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.

My power button has started acting funny... when I press it it doesn't work. And worse, it turns the screen on and off by itself (like I was pushing it).
Also sometimes the back button takes screenshots instead of "back".
For the moment I use a setting in ViperS that allows me to turn the screen on with VolUp and and off with VolDown, and also attributed another action to the power button so it doesn't turn the screen on and off by itself (with Button Remapper).
The problem appeared when I was on Bruce's CM10 (though i don't think this is the problem), and then I hardly flashed ViperS.
Has anyone had this problem? Any solutions?
I hope this isn't hardware related... (It isn't under warranty)
did you check if the back cover is pushing the button somehow and it is always pressing the contact for screen off/on the device?

Yes. It's the same thing with the cover off.
I have researched the "related threads" and none are similar to the issue I am having.
The phone turned off midcall and fails to turn on afterwards. I thought it was the battery, but it still fails to turn on after charging over night.
It boots up to show the logo, after a battery pull and turns back off.
If I I press down the power button + down volume+ menu, I get the warning about a custom install of an OS may damage the phone and if i want to continue to press the volume up, or cancel.
The phone only lasts about 5 seconds, after every battery pull, other wise it won't turn on again.
I haven't gotten a blank white screen nor the Android logo.
Thank you.
Update: I believe I confirmed it is a power button issue.
What I used to confirm it was pressing the volume down button and menu without the power button and was able to see the Warning as if I had pressed all three. Also, the phone vibrates as soon as I place in the battery.
Issue now is: Supposedly the cause is due to a stuck power button, but physically the power button is not stuck. It clicks when pressed.
Hey,
When I try to unlock my phone with the power button, the capacity buttons light up and the screen also seems to light up but it is just black. The touchscreen is still working because I am able to restart the phone (by holding the power button and swiping down and then holding the power button).
The weird thing is that the phone just displays everything correctly if I power it on, but once I lock it, it all goes wrong.
Is there any way I can fix this problem? Thank you in advance!
Hi guys,
TLDR; Phone won't turn on, notification light flashes red once on power up (sometimes), black screen all the time. :crying:
So my brother has asked me to try and fix his Nexus 5 as he isn't tech savvy at all.
So the problem he is having started when he tried powering the phone on and it started to boot up and then started resetting iteself.
It now will not power on at all and doesn't seem to be on at all.
When holding the power button, it will sometimes flash the notification light (at the bottom) red for a second or two. No other response from the phone.
I've tried holding the power button for up to 5 minutes with nothing. I've tried holding the V+ key with the power button for a few seconds up to a few minutes then tried pressing the buttons expected to get to a reset menu with no indication of anything.
I'm kind of lost and was wondering if anyone has had these issues before and know what is the best issue to try and repair?
Thanks
It could be a faulty power button which is a common issue with the Nexus 5.
Remove the logic board, clean around the power button with isopropyl alcohol, dry it, quickly press and release the power button using more pressure than normal, re-install, and try to boot.
You could also try this: hold volume + button and connect the phone to a computer using a USB cable.
Thanks audit13, I'll give it a shot and shout back if it works
Hello,
last evening my s10e had an issue at the power button/fingerprint scanner, it doesnt work anymore! for me now it's impossible to power on the phone, i feel a classical click when i push the button, but the phone doesn't start, is there a way to power on it without this button?
i've tried to connect the phone and force the start with adb, but it remais off.
Help me please, i am in greece for holidays and i can't go in a samsung point
Are you tries restarting phone with button combo?
Using a particular combination of buttons, you can force your Galaxy S10, S10 plus, and the S10e to restart the system. Here’s how to do this.
Press and hold the Power button and the Volume Down button simultaneously until the device screen turns off.
May need to press and hold for more than 7 seconds
It will shut down and restart automatically
If the device screen stays black and you’re unable to see if it has turned off, keep holding down the Power and Volume Down buttons until you feel a vibration.

Thank you for your answer! Unfortunately i tried to force restart with this combination but nothing has happened... it's very weird, tomorrow i will return at home and i will go in a samsung point for the check up. I will write update as soon as i will understand what happened :/
After few days the assistance told me that the cause of the problem was water (wasnt it waterproof?) so i have to change power and volume buttons. Very disappointed
Must still be at the store
same thing
I was looking for some infor. My powerbutton stopped working. The fingerprint sensor works but not the power button. I wanted to take a few shots underwater. Maybe just 10 inches underwater and this happend. Looks like its not so waterproofed. I got lucky that the device was on. It looks like if it get off there is no way to turn it on.
