Hello,
my power button finally died. Hard nor fast pressing didn’t work anymore, as it did before when this happend.
Then I noticed, when I plug in the power adapter while only pressing the volume down button it boots into the bootloader mode.
Selecting Start or Recovery and it shuts down.
Code:
fastboot reboot
doesn’t help either.
Because there are some files, I tried to replace the power button. But after removing the button it still does the same.
Are there some other possibilities to revive my old Nexus or just get the files?
Thanks.
I had the same issue with power button (first I just move it a little bit after taking nexus apart what helped for few months) but at last this also didn't help.
I went to unofficial mobile service and they did replace my power button and it works 4 months without problem. It cost around ~$30 so I think it was worth it cause I still have working phone. Now I use ROM which allow me to wake up phone with volume buttons just to use power button a bit less.
Had the same problem a year ago, went to unofficial service and they replaced it for about $10 and it's working like a charm since then..

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...
My LG G2's power button and volume rockers appear to have stopped working. My phone is off and USB debugging is off. Is there any way I can power my phone on? Thanks!

The problem is that my phone is off! And I can't turn it on without using the power button it seems.
Is it the button itself that is broken or the functionality of the electronics? I once had to replace the physical button after the guts had fallen out of it. Got to the last step of rooting my phone, went to press that rocker button and ...nothing. I always used the virtual, on screen button for photos, so I never even realized that it was dead. They can usually find them somewhere online

I think it is the electronics because at one point my power button/volume buttons were randomly getting pressed without my input. But, I really don't know for sure.

All phones have a recovery mode which can be accessed by pressing volume up or down (only one) while inserting the USB cable. This powers on the phone for download mode allowing you to restore software.
As mentioned best method is to repair the faulty button but I would try restoring STOCK image/rom first.
Possible solution
Hope that this trick could help someone.
Situation:
- broken power button
- lg g2 off
- WORKING volume button
After lots of tries to power on that damned phone something happens:
1) Charge g2 until 100%.
2) Hold both volume button (UP AND DOWN) and insert power supply
3) be ready to disconnect the power supply immediatly when the lg logo appears
4) disconnect charger (Screen will goes off) keep holding volume button
5) reinsert power supply and when screen goes on release and rehold again both volume button.
And... Magically lg g2 starts!
I really don't know why this procedure works but i currently use this trick to power on the device when accidentally my lg goes to 0% -.-'
Some advice:
Before doing all this combination i've tried holding both volume button when the device was off.. For some reason the red led (charging color) flashed five times then this trick works. Don't know if was just a coincidence. But triying can't do any damage!
So... HOLD FOR MORE TIME YOU CAN THOSE ****** BUTTON.
And pray.
Hope that this will help someone

this worked for me. although I found that I did not have to reinsert the power supply nor did I have to rehold both volume buttons again at the end.
so 5) when screen comes on, release the two volume buttons.
Install Volume unlock, it'll make your volume button unlock the screen

Use ADB Commands to first connect your phone with your pc using a terminal and then use some other adb commands to power it on.
Google for some ADB commands.
Hit thanks
Lg g2 D802 here, non-responding power button. I power on my Phone just by plugging in the power cable and pulling it out when the logo appears. Nothing else. Screen on/off by knock-on funktion.

It souds like witchcraft but it works!
Yesterday I was watching a youTube video and my phone started restarting (crash?). The Google logo and ofcourse the unlock are showing (the device has been rooted a long time now), but it did not go beyond that. I then decided to hold the power button for a long time to manually restart the phone again myself, but after trying to restart my phone is not turning on anymore.
I already tried the standard things like holding the power button for a long time and in combination the with volume up and down buttons. When I plug in my phone it does make a sound like the device is connected to the laptop (most likely the adb drivers and ****.
Is there anything else I can try to get my phone up and running again? Also when in laptop or by adapter the phone does not show any sign of charging. (my phone was 75% full when the phone crashed).
Try holding Power and Vol down only during 10s.
If it doesn't work plug the phone to a charger and try again later.

I have tried that multiple times.
Do you have an early model by any chance? Launch maybe?
I bought mine at launch and it had a faulty power button. This also looks like a random reboot, because the power button is being "held" for a couple of seconds. I also hat a couple of times when I couldnt't turn on the device anymore - again, because the power button wasn't working correctly.

There is a possibillity. The nexus had problems with the power button a year ago. So I now RMA'd it,
So before, my power button gave me issues where it required substantial force to be used in order to get any response. Now all of a sudden, the fingerprint sensor went out as well as the power button itself. When attempting to do a hard reset to correct the problem, the phone won't turn on anymore. So it would seem that the power button no longer works and now I cannot turn on my phone . I've attempted to go into download mode or even the bootloader with little to no luck at all.
Does anyone have an alternative way to power on the phone so I can attempt to backup my data?

This took a lot of trial and error with various button combinations, but I think I found a solution that works.
You must use the wall charger and cord. That's what I used.
1. Press and hold the volume up and down button at the same time.
2. Plug in the wall charger to the charging port.
3. You will see the lg logo on your phone.
4 Right when you see the lg logo unplug the charger from the phone.
5. Continue holding the volume up and down button.
6. LG logo will go away and then come back and your phone should boot.
5. Release the volume up and down button when it starts to boot.
Note: If you don't pull the power cord right when you see the lg logo, it will go into charging mode.
I was able to successfully boot my phone from a powered off state this way 3 times with no problem.
Once you get it booted, you could download an app from the play store to remap a volume button to be a power button as a temporary solution.

fkin ****e it worked. thank you my dude
I have a Galaxy S6 with a faulty power button.
I took it to a Samsung Repair Centre.
After "diagnosing" the problem (which I had to pay for), I was told that the faulty power button was due to "liquid damage" (it has never been in water everything else works fine).
They said it would cost £180 to repair and would require they replace the whole motherboard.
I refused as I cannot afford that repair and would rather consult a third party shop or purchase a brand new phone.
Unfortunately, the state I received the phone back in unusable.
Before the phone was sent in, it was at least in a state where I could at least use it (providing I kept it charged and did not power it off).
Now its just stuck in a recovery mode => restart => no command (boot loop), and I cannot select an option from the recovery mode screen because the power button does not work.
I planned to flash the stock firmware to try in order to get it out of this loop, and I can get it to boot to download mode as the volume buttons and home button work fine.
However, now when I'm at the cyan warning screen it prompts me for volume up to continue.
I press volume up and nothing happens. I know that these buttons work for a fact as in recovery mode I can navigate up and down.
Any ideas whats going on? or what I should try next?
Videos of the issue
(Tinfoil theory: Did they purposefully lock down download mode after inspecting it?)
If you have time, continuously keep pressing volume up and power until it gets you into Odin. Best of luck.
We're on slightly different devices, but mine has the same defect. The power button failed overnight, it worked to start the device but afterwards, the power button became stuck in the pressed state and I couldn't lock the device (not mechanically, it is still clicky). The volume down button still worked (I don't have to hold power to force a restart because it's stuck in the pressed state), I wanted to take a look at the knox status in the download mode, it didn't respond to volume up, this means that it's dependent on not having power pressed. I somehow got the restart confirmation to show with the power button, twice, so it's not completely defective. The volume down button cycled through being stuck and non-clicky, working normally, and being stuck while being mostly clicky, like the power button, though it doesn't seem to be stuck in the pressed state. It's likely because I kept pushing Volume Down for hours in a terminal emulator. Today, it takes 5 mins of torturing Volume Down to restart the device. Eventually, it might fail completely. This device seems to be able to ignore volume up / down if those buttons are stuck and work almost completely normally.
