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 have a weird problem where the power and volume buttons don't work when the screen is locked. I know it is not a hardware issue because I had this problem for a couple days, then the power button started working again perfect the next day and now its back to not working. When the screen is unlocked, the volume keys work perfect and controls volume as it normally would. I downloaded some apps to enable the volume keys to work as an unlock button, but they fail to work.
As a last resort, I was going to flash a new rom to see if it would help, however when I boot into recovery mode, the volume keys don't work and i cant move up and down through the options. In addition, I've noticed that when I do a battery pull and put the battery back in, the phone automatically boots up as if the power button was held down.

Your power button is failing. It is a hardware issue. Send it for repair.

Do you have an idea of why the volume buttons aren't working though as an unlock button with apps tho? I also question whether it is a hardware problem because this has happened in the past before and then suddenly the power button works again perfect for months. It is just very annoying for me to sit here and hope for it to start working again.

It's a known issue that when the power button stay stuck the other buttons don't work. It sucks, but that's what it is. Nexus S always had this power button problem and usually you can send it to samsung to get it fixed. Some people have tried to fix it themselves without too much luck...
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.

Hello!
A while ago I asked this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/my-sm-t800-will-not-boot-normally.4016731/post-82060775
and, after not finding anything, left it since then. Now I tried again and found that it actually even works normally - only I need to hold the power button all the time. As soon as I leave, the OS immediately crashes.
Any idea what this might mean and what to do?
Many thx!!!
