MT4G - power option prompt appear randomly - myTouch 4G General

I have the stock gingerbread ROM with the latest update on my MT4G. When I am using my phone, the power option prompt will randomly appear. I have to cancel it to continue. Sometimes it will reappear repeatedly.
Anyone experienced this issue?

Your power button is giving in.

This may sound silly, but it happens to me all the time when the phone is in landscape mode, I hit it and don't even know it. I say this because you mention that it only happens when using your phone. If it were a power button going bad, it would happen when the phone its not being touched, but unlocked.

Had to send to HTC for repair. It fixed now

Power Button Doesn't Work

My power button does not work at all. It doesn't put the phone to sleep nor can it wake it up. Holding it down doesn't even give me an option to shut it down and presumably it can't turn the phone on either.
So basically I think I just wore the button down. Now in spite of that, is there a way to reflash a new ROM without being able to turn it on using the button? I mean, if I remember the procedure correction, you just have to turn it off to take the sim card out and to put it back in. Can I forgo this step?
I mean, I am just sliding out my keyboard to wake it up but I fear if my battery ever fully runs down.
Try to Hard reset your device..
To perform a hard reset
1. Pull out the stylus.
2. With the device turned on, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN and ENTER buttons, then press the RESET button with the stylus tip.
3. Release the RESET button, but continue pressing the VOLUME DOWN and ENTER buttons until you see this message on the screen:
This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel.
4. Release the VOLUME DOWN and ENTER buttons, then press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
Yup, didn't work. Am I boned if my phone ever turns off? Jeez, and I just received that extra battery too.
Is there a way to remap the sleep button to the PTT key?
you dont have to pull out the stylus or have the device on to do a hard reset. just turn on the device and immediately hit volume down and center. once the screen lights up you can let go then wait for the reset message and press volume up.
anyways, if you have a att fuze, take it in, its under warrenty, theyll replace it. in any case you need it fixed. you cant live your live hoping your battery will never die. you cant turn it on or flash a new rom or anything without a working power button. if you dont have att im sure you can call htc and tell them you want it fixed and theyll mail you the supplies to get it shipped. just hope you can live without it for a couple days. its youre only options if you want it working.
I came back here all excited to post that it suddenly started working but it is back to the way it was.
The phone is really old so it's just of warranty and I don't think it is worth it to have it fixed when so many other problems are wrong with it. I guess it's time to be looking at new phones.
And now the power button is working. This phone just boggles the mind, people. I'm sure it'll stop working in a couple of hours though. Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this? Maybe a short due to rain or something? Worn down contacts?
Same power button over here.
Sorry for reply on an old article but Google won't help me. I'm havin' the same problem. Na responds on the power button neither can i do a hard reset.
Anyone has a sollution. Phone is out of warranty ...
Is it a hadware problem of something with the software. Still has the (updated) stock rom. I've tried to reflash it with this latest rom but this didn't solved the problem.
Solved (for the time being..) The button seemed to be stuck. With my fingernail I managed to 'lift' it.

screen wont come on but I still have audio

So I've had my Transformer for several months now and it's been great. Today was the first time I've had this issue where my screen wont come back on but I can still hear emails and other audio happen in the background. This happened earlier today and then suddenly the screen came back on. Well about an hour ago it happened again. I tried turning the screen on and nothing but i'm still getting audio.
I've tried holding down the power button for 5+ seconds to try to get it to power off but it's not turning off that i'm aware of. Is there some other type of combo i can do to try to get it to respond? I've also pressed the power button, vol up and vol down to make sure no button is accidentally held in.
Any help? I would like to get this working again and not have to RMA it. I'm also running Prime v1.82 ROM.
When the screen went dark were you moving the TF at all? Any recent jarring? Sounds like possibly a connection has come loose. Just a thought.

how can i check the connection? Is there a "how to" for accessing the internals of this unit? I would like to check that before sending the unit back if possible.

Try holding down the Power + VolDown key at the same time. This will reboot your device...
I don't know if this pertains to your particular issue but are you running a different launcher? If so it may want you to choose which launcher at startup. If the picker window pops up and doesn't show because of a bug in Honeycomb the screen will go dark and you won't see the picker window. When it does it again try turning the screen to portrait and then back again to landscape and see if the picker window will show. Of course you will need to have Auto Rotate screen checked on in the settings for you to do this also.
I had this happen one day on my phone, and it was the launcher issue....

