Hi,
In the last few weeks my tablet started to turn off randomly, it happens only when the screen is off (it doesn't happen while I'm using it.)
Every time after that, the tablet turns on only when i press the power button, the vol+ and the vol- for a really really really long time.
I tried to switch my rom and it's still going that way.
Please help :\

I think my problems began when I installed the OTA 4.2 update recently. The entire system bogged down and became pretty much unusuable. Often, I had to press the power button 3-4 times to turn on the screen if the screen timed out. Sometimes I would have to wait for at least 5 minutes before I could wake the screen again.
But since a week, I can't get my Transformer Infinity to wake up, at all. When I press the power button nothing happens. If I hold it for a long period of time (10 seconds) it gives a short buzz, but nothing visible happens otherwise.
I have tried pretty much everything I can imagine now. I have even tried to drain the battery completely (then absolutely nothing happens when I press the power button) and re-charge the device, but the problem persists. I have tried to start it connected to the keyboard dock and without, but for no reason.
Connecting the TF to a desktop computer doesn't seem to do anything either.
Please, can anyone give me a hint?

Sorry, but I think it's time to call Asus Tech support for an RMA.

Hmm i often have he issue with needed to press the power button a few times to wake the screen. Just thought it was 'one of those things' hope this doesn't happen.

Actually, I have had that problem for months, and I thought it was "on of those things" too, but it instantly got worse after my 4.2 update. Up until last week when it just stopped turning on again all of a sudden.
I have also tried plugging the MicroHDMI to a larger screen, but the screen just complains that there is no signal in the HDMI cable.
I have contacted my local ASUS support in a vain hope they can direct me at a solution that doesn't involve me loosing my device for a lengthy period of time and getting it back without my precious (un-backuped:crying vacation photos.

A lesson learn, I always keep all my stuff on sdcard, never on internal storage.
Same Problem Here
I just got my tf700t April 17, and I used it for a few days and did the updates before going on vacation for a week. After a few days on vacation, I noticed the volume rocker wasn't responding all the time. I tried to restart the tablet, and once it shut off, it never came back on. Same issues as original post... Screen doesn't turn on. If I hold the power button down for 10 seconds it vibrates, but nothing happens. Very upset to spend this kind of money on a tablet to not even be able to use it for a week. I will be sending it in for RMA... I have tried everything in every post to try and fix the problem, but the screen just doesn't want to turn on. Hope Asus will be quick about it!!!

Not really sure what happened, but I left my tablet alone for about 5 days. Had to plug it in to charge it back up obviously. The next day turned it on, and all I get is it vibrates once, than just vibrates infinitely screen is not turning on I think. I tried the reset button, recovery mode nothing happens just goes straight back to vibrating. It seems I can enter APX mode, since it vibrates once and than stops my computer sees it but cant find device software to install for it, and shows up on devices as "APX" unidentified.
I even popped it open, pulled the power connector for the board and backup battery let it sit for a day; plugged it back in and still same issue as before. I bought it 9 months ago in December only real issue before this, is that it froze a few times but went away on its on after a reset.

You can give this a shot...:fingers-crossed: you need to hold the power button + volume up for about 10 seconds. You will feel the first vibration and keep holding both buttons for another few seconds then you will feel the second vibration. After the second vibration, you need to release both buttons as the same time then wait for a few seconds after that. You can try to power it up and see if it works.. Please report back and good luck.. :fingers-crossed:

