Has this happened to anyone before? I mean the phone is old and it has its little quirks but this one takes the cake. If i even touch the button it will send the phone into a start screen boot loop til i hit it again. I downloaded button savior so its a small annoyance for now. Is there way to disable the button so i dont accidentally hit it?
Im rooted and it started on GO V5, I then reflashed to Nexus JB, it seems to not do it as easily now.
Thanks for any help.

Check out this thread... allows you to reassign keys. Could make that key just nothing, or something non-essential. I don't know if it works when phone is starting up but its worth a shot.
Thanks scott. I knew there was something like this around. Ill try it out.

Hi, I'm new here so don't know if i'm posting this in the right place but here it goes... Ok i gave my HTC Inspire to a friend to install the MIUI ROM to it. Afterwards it was running smoothly and had no problems with it. A few days later my Inspire notified me that it had an update to the ROM. At first i wasn't sure to install it because it is a custom ROM and not the default one, but did the update anyways through the phone. Again, the phone worked normal all day, but at some point the screen started glitching untill it turned completly off.
The one strange thing is that the phone seems to function normally because when charged and "turned on" i can hear the sounds and notifications(like email, text and app notifiactions). Also when i connect it to my computer, it recognizes the device.
That happened about three days ago and I have not been able to discover what really is the problem and how to fix it. If there's anyone that could help me i would REALLY appreciate it.
Thanks in advance,
Marialo
most likely was a bad update.
You should boot into recovery and reinstall miui everything should be back.
Keep in mind the devs have to set miui for each device, chances are you updated to the wrong base.
That's what i thought but can't boot into recovery because i can't see the screen... Any advice on that?
Btw, thks for the quick response
Try shutting off the phone completely and booting into your bootloader the old fashioned way by holding down the volume down key, press power, and release volume down once you see the bootloader screen.
If your screen doesn't work during that, you may have a hardware problem on your hands.
Ok thanks; will try that then.

or while the phone's on, if you have ADB installed - open a cmd prompt and navigate to where ADB is and type "adb reboot recovery"
Yup try what they said that should work. If not ruu the ruin and really root

Ok, tried with the volume and power button, but nothing happened. Thanks for the advice, but I'm kind of new with all this and don't really know how to do the other stuff that you guys told me to do... :S Should I get someone that knows a bit more or is it something that i could do with a little info. from the internet?

I don't know if you would know but... If it were hardware problems; you think I could claim that to htc? Since the phone hasn't had any accidents or anything... :/

If its rooted warranty won't cover this. Get the ruu (stock exe) from the HTC support site and run it. If the phone still has a black screen after its been returned to stock then the problem is hardware related

Try going into your camera and taking a picture. Don't ask me why, but for some reason this works. And it worked for me.
I'm in the same boat. Any suggestions?
I am on 1.12.30 and I now have the same issue.

I also had this issue I don't have a solution but if you do manage to get the screen up by some means I would suggest remapping the power button to one of the volume keys at least temporarily if you're rooted. You can either do it manually with root explorer or this app- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850464 This has worked fine for me on every rom up until ICS.

haha that's exactly what I said when I first read it. but I wasn't joking - it actually works haha. glad it helped!
Same thing happened to me after I moved to Miui 1.12.23. Ive done lots of searching and everyone just says its a broken button. I find it awfully coincidental. I have since moved to cm7 nightly 181 (i think). And the problem carried over. Not sure a fix. CM has a feature to have the vol buttons wake the screen which has been great. I am still able to use the power button in recovery so I dont know what the deal is or the fix....
the camera thing worked but only temp.
Ive done my research, im no noob to this lol. I just havent found anything simular to the problems I am having.
So first off the phone isnt mine, its my friends, but im not new to Android and have done my fair share of roots. Ive never had any of these issues.
He bought the phone off of craigslist and it was suppose to be already rooted. So that was the first thing I checked, and it was defiantly S-ON.... So I asked what his problem was, and he said the camera didnt work. If you enter the camera app, or camcorder is would just flash right back to the haome screen. But yet if you go into Qik and video chat the front cam would work just fine.
So I did several factory restores of all ways possible and nothing fixed it. So I got permission to root so I could flash a ROM and see if that fixes the issue.
I rooted via Revolutionary of course. I followed all the step in the guide posted here in the section. After some trouble I finally got it fully rooted. But I was having some problems in recovery. One of them was when using the volume rocker to move up or down it would spazz out and I got to fight with the damn thing to get it to go where I want it to. But it didnt stop there!! Then while having that issue, I had another one where it would keep switching from say the back button was enabled or disabled. So that made it very difficult.
So then I had one ROM downloaded and I finally got it to where I could flash it and while it was flashing it would come back as an error saying something about the memory card! WTF! So after all of this and 3 hours of working on it I gave up for the night. So as I let the phone reboot into the stock ROM it still had the camera issue. AND also now when using the volume rocker for the volume, if you use up, the volume goes down. But if you press down the volume goes up!! Im about to just give up! Tomorrow ill try a new ROM and see how that goes.
So I guess im here asking if anyone has any ideas to any of these issues and what I could possibly do to fix any of these???
wonder if it was a bootleg phone. take the battery out and look over the stickers and what not, research them.

