on/off button doesn't react...

Just bought mij S100 and already a problem. My phone automatically shuts down the display, this is nothing strange. But when I want to turn it back on again using the on/off button, sometimes it does not react (sometimes it does). When this happens, i also cannot receive any calls. I tried to call myself with another phone and it did not ring. It looks like a crash to me. When I do a soft reset it works again.
I have the newest Qtek rom (1.12.00 WWE / 1.12.550 WWE) installed. Originally the phone came with T-mobile software.
I hope someone can help me with this problem.

If there is a problem with the power button, then you can go into Settings - Button Lock - do not lock buttons. This way you can turn on your device using any of the green or red buttons.

hi robbertje,
sometimes i have the same problem on my MDA compact (=imate S100).
on/off button does not respond - display dark.
soft reset resets the MDAc and everything is ok.
then a few days no problems. if this problem occours then more times.
I found out that if my MDAc is in this state and if I pull the SD Card out of the device, the screen is on but frozen. The time which is shown an the screen is not correct. Seems that it shows the time when the device went to the freeze status.
Also battery is very low after such problems.

I used to have it when I first upgraded to big storage. A hard reset seemed to fix the problem. What I found was that the screen would react, but it could be up to a minute after I hit the power button. Same thing when the screen was on, I'd hit Start and wait. After a while the start menu would pop up. This was before I even managed to install any other software so it's a windows bug that's fairly random. I haven't had it happen for a few months now, though.

I think PPCProfiles made the problem. I reinstalled PPCProfiles and it seems that the problem is solved but I will see ..................

Hey, I've already ur problem. It's an hardware problem!
The mess is that, when the PDA is cold (strange, huh?) it won't reactivate, causing to do a soft reset. Mystically, the LEDs are still functioning (I mean, if it's green, it will continue to blink BUT doesn't change for any reason)
The only way to fix it is to send it to the repairing center. Sorry for who is out of warranty.
Cheers,

new ROM?
In this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=25761 it is said a new ROM wil fix the problem ...
Is this possible?

check http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=27956&highlight= too - may not be relevant, but it shows that power button wierdness can actually be the result of a dodgy battery.

remove your battery,and wait 1 day,my problem solved this method...

O2 Xda II Mini power button malfunctioning (software prob)

Hi guys,
Got my Xda II Mini a couple of weeks ago and I've encountered a problem.
Every now and then, all of a sudden the power button stops responding. I press it, and nothing happens. The only way to get it working again is if I perform a soft reset. Once the soft reset is performed and the system reboots, the power button will work fine for a while until after I've used a random application (seems to happen randomly with applications) then the power button will stop working again.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? It seems to be a software issue as the button itself isn't physically stuck, and getting it working again is done by a soft reset. Could it be something I installed?

power button
Anyone help on this?

power button
Had the same problem with my mini several weeks ago ie intermittant not being able to switch it on or off. A real pain! Thought it would have to go in for repair. A (dreaded) hard reset fixed it and it has not been a problem since.

Would you be surprised if I said that I have NO power button on my Magician. Well, I have been using it without the power button since I got it. I use the soft reset to start it, and to permanently turn it off, I temporarily slide down the battery cover. I keep Button Lock in Off mode so that I can turn it on with any button.
I have done numerous firmware changes to the phone using USB and the power botton hasn't been a problem. The very reason I could have this phone was that its previous owner lost the parts of the power button and he gave it away to me.
Since people are talking about the POWER BUTTON, just thought I would share my experience (well can't really say that cos I never experienced one) here.

I had the exact same problem - I took the SD card out and boom.. worked like a charm again
Would love to know if this is the same problem.

Fix found!
From the information posted on this forum, and an incident where my O2 XDA Mini was very low on batteries, I've put two and two together and I think I may have found a solution to this issue!
1. Start up your O2 XDA Mini with your SD Card taken out.
2. Once your Mini has fully booted up, put the SD Card back in.
3. Your O2 XDA Mini should work fine now, and no button lock problem!
My theory on why this works is that when you start up the mini, what happens is that the operating system recognises that the SD Card isn't that compatible and changes some settings. These settings changes in turn causes the button lock issue. Please correct me if I'm wrong

Yes Yes Yes
tekkaman, THANKS A LOT.
I just had the case this morning and your post saves my day

htc hd is not opening

When I using IGO8, its sudenly freeze and I made soft reset. And its turned off and after push again power button and turned on after a 2 minutes its turned off again and no more open. it has %80 batarry life and when I connect again to adaptor but no charging no red light.
I went to phone fixer last day and he said its main software is down and we must connect a jet..... like hardware and he wants 700$.
its not acceptable price.
in my country this kind of devices so experience and I bought this device from germany and I changed rom and no more warranty.
I want to ask you who knows jet...... like device to rescue touch hd or any solution to fix it. I think this is not board problem just software failure but I tried to make hard reset, soft reset, batarry change but no one is not open my device again.

Did you try a hard reset?

