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

My nexus 5 is currently switched off. Using power button it does not start. When connected with USB, it shows Google logo and continues to reboot at that page only. I tried with volume button keys to start with recovery mode but it reboots immediately in 2 secs and can't even start in recovery mode. What can be done?

Got a repair shop nearby?

Is it possible to repair it at home if I get a toolbox? Any guess, what could be the issue? Do I have to replace power button or is just stuck or something like that?

[Q] what is the best way to boot into recovery/BL 100% of the time

I know it's Power + Vol Down while booting up to get to the BL, but the soft buttons blink 6 times and then nothing happens.
Then i let go of the buttons, try it again, and nothing happens.
SOmetimes holding Power+volDown works, sometimes it doesnt.
What am i missing here
a program called quickboot. Only works for rooted phones
Or
connect phone to computer
adb reboot recovery
adb reboot bootloader
It's very iffy for me, the best is to use a short cut like quick boot or have an extended power menu. But if you must, power down your device, hold volume down and power for 5 seconds (I countdown like the shuttle is taking off lol) then on 5 release power but hold volume down... Should pop up every time

yea i've been using adb, but that's a hassle when im not at home
i guess i'll be giving the app a shot, but what am i doing wrong with the key presses?
should i do it with the phone off?
while rebooting?
from the OS?

how i do it and what i originally read to be the correct button combination is hold down power and volume down for 5 seconds, then release power button while holding volume. should work.

Turn off fastboot in power settings, if it's on when you power off the phone its like sleep, it's not actually off and that would be why it's not working for you.

If you are okay with flashing a better, faster rom compared to stock, CleanROM has this feature from the power menu. Works flawlessly.
Before that, I used adb commands.
I hold down the vol down button, then press and hold the power button for about 2 sec, continuing to hold down the vol down button until you are in the bootloader.
So the vol down button is the trigger for the bootloader.
And you have to have fastboot turned off.

How to boot into recovery?

I'm trying volume up, home, and power. No luck. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks!

Got it. Volume up and down at the same time, and the power button. I kept them held down and the phone just kept intermittently vibrating. I had to let off the buttons after the first vibration.
Power on while holding down BOTH volume buttons when NOT plugged into the computer USB (because this is also the way to get into download mode).

Had this problem too when it would just vibrate the whole time. good thing I learned the differences.

I tried this (both volume buttons and power without usb), but it just boots normally. CWM doesnt come up. I'm stuck in a boot loop right now so I can't use my phone unless I can get into CWM.

Pull the battery and put it back in. Then hold vol - & vol + and power until the 'samsung' logo appears. Then release all. I use two fingers to hold both volume buttons and then my thumb for the power button. I've heard of people thinking they are capable of holding both volume buttons with one finger lol and they usually have issues. This is how you get into recovery regardless of whether you have cwm or factory recovery.

Power button issuues

My power button is activating randomly/with very little input. The power menu comes up randomly and cannot turn off screen with lock button.
Warranty is replacing it. However, I am on KitKat right now.... When I boot into download mode, the phone just reboots after a few seconds. Like the power button is being pressed or held down, not sure. When I reboot the phone, it just keeps rebooting/vibrate and never boots until I hold down power button until splash screen comes up.
Thinking I need to put back to stock so do not run into issues when I send it back to verizon, but still having issues with the phone rebooting into download mode. Any ideas on how to get back to stock or tips?
Should I be concerned about sending a phone that is not stock back to verizon?
Use mobile Odin from the play store. I use it all the time. Just put the stock tar file on your SD card and flash.

[Q] Problem booting up my Nexus 5 (Not rooted)

My Nexus 5 was turning off randomly, and today it turned off completely (80% battery). I couldn't turn on, it didn't respond. I connected it to the cable and it began a Google bootlop, showing it for about 1 second and then showing it again. I'm not pressing any button and the bootlop persists. I cannot enter the recovery mode, it resets with 2 seconds or less. What do I do?
Thanks,
Eduardo
Sounds like you might have a stuck power button. Try mashing it a number of times. If that doesn't work rma the device or get the power button replaced.

[Q] Power Button Issue

My Nexus 5 randomly started to lock and unlock itself, repeatedly. The screen kept flashing on and off and then it rebooted, or tried to. It came up with the google logo and then turned off. If I press vol-down and power, it goes into fast boot but then automatically goes to the google logo as if I pressed the power button to select "Start". Any help is appreciated as my phone is now basically a paperweight.
Take it apart and replace the power button with a new one ?