I'll try that, I just recently left on the blank apx mode, to let the battey die completely. Now Im charging it again to see if that worked if not i'll try your idea.
Hey everybody. I was looking the old threads, trying to find a solution to my problem but i didn't find anything.
I believe my power button is stuck!
The Moto G keeps turning on, and on, and on, and always takes the same time to turn itself off.
The screen keeps turning on, and then it freezes on the Motorola white screen, and then vibrates and turn itself off after 4 secs.
The same happens on recovery, after 4secs it turn itself off and then turn on again in the white screen.
When the problem started i thought it was a kind of soft brick then i've did everything i could to try to fix it reinstaling some software, then I noticed the time to turn it of/restart was equal on the normal boot or in the recovery. I realized that I could open the cellphone and when I connect the battery without pressing the power button he keeps ON when i'm in the recovery, then I flashed a ROM to make sure it wasnt a softbrick and now i'm concerned that somehow my power button is stuck.
Does anyone know what can I do to fix it? :/
Thanks,
Sorry for my poor English, it's easier when reading, but its really hard writing.
I don't understand how exactly can I explain the situation, but I'll be as specific as I can. Please try to understand and help me from this.
My Nexus 5 is on Marshmallow without any roots etc ever. Now, the problem goes like this:
Suppose I press power button once, then screen should turn on/off once. Now this which happens normally in any phone happens in mine for first few times, then it starts like if I press power button once to turn screen off, it goes from off and turns back on, I again press power button, again from on it goes off and back on, this keeps on happening until I try my luck for it to off, but then sometimes it happens like after so much pressing it eventually show me "power off" option on screen(which generally should open if I hold the power button). Now once I encounter this "power off", no matter what I do, I power off/not, it'll automatically turn off, and this happened atleast 10+ times till date. So finally whenever I encounter "power off" option, which sometimes comes when I try to turn screen on or sometimes off, but never I hold the power button, but finally even If I don't click on power off, it'll power off.
And that isn't yet strange till there, normally now "Google" shows on screen when device is powered on, but here after encountering "power off" it shows "Google" and turns off.
This problem has happened to me from maybe starting a week ago, atfirst I ruled it as maybe hardware problem, cause after 3 factory resets, nothing changed, but then when I did wipe system cache and data format from recovery screen, everything got resolved. But this too remained for 2-3 days, again same problem started after it, I this time cleared system cache from recovery, and this time too it helped somewhat. so I can atleast say that it isn't a hardware power button problem, but something which I don't know what, always creating problems from software.
Now this problem has developed itself, because now the power button is kinda working okay, but now the "power off" comes on screen automatically, I can say once-twice a day, and as explained 'n' times before, once I encounter this, mobile turns off.
So everytime I've to turn phone on after this, and pray that it doesn't repeat, but it's yet going on, and i'm so pissed off by this phone, I regret buying this, honestly as till now mentioned I tried whatever I could/I knew, but nothing, nothing's helping me.
Also the problem intensifies when phone is on charge & "power off" is encountered, then the phone goes to turning off and "Google" is shown, then it shows "Google" then turns off, then it shows "Google" then turns off, and this loop keeps on going.
Finally I hope i'm as clear as possible, if someone can please help, I can guarantee any kind of format will just resolve the problem for few days only, and hardware power button problem i'm not feeling it as formats basically help it great, but anyway if I'm going wrong somewhere/need proper explanation somewhere then please tell but resolve this asap.
Phone's from India and it's been 1 year since bought and atleast a month from the Marshmallow OTA update and this problem started randomly without me doing anything I guess from a week ago.
I think you should take a look at that power button.
It's your battery. I was having the same problem with my nexus, I replaced the battery and the reboots are gone.
Mine did this exact thing a couple of weeks ago. really annoying and couldn't put my finger on it, until i got so annoyed that when it came up with the power off notification I repeatedly pressed the power button for maybe 20 times, this resolved it for a few days, though to be honest, the best advice that someone posted, was that a sharp shock to the side of the phone that the button is on resolved it, been over a week now and it's been fine.
I put it down to the case i had on it, harbouring small dirt that was getting into the button housing and interfering.
try it out, failing that, perhaps a new power button, i did have one in my ebay basket, though i don't need to go down that route, not for the foreseeable anyway.
**edit
incidentally, i went down the software route too wiping caches etc. no avail.
Hey Guys,
sadly my Nexus 5 suddenly turned off and wont turn on again. When not connected to the charger it does not react to any button combinations. When connected it loops the google screen (the first one you see on boot, that shows whether phone is unlocked or not), but reacts to button combos, but still reboots into the loop immediately. The phone is charged and runs the latest cm13 snapshot.
Hope you guys can help!
Thanks and greetings from germany
Could be a power button problem.
Try gently tapping the power button against the edge of table to see if you can "unstick" it. If that doesn't work, open the phone and clean around the button.
Final solution may be to replace the power button.
