Sorry for my bad english. I use google translate.
Hello good day.
I tell you my odyssey.
A month or so ago, scrubbing dishes, my watch got very wet by the bottom of the bottom button. I go into a continuous reboot with an on-screen message that says REBOOTING ... It's as if it got caught. I dried it the best I could and it didn't give problems again. I did all this as quickly as possible so that no sequels were left.
After this mishap for a while if the clock runs out of battery at all and I put it to charge, when it reaches 100% and I remove it from the charging base, when trying to turn it on there is no way. It does not turn on. The only way to turn it on is to put it back on the charging base and press the power button.
Yesterday I put it to charge because it went off completely and when I was carrying a 4% load I turned it on again leaving it on the base. At the time I return and the clock off and the charging light of the base flashing in red ...
I already changed the motherboard and the battery in its day. It is no longer under warranty.
Any idea where to throw? Thank you.
P.S. It has given me to turn off the clock with the 92% battery. Now it doesn't turn on. That is to say that the power button leaving it pressed to exit the shutdown menu if it works but once the same button is turned off to turn it on it will not ...
My problem in a video. In spanish. Sorry.
Currently experiencing the exact same issue with my Gear S3 Frontier. If i keep the top button pressed in, it boots normally and stays there, but if i let go, it acts like its being constantly pressed, and thus, restarts the watch in a loop. Have you ever found a solution to this?

Sounds like you might need to buy and install a new power button connector? They can be ordered online and are quite inexpensive, IIRC. Edit: Yup, still available: https://rounded.com/samsung-gear-s3...ic-sm-r770-volume-flex-cable-gh59-14696a.html

hi
is it possible for the galaxy s3 powre button to stop working? i used a aftermarket battery not sure if it play any part in the dead power button. but want to tell you that too. the power button seem dead to me or something is wrong with it, i take out the battery and put it back and the phone vibrate and a quick flash of the word "samsung" and stay fully dead. it turn on by itself when i insert the battery without pressing the power button. i can do that many times and sometime the phone work and it get to the home screen and all buttons work except for the power button. no matter how hard i press it it wont turn off the screen or anything. anytime i got lucky and it boot to home screen, i plugged in the charger so that way everytime the screen shut off i can turn it back on by unplugging the charger, and that turn it back on... otherwise i cannot turn it back on with the power button...
anyone solved a problem like this power button issue? what could be wrong? i know the phone is not dead ,, so could the powwer button issue trigger multiple issues for the phone?

if you can get it to turn on u can use a app to wake it up by sensor.
Could be related to the 3rd party battery but hard to tell without checking out the internals to see if anything on the PBA got fried.
If you're able to get it to turn on with an app and not able to unlock the screen without use of the charger it may just be somethin to do with your power button itself.
Did anything happen around the time of the issue starting? (New apps, physical or liquid damage, software updates, etc)
Have you tried a known working OEM battery?

I recently purchased the Nexus 5 which has been a blessing up until now when it decided to shut off the screen and freeze or turn off without a way to power up again (there's no way to tell which).
I've tried everything I can think of to reboot the device including:
•Holding the power button
•Holding power button+volume up
•Holding power button+volume down
•Holding power button and both volume keys
•The above while connected to the charger
•Letting it charge for a\an minute\hour\multiple hours then repeating the above steps
Here's all the info I have:
•The phone was in a normal state being used as it usually would before the incident
•The battery level was around 80%
•Right before the incident the speaker used to play back music, video, and apparently allows you to use your voice to input text stopped working.
•Right after the incident the temperature began to rise exponentially (as if the phone was still on but frozen) before cooling and heating again randomly.
Again anyone's input or advice\help will be greatly appreciated! Thank you for your time and of course any suggestions will do so don't be shy.

Yikes. I'd RMA. Sounds like you got a faulty one.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Unfortunately because Google requires another $350 authorization hold before they send a replacement I can not RMA at the moment.
If no button combination turns it on for you, even with the charger...
I think your next best bets are to:
A: Let it DIE overnight.
or B: Let it charge overnight and come to it when you wake up.
If that doesn't work, maybe give Google a good ol' ring?
Those last few words before death on your phone are kind of troubling sounding. Maybe something when haywire?
Was it a Stock Nexus 5?
All of the button combinations did manage to finally turn off the device. So no letting the battery die anytime soon.
It was a stock rooted android 4.4 KitKat.
So I had something interesting happen this morning. I was listening to a podcast app through Bluetooth. I wanted to pause, so I flipped open my case, the screen turned on, and when I pressed the home button (oops I meant to just rest my finger on it. Still getting used to that) my phone...turned off.
Despite the title, I would say it didn't power off. It was like pulling the battery. Screen just turned off and I couldn't get it back on. Pressing and holding the power button didn't do anything. I was unable to do anything until I plugged my phone in. Then the battery charging indicator came on the screen. It was at 93%. I unplugged, and then when I held the power button it booted right up.
I have no idea why it did this. I doubt it was an app issue, since I couldn't get the phone to power up. Anyone else had something like this happen? Other than this I've had zero issues with the phone. I've left it at stock, unrooted.

