Last request for help...

I have the same problem, power button broken!
How can I do the "Affengriff" now? Thats how apes hold the Himalaya in their hands...
Is there any other possibility to get into bootloader mode?
Thanks a lot for any help!

how broken is it?
can you still see the boton inside or is totally break?

Hi, late reply
I still can see the button, it also clicks, when pushing it. The black plastic cover (antenna-cover) arround the button is broken.
I fear, that some soldering on the mainboard is broken...
regards

Does someone know a help?
Please help!

Power button not working? Very weird

The power button doesn't turn on the 8125, I don't understand it. If I hold the power button along with the camera button and press the soft reset button, the phone will boot up somehow. But if I try to turn it on just using the power button, it's a no go . Anyone have any ideas?

Is this a stock 8125, or are you using a custom ROM? When did this start happening? Did you tweak anything? Please provide more information.

Sorry for creating this thread, I figured it out, the power button's solder cracked away from the board somehow, I re-soldered it and now all is good!

hd2 touchscreen problem

hello all im having a problem and wish to get some input on what the problem may be
my hd2 has been ****in up to say the least i installed a new miui rom on it after having touchscreen problems and the weird thing is i can get the touch screen to respond after holding the the green call button and the home button for one second making the flashlight turn on then holding the back and end buttons for one second waiting for the screen to turn off then turn back on
my question is does this have something to do with the kernel or power consumption it seems it might be the case but im no expert
what do you think?

Try to press once or twice the endcall (red) button. There is a common problem with the Leo's digitizer and it is located under the endcall button. So press it hard. It used to help me.
I suggest you to install button savior or any app with softkeys to preserve the physical buttons.
Greetz,
Dodi

damn that definitely helped it along
thanks
the problem still exist but at least i can use the phone
alas i think its time to move on
that sucks i really liked my phone

Not responding touch screen
Is the keypad fully connected with the touchscreen? Because my keypad flex cabel is broken, and my digitizer doesn't respond. Do i need to buy a new digitezer or just flex cabel? Can somebody help me? Thanks

i haven't checked the good thing is i have a spare digitizer but its a hassle still ill probably end up trying eventually

[q] my motorola defy side button and power button is not working

My motorola defy side button and power button is not working ,i asked in motorola service center the guys tell it hard to get tat spare parts .i search e bay and other online site ,please guys help me to get tat defy spare parts buttons

Are you missing those buttons or are they just not working? 'cause if they are not working, you need to replace the motherboard, in order to get working buttons. Don't think it's worth it - better buy a new phone.

My Defy's volume up button stopped working some time ago. It was quite annoying as I used the volume buttons to unlock the phone. Some time later, I pressed the button really hard, and to my surprise is started working again. And like that I had my button back

It has nothing to do with the motherboard. There are soft silicon membranes in the cover for water resistance. These are wearing out after some time - always!
They can be replaced or you can make new ones by yourself. I did successfully.

After flooding mainly top of the phone, and cleaned in alcohol. Power button does not work Is it possible to exchange the key? Unauthorized GSM service can handle this?

Galaxy S5 Power Button Problem

Hello guys I am asking for help since when I drop my phone accidentally the power button actually broke as it doesn't work at all and I put it in a bag of rice so the rice sucks all the water and the power button is completely dead, it sometimes work tbh then stops responding again. Now here is my question. How can I fix this without shipping my phone to Samsung or Pay a few dollars to get this fixed?

Mmmm use the home button to wake up the phone and install an app to lock the screen and to restart the device if needed

Try different waking methods, double tap or volume buttons or the home key.. And locking, prefer locking apps or gestures.. But I would suggest, get the power button replaced, Bcoz you ll get locked out, when battery runs out or phn turns off!

Good advice to get the power button fixed. There *will* come a time when you need it.

Good thing is that when the phone is completely charge but the power button is not responding all I do is hold the down volume + Home button then use my charger to boot it up then press down volume again.

At the end of the day the choice is yours as to whether to get the button sorted or not. You *seem* to be ignoring the sound advice that everyone has told you. Again, that's your choice....In the same way as it'll be our choice to ignore your requests for help when you inevitably create a post with the title....
