Hi there everyone !!
So basically there is a known issue of voulme button getting stuck on the note 5 and because of that it can get stuck in download mode or safe mode.
DO AT YOUR OWN RISK
Fix =
I just wanted to help people who had this same problem like me.
What you need = 2 alcohol pads and patience.
Just turn off the phone if you can and rub the buttons, push them and tap your hand on them.
Slowly like mine popped out in 5-6 minutes
Dont push hard.
GOOD LUCK

n I had my infuse in my pocket and when I pulled it out it shut down on me, and ever since then all it does is reboot all the time. When I pull out the battery and put it back in, then phone just turns on by it self. When I try to charge it it shuts off then turns back on with the charging symbol and it does it over and over. I cant put put it and download mode and I can't put it into flash mode either. I brought it too two places to get it fixed and one person says the board is fried and the other tells me that it's bricked and he can't fix it..

He people you took it to are terrible repair people...its just a bad power button...like the actual inner button (not the part you can see) is stuck down
Some one haduck by rapidly pressing the power button to get it unstuck
Another guy took his phone apart and sprayed the power button with compressed air to remove dust and other things that may be getting it stuck
And another guy replaced his with one from a different infuse
And another guy sent his in to some repair shop for I think $50 to get it fixed

Thank you guys, I'm gonna go and pick it up right now and check it out I will keep you guys posted ..
So, I got my phone back and I took it apart myself. I tried blowing out the phone with a dust remover spray and pressing the button to un-stick it and nothing happened. So I think it might be the actual button that is connect to the board on the phone. I don't know who to bring it too down here, cause it seems that everyone is afraid to change it for me. So I guess my Infuse is no longer in service and I'll be looking for another phone
Update, so it is the power button, I had booting up, but then it started to boot loop again. I just need to get the button replaced.

Good work by mg to recgonize the symptoms.
Not relevant to op, but something for everyone to consider: using a software tool to turn off your screen instead of power button.
If you put an icon on your homescreen to turn the display off (without pressing the power button), you save up to 50% of the cycles on your power button (or somewhat less if you tend to let the screen timeout instead of turning it off).
It can easily be done with tasker. The tasker command is called "System Lock" (sounds ominous, but just turns off the screen). I have that on my home screen, just above the home button. That makes it an easy two press maneuver to turn of the screen.
It looks like there are some free Apps on the market that do the same thing. Here's one (I haven't tried this one myself, just posting for info)

Hi All!
Today is a very unfortunate day for me.
I was viewing whatsapp and all of a sudden my phone turned off, turned back on and it has been rebooting ever since.
I have tried all possible troubleshooting steps to see why it is happening but I can't even get into other screens like recovery, bootloader because it restarts right away.
Had a chat with Google and they wanted me to send my old phone and place a hold in my credit card -blablabla.
Obviously when they receive my defective Nexus, they will see the bootloader screen with an UNLOCKED icon.
That will be bad for me - because they could charge me money for a new device (the one they are sending ahead).
I would rather wait for the Nexus 6 instead of repaying for my defective 5.
Is there a way to maybe force it to be locked again before I send it in?
I have one of those JTAG connectors and I was just wondering if it will make any sense if I try that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
It sounds like your power button is stuck. Mash it a number of times and see if that frees it up.
Also, if you have a case take it off

Yup, seems to be an hardware problem with the power button.
By the way, if you can't fix it : Seems that Google doesn't care about unlocked bootloader if it's an hardware fault
I actually initially though it was the power button so I removed the case check and mashed it a lot but how it turns of turns ON doesn't make sense because if the power button is stuck usually you have to wait 3-4 seconds before it turns off.
The behavior is like this - Google Splash screen, 1 second pause, vibrate, turn off - Google Slash Screen, 1 second pause - NON stop.
Still it could be possible but I'm hoping they wont charge me anything if they send me a new phone. I would rather wait for the Nexus 6.
They actually asked me if I was rooted and I said NO. There was a chat log on it. Oh well.
I had a similar problem and I think it was the power button as well. I RMA'd it but I kept smacking the crap out of the back of the phone and around the area of the power button. I noticed it'd start getting further through the boot process and eventually I was able to get it to boot all the way through and actually stay. I guess I smacked it hard enough to knock out the button, but I still went with the RMA anyways.
Maybe try smacking it around and see if it stays on longer?

I think you are all right. Now that I got home and observed it more. It is a stuck power button! I'll try to smack around it and have the bootloader locked in again and RMA it.
Do you think once they see it is being rooted, they will void the warranty even though it is obviously a power button issue?

