THIS IS NOT A HARDWARE ISSUE
Screenshot will always work. Tap on/off will always work.
I have an LG G Flex 2 (H950 on H950PR firmware 5.1.1) and I noticed sometimes I can't turn off the screen or get into the boot menu (Power Off, Power Off and Restart, Airplane Mode) with the power button.
Sometimes it will tell me to keep holding power for a few more seconds and/or tap volume down. This will allow me to get my power button working normally again. but sometimes I don't even get this option and I need to use a rooted app to restart and that will fix the problem.
I am a battery doctor user, root user, Xposed user, and my IO Scheduler is changed from CFQ to Deadline.
Anyone have any idea how to fix this or is this some safety feature to make sure I don't turn on the phone while it's in my pocket?

I dropped my NS the other day and now the power button has became very finicky. I've read about others with power button problems but from the issues I'm experiencing I think the problem might be software related and not caused by dropping it.
When the screen is off, hitting the power button always turns the screen back on but sometimes brings up the power menu
When the screen is on, press and long pressing the power button doesn't do anything
When the phone is off, pressing the power button turns the phone on, and I can get to the bootloader using the power + volume up
The power button issues I'm having only seem to happen when the screen is on, otherwise the power button works like it should. I've clean installed my rom twice but the porblem stays the same.

Hardware.
It will probably fail on you completely eventually.
i have a 32gb white nexus 5, fully charged. stock OS, rooted with TWRP recovery. using Faux123 kernel.
what's weird is that i am unable to turn on the device:
- if i power off the phone and attempt to power it on
- reboot the phone (it will shut off like it's rebooting, but won't turn back on)
pressing and releasing the power button, holding the power button for X amount of time and releasing, etc will not turn on the phone.
in order to turn it back on i have to use vol down + power...even then i have to hold it, release, hold, release, etc and by random chance the phone will boot into bootloader.
the power button doesn't seem to be the issue because it works fine turning the display on/off while the phone is on.
i have not figured any pattern or why this is happening.
has anyone else experienced similar issues?
Your best bet is to go back to stock. Stay stock for a bit and have a baseline to know how your phone is. Then after you start customizing it with 3rd party kernels, ect, you'll know if it's the phone or mods you did.
Same probleme here
Hi
My nexus 5 running into issues again. .
It automatically goes to silent mode. After increasing the volume again it goes back to silent mode.
I can see the volume bar decreasing from full to vibration in front my eyes.
Also sometimes the power button won't work for sometime.
If I tried to reboot, it automatically goes into recovery mode without pressing any combination of keys.
Once I press volume button it goes into one of the recovery settings and gives a message NO COMMAND
After multiple hits of power button or some combination will boot the phone into safe mode sometimes..
Now I am stuck with its issue of automatically turns into vibration mode.
I am worried to reboot bcause it may stuck in recovery.
Any solution...
I used to have this issue in lollipop and got fixed in marshmallow..
But recent patch fix update in December gives the problem again. .
Please someone help or forward to a thread which helps to clear this problem,m
Sounds like you may have a sticky power and volume button.
Maybe open up the phone and swab around the buttons with a bit of alcohol, then rapidly press and release the buttons using slightly more pressure than normal. Not too much pressure though.
I've had my phone for about a week now and had this happen this morning. Power button wouldn't turn on screen/do anything and volume down wouldn't do anything. Had to use the home button to get the screen to respond. After holding down the power button and volume down I was able to reset the phone and the issue is no longer present. Should I just assume this was some kind of software hiccup or should I go the route of trying to get it replaced for being defective? Anyone else run into this issue? Any help would be awesome. Thanks guys.
I had an issue with my power button failing to respond. Because of it I couldn't restart my phone (and we can't get any restart apps without root) so I had to use the built in scheduler to force restart my phone.
Found that in settings -> backup and reset -> Auto restart. Supposed to be used to "optimize your device by restarting it automatically at set times" :/

My notifications seem to turn off randomly. Is this caused by some programs changing them during use? Can this be stopped and if so how?
It is most vexing.
Two things to try.
1:Soft Reboot(Battery out emulation).
Fully hold in the Volume button and keep it held in whilst then holding in the Power Button until the phone reboots.
2:Boot to Safemode and see if it happens there?
Phone on>Press Power Button and then Long-Press the shutdown option.
If it doesn't happen in Safemode it's usually a user installed app that is causing the problem so then it's detective work to find out which one.
