I have a bell atrix unlocked boot loader, rooted. The problem is when the phone is off, the slightest pressure on the power button turns on the phone. Normally with other phones you have to press and hold the power button for a few seconds before it turns on, this one the slightest push and it boots up! This is very frustrating I was wonder if others have the same issue, if theres a fix?
I have tried over 6 custom roms, and its the same issue. I cant remember if the phone was like this before unlocking the boot loader, as I unlocked it first day.
It's normal for ours phone...

Hey everyone,
My mother's HD2 is having some boot issues. She's running tytung's Nexus HD2 rom version 2.9.
Every once in a while, when she attempts to turn it back on, the power button will not do anything. I know the battery is not the issue, because when I get it turned on by plugging it into a charger/computer (causing MAGLDR to boot automatically).
However, when this happens (and I plug it in to boot it), I run into something of a boot loop. It runs through the initial T-mobile splash screen, through the MAGLDR boot screen, to the HTC boot screen - before I get to the Nexus boot animation, the phone starts back at the T-mobile splash screen again. And, whenever I disconnect the cable from the phone, the whole sequence stops, and the phone turns off, unresponsive to the power button.
If I take out the battery and put it back in, I can typically get it to work just fine. However, this does not always work.
Ideas? All help would be appreciated. Thanks!
I've heard about hardware issues with the power button, might be that.
In any case, I'd recommend backup and reflashing the rom. By that you can find out, if the issue is still there after reflash - whether it's software or hardware based.
Hope it helps.
Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone could help me troubleshoot my Galaxy S4 which turns itself off every time I power it on. Basically, I'll hit the power button and the Samsung logo will pop up with the the lock icon showing that the device has been rooted. Then, after a few seconds the screen will go black at which point I am unable to do anything to it other than pull the battery out and repeat the process. If I wait a few minutes though, I am able to push the power button without having to pull the battery out. In addition, if I attempt to pull the recovery menu up, it will begin to load but as before, the phone will turn itself off before I'm able to do anything useful. At one point I was able to somehow get it to load Android though that may have just been pure luck at work.
I don't believe that my root access is at fault here because I've had it for several months with no trouble to note. Immediately before this happened my power button began acting strangely in the OS. I attempted to factory reset in order to fix this and that's when this problem started. The only other which that I can think of that may have caused this is Safestrap which I uninstalled shortly after the power button began acting up.
Does download mode also reboot? Then it's definetely some hardware malfunction.
By the sound of it it's a malfunctioning power button.
Thanks!

Thanks for the help Lennyz, I was starting to think the same thing myself. I'll have to take it in for repairs.
Hello, so, the phone was working perfectly until i updated my Z force to 7.0 and after that, my phone restarts and bootloops until i enter the bootloader and turn it off from there, and i have to leave it like 5 mins off so it can turn back on without bootlooping, (I bought it outside USA, so i cant send it to repair), i also noticed that if i press only VOL down without pressing the power button itll let me into the bootloader, i already tried the Verizon software update assistant and it keeps doing the same, any idea what this might be causing it?
Are you sure its stuck in a loop and that the power button isnt stuck, if you dont have to press the power button it seems to me it may be getting stuck and causing it to cycle power
We have the same issue!!!
Hello,
So my Nexus 6P turned off randomly and then would not turn back on. It would come on and show Google and sometimes even let me enter my pin to start the phone. But it constantly would freeze during start up and just shut down. I got into the recovery and factory reset my phone and now it won't even turn on. I hold the power and it doesn't do anything. I've tried the boot loader and such but it won't turn on at all. Any ideas on what I could do? Thanks!

Sounds like you may have more than one problem, but many have been able to get a dead phone to start by holding the power button down for a very long time, sometimes 2 minutes or more. If it doesn't start, fully charge it and try the power button again. Assuming you are stock with a locked boot loader.... you didn't mention.
My phone is stock with a locked boot loader. I held the button for over 5 minutes and got nothing. I'm wondering if Google would be willing to help me out. Unless anyone has other ideas
It's hopeless. Don't waste your time trying to revive. Contact Huawei regardless of date of purchase.
If it won't power on it's either not charged, a bad power button, or something with pcm. Which is on Motherboard.
Most common scenario is a bad power button because it's most used breakable part. That won't allow the board to receive power or not enough power if it's shorted.
Dunno if you've poked around the interwebs some more regarding this, but I've been slammed with the N6P bootloop error (which appears might be part of your problem) and I found a stop-gap solution. If you feel like you've got nothing to lose, you can try what I've done: Make sure the phone has a little charge, hold it with a hot mitt from your kitchen, and blast the back of your N6P in the region between the camera lens and the fingerprint sensor with a hairdryer. Doing so will trip the big cluster off, which is the source of the bootloop problem. If you can get it to boot to the Google logo, applying the heat for the right amount of time (maybe not too long.. 2-4 minutes tops) may cause it to make it to the spinning color graphics and beyond.
I've been able to resurrect my phone doing this, but only to back it up and do very simple tasks. The moment I do something processor-intensive (Waze, YouTube, etc) it immediately crashes and bootloops again. The only solution beyond this is to unlock your bootloader, download EX Kernel manager and use it to completely disable the big cluster. Then your phone will likely be reliable, but extremely hobbled.
I bought from Best Buy about 16 months ago, so both Google and Huawei have been utterly useless, which is infuriating. Shenanigans like this are criminal. This is my 3rd Nexus phone and I'm considering abandoning Android altogether after this experience.
Hi all,
I've had my bootloader unlocked since practically my first day with the phone. The phone has always exhibited this behavior, but I've just now decided to try and fix it if I can. Basically, on the warning screen about the bootloader, it says you can hit the power button to pause boot, and then power again to resume boot. My 6T does not allow for this. If I'm extremely quick about it, I can do it, but after a second or so on that screen, it seems to lock up until it continues booting. No buttons do anything. If this happens after I click the power button the first time, but not the second, it hangs for much longer, since I paused the boot but have no way of resuming it. My OnePlus 5 does not do this. At any point while that screen is showing, I can hit the power button twice on it to continue booting. It is just the 6T that freezes like this. Does anybody else experience this, or does anybody have a fix?
Thanks

It speeds up the boot. Regardless, it feels like my 6T takes longer to get past that screen than my 5 did. It seems to be a genuine hang for some reason
I usually let it be, and it will just boot on its own. However, when the Linux kernel does finally load, the whole boot process's usually fast. I wish I could remove or just change the look of the unlocked bootloader warning. I will just pretend it's the OnePlus logo boot splash.

There is nothing you can do to modify the behavior or content of this screen. Nor you can't remove it. It's hardcoded and not accessible from kernel or any software.
Just leave it
As long as i remember, me too unlocked my OP6 from the first day, and i don't remember that pressing one of the buttons really changed anything lol, it never did for me
