.
Tried it, still no luck any other solutions?

Are you able to get a PC to recognise the phone via USB i.e. is adb working?
It sounds like a screen issue, it may be booting under this.

Can someone please help, i would just call for a replacement but i dnt want to send it in and they fix it and see its rooted, and then they charge me
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
Hopefully its so fubar thats they cant check to see, or waste their time...
I had it on mine to, on the period that it wasnt rooted yet, just send it to HTC, its a factory defect, they can't blame it on root access.

this happened to me too for some reason too, when i try to turn it on it just vibrates every 40 seconds or so with a blank screen . i am running ordroids latest rom. oh and my theory is i short circuited the battery or something because when my phone was charging i yanked the power cord of the wall with the phone still plugged in , any ideas and/or soulutions to my problem ?
The same happened to me a few months ago and had to get it replaced with T-Mobile.

can you return it with manufacturers warranty to tmobile or is there another warranty you need
Have you tried another battery before you return it? Could be a bad battery?

Hey man saw your issue...
This happened to me about 3 months ago. I was watching a youtube video when suddenly my phone froze. I did the exact same thing. Pulled the battery, waited a few mins, popped it back in and nothing. If you have insurance on the device you can get it replaced. They completely replaced mine and it was s-off rooted! So you should have no problems at all!:good:
Mine has done that a couple of times. All I do is wait about 5 minutes then pull the battery, put it back in and then try to restart the phone. Sometimes it take 5 or 6 tries before it will reboot and even then sometimes all I get it the splash screen. Another hint is to have it plugged into the charger after you have put the battery back in. If the charging led is on then that means there is a very good chance the phone will boot

Unresponsive tablet screen

Hi
I returned home from holiday the other day to my TF101 and I can't turn it on. The keyboard charges no problem, but I'm not sure what the problem is with the screen. The power button is unresponsive, and I'm not sure if it charges when it's plugged in.
Any suggestions? Our shall I send it Asus for repair?
It is not rooted, and had the official ics update.

Tried a hard reboot ?
Hold power button for 10 seconds
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium HD app
I am having the same issue just today. Tried hard reset and holding power down for 30+ secs. Also tried with the micro sd out.
Some advice would be great.
I'll try the hard reboot when I get in from work.

Ok,
So my tablet is definatley running. It's just that the screen won't turn on. I am able to pull it apart, is there anything I should look for or had the screen just given up the ghost.
Weird thing is the actual touch is working as I can hear it unlock to say the camera but just black screen. I have gone to a dark room to see if there is any back light but no go. It's as if it was turned off.
Bit over it.
I spoke with Asus UK support today, they said they have had a few dodgy screens before. Have arranged for then to repair it under manufacture warranty. They picking it up tomorrow.
I'll update you on the outcome

Phone not turning on.

Dropped my phone a few days ago. It was all good until this morning.
I charged it all night and I wake up with it at 1percent but the charge light being green. So I restart my phone and it never turned back on.
My girlfriend has the same phone so I used hee battery.... still nothing.
I have insurance but my phones rooted... but will that effect anything if they SOMEHOW figure out that it is?
Or is it okay since this is a hardware issue?
And does anyone have an idea to fix this before I go to t mobile today?
Thanks.

Sent by my feau gee

put the battery again and see if it will switch on

Help! totally stock one x bricked

my one x has been running on stock ics since i got it 6 months ago perfect until tonight when i get a low battery light. i pulled it out of my posket 10 mins later and nothing, ive been trying to charge it and it doesnt even have a charge light. theres no warranty so i really need some help with this.
It's most likely not bricked. Plug into a wall charger for a few hours, or even better overnight. Check it in the morning and try to power it on. Sometimes you need to hold the power button down. It's a power management bug present on this model that's causing it.

So, how did you go with this? Did you get your device powered on?

if I have it plugged in but not turned on the red LED should not blink wao all that happened today you heard of this problem has been solved before?
Blinking means it's too dead to turn on and needs to charge.

Just leave it plugged in for a few hours, don't worry about the led for now.

Have the volume buttons stopped working recently or have they not worked for a long time?

Just let it charge for now. Blinking red means it needs a charge and cannot turn on.

Without being able to get to bootloader there's nothing you can really do. I'm trying to think of a solution but I'm coming up blank.

He might be able to get adb working or be able to ruu even if the rom doesn't boot.

wao
I'm not experienced in this red LED still does not turn anything over an hour is connected and if I buy the flex of the volume buttons'm desperate and think mobile communication to see what I can do

Yeah maybe trying adb reboot bootloader while it's trying to boot?
Sent from my Evita
another way
there is no other way to enter the boot without the volume keys?
Not conventionally, but you could try adb commands, I'm not sure if they'll work though.
Sent from my Evita
how
I can do it like you could help me I have no experience in that.
The phone needs to at least turn on for adb commands or an ruu to possibly work. If it just stays black it could be bricked and require a jtagg or motherboard replacement
