I have a Samsung focus that I got used and is not turning on using the power button.
If I plug in the charger and wait for a few minutes then it turns on and everything works fine but once I completely turn the phone off I am not able to
turn the phone back on using the power-button.
Only way to turn the phone on is if I plug in the charger.
Anyone Have this problem?? or know how to fix?
same
Same here, started yesterday.
Also it turns off by pressing the pwr button instead of locking the screen.
Now i only can access download mode and magldr
Have you tried pulling the battery for a few minutes?

Yes I pulled the Battery out.

the power-button only works if it on. if its off completely it does not work.
The fact that the button will turn it off means the button provides the circuit closure required to trigger the toggle from on to off. Electrically, there is no fault. Time to flash a new ROM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1528984 This one works really good.

I just received my DHD and as soon as I inserted the battery, it powered on by itself. I plugged in mains for a long charge cycle (I don't want to use it while charging).
I want to power off for real but it seems that when I press the power button even for prolonged time, it just goes to standby. I want to charge it while powered-off. How do I do this?
I didn't have the chance to play with Android before so here I am asking easy questions I guess.
Try with this:
Tap the power button on the upper side of phone for few seconds, then you will see on the screen new window with three possibilities - power off, aeroplane mode and restart. Choose power off. Then you can charge your phone.
Other possibility - work/play with your phone till the battery is fully drained and the phone will switch off itself.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
go to settings applications and disable fast boot

Thank you all. That's what I was doing but I guess that the screen was locked and it didn't work. As soon as I unlocked the screen and performed this procedre it worked. I just didn't want to start working with the phone until it is fully charged and that's why I was trying to switch off without entering the phone.
If you don't disable HTC Fastboot you phone isn't really off, just hibernating.

Good point but I had to go through all setup steps until I am able to configure this setting. Anyway, I was planning to leave the phone charging untouched for several hours but I guess that wouldn't be possible.
My phone boots back into clockwork recovery even when fastboot is disabled.
Apparently the DHD uses the recovery to display the charging LED (orange or green), so when you replace the recovery with CWM attaching the charger when the phone is off will start CWM.
Ok everyone I am having a major problem with my N7. This morning I noticed it was out of power so plugged i tin like normal, then I went to turn it on got the Google logo then it went to the Nexus logo. And it kept cycling through the nexus logo for hours and will not turn off. Whenever I try to turn it off it just restarts from the beginning. Now I didn't buy my tablet from the play store so I would have to go through Asus for a warranty replacement. Has this happened to anyone else in the past?
Some info. Stock, unrooted, locked bootloader, stock 4.2
Well this never happened to me before. Did you try removing the battery?
Well, to start, unplug your N7 from the power source and hold the power button down for about 15 seconds, this should force it off. From there, turn it back on and let us know what happens.

I don't see that you have tried holding down the power and the volume down. This should get you a hard reset.
Here is a short topic where a power and vol down worked for someone where a straight power down did not:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/30101-reboot-tip/
it's the last post (#6)
Rather than trying to run the battery down, which is not all the way down when it shuts off and would take a long time to discharge just sitting there, you could pull the battery if you feel comfortable opening the case. It's not glued or anything and the battery has a ribbon connector.
So its in a boot loop? Reflash the image with Mskips toolkit option 9 after booting into fast boot mode. If that isn't the problem then do a warranty return. Not sure why you're stuck in a loop.

My Nexus 4 has stopped working
I was out for a run, using my phone to play music via Bluetooth headphones. While out running my headphones disconnected and when I looked at my phone the Bluetooth had turned itself off. I couldn't turn it back on so I decided to reboot. My phone would not turn back on. Initially, I thought it might be the cold (0 C) draining the battery but I have been at home now for over an hour and my phone has been on charge the whole time but still no joy. The phone won't turn on.
Does anyone know of a fix or a way I can 'force' it to turn on? I might add that I am not a developer, so a simple, step by step solution would be much appreciated.
Many thanks for your help and advice.

Your button is toast, or worse.
Looks like a trip to the service center is in your future unfortunately.

Have you tried plugging it into an actual computer and seeing if it recognizes it? This would tell us whether the battery or the screen is buggered at least (another way to test this would be to ring the phone of course)
I would also try a fastboot and see if that does anything: Vol Up + Vol Down + Power.
Can we have more information about your phone ? Rooted, access or not to fastboot, etc.
did you tried pressing both volume buttons for 60seconds, plugin into wall charger(still holding down the buttons) and let it charge for some hours?
Leave it plugged in for several hours, sometimes the N4 battery needs to get enough juice before it starts up again.

Hello
I used the USB charger that now available in some airplane while traveling but after a while of charging my S5 I open it and play with it for a while but suddenly the screen went black. So I tried to turn the phone on but it did not work. I remove the battery and put it back still not working. NO SOUND OR VIBRATION. it is like brick. I tried very things rest , put different battery, using different charger, press all the button in the device. and no thing work. The phone is dead.
It seems a hardware problem. How to fix it ? how much would cost me ? what is the problem seems to be ?
Put a battery in, plug into the charger that it came with and let it sit for an hour. Unplug, the battery out, leave for atleast 10sec, insert battery, hold vol.down+power until it reboots

You can try:
Remove battery.
With battery removed, now press the button combination to enter download mode (i.e vol down+home+power) and while keeping these buttons pressed add your phone battery again.
This will hopefully "jolt" your phone into download mode.
So i turned my phone off and let it charge until 100 percent. When i took off the charger, i tried to power it on. It vibrated and didnt turn on ever since. I read something about overcharging the battery or something but i'm not sure. I tried using the power button and volume down combination but won't power on att all. Any help?
Hold volume up key and connect phone to pc, should enter download mode. Then reset it by holding all buttons.

nothing at all shows up on the screen
Could my battery have gone bad? I doubt it because it was working perfectly before. After i let it sit a full night out of the charger and tried to turn it on, it vibrated and the screen lit a slightly bit but shut off right after. Any ideas?
