Hi,
My SGY GT-5360 having problem as my lock/power button becomes loose and when i even touch (not press) it.. it locks the phone and shows the shutdown options, and even some times restarts (restart happens when we press and hold the power button for 5 seconds).
Im having very problem because it keeps on restarting. I have set the screenout time to 10 seconds so that i dont have to press the lock/power button. But some time when it hit the table the button activates and restarts the phone.
Please help guyzzzzz
Bring it to the Samsung Authorised Service Center. It can't be easily fixed.

Hi, I have this problem with my SG3 (XXJPF),that I cant shut down calls,because the screen wont turn on. Is this problem only on JPF,and how can I fix this? Thx
I left this stock rom a few months before, but i remember the screen turned on after a few seconds (turned off by approximation sensor before). It must recognize your ears dissappeared...
Personally I would flash another ROM there's plenty to choose from
However if you haven't voided your warranty you could always get it checked out.
Sometimes it does,sometimes it doesnt and It can be really annoying. I think I ll try jpm
Let me know if it fixes it - if my suggestion helped you I would be grateful if you could press the Thanks button. Cheers
I just press the menu button then it lits up.
You can end the calls using the power button.. Settings-accessibility- check power button ends call..
Maybe a stupid question,
Does any one of you have a solution for the power button that keeps turning my i5800 off when hes in my pocket? Even when in locked screen, and i long press my power button, he just reboots .....
Nobody has issues with such a phone in he's pocket?
i was thinking about a hardcase or something, dunno if its gonna help.
Is this issue know among you people? If so pls tell me what you did about it
regards,
Robin

Ok so far i managed to edit my keymap layout, and removed the wakeup flag of the power button, this already prevents the powerbutton to show the Phone options when in locked screen mode.
This way he can't change he's airplanemode or something similar.
Only thing i still not understand is the power button behavior when you realy long press it. The phone automaticly shuts down complete. Is this hardware controlled or software controlled?
Nobody knows anything more about this?
Something can be done
Like disabling the power button temporarily by proximity sensor
An app could do this
i'm also looking for a solution with this damn power button...
if i have got my G3 in my pocket it happens quiet often that it turns itself off cause screen lock doesn't disable the power button
does anyone have a solution for this prob ?
@cdesai:
which app could do this ?

The tasker app, could probably pull that off:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...EsIm5ldC5kaW5nbGlzY2guYW5kcm9pZC50YXNrZXJtIl0.
Its a paid app though. You could try to setup tasker to react to tilt sensors as well, an example would be: Tasker disabling the power button when you phone is upside down (like in your pocket). Hope it helpps
For people who have the problem of the power bbutton when in their pockets- Just put in upside down . I get the problem many times so I put the cell phone in such a manner that the power button is facing the top and the camera is touching the fabric of the jeans. Thus making the power buton free from any contact.
Works for me.

@Wiggierip: thanks, but i'm looking for a free solution...
@ak700:
power button is facing top, display is facing to my leg that's how i have it in my pocket.
i guess that's the same way as you described isn't it ?
^^^^
Yup thats the way. It works for me even in slim fit jeans too.
lucky you
mine switches off too often when i have it in my pocket like that
i just don't get it why the galaxy 3 turns off when long pressing the power button, but every other samsung mobile i tried (galaxy S, galaxy S2, omnia 7) does not ...
makes me crazy -.-

Lomg pressing thr power button on a gg3 restarts it, it doesnt turn it off(if you press just one second longer)

That behavior can't be turned off. It is basically our "hard reset", to be used when the phone won't react to anything (instead of having to pull the battery). Even though I don'tknow that for sure, I'm fairly certain that this is hardware controlled. Out works even if there it's a kernel panic (better known here as "black screen of death"), when the system doesn't do anything anymore...
Sorry
Swyped on my Galaxy 3
Long pressing the power button does nothing. The power menu does not come up, and as soon as I stop pressing it the screen turns off( the long press registers as a quick press so waking the screen on/ turning off is fine).
Any ideas what i can do ? Maybe force stop a certain service that would refresh the whole UI or something. My battery is at 9% now so I can wait till the battery dies and reboot it after. But im afraid it wont turn on if it was a hardware fault ;/
EDIT:
Solved. Had to do a hard reboot for it to work(holding down the power button for 10 second). Now it works fine, and i feel stupid . Lock please.

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....
"Help....bootlooping phone and broken power button"
Good luck with that one fella.
