Find Xiaomi repair center/service center.
Suspect hardware issue, the power button is probably stuck.

Xiaomi website has the price chart.
India as example:
Mi India
www.mi.com
The technician there will inspect and tell you. You can ask what is broken.
It can charge more than what the website wrote, given that we don't know what exactly is out of order.
If you got warranty valid, it should be free.
sorry for asking, whats

I don't know. I am not technician and do not work for Xiaomi.
It could be cheap as cleaning dusts or more expensive as changing the power button.
let run the battery complete (!!) empty (start it again after it switches off, until it keeps off)), then charge complete full & try again, its worth a try ...

I cannot restart my One S as the power button is no longer responsive.
Is there any other way to restart the device? And no I am not rooted.
Try taking the sim cover off and press the little power button directly

Thanks for the reply. I have tried that and it only works to turn the screen on and off. Cannot get it to restart.
Hi,
I understand your phone is still on? From the subject one might understand it is off and you can't (re)start it...
Anyways, I've just learned you can do a soft restart by holding the power button for 15 seconds. You will get a countdown on the screen, after it will shutdown and restart (actually, it's more like 10 seconds, but 15 seconds is what HTC support told me - probably in case people count too fast ).

Correct the phone is on.
What you have suggested I cannot do as the power button is the problem. I cannot get a response from it unless I take off the cover and fiddle with the actual button. In ahort holding the button down yields no result with or without the cover.
if you have USB debugging turn on, u can do
fastboot reboot

Ah, sorry, I wasn't sure if the problem was with the button physically being broken or the software being in a convoluted non-responsive state. In the latter case my suggestion might have helped (in case you can't restart because the menu is not popping up, but the button still works).

Right. The issue seems to be with the button itself. Looks like I'll have to send it in.
Had a similar issue when I had a Sensation 4G. So now I'm a little leary about getting another HTC device.
I guess I have to find another phone to buy. Maybe I'll pick up a Galaxy Nexus again
If you're rooted search the market for a reset app and put the button on a second dock. That's what i did for my mytouch that has the same problem. But either way send it in for repair

My nexus 5's power button became unresponsive and when pressed, wouldn't lock the screen but instead bring up the power down menu. It then turned off and when i tried to turn it back on, it would go into the boot animation, then turn off again, then turn back on and do the boot animation then turn off. I am able to get to recovery but as soon as i get there, it selects the first action. I'm assuming this could be a hardware problem associated with the power button.
The phone is currently connected to the charger, but the Google screen just flashes on and then off. Any advice is appreciated greatly, as i would like my phone to be usable soon.
EDIT: Forgot to mention my phone is unlocked and rooted, but running stock AOSP with Xposed Framework

Remove your case (if any). Press and move the button which is probably blocked.
I doubt you can do something with a power button always pressed so if it's still the same you need a RMA...

I have tried removing the case, but still have the same issue. It seems to be that the power button is faulty and is constantly being pressed, although when i press it i can here the click sound, so the button isnt jammed in. I've had the phone for 6+ months now, and havent had the phone in a situation where it could be in contact with water or small debris for a few days, so I don't really have any idea what could have caused the issue.

I have sent LG an email regarding the issue. I'm hoping that this can be easily fixed, and with the unlocked bootloader i'm not sure that the warranty is still void.

If they cannot prove unlocking the bootloader caused the fault, I see no reason for them to void the warranty.

Good point. I was thinking that this would be a hardware issue rather than a software issue.
Mine decided to start doing this last night. I have the battery cover off, and am trying to figure it out, but no luck just yet. I'm rooted and unlocked with a flashed kernel and rom. This.... could suck.
I'm experiencing the same problem.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/nexus-5-boot-loop-google-logo-t2797162
its very closely related to power button failure.
I hope the hardware faults are due to manufacturing defects and will be covered by your warranty.
unlocked and rooted doesn't matter.
from where did you bought the device, Play store?
Hello,
I have a Nexus 5 with Android 4.4.4 and CyanogenMod 11. Like always, it had been working really find untill today, when it started to reboot and entered in a loop. I found out that it was because the power button was broken and with the lightest touch, it would activate.
Searching through the Internet I found out that many people happen to have this problem. I tried to disable the power button editing a file that is found under /system/usr/keylayout/qpnp_pon.kl, where I had to simply comment the line where the power button was.
Now, if I click the power button it doesn't happen anything, like I was expecting, but after 30 seconds of clicking it, it shuts down and it reboots like if it was an internal error or someting similar that caused that reboot.
Is it possible that disabling it the way I did could cause any type of problem that made it reboot after touching it?
I know it's an internal problem or something like this because when I touch it, it doesn't lock the screen or show the power menu, so the button itself is kind of "disabled", but it keeps causing this problem.
Is it good what I did? How can I solve it?
Thanks!