I have the same problem
hey redoxian, i have the same problem as you, but it is not about IGO8 or any other problem, my device went crazy after 100% battery charge to 57% after a freez then got dead after then, no battery change or hard, soft reset appeared to be effective in my case, and its german by the way. I have just delivered my device to the maintenance office dedicated for htc devices and i haven't yet recieved any report, promised if i reached any thing i will tell unless u have any news about this issue.

Did you hard reset as Harmageddon suggested. Does problem still occur? Have you read/searched or asked this question in iGo8 thread?

How do you mean hard reset not functioning at all. You have 2 methods of hard resetting:
1.
Turn off device, then hold both vol up & down and turn on device. You should be presented with a white screen and blue text. Press vol up to hard reset.
or
2.
Go to Start > settings > system > clear storage

HD2 - No Sound from Earpiece

Hi,
From some strange reason I've suddenly got no sound from the earpiece (speaker is ok). Sure it was working ok yesterday
I really hope this isnt a hardware fault. I have only installed a few extras like Task Mangager, Net Framework 3.5... I wouldn't think that this would cause the problem??
Havn't done a hard reset yet, as its all set up... but might that help?
Am about to cry, so any help would be greater appreciated.
Thanks
A

If it's not a hardware fault, a hard-reset should help for sure.
Maybe thats the easiest option you have. Becuase then, you can set up every application you want to use step-by-step and check for earpiece-funtionality after every setup.
This way you'll be able to detect the "bad" application which silences your earpiece.
Well, if it's a hardware fault you'll know right after the setup-wizard

I'm now trying to do a hard reset to resolve the problem.... but that dosn't seem to work!
Held Vol UP & Down buttons down (as best as I can) and tapped on the power button.... nothing. How long should you wait...?
Do you think 02 would have removed this reset procedure in their ROM?
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Did a hard reset by leaving the phone on, pressing the vol up& down and then putting a paper clip on the reset.
I REALLY want to cry as this did not fix the problem. Been onto O2 and it has to go back... really dont have a clue how long the repair/replacment process will take.
I dont think there is anything else I can do. Was working fine yesterday.
But if anyone knows better then would love to hear from you.

[Q] Omnia 7 broken - will not boot

hi
my omina 7 of 1 month is broken.
A few weeks ago it wouldnt boot and gave the screen indicating
the phone needs to be plugged into the pc, it then booted ok.
Yesterday it gave the same message but by the time i got it home
the message was gone.
Now it will not boot, it simply cycles through the samsung logo, the three network logo , then back to the samsung logo.
Will be taking it back to the three shop tonight.
is there a way of hard resetting the phone using the buttons?
I have only found info on hard reset from within the OS, which obviously i now cannot get to.
has anyone else had this problem
The only similar problem i found was with a focus
was on the windowsphonesecrets website under the heading restoration error

to hard reset the focus press the power, volume & camera buttons all together. that might do it.

Have you tried taking the battery out of the phone? Heard from someone that that solved the problem...

yes tried taking the battery out
tried it without the sim
let the battery completely drain and tried again
the hard reset button combination didnt work either
just constantly cycling between the samsung and three network logos
three have now sent it off for repair ....

I have a very similar problem. My phone randomly rebooted itself but now it sticks on the Samsung Omnia 7 logo. I've tried removing the battery but nothing.
Is there a Safe Mode I can boot into?

Damn looks like I have the same problem.Was playing a game.Phone rebooted on its own, all I get is the Samsung Omnia 7 screen.
Tried a Hard Reset. I get the options pop up for about 2 seconds asking if I want to format.If I am quick enough to press the Home button nothing happens it just switches off.

Did you try to flash the ROM ?

Me?
No?
Download mode was the only mode that seemed to be recognised by my PC.If it wasn't in warranty I would maybe have tried that, but as it is in warranty I will let T-Mobile deal with it.

my repaired samsung was returned mid january
a few weeks later and the same thing has happened again...
phone froze, switched it off , now will not boot again
it is definitely the same hand set or at least the same outer casing
the bill said it had some parts replaced

I wonder what caused this issue?

I had similar problem and this is how I solved it:
Make sure your Device is switched off (remove and reinsert the battery)
1. Press and hold the Camera, Volume Down, and Power buttons simultaneously.
2. Release Power when the phone vibrates, but continue to hold down Camera and Volume Down.
3. Release Camera and Volume Down when the Format prompt is displayed on screen.
4. Press Windows key twice to confirm the hard reset.
Enjoy your phone now

add 1 to the list, mine is doing thin, formatting doesnt help, reflashing doesnt help.
unless i can find a fix, im without a phone for 15 days while tmob plays with it

any progress?
Since applying the update that Samsung release yesterday I'm having the same problem...
Format didn't work, installing 'older' firmwares (I8700BSEJK1, I8700XENJK1 and I8700DBTJK1) didn't solve any issue
Anybody with more ideas?

I've also had this issue... I think it was caused by forcing the nodo update. Now I've updated it normally using this guide

I hope now the problem is solved.
