Power button issue

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

Power button magically stopped working

Out of nowhere my power button magically no longer works. Kind of a huge deal since I use my phone for work a TON. At first I thought it was the ROM but then I rebooted into recovery and discovered it doesn't work in there either...... but by some sort of miracle though my phone magically boots itself up when I swap batteries in it....
I am rooted and running Beans 20.
Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated!!

You can get an app called button savior from Google play that allows you to create on screen keys to turn off your screen.
Various xposed modules allow you to remap your physical keys. If you don't know about the xposed framework I highly suggest looking into it.
Furthermore I believe some custom roms have key mapping built in.

Yes I already got an app that will shut my screen off and lock it but what happens when my phone stops magically booting up all by itself??
Then I'm screwed.

My power button just started malfunctioning too. I'm on Odin barebones 4.1.2 stock and the problem persists.
It sounds like a lot of people are getting this problem. If you use that knowledge to your advantage, I've heard people convince Samsung it's a manufacturing problem and got it repaired outside of Warranty. The power button itself is sautered onto the motherboard, so unless you really trust a mobile repair company, best option is work directly with Samsung.
That being said, I'm going to look for an Xposed Framework module that can remap the power button.

I looked for one, didn't really find what I was looking for... selling mine on ebay now to pay for my new phone...

Wow. My power button just stopped working also.
My phone is stock.
I did replace the glass myself a couple months ago and it's been working fine until about a week ago. Was wondering if that had anything to do with it.
Interesting to see I'm not the only one having issues.
Kind of timely now that the S5 is coming out this week.

This is happening to a lot of people. I'm sure the s4 will start having this problem followed by the s5 after a year and some months. Im done with samsung phones until they start using different parts. Actually thinking about the next nexus phone and hack a msata drive into it with a custom vacume formed case. The only reason I haven't owned one is because of the storage limitation. I think a 200+ gigabyte msata strapped to the back would fix that problem.

Hey guys, mine originally starting messing up on Saturday, and then Sat night and all day Sun is was fine, and now it is doing it again. I even installed a new rom and it is still doing it so now I am convinced it is purely physical and not rom-related. What are you guys going to do?
I have the Wireless Phone Protection for my phone and am thinking about using that to my advantage to get a new device....question is I've never done it before. If I say I have a physical problem with my phone then won't Verizon want it returned? That will make me have to unroot it and bring it back to out of box state which is a big headache. What if I just say I lost it or it got stolen? Am I better off going that route?
EDIT: Also forgot to mention that along with these power button issues my S3 also will not reboot on its own. If I select Reboot (be it from the power button menu, notification pulldown, etc) it will just shut off and not reboot.....but if I yank the battery and put it back in it will then reboot to recovery. Same deal if I do a normal reboot, haven to yank and replace battery. You guys having these issues too?

So a couple of days ago my power button started acting wonkie as well. I would push it and it basically acted sticky. I would push once but it would register twice or as a long press. Either turning the screen on and off or bring up the reboot menu. So I did the xposed button remapping. Worked pretty well, but if I restarted the phone it would do a weird haptic feedback thing every couple of seconds before finally booting up.
So I wasn't satisfied with just living with it being a hardware issue. So I downloaded latest cleanrom to flash from cm11. I rebooted recovery and now it just vibrates every couple of seconds. Would not make it to twrp. It will get to cm Samsung boot screen but then just goes back to vibrating black screen. I took out battery and popped out power button but same results.
Any suggestions? Think power button can be fixed by repair shop or is it time to go back to my trusty droid incredible until I can upgrade.

It can be fixed. There is also a way of temporarily making the power button work but I don't feel like explaining it again. If you do some searching there are at least 20 threads that have the temp fix in it.