This is a feature with the recovery. If you're at the end of the options and you go back and forth.. it'll disable it. I don't like/use the feature myself!
The volume sort of sounds like hardware..! You can also navigate through recovery using the home and menu button too. Home is UP, menu = down. Search = select. Use that! Hopefully this helps a bit, as for the issue with flashing... I've no idea, I got to see that

Hey my power button is acting very weird even the slightest touch locks or unlocks the screen or even brings up the power menu. The button itself doesn't appear stuck and and it makes a click when I fully press it. Anyone know how to fix this?

This has happened to several people recently. Mine was still under warranty, verizon sent me replacement :laugh:
Mine was doing it on kitkat, in recovery, and on stock rom
Try this. Worked for me after a weekend of dealing with power button issues.
power button problems/Hardware failure?
so i think i got my phone around october of 2012 and i recently hate it! i loved it..i dropped and broke my first one..clumsy me..but it was innevitable..it worked great..then it was stolen got a replacement..phone i have now..i rooted it was careful about device specific blah blah and i had already fixed a hard brick im not stupid...but then my phone started acting super weird..the screen shut down when it tried working it would be dark green and fuzzy...a weekend later i pulled the sim and out it back in.. (for no reason) .. and my screen worked but my power button didnt work any more my screen wont stay asleep and my power menu continually pops up and it reboots (never completely)...like the power button would be jammed...any help idk if i can still get the root off and use triangle away cause my phone doesnt hardly stay working and when in C.W.M it selects random options usually reboot phone (first option)...is my warranty void will they replace my phone again even rooted...it is a hardware not software failure?
btw
using sch-i535 verizon galaxy s3, d2vzw, runnin pac-man jb 4.3.1 <----wasant when this first happened i restored a backup i was running cm 10.2 (jb 4.2.2)
i loved my galaxy s3 please help me love it again
I've had this problem as well but haven't found a solution yet, I'm going to try smashing it on a table like the above video suggests and see what happens
the weirdest part for me is when I odin back to stock the button works perfectly, like brand new, and then I clean flash any rom (4.2.x & 4.3) and it gradually starts messing up again, usually takes about 4-5 days for it to get to the point where I can't even boot to recovery/download.. luckily using the stock samsung cable allows me to enter and stay in download mode to odin back to stock.. rinse and repeat
LoL yeah here's the fix "smash your phone on the ground, but wait, if it doesn't work just do it harder"
That's the best thing I have ever seen.....
This has happened to me twice now.....I just take the button off and make a widget on my homescreen to lock the phone.... LoL LoL LoL this advice is too funny

Thank you so much SlimSnoopOS for posting that video link. Worked perfectly.
I literally just woke up this morning and its stuck in a bootloop. It constantly reboots, and when i get into recovery mode it waits a second and then selects the thing thats on-screen. Really aggravating. Every time i use recovery i can only get upto either Restart bootloader<Start>Poweroff before it selects whats on screen.... This is the weirdest problem ever it boots into recovery why the F*** would it not let me select what i want. Is there a way to manually do anything through ADB??? Wasnt even flashing anything, was on the same custom rom for a few months.
Extreme solution if better one isn't found: flash factory image

Yep its exactly that, someone told me to tap it repeatedly under the power button and it booted up for a few seconds. Im rooted and i cant remember how long ive had it, can i RMA it? Ive still got all my personal stuff on it which puts me in a dilemma :S

If you bought it from Google play, you can RMA it in its current state. LG where you send it if you bought it anywhere else, can be a bit trickier.
You may be able to pull the power button a bit to aliviate the issue

I've no idea, never had to RMA. Just tell them the truth. It's rebooting and cannot boot into anything because you suspect a stuck power button
