[Q] One X button not turning screen on

Hi,
I have an AT&T One X and it's having this problem of seeming to shut itself off or having the screen not turn on by using the button, but the notification light flashes. When it happens, I can only get it back by a hard reset. Sometimes, when it's happens, the screen freezes while using it and it'll restart. No error shows after restart. I am on 1.85 and I have never rooted it. It's stock and I don't use a case. The phone is not warm or anything when it happens and it sometimes goes 24 hours before it occurs, sometimes not.
I have done a complete factory restore and it still is happening.
I can't use a phone that will just stop working at random.
Does anyone have any ideas? I have contacted HTC and so far the things they've suggested, I've already done (soft reset, hard reset etc)
Thanks!

Try using the stock ruu.. See if that fixes it and if your within your 30 days exchange it

Thanks. What is a stock ruu? Sorry, I'm new to android. I bought it on eBay (it was new, unopened), so I can't return. I had the software update shortly after getting the phone, from 1.73 to 1.85. I'll have to work through HTC service if it's defective.

i suggest u root it.. and try to reinstall the complete software again... use it for a day and check for any issues.. if it still does.. claim warranty
follow this guide closely, covers everything.. wiht download links ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678308
post any doubts or issues in q&a thread in this forum... and dont use any software or downloads from other htc one x (international) forum.. thy have different chipset.
edit : wait is ur power button gone bad? or u r screen goes off randomly and u cant use power button to get it back on?.. as long as it doesnt reboot randomly .. i think u should try above guide
and power button needs a short press.. are u pressing it far too long? its suppose to restart if u keep power button pressed for 10 sec

Thanks. Ok, I might try that rooting, but I wish the software was easily reinstalled if there are update issues.
Power button is Ok. It randomly won't turn the display on, it seems something has crashed software wise. Sometimes, it will freeze, as in turning it back on with the button, and then it freezes when pulling the unlock ring, or scrolling to a widget. Then it restarts, and it is Ok for a bit after restarting.
But on more than a few occasions, I've pulled the phone out to check something or show someone something, and the button won't turn the screen on, or it's shut itself off. Then I do a hard reset and it come to life and seems to work fine for a while.
I'm guessing now this is not a common problem.

Jelly bean (i9023) - Sometimes phone does not wake up

Google Nexus S i9023
Country: India
Carrier: Vodafone
Android version: 4.1.1 (Stock OTA from Google)
Build number: JRO03E
I've been on Jelly Bean for 5 hours. Apart from discovering that the CRT lock screen animation works only very sporadically (another thread here talks about it), 3 times the following has happened:
The phone was on idle, screen turned off. I woke my phone by pressing power button and nothing happened. I waited for almost 10 seconds, and the phone woke up. It took 10 SECONDS TO WAKE UP.
This has happened very sporadically too. I dont know if there's a pattern when it happens and when it does not. Anybody else here experience this problem?
First time it happened, I had Developer Options turned on. I turned it off.
After the second and third time, I restarted my phone.
That was an hour ago. It has not yet happened again, and I am watchful as ever. If someone else has faced a similar problem or knows whats causing it, please do reply!
I cant imagine what I'll do if this happens when I need the phone for an emergency.

sometimes when i press the power button nothing happen !! and i must press it again !

soft reboot? Happened to me before because I was using LBE app which is not compatible with JB, no more soft reboot after uninstalling the app.

Umm.. even with soft reboot, I would see some activity on the screen right? Like the booting animation or something..?
When I tried waking up the phone, it did not give any feedback whatsoever. It just sat there like a piece of dumb plastic for 10 seconds. And then, it nonchalantly showed me the lock screen as if nothing had gone wrong and I had only just pressed the power button.
BTW, it has been almost 6 hours since I restarted my phone and this incident has not repeated itself.

