[Q] Nexus 5 Power Button - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I bought the Nexus 5 a month after it came out and recently the power button is going crazy (not physically): when i turn the screen on it sometimes presses the power button again and turning it off or presses the power button (long press) and shows me the power menu (Power down etc...) or presses it longer and restarts.
I tried to wipe date and cache via recovery mode (it took about 50 minutes to wipe the date. its a very long time but i read that it takes 30-60 minutes) and the problem is not solved.
What should i do??
Thanks in advanced.

Reflash factory images,
If it doesn't fix it, RMA.

HTC ONE S keep rebooting all the time! Help :<

My phone keeps rebooting all the time. It goes up to the logo screens and the shut downs and reboots again ad infinitum :// Is there any fix for this? Phone is not rooted or anything. This blows so much im out of the country for 2 weeks so i cant get it fixed :///
Hold Power button, all screen buttons will flash for about ten secs. Release, phone should turn off phone.
Hold power and volume down. That should take you into your bootloader menu.
Select "reset". This will wipe your SDcard.
should work on your stock device but try at your own risk. Just remember, google is your friend.

Yeah, just Power-On button + Vol - and then Factory Set. Use Vol+/Vol- to navigate in the menu and power button to select. :good:

Button sequence for reboot when Aroma freezes?

Anyone know what buttons I can press to reboot the phone back into recovery instead of pulling the battery every time?

Just keep holding the power button until the phone reboots... 5 - 10 seconds
use the button sequence that you used to get into Recovery, it just might take a little longer than normal by only a few seconds.

[Q] screen in black after boot in gear 2

I do not know how it happened but the screen of my gear 2 just do not turn on after boot (just after the samsung logo). Only shows the screen to restart after pressing the button and if the bluetooth connected or not.
I tried
- Change the default from the app of gear in my S3.
- Restore a backup.
- Update the software, but there was an error Bluetooth Connection
- Reinstall the app on my phone, after that would not be anymore connecting the gear to bluetooth
- Hard reset
but still the same.
Have any idea how to fix this?
Thanks for the help.
(sorry for my bad English)
There is a recovery mode, I never used it, but give it a try. Long press the home button, keep it pressed until the device reboots. Then press at least three times the home button (while rebooting). You will see a text menu with a few options. Select recovery in the menu by pressing the home button a few times. When recovery is selected, long press the home button.

My S7 Edge is Constantly Rebooting And Nothing Works

The problem started when I was on my bootloader that simply said "Downloading Do Not Turn Off Target" and I held the power button down to reboot since I didn't see any other way to cancel that screen. From then on, my phone kept restarting over and over again. Basically, it shows the "Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge" logo then turns off and shows a blank screen for two seconds then turns on again repeatedly. If I hold the power button, volume up and home button or just volume up and home button, the phone states "Installing system update" on the screen and goes to the menu that allows me to reboot the phone, clear cache, shut down, factory reset and so on. I tried factory resetting and clearing cache over and over again with no luck. I tried to install custom firmware by holding volume down, power button and home button and going into the bootloader and using odin but still no luck. Every guide suggested that the phone has a stuck power button but the tap methods don't work and I'd like to confirm that's the problem before I take my phone apart to replace that power button.
The thing that confuses me is that when I go into the menu with the options for rebooting, clearing cache, etc. the power button works fine. Whenever I want to shut down the phone, I can click the volume up and select the "Shut Down" option and then clicking the power button to confirm and it does shut off the phone. How would the power button be the issue if it works fine afterwards?
So would the conclusion be to replace the power button flex or is it a software issue? Or is my phone bricked after having it for three months?
(The problem's lasted for two days now)
Sorry, wrong thread.

Yea, stock firmware should do it. If you can get into recovery it's definitely not your power button.

Power button not working

Ok so I recently went on vacation and my phone was submerged in water. That's happened before but this time, the next day my phone started acting as if as I was holding the power button down and bringing up the advanced reboot options. Hitting the power button would turn the screen of and function normally but this persisted for about a day. Now my power button doesn't respond at all. I double tap the screen to turn it on so I can still use the phone. I'm afraid of going into bootloader or recovery and somehow getting stuck. I do have and use adb I just haven't proceeded. Any ideas? I believe it's hardware more than a software issue but maybe a wipe or reset would fix it?