[Q] Bootloop when power button sometimes pressed

Hi everyone!
I think my bootloop problem may be a unique one because it only occurs whenever I press the power button (and I've kinda searched other threads and couldn't find a bootloop issue like mine). But before I explain in depth, here are my specs:
Stock 4.4.4 rom
Rooted, with xposed + gb
ElementalX 1.00 kernel
This problem is a randomly occurring one; when my phone is fine and I press the power button, it almost usually goes into a bootloop. It can either stay on the google screen or last all the way up to the x-boot one. Sometimes from the x-boot screen, it'll reboot again. So I realized that if I randomly press the power button a few times (usually trial and error), the problem goes away sometimes and I boot normally again. However, if I hit the power button again for any reason, the bootloop issue relapses.
Also another thing to note is sometimes when my phone is switched on and operating normally and I press the button, it doesn't always reboot immediately. Sometimes it behaves as if the power button is held down and the power menu pops up in the lockscreen... then subsequently it boot loops.
So I'm not sure if this is a hardware issue to do with the button itself (because I very rarely ever drop my phone. Perhaps about 3 times in the past 8-9 months since Dec 2013?) or it's a software issue...which will mean I've to reflash my stock rom.
Anyone with a similar issue please help! It's kinda driving me nuts cos I can't even unlock my phone without triggering a bootloop...:crying:

Might want to send it in for repair. Mine had the same symptoms about a month ago--spontaneously displaying the power menu, boot loops where I'd need to do a hardware reboot (or whatever it's called, vol up + power) and sometimes it won't wake the screen when I press the power button and act as if I turned it off. Tried to reflash recovery and change roms, same banana. Then suddenly it won't go out of bootloop, sometimes gets to the x-boot and sometimes only until the Google logo. Sent it for repair and lo and behold, hardware problem. I think this is really inherent on some older Nexus 5's with the wobbly power button.
I suggest you do a nandroid backup while you have the chance. Never had a chance myself

sigh, i reflashed stock rom and the problem persisted. i can't even stay on the bootloader screen without it rebooting itself all over again. i guess it's an old nexus 5 hardware problem like you said :/ thanks for sharing!

Sounds like the power button is getting stuck, or shorting out.

Power Button Issue

Good day guys.
I suppose most of hammerhead owners are familiar with the issue of the power button.
Well I'm beyond that. I accidentally dropped my phone from a 2 meter high spot, fortunately my case is strong, but since then I experienced a very weird issue, I didn't find anything similar online.
So my issue is that the phone reboots, but how's that different from the common issue?
Well when charging or plugged in it doesn't reboot. When a task such as music playing while not plugged (even silently, which is my solution for now), the phone doesn't reboot. But if there's no task running, if you press the power button putting phone to sleep, if the sleep lasts 2 seconds or more the phone immediately reboots.
There's no bootloop or anything.
I know the issue needs my to open the phone and fix the button, but I wonder why only while unplugged only.
Thanks for your time
I had this same problem. I immediately enable usb debugging, then ripped out the power button. before i ripped it out, it got stuck and was rebooting like yours was. now, if I want to turn it on, all i do it connect it to my pc while holding the volume down button (this accesses the bootloader), open cmd on PC, fastboot reboot, and its on. Sadly, this was the only way for me to continue using the phone. Such a good phone.

That's sad to hear, sorry about that.
Well my power button is functioning normally, I use it without any issues, I don't understand this problem.

You said you dropped your phone and started experiencing weird things. It's hardware. Your power button might be messed up. Replace the power button (needs to be done professionally.)

Bricked after a force shutdown, looking for advice

Greetings, I'll try to keep it short. My device is a Zenfone 7 Pro (ZS671KS)
I was using the phone normally and then for some reason it got stuck and I had to perform a "holding the power button" force shutdown to get out of it. The same thing has happened a few times before and it always boots back to normal. This time however, happened after I just downloaded and installed the latest firmware update when the phone was in its "waiting for reboot" state.
It has been bricked ever since and holding the power button will just send it into a boot loop (a brief vibration every once in a while). Whatever I do nothing will show, no logo no LED indicator light or anything like that. All black. Holding volume up or down + power also don't do anything. Vibration is the only response I am getting.
The phone itself was not modified in any way, it was never rooted, didn't have a custom firmware and stuff. Is there anything I can try to save it and all the data inside (data being my priority) before I give up and admit defeat?
Don't think I've see anything quite like it before, so any idea is appreciated.