Holy $hit I cant believe it! I smacked it like a crazy person and it worked!!!
I'm going to wipe out everything and put it to stock!!! and still RMA it yohooooo
Hi,
This has happened already thrice, but this time it was too much. Each time I was using my phone in the rain the home button was more and more unresponsive, forcing me to press it harder in order for it to work, but it was fine until recently.
To my dumbness, I insisted on using my phone while it was raining, and after some time the phone's not been exposed to water both home buttons and capacitive buttons started to malfunction. It seemed as if all the three buttons were pressing themselves without command, and trying to press one of them myself resulted in no reaction.
I used the good known old trick, that is, putting the phone into a bowl with rice, which really helped. The buttons do not press themselves anymore, though I have to apply very strong pressure on the home button for it to work. Weirdly, sometimes even that does not result in a reaction, somtimes I only have to press it just a little bit harder and it works for a longer period of time, then again starts to malfunction. The phone has been lying in the rice for over 12 hours straight, so I assume it would not help any further.
Any ideas on how could I fix that?
Also, the warranty is long over.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
So I have been using nexus 5 from the start and a few months ago the phone started showing some weird signs.
It was shutting down every time I used the power button and if I tried to turn it on it would turn back off.
So I remapped the volume button as a power on and power off and even installed a custom ROM. It was all working perfectly , I was using volume button to turn on the screen. Sometimes I even used power button for screenshot and no problem.
But yesterday my phone just gave up one me.
It will go up to the google screen and then just stay there .
So I thought it was because of the aosp ROM so I managed to go into twrp recovery , wiped everything including system and flashed the stock image of marshmallow .
It did turn on and reached till the setup and page and then again turned off.
So now sometimes it does turn on goes to google screen and then shuts down.
I am able to go into bootloader mode by pressing volume down and power button .
But the damn phone won't go past google screen
Sometimes it does then it again turns off.
Does anyone knows what is happening?
Ive Been having same problem. Couldnt access factory reset Via recovery says only "No command".
You need to replace your power button it is a known problem for many N5 users

I did open up my phone and cleaned it but it didn't work.
Are u sure about that?
I read somewhere on reddit that because of not using the nexus charging cable sometimes the boot ic gets damaged. Can that be the case?
It's the switch. Very common problem, I recently bought a 5-pack of the switches and replaced the one on my wife's phone.
How did you clean it? Did you use a bit of spray solvent in it (there are YouTube videos on this). Cleaning with solvent also did not work for me.
If you don't have the tools + experience needed, DO NOT TRY TO REPLACE THE SWITCH YOURSELF! The switch is smaller than a grain of rice and you can damage the phone.
It took me three tries - one of them I dropped the switch and lost it, one I bodged the soldering and had to remove the new item. My soldering iron is not the greatest but at least it has temperature control and I have multiple tips for it. The ground plane of the board that the switch solders to wicks a lot of heat and that makes it hard to get the old one off, the tiny through holes are very hard to clear.
So I suggest that you will need someone who has experience and the correct tools for soldering surface mount components for this job.

Okay thanks . I will try finding a repair shop.
Good morning,
Following an accidental water dive of < 2min my Google Pixel 2 appears to be bricked. It was dried out for a day, then powered on. The phone loads to the screen shown below. I am unable to select "start", or any other action on this page through touch or hard buttons.
There is no loss of critical data considering a recent backup.
Is there anything I can try to revive the device?
Vol. Up + Vol. Down + Power Button brings me back to the screen pictured below.
Thank you,

Turn it off immediately. Get yourself a phone/tablet rescue desiccant kit and put your phone in the bag for at least a week. You can also use rice if you have it on hand, although it isn't as efficient at absorbing moisture and creates a small amount of dust.
I highly recommend these if you can find them:
The beads turn pink when they absorb moisture.
It is now drying, thank you for the product recommendation
Once the water is dried out, is there any recovery mode? A hard reset? What should be my plan of action to get out of this screen?
Thank you
For anyone interested, the GP2 died in a rescue kit. I get a red led indicator (top right) when i plug it in, but nothing show up on screen. Pressing and holding power + Vol+ + Vol- shows the red LED again, but still nothing on screen.
As for replacement, I would love to continue with the Pixel lineup for its naked optimized android. Unfortunately, I cannot get passed the reported connectivity issues since i'm always quite the distance from cell towers.
I like the S22 durability and camera, but the bloatware is overwhelming.
I like the One Plus 10 battery life/charging but the android auto not working well is a huge turn off. Ain't nobody got time for wires. And reported camera to be worse than the One Plus 9.
I'll probably try to keep using my older phone until the next gen hoping they will be more appealing.
Save yourself the trouble and don't go swimming without emptying your pockets.
Cheers