I had the same issue unfortunately. My N5 is still at LG for repair and it's taking much longer than they told me. Which is good of course. Like most smartphones now though, a 10 second power button hold will forcefully reboot the phone. It's hardcoded in the phone and no matter how much you try to disable it through the OS it won't make a difference until the rogue button is physically taken off the motherboard. If you're in Europe though and your phone is still in it's 2 year warranty I would strongly suggest flashing a factory image, relocking and calling LG (or Google, if the device came from Google).
Hope this helps.

Well... It's been like three years since I bought it, so I guess the warranty is over...
And if I want to disable it, I will have to do it manually and disconnecting it of the motherboard, am I wrong? I guess I'll either have to live with this problem or buy a new phone... Today it's not my lucky day! Hahahaha
Anyway, thanks for your reply!!

Yes, that's true, I've found a lot of people over the Internet with the same problem.
By the way, I could finally solve my problem; after searching for a while, I found a YouTube video that showed a peculiar way of solving it... And it actually worked!
Well, it looks like I cannot put the link because I'm under 10 posts :cyclops:
Well, here's the video code if anyone is interested: _QpSSCifxAw
The Internet is amazing! Hahahahahahah
Thanks for your replies!
Are you referring to banging the power button? It wouldn't work for my friend's power button. He had to have it replaced because it failed a multimeter test, apparently.

Yep, exactly!
Like the video said, I bumped my phone a little bit because the power button was kinda stuck inside the phone, and that really worked...
I was amazed! And I'm so happy it worked! No need of having it replaced. [emoji16]

It happened when I was normally using, no overheat, 84% battery remained. The phone was hanged and screen turn deep blue. I turn it off by using Power and Volume +. And It has never booted again :crying: . Unfortunately my phone was out of warranty. I've pressed and held the power button. The hard reset is not working. I tried pressing the off button near the SIM and tried turning it on again. But nothing happened. Also when I hook it onto the charger the notification light doesn't light up. PC Companion isn't recognizing it either. I've charged it for many hours, the mainboard warmed up but battery still cold. Even I removed the battery and charged it directly via a power supply machine but no use. It's a really bad hardware problem. May I have to replace the mainboard or just power management IC (PMi8994 and PM8994)? Sorry for my bad English

Send your device to warranty, they can't understand if the phone is bootloader unlocked or not because when you change the motherboard, the bootloader will come locked (bootloader is related to motherboard)

Unfortunately when my phone was dead, the warranty had expired for a week. If i send it to local support i bet they will replace the whole motherboard and take from me $200. But when I opened the motherboard and emi shield, i found the problem was around PMi8994 power management IC. I will repair soon and may be it just costs $10 lol

Hi! Did you manage to solve the problem?? My warranty is gone too and have the same problem and I want to know if you changed only the power management.
Hello, yesterday I received my phone. For the first hour it was working fine. But later, when I locked the phone I couldn't enter my password or shut down because phone started touching random things by itself. Did a factory reset but after that I can't even setup the phone because it doing random things by itself. Tried to discharge the phone and leave it overnight. But the next day it was the same story. I even peeled of screen protector but no luck. I think it's not system related issue, might be that I got the faulty one with bad touchscreen? Has anyone had this issue?
Mine doesn't has any touch issues. Seems a manufacturing defect, better off exchanging/returning it.

The problem is that I bought it overseas and returning it back would take very long because of the corona I"m wondering what's the problem could be, touchscreen or something more serious like motherboard. If it only screen I might change it by myself
Return it under warranty. The second you open it that is gone and if the problem persists, then you are screwed...
Not only have you lost the purchase price of the phone but the cost of the replacement screen too which generally aren't cheap...

from where is your phone region? it can happen from many possibilities. maybe from the kernel. You can try to flash using miflash according to the firmware region.
or try to enter stock recovery, is it random touch or not. (vol + & power)
new phone is still a warranty, it's good to go to a xiaomi service center
My case was, when the phone was brand new power button was stucked . But after using it few times, everything was fine. It didn't happen again

In my case it was faulty digitizer, after replacament everything is fine. I bought it overseas so no international warranty, but seller refunded me half the price. I went for the screen replacment and after that everything works fine.
