What happens if you just hold the power button down for about 15 seconds?
Or, if you hold volume down and power for 15?
what about if you hold volume down and plug ausb cable in from your computer, will it enter download mode?

Thank you very much needed bro
As info, the AT&T thread is short of limited. I usually stick to the normal G2 thread, myself. You'll get more help and quicker responses I think.

Hi guys.
I noticed a few weeks ago my power button started to work when it felt like it. Sometimes it would be fine, other times it would take about 30 presses before it registered I was attempting to use it..
Now it has completely failed.
The phone is currently off, whenever I try to press the power button it never turns on. But as soon as I attach a charger to it (AC and USB), without even pressing the power button, the phone vibrates and the google screen flashes up, but never gets past that screen.
If I hold the volume up button as I attach a charger it attempts to enter recovery/bootloader mode(?), but freezes as soon as it comes on. No buttons work and it requires a battery pull to turn it off.
The phone is also not recognised by my computer, or by odin, or anything.
Not really sure what to do. Would try and flash things back to stock, but can't find a way to do that. Not really sure it would help either?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance
Oh and I looked through current threads and searched on google but I couldn't find anyone with a similar problem :/
It seems, your power button is constantly pressed. Maybe you dropped it? You should try to carefully move the button in every direction instead of pressing it, hopefully it clicks back to its right place. Other option is taking it back to the shop, and get it repaired. It's a hadware problem, so you won't be able to use neither recovery nor the ROM. The bright side is, that probably it's an easily repairable problem, and won't take too long

I was on an ICS ROM, can't remember which one, but the button started playing up when I was on a GB ROM..
Here's hoping the button just suddenly starts working though.. :L
Cheers for the reply
Just in case anyone else has this problem. My situation looked horrible.. but I brought a USB Jig from eBay and after months of problems. I got into recovery mode and flashed back to stock. Everything is perfect now

Though I am officially out of the Nexus S great community (mine was sold) but a great lesson I learned here is to BABY the power button...I also disabled the screen lock so I can get screen to wake with vol rocker.... take care of the power button folks on Nexus S lol

Well no lol. It started working on its own after I reflashed. It works on and off.. but I only flash roms now that have volume rocker wake and 'sleep' in the notification bar.. i.e CM based etc. Just in case the power button decides to fail completely

Stock ICS has a feature to wake the screen using the vol rocker.
And you can search the market for "Lock screen widget" to shut the screen.
In this case you minimize the need for the power button..That what I was doing..
I seem to have a problem with my power button. I think. My phone will occasionally shut off and vibrate once every 2 seconds, as if the power button is being held down. Taking the battery out and putting it back in stops the vibrations, but then after starting to turn on it will go back into the steady vibration.
I've noticed that sometimes when it's turned on it'll go into little fits where the power button menu will pop up rapidly. This usually precedes when it shuts off.
The severity of these "fits" varies. Sometimes it just requires popping the battery out and putting it back in, but sometimes it lasts for hours.
I don't know if it's a power button problem, or something in the wiring. I don't have a case on it, just a stick on skin. If you need anymore information, I'll gladly supply it.
Any information on what is happening and if theres a fix, would be greatly appreciated.
Sounds like a short somewhere

You would have to open up the case and look at it. Could be some debris in there, button could be getting jammed. Few things could be happening.

Also, whenever it shuts off a white line usually briefly flashes. Don't know if that helps.

I know I'm reviving an old thread but I came here trying to find a solution and I figured out what mine was.
It was indeed the power button, I took the phone apart twice, first time not messing with the power button, second time I pressed it quite a few good times and blew on it to try to blow anything out of there and to get my spit in it to lube any parts that needed lube...or what not.
I put it back together and still...same problem, it'd turn on when I put the battery in or plugged in a power source and then roughly 2 seconds later, it'd restart. The most I could get was maybe a full 10 seconds (but never further). But I realized that if I held the power button at the perfect time after the phone vibrated to turn on, it would go those 10 seconds way more often. So I mashed the hell out of my power button and shook and pounded the phone and it booted it up, was able to back up all my stuff and restore it. Now waiting for the replacement.
Why I told this like a story? I don't know...
OMFG this is exactly what is happening to me!!!! So exact. Lol any solution?!?

Same exact thing happened to my girlfriends Infuse, faulty power button. I took it completely apart and tried to clean the contacts between the power button and the motherboard as well as any junk that may have been lodged in the button itself. Unfortunately the cleaning didn't work, what did work is I took the god damn phone and whacked it against the counter top a few good times and it has worked ever since. Do I recommend doing this? NO! Just sharing my experience.

Can u not get into bootloader or recovery keep trying for a little. And does yyour computer recognize it
It may also be the proximity sensor. If you have case on the phone remove it also try cleaning the screen the sensor is located on the very top of the screen approximately 1/2 an inch to the left of world at&t logo give it a really good cleaning and see if it comes back on.

I recently rooted my One X Evita and flashed Clean ROM 5.1 with hasoon's all in one tool. Everything went perfect. Then I reinstalled a few of my old programs and got it all set up. I was really happy, it felt much more responsive than before. Last night I set a couple of alarms, left it charging by my bed like every night and in the morning I woke up late on my own. I looked at my phone and it was just the same as every morning connected to the charger with a black screen and the green notification light was on supposedly indicating that the phone was fully charged but when I took the cord off the green light never went away and when I press the on button It never did anything. I haven't tried anything because I don't want to make it worse. It's been now 7 hrs. since I disconnected it and the green notification light is still on. Can some body help please... Thank you...
um, why don't you turn the phone off and power it back on. phones glitch especially ones with custom roms.
Try holding the power button down for 20 seconds

Thank you very much. After I held the power button for 20 seconds the green light turned off then I pressed the power button momentarily and the phone proceeded to turn on. I did a few things on it and made a phone call. Is back to normal. Thanks again.

Thanks for replying, I did try to turn it off but I guess I wasn't holding the power button long enough but thanks to area51avenger I was able to restart it. I guess you have to hold for 20 seconds.

This is happening to me with this rom too and often. Charging the phone or not i hit power button but the screen still black and i can see the soft buttons on and if i play with volume buttons i can hear something but some times is like the phone is freeze. Any advice?
Hi, recently, my siblings were playing with the tablet, I didn't know what happened to it, but then my brother showed it to me and the power button seems to work, but it won't turn the screen on, and the big volume button is sticky, both doesn't work, I'm guessing they spilled juice in it or something. So is there anyway to fix this?

Open it up and clean it out? No I have no idea if you can still unlock the screen then you should be mostly Ok. The power button is important

If the screen turns off, I have to plug in the charger so it turns on.
