So I had something interesting happen this morning. I was listening to a podcast app through Bluetooth. I wanted to pause, so I flipped open my case, the screen turned on, and when I pressed the home button (oops I meant to just rest my finger on it. Still getting used to that) my phone...turned off.
Despite the title, I would say it didn't power off. It was like pulling the battery. Screen just turned off and I couldn't get it back on. Pressing and holding the power button didn't do anything. I was unable to do anything until I plugged my phone in. Then the battery charging indicator came on the screen. It was at 93%. I unplugged, and then when I held the power button it booted right up.
I have no idea why it did this. I doubt it was an app issue, since I couldn't get the phone to power up. Anyone else had something like this happen? Other than this I've had zero issues with the phone. I've left it at stock, unrooted.

Did the same problem occurred again?
Nope. Just tried to repeat it, and no issue

So this is a weird problem I just started having today.
After putting my phone away during practice, I came back to find that it had only 1% battery.
It died en route to my room, and when I first plugged it in to my PC, it turned on and worked normally. After a while it turned off.
Now, when I try to turn it back on, the htc Raphael screen comes up, and it makes a short vibration, then goes to black for about 1 second, and then repeats. It has been doing this nonstop.
However, it only does so when it is plugged in to a power source. When it is not plugged in, it is completely unresponsive.
I have the elite RC2 ROM that I flashed back in November.
Any suggestions?
hard reset to start things off.
Hold down the volume down button, center button and then press the reset button with the stylus until you see a screen that says something like "this operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel." then press volume up. Remember you will lose all data, phone numbers and anything else stored on the phone.
i know this problem
I have had several, i solve it taking press the power button long time during the boot.
Of course, the phone must be plugged in to a power source.
Problem solved.
I left it unplugged with the battery out overnight, and then plugged it in to charge, and it did not attempt to startup.
After letting it charge again it worked as normal.
I suppose the battery was so run down for some reason, that even plugged in, it did not get enough power to complete the boot.
It works now. About to flash Elite RC3 and a new radio.
I had my tablet sitting on the desk overnight and went to use it, pressed the button to wake it up, and nothing happened...?
I plugged it into the charger and it makes the charging noise but it doesn't do anything else, nothing on the screen, nothing.
EDIT: I found the reset button it, and that fixed it. Any ideas what would cause this?
I appear to have trouble with my device's power button. I have a Pantech Sky Vega Racer 2 A830S which I took out of the box after a month in storage. It seemed okay the first few hours, but I started to notice that I could NOT put the phone into sleep when pressing on the power button once. It works like 1/10 presses. Sometimes, it even seems to do an extended hold even after just pressing once since the "power off, restart and sound profiles" popup appears.
Thankfully, the power button isn't doesn't seem to have a problem when the phone is off. When the phone is off, I can turn on the phone 100% of the time. Heck, when I remove the battery for a few minutes and turn on the phone again, the power button functions perfectly and I can sleep and wake with just a single press, no matter how fast I do it. Half an hour later it starts going haywire again. It appears this problem is truly isolated to when the phone is turned on. What could the problem be? It doesn't appear to be the physical power button mechanism. Could it be the battery or something power related shorting the buttons or something? The problem seems to be electrical in nature and I'm at the end of my wits here.
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

hw button got jammed!!
try cleaning it up
be carefull!!!
Yeah I'd get some can air for computers and spray it. You may just have a piece of dirt lodged in there. In the mean time you could download an app that can put your device to sleep when you click on it I believe.

hi
is it possible for the galaxy s3 powre button to stop working? i used a aftermarket battery not sure if it play any part in the dead power button. but want to tell you that too. the power button seem dead to me or something is wrong with it, i take out the battery and put it back and the phone vibrate and a quick flash of the word "samsung" and stay fully dead. it turn on by itself when i insert the battery without pressing the power button. i can do that many times and sometime the phone work and it get to the home screen and all buttons work except for the power button. no matter how hard i press it it wont turn off the screen or anything. anytime i got lucky and it boot to home screen, i plugged in the charger so that way everytime the screen shut off i can turn it back on by unplugging the charger, and that turn it back on... otherwise i cannot turn it back on with the power button...
anyone solved a problem like this power button issue? what could be wrong? i know the phone is not dead ,, so could the powwer button issue trigger multiple issues for the phone?

if you can get it to turn on u can use a app to wake it up by sensor.
Could be related to the 3rd party battery but hard to tell without checking out the internals to see if anything on the PBA got fried.
If you're able to get it to turn on with an app and not able to unlock the screen without use of the charger it may just be somethin to do with your power button itself.
Did anything happen around the time of the issue starting? (New apps, physical or liquid damage, software updates, etc)
Have you tried a known working OEM battery?

Like it says, I broke the screen (crushed in the frameworks of my recliner) but it is still powered up. I press the power button, and I can feel it twitch, but it never shuts off. Is there any multi-button way to power down? Not only can I not see my screen, but I think the touch is bad as well. I could not get it to answer the call when I called if from a land line.
I've pulled the SIM, so that all my calls go to vmail.
Good news- I got it to shut off. The only way to tell is to connect it to my PC and see if it enumerates in the device manager. It does not show up under adb or fastboot, so I must have deleted all those keys with the last OOS update.
If I just hold down the power button for about 30 seconds, it eventually gives one big twitch indicating that it is shutting down. After that, it does not enum in device manager any more, although the charging LED is still operational.
More good news- I have a new 7 Pro on the way as a replacement. Looking forward to that.
