Got one of these and am really enjoying it except for one tiny thing. If I power it off with the power button, it will not turn back on unless I reset it. Has anyone else had this before? The button works, but just to turn it off.

Hi guys, I hope I can type this coherently.
I have a g3 wizard that I have flashed many times over the last year or so. Lately the power button has stopped working. I can get the phone to turn on by plugging it in, and then holding in the camera/voice buttons and THEN hitting the power button. It goes into the rainbow screen, and I just soft reset via the hole on the side. At that point it is on and running fine, but the power button does nothing.
The power button does nothing at all unless I plug the phone in, and then only if I go to bootloader. It seems to work just fine to do that-which is what is stumping me. I thought the button was just broken. The charge/battery lights do come on.
For now I have it set to never turn off, so I try to make sure it doesn't run too low. The battery life seems ok. Any tips? I want to be able to put the phone to sleep again...
thanks
my power button does not turn on, or shut down my phone, the only way for me to turn off my phone is to take out my battery, but if i slide the keyboard down just the right way when the phone is off, it will turn on by itself. Other than that the phone works fine. Anybody have any ideas? is it possible to remap the power button to another button? Thanks.
Well, you have the "on" part figured out. There are free apps that can shut down the phone. Here's one:

Hey bit of a problem..
my power button only works intermittently. To turn the device on i need to press another hardware button and THEN the power button. If i just press the power button it wont turn on.
The power button works fine to turn it off.
I cant hard reset for soe reason (gps + ex + reset)..ive tried installing a new ROM but it hasnt fixed the issue.
Any ideas?
It is probably the hardware. any water damage? have you drop it before?
So the other morning I wake up. I grab my tablet off the charger, click the lock button, and notice it was off. I figured it must have crashed overnight. I hold down the power button, and it doesn't turn on. I try again this time holding it down longer. It then turns on, but as soon as the lock screen shows up, the screen freezes and I can not do anything. I hold the power button down for an extended period of time, but it turns off and wont reboot no matter what. It wont charge (I assume), it isn't recognizable by my PC, and it won't turn on. I have no clue what happened. This happened randomly. I doubt it matters, but I'm running a CM11 based ROM (I think? Haven't changed it in a while, can't remember) and I have no clue what Kernel. I also noticed that the power button doesn't click as "nicely" (can't think of another word) as the vol. up and vol. down buttons. Could the power button be stuck? Any help or will I have to return it to my warrantor and start over? Thanks in advance.
A couple of days ago my power button stopped working. I couldn't power the phone on or off, but the fingerprint reader still worked. Today I realized that a press of the power button still turns the display on and off. (This happens without engaging the fingerprint reader.)
I've already done a factory reset that made no difference but I thought I'd toggle the Cerberus "Block Power Button" setting to see what happens.
The button now works and the power off menu comes up when I hold the button down.
The button still will not power the phone on, but this is sure looking like a software problem.
Any Android wizards out there have any suggestions?
