Power button hair trigger - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This sucks. If I look at the power button wrong it turns on. In all seriousness. Is anybody else having this issue. The power button is acting crazy. All it takes is a small tap. Is worsened by the spigen hybrid case.

Okay now this is embarrassing. So my last device was the HTC one. Non rooted. Last mod phone I had was the one s. I guess a new mod came out that auto turns on your device when you pull it out of your pocket. Am I wrong or is that what's going on here???

I've seen this behavior on stock kernel myself, so has co worker.
But not on Dev type.
I've looked and looked for info and marked it up as a static glitch.
Not sure?

Backlight buttons

Just curious if everyone else's buttons backlight all three are either lit up or not. On mine, the back and home are while the recent one is sometimes. My guess is that it's a defect. It's just weird that it'll light up with the others occasionally so I know the light works. I really hate to have to swap this thing out cause everything else works great.

I've been trying to figure this out, actually.
All three of mine are either on or off - but it seems like while the phone is plugged in (not being touched) with the screen on... the buttons are lit up all the time.
Only this morning they were off while the screen was on and the battery was charging. Very weird.
You know, I just noticed mine are off. Going to investigate.

Just realized they turn off when in a bright environment and turn back on when dark. I guess.I learned something today. lol

But it's all three correct? Not just the first two? My recent button hardly ever comes on..only occasionally.

Yeah, it's all 3. All 3 are either on or off. Yours is broken. I wouldn't really mind if all of mine just stayed off. lol

I could care less if they ever came on Hopefully an update will make it so we can turn them off/on or dim after a certain idle time.

It comes in handy at night. Other than that, they shouldn't come on. And damn, I didn't want to take mine back. I at least can get mine set back up pretty quickly.

Random Shut downs

Hate to even post this. I was having the same issues with the original Galaxy S.
Anyone happen to know why the note 10.1 would be shutting down fully? I hit the power button and it seems to "hibernate" but then I have to boot it up again later?
Stock everything...
Am I missing something?
Thanks for the help.

Do you have display lock turned off? Are you holding the power button or just tapping it once?
Well everyone, the poor tablet just turned off and never turned back on. Took it back to the retailer and received a new one.
It was a defective note unfortunately.

Are the buttons supposed to light up?

New to the one s. Coming from the sensation. Like the title says are the buttons supposed to light up? Mine don't.

Mine doesn't stay on either. Actually... The only time mine is ever on is during boot and when doing a hard reset. It seems like they should be on anytime the screen is on, the device would look a lot better that way.
Mine time it after inactivity, but they are in quite often

In a dark area, yes. Otherwise, no. It uses the light sensor near the HTC logo. If you cover your hand over that area, the buttons should light up. Mine do.

Power button starting to not function?

Anybody else have this issue? It's as if its very sensitive too. I can barely touch the power button and my phone screen will shut off, but immediately come back on. Also if you actually press the button, the screen will shut off than come back on. Anyone else have this kind of issue?
Yeah this happened to mine just two days ago. I ended up pulling the button off entirely and using the phone without it. Super frustrating.
Power button failure is a common known issue with S3 devices. Take it back in most cases they replace the device.

[Q] Power Button hard to press

For the last year or so my lock button has gotten harder to press and doesn't have that "click" feel to it. Does anybody know why this is or how to fix it?
EDIT: my power button stopped working all together. If anybody knows how to fix this or turn my phone on without adb(to switch batteries), it would be greatly appreciated.

take off you back cover and see if the plastic button got somehow trim
try also to press the power button with a toothpick or with your finger
to check if you have the same hard pressing
I have 2 back covers and both of them seem fine. How can you tell if they got trim? I used my finger and a sharp object, they both turn it on but it feels the same

hmm, i don't know what else to suggest
did the device ever fell from your hands and hit in that spot?
if yes maybe it can cause that issue
well i tried to clean out the dust with a can of air and it blew out this little film thing and now it doesnt work at all hahaha but i got the device set up to use the vol up button as a power button but it is only recognized when it is powered on. does anybody know how to boot the device without adb? im currently using adb to start but its a pain to have a computer around to start the phone. i switch batteries a lot so its really inconvenient. btw i noticed that the phone doesnt turn off if you remove the battery in bootloader if it has a usb cable plugged in but i cant select any of the options without a power button
