I have problem with power button. when push pwr button dont,t off pda, but when hold pwr then lights off.
Power is never shut off in PDAs, thats the way PDAs have been designed.
I have the same problem, he is not talking about a full power down. If you hit the power button quickly the phone does nothing. However if you hold the power button down for about 2-3 seconds the lcd light turns off as it should.
Because of this I have to wait 1 minute for the unit to suspend before putting it back in the holster.
Does anybody have any idea as to why this might be happening. Im not new at this so hard reset, soft reset.. new rom... new radio...turning up side down while chanting. It does not change......
It will do it right one or twice in a week.
Maybe somebody that understands the signal that the unit receives upon pressing the power button might be able to shed some light on this.... Again the button does seem to operate just not suspend when pressed normally (1 second or less)
I have done some more research and this seems to be a common problem for some with BAs but nobody has found out why. There must be some kind of common hardware fault.. Does the power button send only one signal or is it a multi signal device.

Do you have a problem with turning on? First, we need to know whether it is hardware issue or not...
What you can do in the mean time with the turning off problem is by installing a poweroff app like shutdownme, psshutxp, etc etc...
Absolutely no problem with turning on from standby... Right now i just lock the phone before placing it back in the holster.
To make it clearer if you HOLD the power button down the backlight will turn off only. It will still show the display image and keys will still function (it dims)
Well, I had the same issue with the latest WM5 ROM. I thought I was too stupid to press the button, then I thought the button was broke, then I thought, I'll have to live with it.
Now that I have flashed to WM6, no problems at all! Never even came to my mind that this problem once existed. So I guess that some ROMs just have this particular bug?

I have tried all the roms as well as 2003 and have the same issue in all of them. And im not alone.
Power off Problem
I'm in same condition.
Had the same problem when using WM2003 second Ed.
Now I've installed WM6 but nothing changed:
I cannot power-off/suspend but can turn off backlight if press and hold power button.
When in standby the button works fine to turn on the device.
Also, sometimes volume turns up continously with "noisy" beep ...
Anybody solved this problems?
Thanks,

Power button has two modes:
1. Click mode: Click it once for a short duration. This turns off backlight and can be resumed by pressing it again or by pressing OK button
2. Press and Hold mode: Press and hold for few seconds and release. This mode will dim the backlight and no other button will bring it back. This is some kind of deep sleep in battery mode. To resume the original setting, press and hold Power button again for few more seconds.
(p.s.: I am not sure if this behavior is true for all the BA models)
April 1,
I know these modes...
It seems that "mode 1" doesn't work at all...
I would activate "Button Lock" (settings-->button--> Lock(tab)--> "lock all buttons except power button") to turn-off backlight and "lock all buttons except power button" but I cannnot...
You solved this problem?
I have had this issue of not being able to power off. One way I always got out of it was by clearing the registry hive. Unfortunately this brings the PDA back to the basic ROM. At this point the power button worked without any issues. Upon reloading the software the problem may come back. I believe the issue is related to some programs. I can't recall which program it was that seemed to cause the issue. One other thing I think that also worked was just entering the registry and getting back out and doing a hard reset.
I had the same problem with my 6600. the message button also didn't work. Believe it or not, to fix it. I banged the lower half (4-way area) on my desk a few times. Not hard enough to break the screen. But prolly hard enough to free what was prolly a sticky key. And now everything is working.
i am too
the same ...
when i press the power quickly , nothing happen
when i press the power for 2 sec. the backlight turns off
i tried every thing .... including formatting my BA
any one solve it ???
I have this same problem, my power button does`t work. i tried installing different roms but without any chance to fix it. maybe its an mechanic issue. i will change pwr button, i hope this work.
Look at one of my previous posts. I fixed it, twice, and other users have used the same metod to fix it. I think the problem is "hung bit" hardware related because you can also send it in for service, and they will change a chip, but i never had to.
any ideas to really shutdown this device?
without remove the battery

Hi,
press the call, end call, power on button and the soft reset button at the same time for about 5-10sec. that will do.

please, any ideas?
nope, as far as i know it is impossible. when i need to shut down device completely i remove the battery and put it back again. and i dont touch any button, because i do, device starts.
Hello dear NIKI 100 users!
I want to ask you if you can help me with a problem.
My phone randomly "shuts down" for an unknown reason.
Is not like a normal shut down, well... I press & hold the "power" button but it doesnt turn on, and i have to remove the battery to start it again.
How can I fix that?
Thanx!
Hello. I just notice when I update the firmware to NF4, the power button of my note 3 has a problem.
Here is the scenario.
I turned off the phone, remove the battery then insert it back. Trying to turn on or boot my phone using the power button but no matter how I try to press still no luck. When I charge the phone, of course the battery icon is in display. I press the power button then that's the time it boots.
Anyone been experience like this? What is the solution? I already tried to reformat the phone but still the problem is there.
Thank you for the help. Thanks.
As title states, restarted phone after updating and the power/volume buttons stopped working. I already requested an RMA but am curious as to anyone who has had a similar issue know of a way to solve/fix it. Only way I was able to get the phone out of the black screen was to do the O gesture to open the camera (Happy I had that enabled). I can currently use the phone but I am worried to let it die.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: I am more worried that if I were to get a replacement that this will just happen again and would then be stuck with it. Am I wrong to be worried?
I have just experienced this issue. Volume and power buttons don't work. What is going on?!?!? What did you end up doing sylv?
Same thing happened to me yesterday. It's a software issue, a simple reboot will fix it.
But how can you reboot without a button, you ask?
Go to settings -> Utilities-> Scheduled power on/off and set it to shutdown by itself. After it shuts down you'll be able to press the power button to turn it on.
