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 power button does not work at all. It doesn't put the phone to sleep nor can it wake it up. Holding it down doesn't even give me an option to shut it down and presumably it can't turn the phone on either.
So basically I think I just wore the button down. Now in spite of that, is there a way to reflash a new ROM without being able to turn it on using the button? I mean, if I remember the procedure correction, you just have to turn it off to take the sim card out and to put it back in. Can I forgo this step?
I mean, I am just sliding out my keyboard to wake it up but I fear if my battery ever fully runs down.
Try to Hard reset your device..
To perform a hard reset
1. Pull out the stylus.
2. With the device turned on, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN and ENTER buttons, then press the RESET button with the stylus tip.
3. Release the RESET button, but continue pressing the VOLUME DOWN and ENTER buttons until you see this message on the screen:
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.
4. Release the VOLUME DOWN and ENTER buttons, then press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
Yup, didn't work. Am I boned if my phone ever turns off? Jeez, and I just received that extra battery too.
Is there a way to remap the sleep button to the PTT key?
you dont have to pull out the stylus or have the device on to do a hard reset. just turn on the device and immediately hit volume down and center. once the screen lights up you can let go then wait for the reset message and press volume up.
anyways, if you have a att fuze, take it in, its under warrenty, theyll replace it. in any case you need it fixed. you cant live your live hoping your battery will never die. you cant turn it on or flash a new rom or anything without a working power button. if you dont have att im sure you can call htc and tell them you want it fixed and theyll mail you the supplies to get it shipped. just hope you can live without it for a couple days. its youre only options if you want it working.
I came back here all excited to post that it suddenly started working but it is back to the way it was.
The phone is really old so it's just of warranty and I don't think it is worth it to have it fixed when so many other problems are wrong with it. I guess it's time to be looking at new phones.
And now the power button is working. This phone just boggles the mind, people. I'm sure it'll stop working in a couple of hours though. Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this? Maybe a short due to rain or something? Worn down contacts?
Same power button over here.
Sorry for reply on an old article but Google won't help me. I'm havin' the same problem. Na responds on the power button neither can i do a hard reset.
Anyone has a sollution. Phone is out of warranty ...
Is it a hadware problem of something with the software. Still has the (updated) stock rom. I've tried to reflash it with this latest rom but this didn't solved the problem.
Solved (for the time being..) The button seemed to be stuck. With my fingernail I managed to 'lift' it.
I have a Fuze that wants to shutdown all the time. I usually run EnergyRom on it and the slide to shutdown screen keeps popping up. When I run a stock rom on it, it also shuts down, as if someones holding the power button.
has anyone ran into this issue or have any idea how to fix it? I've searched for a while and can't find anything.
thanks!
Opening up the phone enough to get to the point that you can remove the power button itself and clean that area of the phone should fix the problem.
This even helped me on my previous phone where I thought the button was losing sensitivity. After reassembly the button worked beautifully again.
I had the same problem...and then all of a sudden my power button stopped working altogether...its weird because it works fine to turn the phone on, but once it boots it doesnt turn off the screen or bring up the shut down menu or anything
how did you manage to remove it to clean it out?
Hello everybody,
I have an annoying problem, I am running seans jelly bean 4.0t Rom with the latest update. My issue is when I press my power button once from an off screen state, the screen turns on, shows the power down menu, and then the screen goes black and I get the phone vibrating at every two second intervals. I can do a hard reboot from this point by holding the power button down for ten seconds and the phone will reboot. I have worked around this issue by using the wake screen with volume button feature, but I would like to be able to use my power button again. It does this problem everytime I press it once, it even does it after a clean flash with wiping everything 3x. Has anyone run into this issue before? I have searched for a problem like this, but haven't found any like this. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advanced
I recently rooted my new Gooapple V5-3g. Everything was going fine and I was starting to download apps from Google Play, add contacts, etc. I was listening to the fm radio today and turned the volume down, then tried to turn it back up. It would not respond when I used the volume + button, so I tried to reboot. I powered down, then held the power button to power back up. Although I did not hold the volume + button while I was pressing the power button, it went straight into Recovery mode. Every time I reboot, it goes straight back to Recovery. If I power off, then back on again, straight to Recovery mode. I accidentally went into factory mode (trying every combination of buttons to override my 'stuck' volume + button) and did a Key Test...VlmUp was the only key that failed.
Would this be most likely to indicate a hardware problem? Or is there something that I could have done to cause this (by rooting)? And does anyone have the slightest clue if there is something I could do to fix it?
I bought the phone from Android-sale about a month ago. The only problem I noticed when I first started playing with it was that auto-rotate would not work in text-mode (tried setting it every-which-way in both settings and the android pull-down menu, to no avail. It works in everything else. Other than that, the volume button/Recovery mode is my first issue.
Any and all advise is greatly appreciated!
stucked in factory mode
I am stucked in this "Factory Mode" with these options available...
full test
item test
test report
clear flash
version
reboot
Please advise me what to do..... is it bricked......? i felt so helpless.
see picture. It doesn't recognise any rom at all.
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?