Did the same problem occurred again?
Nope. Just tried to repeat it, and no issue
Long story short. I finally got brave enough to root my phone. I did it successfully. then I think I killed it . http://forum.xda-developers.com/dro...-droid-razr-m-xt907-183-46-15-t3030852/page58
Then, while trying to get the Verizon wireless hotspot hack to work following these directions, http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-razr-m/general/guide-faq-how-to-root-boot-unlock-t2869432, I got to step 2 and for some reason the changes wouldn't save. so after doing some searching, I read that another person had tried another superuser app and was able to save their changes. So, I downloaded the superuser app and took off the original super SU. Then I kept getting an error that said, I didn't have root access. So I downloaded the original app. I had before from the play store and proceeded to replace it. The app installed fine and then said that the device needed to be rebooted. I hit okayand the phone turned off.
It never turned back on. Pressing the power button for any length of time will not turn on the device. When I press the power button along with the down volume button and hold them after releasing the Motorola logo comes up and then the phone goes dark again. like it's off. It doesn't have any blinking indicator lights nothing. When it's connected or disconnected from the computer. My PC makes chiming sounds like normal, even though the phone looks like it's completely off.
When I plug it into a charger, it stays completely dark, with no indicator lights like it's off. While its plug-in if I push and hold the power button still nothing. if I push and hold the power button and the volume down button, while it still plugged in,the Motorola logo comes up and then nothing again like it's powered off. The second time I repeat that procedure. The battery indicator comes up showing that it's charging. And just to let you know that the first time when all this happened and I saw the battery indicator it was charged at 80% still, so that's not the problem.
so my question is, did I brick my phone? is it permanently bricked? Is there anything I can do about it? or should I just look for a new one?
thank you for any help you could offer.

Without access to the bootloader it is going to be difficult. I recommend you post your question in the dedicated help forum for your device, in case you can get some help from there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-razr/help
Good luck!
Put my sim free s6 on charge last night (wireless) as i always do and when i woke up the green led was flashing quite fast.
I went to wake the phone up using home button and nothing, nothing from powerbutton either. Tried holding down powerbutton and have also tried charging manually but still nothing. What was strange also was that i did not get any charging sound when i inserted the cable to try an charge it.
I am pretty sure its charged though...just will not turn on.
Any ideas?
No completely stock phone, very few apps on it, just over a week old.
Updated to 5.1.1 via ota a couple of days ago.
Just done a bit of a search on the Internet and says to hold all the buttons down which I've done and has now restarted and seems fine.
Does not explain what's happened though
problem solved?
Well it's working fine now but does not explain why it just died for no reason and would not do anything without rebooting with that method.
Phone was 100% charged when started up also....very strange
Got same thing happen to my S6 after updating it to 5.1.1 . Phone have random freeze problem , left it on desk then someone called and a didnt get it up so notification light blinked i wanted to check who was calling but after pressing power to wake it up it wasnt working same with home button. So i had to keep pressed Vol- and power to reset phone . I wonder is it a 5.1.1 bug ?
Hi my phone is a Samsung Galaxy s6 and I've had it about a month the it just stopped working it had no life although when I go to charge it it starts charging but if i try to turn it on it just flashes a green light on the bottom of the phone what is this please
You don't need to hold all buttons down. Hold VOLUME DOWN+POWER for a few seconds and it will do a forced reboot.
I have the same problem with my s6 edge. Tried everything, and nothing is working. Any other suggestions on how to turn on my phone?
Hi! Did you get any responses? I'm having the same problem and don't know what to do
Thanks, this helped me out. 3 buttons at the same time. I did it long, maybe needlessly.
i had my Note 8 phone working absolutely fine sitting at my desk. I picked it up and saw ~50% batt. Got into a subway after 10 minutes and tried to check the time - the phone was completely dead. Tried everything under the sun - read 2 posts before this one and then found out the solution was to hold all the 3 buttons (important to note - the down volume + bixbee + start buttons) all at the same time for almost a minute to get it started.
All this time a green led light was flashing on top right of the phone.