[Q] Device in bootlloop + Can't access bootloader!!! HELPPPP

My Nexus 5 is stuck on the splash screen. I have multirom installed so when i boot after the splash screen the multirom menu comes up. I select to boot the ROM but it never does. The splash screen shows up again and then the screen goes blank. When this happened I was doing nothing but just casual chatting on Whatsapp. I have been stuck many times and most of the times when multirom was installed. I always solved this by flashing factory image by booting into bootloader. But i can't even get to hold it in the bootloader. It just goes blank like the instance above. Please help!!!!!

Press and hold the power button for 20.seconds and see if it boots correctly then

I wish I could. I have written in the OP that the device doesn't stay at the bootloader. If there is any other way please guide me.

Press and hold the power button for 20, which should turn the device off.
then once its off, press and hold the power + vol up + vol down.
if you get there, flash the factory images using fastboot.

You could try the secondary bootloader, hold both vol keys + power. But it sounds to me like hardware failure and rma may be in your future.

I always thought that pressing both vol keys and power gets into secondary bootloader so I always used that, so in shot yes I was talking about the secondary bootloader in the OP. Just to be clear primary bootloader is by holding power and vol - key and plug into PC right? Even this didn't work for me. I just get a second to either go press vol up or down when the bootloader shows up. So either it shuts down or it restarts into the bootloader.

Does it stays in download mode?
Press and hold power key for 15-20 secs to turn off your phone.
Press and hold volume_up key then connect the phone to the pc. You can release the the volume_up key if you see the Download mode screen.
If it stays in download mode then follow my guide about flash stock rom with LG flashtool. Link in my signature.

Guys I guess I got it figured. I guess my power button is stuck. Well it doesn't look so physically but it sure acts that way. For example, when I get into the bootloader for a second and I either press the vol up or down key, as soon as the second is over the option on-screen (power off or restart bootloader) is selected (i.e. the power button is implemented), and the device either powers off or restarts into bootloader. So I flicked my finger on it few times, once it booted normally but then again it looped and once the charging screen was shown and then it again looped. Can anyone suggest some solution?

If your power button is sticking, then you or a service depot have to fix it. There's nothing else to be done except physically fixing it.

Since warranty is borked get a cutter, small piece of quality electrical tape ( to keep button up; TEMPORARY FIX ONLY!)) plastic Credit card and miniature Philips screwdriver and use your imagination I did it myself without any previous knowledge using this BELOW LINKED guide and my brain it's FAIRLY easy if your are careful with connectors and don't screw anything else.

Vid about power button rattle fix (usefull for dissasembly):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ego0eXYwOms
check the teardown and stuff the little strips (1-2 mm squares) of tape with trial and error like kinda sort of a O-ring under the power button the ceramic key must "float" over the edges pieces of tape this IS VERY TRICKY it can be time consuming be patient you can use different material tape but I tried cloth etc and figured out 3M electrical tape was the best due to its softness and thickness... worked for me until I got my new untampered N5 ... good luck and use a clean desk for the sake of not losing parts! And before reassembling make sure you got just enough movement to press the beforementionned power key if you don't you'll have to re-open it and each time it's like asking the devil to kick your butt!
The more you will open it the worst the backdoor WILL GET LOOSE (battery cover pins are weak 3-4 times is kinda max X you can open it before getting loose) your can order B/Whites ones from them for 25$

[Q] Nexus 5 bootloop, can't access recovery

My Nexus 5 is stuck in a bootloop. Each time through the loop, it gets to the Google logo, and then reboots. Each loop takes about 3-4 seconds. If I hold the correct keys to get to the bootloader, it still keeps looping, just looping to the bootloader screen, not the Google logo screen. I have tried letting go of the keys after different lengths of time, and I can never get it to stay at the bootloader, it just keeps looping.
And so, I cannot access recovery.
I should not that this is the phone's behavior while it is plugged in. If it is unplugged, it immediately ceases the bootloop and just goes completely dead, unresponsive.
Any ideas, guys?
Thanks!

If you can access the bootloader it's fixable. Flash the factory image.

[Q] Bootloop randomly!!!

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
