My nexus 5 is not rooted , and it had a problem with power button that when I pressed it, it would reboot....
I googled and I found a thread that said to wipe cache from recovery mode ...
I was trying to do that,but when It started to wipe , the phone rebooted ...
and from there,it is stuck on google screen ...
I can go to recovery mode , but because the power button has issues,it reboots and goes back to google screen
Is there any way to fix this?
I need my data on phone,so "factory reset" is my last choice...
Your power button is spoilt, so the mistake was to initiate the wipe with the faulty power button.
You need to get the power button issue fixed before you proceed. It's a common problem which is occurring over time for our device. I had it too and since it was in warranty the service centre just replaced the entire motherboard for free. I was able to start my phone before I gave it for repair by tapping on the power button in different ways. You could try that as well so that you can back it up.

hi guys,
i just god nexus from a second hand store. i want to hard reset it but it does't.
it is stuck in the screen where the little green guy with the triangle with an exclamation mark next to it. please help.
is there a way to load the factory rom manually?
(i know how to jailbrake and downgrade an iphone so this should not be so hard)
Hold volume down and press on once you see menu with recovery
press volume again and you will see option for clear storage - thats what you want
that is what i have done already. but why is the mobile preventing me from hard reset ?
I have been hanging around the XDA forums (as well as every other forum I could think of) and have been unable to solve my re-set problem.
I got my Nexus S about a week ago and decided to unlock it. That went well, no problem. Then I decided to root using Superboot - that did not go well. Now my phone is unresponsive, just sits on the Google name with an unlocked padlock on a black screen. I can get into fastboot mode by using the volume up and power button if I do this right after replacing the battery. I cannot seem to go anywhere else. Once I got into a menu that would let me install from sd card, but none of the options would install. I followed the following directions to see if I could do a hard reset:
Hard reset Nexus S using hardware buttons
This option is recommended if you are unable to access the options via the Android OS.
1. Turn the phone off by pressing and holding the Power button for about 2 seconds, the tapping Power off. Alternately, you can pull the and replace the battery.
2. Press and hold the Volume Down button while pressing and releasing the Power button.
3. Continue to hold the Volume Down button until you see a menu appear.
4. Now tap the Volume Down button to scroll down to the Clear Storage option.
5. Press the Power button to select Clear storage.
6. Press Volume Up to select Yes.
After a few minutes the hard reset process will be completed and you can reboot your phone to factory default settings.
I never get to the clear storage option, although I have tried data/factory reset and wipe cache. I can get to the android with the triangle and exclamation point but that will just sit for ever, and removing the battery at that point and then rebooting does not work. It just takes me back to the Google and the unlocked padlock. FWIW - my phone updated right before I unlocked it. I don't think it is bricked, but I sure can't get passed the Google name or the Triangle/android.
Thanks for any help.

I've the same problem now - did you ever resolve yours?
Here is how
Power off by removing battery
Hold vol up not down and power,
release power and you get Fastboot mode
vol down to recovery and click power
You get the screen with Android + triangle
Click up and Power again for few seconds
you will get the 'Android Sys recovery'
However if you have my problem 'error in loading the built in SDcard memory this wont help.
The only way i managed to get it to work some times although not now, is to reboot the mobile while it is connected to a PC, and load the PC at the same time.
However this time i am stuck at Google screen

Hey everyone,
I updated to android 4.4.2 (OTA) about 2-3 weeks ago and I have noticed that my batter life has become horrible. The phone is not rooted and had perfectly fine battery life before the update. Now it goes from 100% to 70% with less than an hour of screen on time. I have read that after large updates like KitKat a factory reset is a good idea but I wanted to hear opinions from others first. Please help me out. The phone isnt very old either as I got it September 2013.
Thanks in advance :laugh::good:
Exactly the same story, from 100 to 60 in almost one hour of normal usage!

Its awful it makes the phone completely unusable in my opinion! If anyone can help us out PLEASE DO!
Check out your battery usage - is "Android System" consuming 70% or more of the battery? If so, the installation was buggy and a factory reset may be necessary. Or, you can root and use Tr1gg3r's version in the development section.

