Recently my phone overheated, after this spontaneous heat was over my power/unlock button has become quite unresponsive. It works when it wants to and i am in fear that i have fried my phone and or the power button

Thanks!

I own a Samsung Captivate and I was running CM7. Randomly my Power Button wouldn't unlock or lock the phone. I flashed to stock and still no avail. Also my phone turns on as soon as I insert the battery. Please help
Power button could be bad. If still under warranty, get att our Samsung to replace it.
I'm not under warranty though :/
This just happened to mine while doing the same thing. I took my power button plastic piece out, and messed around with the actual button, and it fixed it, but that's just for me.
I am having the same problem right now as well. I used this to remap a power button to my volume down key, but still cant get my power button to do anything.

If I feel bold I might try opening it up and fiddlying with the hardware button as welll...
The other day my infuse's power button started dying, apparently i have bad luck with samsung buttons as my captivate's power button broke on me too. It started out just randomly lighting up as if it were touched, then moved on to rebooting, and now it just continuously plays the samsung logo over and over again, even when trying to go into recovery mode. Even with the plastic phone shell off, the problem persisted, so the plastic power button itself i know is not the issue.
I'm wondering if anyone knows of any possible way to render the power button useless, and remap one of the volume keys or something as the power key instead.
Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated, I really don't want to have to pay samsung to repair it.
There's an app called button remapper or something along those lines. But I believe it will kill any other function that the volume button does, like volume control. If you don't use it for that purpose, then try it out.

I dropped my NS the other day and now the power button has became very finicky. I've read about others with power button problems but from the issues I'm experiencing I think the problem might be software related and not caused by dropping it.
When the screen is off, hitting the power button always turns the screen back on but sometimes brings up the power menu
When the screen is on, press and long pressing the power button doesn't do anything
When the phone is off, pressing the power button turns the phone on, and I can get to the bootloader using the power + volume up
The power button issues I'm having only seem to happen when the screen is on, otherwise the power button works like it should. I've clean installed my rom twice but the porblem stays the same.

Hardware.
It will probably fail on you completely eventually.
Hello there,
I have a problem with my Galaxy S3. The Power Button is damaged, and doesn't work how it should. Sometimes there is no reaction after pushing the button, or it sticks fast. And there is the Problem, when pressing the Power Button for 8 Seconds, the Phone reboots -.-
So sometimes while just using my phone it reboots itself because of the damaged power button. I found one kind of solution, with Root Explorer I changed the functions of the Keys Home Button und Power Button with the files /system/usr/keylayout/gpio-keys.kl and the other one qwerty.kl
I changed just the Names HOME and POWER, now my Power Button = Home Button, and my Home Button = Power Button.
And here is the Problem:
There is still the Function after pressing the Power Button for 8 Seconds, it reboots. How can I deactivate this Function? Where can I find it, or is there another Solution for this Problem?
I bought my Phone from a friend without a bill, and its rooted + CyanogenMod. So if someone asks... I can not let it get repaired by Samsung.
Thanks for your help and sorry for my bad english.
Hi,
Go to a service center. You need it fixed and it's not that expensive. Or find the parts and a YouTube guide and fix it yourself. Not much you can do otherwise.
Good luck!
Hello.
I received my Pixel 4a recently and now feeling like the most disappointed person in the universe.
The reason is that the left button seems to be somehow stuck - but in a software way as it clicks perfectly (the phone is or should be new), but does nothing, and while button is not being pressed, the volume turns down on itself to the bottom, and tries to be turned down even then. There is more - the power button does not work, and I can not turn the screen of. And when I hold the power button, the phone does not reload - it goes into fastboot as the volume button is "being held" by default. And there is even more - in fast boot the volume down button also doesn't do anything, and the power button also acts as an options switcher instead of enabling them so I can not even enter rescue or recovery mode. The only way to boot then is to hold volume up button after holding power button so it neutralizes the volume down button effect.
Any help would be much appreciated
