Hi, my nexus almost 5 months after i bought it, it got a strange problem, it just "boot" if i tap the screen repeatedly times fast (dont need to be strong, just fast)..
look this video i recorded:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1kZ718MVac&feature=youtu.be
i repeat, its not strong, just fast =(
if i hold power up and power down it enter in recovery but i cant do nothing, because it in 1 second reboot again =/
It's sounds like hardware failure for me. But have it ever been got wet or fallen down? Are you using stock rom/kernel or custom one(s)? Have you tried to make a full wipe in the recovery?
Not that i remember, i Dropped it sometimes, but this problem started "without reason"
Its stock and i tried the fullwipe, but now its impossible sincr i cant stay in cwm more than 1 or 2 seconds
Maybe i have chance that google can fix it? I sent it to a store to see if was something about the powe button, they said no and they cant fix the problem since they dont know and have fix accessories for it
Try to use ADB to wipe the partitions then flash stock with Fastboot?

I noticed that I couldn't control the volume when in Gingerbread, I restarted the Nexus S. The Nexus S is now booting into the recovery menu by default, I can't boot into the OS.
The volume in the recovery menu works as expected (though slightly delayed), the real problem is that the power button has the same function as the volume up.
My phone is rooted and the bootloader is unlocked, this was done several months ago though.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
Sounds like you lost your OS, you need to re-install the rom through recovery. Just Wipe your data and cache, mount usb, transfer the rom to your sd, and install. EZ PZ

Thanks for the reply, I was able to boot into the OS using the fastboot command "fastboot reboot". I then flashed a previous backup I made three months ago, sadly this did nothing to alleviate my problem. I am convinced this is a hardware failure of some sort.
I have now flashed an unrooted stock rom and locked the bootloader as I intend to invoke warrenty and send it over to Samsung.
Naturally, this had to happen right when Ice Cream Sandwich launches on the Nexus S.
Yes my friend this happened to my buddy as I was lucky enough to get fastboot to recognize the pc after hundreds of tries so I could lock the bootloaders back up
Let me guess does your phone turn on by itself when you plug it in to charge?

Woah, come to think of it my phone did turn on by itself! And it took me at least an hour for fastboot to recognize my phone. I assume your friend sent it in under warrenty? How long did it take until he got a replacement?

Sounds like your volume key is broken and the volume down key is always pressed.

That is what I thought at first, but the power button will not execute like it should.
He has some sort of best buy warranty and I just gave it back to him today with locked bootloaders
BEST DAMN PHONE BECAUSE WE HAVE THE BEST DAMN DEVELOPERS!
If your without warranty what I would do is install cyanogen mod and use the volume wake option or if you want to use ICS then get goto lock screen app from the market and use that to wake the device with the volume wake option
I say this because his power button went out completely and there was a major problem with his USB connection
Its like the power button is always being held in. This problem started for him before flashing any custom rom,it made it really hard to root and because mounting storage and fastboot drivers sucked but hang in there and keep this post alive as I'm going to take it apart tomorrow and see if something is loose or not making good connection
Were you hard on it? he is as we work in a sugar factory

I should still have warranty with Samsung as I bought my phone in May. I don't think I was too rough with my phone, that said it's in my pocket most if the time. The power button works fine, the volume up is another story. Thanks for helping.
no problem mike,please keep me posted on how your return to samsung turns out and if there are any obsticles you have to go through

I called Samsung, they told me I could take it into my local Rogers store to get it repaired. When showing the Rogers employee what was wrong my phone just magically started working again, it seemed to good to be true. And as it turned out it was, as my phone cannot send or receive calls. Hopefully I won't be without a Smartphone for too long.
Thanks for all the replies everyone.
Hello and good morning..:crying:..my Nexus s I9023 with JB 4.1.1, stock, had a frozen Display and didn`t react to the powerbutton so i pulled the battery....and guess, what.....it doesn`t turn on anymore!! I had the battery out all night...nothing! ...put it on the charger...nothing!....eaven the pc does not recognise my Nexus...! ...what can I do?? btw....searched the Forum and did this "plug in USB, press volume up and down, slide in Battery, hold for 5 sec. ....nothing!!! HEEEEELLLLPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm not an expert, but it seems a serious hardware problem.
As far as I know, there are for ways to switch on the nexus s.
1) ordinary power button
2) power button + vol up
3) vol up + vol down
4) plug in USB charger
The third method puts the phone in download mode, and Odin needs to be used. You have to look for the thread on how to restart the phone with a broken power button
Best wishes

if it is still in warranty send to the seller and if u are lucky u can have a new nexus s
....if there is no other option i will do that!!
If the screen does not turn on displaying the battery icon when you plug the charger to the usb, it may mean that they battery is completely flat or that the contacts are not working.
If you know someone who owns a nexus then try with another battery and another charger.
In any case, it is definitely better to give it to a service center for warranty replacement. They know how to make it work
Good luck

Exact same thing happened to me this morning! I just tried to send a text, my display blurred and the phone froze. When I pulled the battery it wouldn't turn back on >.<. Hesitant to send in for repairs though. I was running AOKP jb-build 1 and Air-kernel #201. It isn't being recognized by USB so I can't even flash it again. Tried to use the unbrickable resurrection program, but it doesn't get recognized, and I don't want to void the warranty further by opening the phone.
Any suggestions??

are you overclocking the cpu? This happened to me a few times until i finally clued it in my head. I was overclocking at 1400MHz and sometimes when i was using my phone for a while it would get hot and the screen would be all colourful and blurry and then it would freeze and I would have to take the battery out and reboot it
I was overclocking for a bit at a stable 1200 MHz for months, and usually hard resets fixed it. But if I remember correctly, I started using stock voltages and stock speeds with lazy governor a while back. It was stable until today. Usually the hard reset fixes it, but now its not even turning on or being recognized by USB
...wanted you all to know..just got my NS back today...they put in a New mainboard on warranty.l had to update Form 2.3.4 to ics and then to JB..........now i am happy:thumbup:

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

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
"yeah dog just run over your phone wit a forklift, problems will be solved yo."

Could be the motherboard or display(since you say screen doesn't turn on).. It's better you take a professional advice about the same.. Send your device in for repairs!
If it was bought via playstore then google will send you a replacement device and if a LG covers the warranty then they will repair it.

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

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