There is not much you can do...if you can´t start phone
even with a jig it´s bricked...it happens to me 2 times last year
without any flashing something wrong or so.
I turned phone off next morning it never wake up again.
I have raed that the reason is maybe the JB bootloader so
After repair I flashed ICS bootloader....we will see if it happens again.
good luck :good:

If I'm understanding you correctly, the phone vibrates 7 times when you plug it into the phone. So what happens when you reboot holding power and volume down? What happens when you just reboot the phone? Please be more specific and give more details.

i try with power on + volume down. nothing happen only vibrate again for 7 times

I am having the same issue on stock software. I bought this used off craigslist a few weeks ago, I used it for a day to check it out and swapped to a Galaxy Nexus. I tried last week and it started doing the 7 vibration thing, so I ordered a new battery and no luck.

step 3 put this file go this ling scroll down till u see attachment PD98img.zip
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2037474
step 4 then put it on the root of your sd card
step 5 hold down the volume and power at same time for about 20 minute till the white screen pop out then leave it there charging
till it ask u for update click volume up for yes and let it do its thing but ill take long procces
Hope this helped ^_^

mine does the same thing. it never goes to bootolader. always stays stuck on htc screen. vibrates like heck for a couple minutes. after awhile, the phone goes to the rom i flashed...i get temp access to it, then it keeps restarting. i took the sim card out and sometimes the phone is operable, then others it is not. i totally think i bricked my phone.
when i am able to get into the restart part(holding power down and restarting with bootloader or recovery) and all it does is restart over and over.

had the same problem.
hey there....
yesterday i had the same issue i was on FB (hehe) when the phone just froze.
i tried to reboot it and then got the 7 wonderful vibrations,
now i tried to reset it buy many ways and nothing seems to work. still black screen 7 vibrations and nothing more.
im really lost don't know what to do next i haven't change the phone rom or updated it and didn't install an app lately that could have caused this mess.
what are my options? yes of course i can go to a lab and try to fix it but im trying to keep it to the last resort.
thanks !

[Q] Continuous bootloop so frustrating!!!!

My Nexus 5 is in a Continous bootloop, i literally cant do anything, it tries to boot and gets to the animation screen and then keeps repeating i tried going to recovery to restore a backup but it will go to the bootloader screen for a few seconds before deciding to try and bootup again and failing, sooo annoying. And the thing is I didnt even do anything to it, i was literally using it a few minutes ago to watch a youtube video, then this happened out of nowhere... Anyone have a clue?? This thing is supposed to last me atleast 2 years, no idea how infuriating this is!

since you have rooted i assume you can return to stock configuration!

Help is at hand...literally
This is pretty crazy, I just came on XDA to post about this as it happened to me this morning and I saw this thread so figured you might be having the same problem. My phone went from working fine one second to an unbreakable bootloop the next, I couldn't get into recovery or anything because it would only flash on that screen for a second before rebooting again. In the end I took to frustration, I waited for the phone to reboot and then hit the power button side against my hand (without touching the power button) before it could reboot again and it finished booting into android! I think it must be a hardware problem in which the power button gets stuck down. It seems to have fixed the problem for now at least and I can use my power button properly.
Hope this helps!

My Dead Nexus 5, Is There Any Hope?

So, I week ago, my Nexus 5 took a dump on me and no longer turns on. When I plug it into a charger, all it does is a continual bootloop and I cannot get it into fastboot, recovery, etc. no matter what I try. All I get is the Google splash screen and it reboots again. Pressing the volume down button as it's booting gets me to the screen where I can attempt to get to fastboot/recovery for about a second before it reboots again. After this happened, I did some research and found that some Nexus 5's have had issues with the power button which seems to be the case here. Has anyone experienced this and if so, were you able to get it fixed?

I saw that recommended on one of the sites I was on while troubleshooting, tried it with no luck. I already ordered a new phone but I had a bunch of pics on it that I would like to have recovered. Ah well, it was worth the ask. I know of a local place that does cell phone repair, perhaps I'll give them a call.

It is very cheap to replace. Btw check goigke photos on web. Maybe they were automaticaly backed up. I found my photos from my smached phone themre

I've used this solution: https://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus5/comments/2rpfuj/nexus_5_broken_power_button_keeps_rebooting/cq6sqs7/ . It helped me to unstuck the button. After I did it, I flashed custom ROM, which can be waked by volume button, and put to sleep just by double tapping home button, so that I don't need to use power button.