I did a factory reset but im not sure if its done correctly. I may sound stupid but it gave me an option to do a reset where I can keep my pictures, music, etc. I chose that option. Should i have done the reset where it removes my data as well?
My friend have this problem. After upgrade from 4.2 to 4.4 the battery consuming is very fast. Before this upgrade it was very good the battery consuming.
People have found a solution?
FIXED IT!

Guys! I found a solution. This worked for me and hopefully it will work for you too.
Firstly if you arent prepared to do a factory reset try wiping the partition cache. HTC told me to this and here are the instuctions given by them
Wipe Partition Cache (In rare cases unforseen consequences can happen and corrupt the data, so make sure you have a backup if there is some data you absolutely cant lose)
1 Power off phone (be sure to turn off fast reboot in settings first).
2 Boot into recovery by press and holding the volume down key and then at the same time hold power key until boot menu appears. (you will see 3 green men in the buttom of the screen)
3 Press Volume down until you have selected RECOVERY then tap power key.
4 HTC logo appears followed by blank, dim screen. Briefly press simultaneously: power key and volume up then release immediately. You may have to do this step a few times to get the timing right.
5 Black screen appears and SD card error message scrolls. After about 5-10 seconds, recovery menu appears (all in very small font). Press Volume-down to Select "wipe cache partition" at bottom of list and tap power key. Cache gets cleared. Then select "reboot system now" by tapping power key again (this choice highlighted). Done!
Note: if you get a picture of a red triangle with a phone in it dont be scared just hold the lock/power button and the phone will turn off.
Then if wiping the partition cache didnt work then im afraid you will need to do a factory reset
Go to settings and then Backup& Reset. From here select the factory reset option. If it asks you if you want to keep your personal data(pictures videos music...) say you dont want to( this means you will need to back up everything on your phone.
Once you have factory reset it install your apps and use as per usual.
When you have to charge it drain the phone to 5-8% and then charge it fully. Only do this if possible. I have noticed by charging like this i get excellent battery life compared to before trying all the things i have written above.

Hi,
I
My wife is having the same problem after the update. I will try this.
Tried the fix, but unfortunately didn't work.
My phone is on 5.1.1 custom Rom. I am having issues with random reboots. I did fresh install after flashing factory image. Phone reboots randomly and stuck on boot logo. After several attempt to restart phone, it goes into Android optimizing app screen and starts optimizing few apps. it boots normally after completion. how do i solve this issue.
I am really pissed with this issue. I havent installed any other kernel but phone continues to reboot to "Optimizing apps 1 of 166" screen.
Please help.
It looks like phone get bricked. I tried to wipe data, system, cache to install Rom but phone gets restart. I am able to reboot to bootloader but phone gets restart again. How do i install factory rom with this issue.
Problem of power button
This is not a software problem as this optimization of apps is due to the failure or shot of power button have you ever noticed this happens only when. You use power button ..
These are solutions for you
If your phone is under warranty carry it to the service center.
If not it is so expensive that the authorized service request you to change whole mother board.
Better find any local service center to replace power button..
Or use apps like gravity screen which helps you to use the phone without the need of power button but concern is it consume more battery..
Or
Rapidly press your phone power button until the phone is completely on till home screen is visible this is only a temporary solution
As I am junior member I can't share any link of the video about nexus 5 power button failure
Just search in YouTube for nexus 5 power button then you can a video of 2min 6sec just do as same may help you
Hello,
I have problem with my S6 (64GB) with Back Button. From yesterady it has been pressing this button continuously . Before that it was like once or twice a day, but I didn't care. Restart is not a solution. I tried to wipe cache memory, but it didn't work as well. The phone is completely undamaged, buttons are clean, 2months old, from mobile operator. First day after purchase I had to repaired it, because it was overheating and they replaced motherboard. Do you know guys some solution?

Thank you.
Have you tried booting into safe mode? That will disable any 3rd party apps that might be causing the problem.
1 Power the device off
2 Press and hold the Power key.
3 When the device vibrates; release the Power key and immediately hold down the Volume Down key
4 Keep pressing the Volume down key until the device boots up completely.
5 If successful, Safe Mode will appear on the device screen in the bottom left corner.
I have exactly the same issue. Is your knox 0x1?
Had that problem, software problem you need to restore the firmware, download your phones software from sammobile.com and flash it to your phone and it should fix the problem.
I got a samsung a10e the back button keeps backing up by itself how can i fix it
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?
