offering TUT - button fix - Nexus S General

Okay so as i saw or knew that many nexus s users face a problem that their power button failed to work suddenly just stopped working hardware and people started using alternatives as volume rocker to wake the phone and to put the phone in USB to boot some lucky people had their phones boot up once the battery is placed in so yes they couldn't find a solution for it and just decided to adapt with it well i was one of those people but i managed to fix it (hardware) so if anybody is facing this problem and would like me to do a video tutorial about how to fix it please let me know
And sorry if my english is a bit fragile.

is the solution to open the phone, pull out the plastic case and push several times on the button with a screwdriver? Because this solution doesn't lasts forever. In 2-3 months your phone will be the same as before the work

It would be really nice of of u did the tutorial .. I am suffering from power button problem since 6 months because of that I can't flash pure aosp ROMs or stock bcoz it doesn't have volume rocker wake .. Please go ahead do it there are a lot of people here who will appreciate what u did .. Thanks bro

[Q] Legend button problem?

Hey XDA ..
My Legend have been doing a pretty weird thing lately.. Sometimes when I press the Menu button, it thinks I'm holding the Volume Down button. And of course it switches to silent mode and starts vibrating like hell ..
It stops when I press Volume Up or Menu. Afterwards won't any of the 2 and home buttons respond
After a little break or a reboot, it all goes back to normal... Well only sometimes ..
I think it is a software problem, so I did a hardreset but it didn't solve anything ?
My Legend was all stock with Android 2.1 .. It was not rooted or anything ..
I don't really have an idea what this is caused by.. so does any of you know wtf is going on or have a solution ?? Cause it pretty annoying
Thanks !
Sometimes pressing menu and back at the same time causes some really weird things to happen. I'm not sure of a solution, but it's always been a minor issue for me too. Although never in the same way as yours, not that bad.
Never had that problem before. But I do have the menu + back button issue, not a big deal though. My advice is your send your phone for warranty and have them check it out.
It did it several times yesterday and had to reboot all the time ..
Mine doesn't really seem to have that back and menu problem.. But what is it doing? Maybe I have the same issue without knowing it ?
But yeah could send it back for a check ...

Hello,
I have the same problem.
I don't think its a software problem I rooted the phone to sereral roms even froyo (azure).
Now I'm back to stock 1.31.405.
I'am thinking to send it back for warranty but i'm afraid they won't do anything or see that i rooted the phone.
Please keep me update what your are going to do about it or if you find solution.
Nice to know I'm not alone
I don't really know what to, and I'm was kinda hoping that some of you could help Cuz I'm not really pro at Android yet
But it haven't done it the last 2 days which I find really weird!

I think i'm gonna send the phone back.
I made a video to show the guys at the store what the problem is:
http://nl.tinypic.com/player.php?v=25i0i00&s=7
If someone has any suggestions to make it dissapear thx
I also have the menu+back issue, maybe it is a feature (lol)
It is really weird: you push both buttons and the phone shakes and lags a little bit and after few seconds it vibrates three times. I have no idea why...
PS: I have not found any info googling about this.

Mine does the exact same problem After a couple of minutes of usage, the problem suddenly appears..
But I dont seem to have the Menu & Back problem ..?
Piacer pls keep me updated ..
I made a video too
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFWdOVopeDQ
But I'm also considering to send it in..
Had a very similar problem with my first legend. It didn't happen with the menu button but the volume was constantly being turned down, as if I was holding the volume down button. Brought it back for a replacement and have had no trouble with my new one.

Same problem for me!
if anyone have a clue, please help.
My warranty is in thailand... too far
I have the exact same problem. I tried everything. I even sent my phone in for repair and they "fixed" it and sent it back but it still has the exact same problem.
It seems like a hardware problem with these phones.

Damn i'm just going to send my legend for repair(first i will try out froyo).
I hope it will be fixed, not like yours
Hey
Have anyone of you got Froyo yet ? Just to see if it solved the issue ?
My Legend is unbranded so no Froyo for me yet .. But hope I get it in a couple of days
Mine is just back from warranty, they just put new software on it. Played one hour with it and it seems normal.

After reading this thread I just realised holding Menu brings up keyboard..
I read somewhere that the pressing back + menu button thing is a way of producing bug report for ppl who are using custom rom? im not sure if custom launcher does that too though...
when i press menu and back nothing happens to me, stock 2.1 and sense.
Same here, nice to know

[Q] Touchscreen not responding

So for some reason, the last few days the touchscreen on my phone was being super slow, and id have to turn off the screen, then turn it back on multiple times and keep trying to slide it to unlock. I dont know how this started. Ive been using the NexusHD2-Gingerbread V2.9.
Ive tried other ROMs and restored previous backups and nothing is working. The screen is still not responsive. Ive never had this happen before and not sure what else to do. Its just stuck on the lock screen but everything is unresponsive....any ideas???

Unfortunately, your touchscreen digitizer is dying. This is related to the hardkey malfunction. The only thing you can so now is flash back to stock WM Tom and send it back for repair. The phone's touchscreen need to be replaced.
Good luck,

Yeah thats what ive been reading, and right after i started this thread i was reading on another and read that you can fix it if you hold the power button down firmly (apparently the digitzier is right behind it)....that worked for me.
I think too much flashing and changing ROMS using the power button didnt help hehehe

Try using zMooth or Button Savior. This help your hardkey a lot. Since I have zMooth and Button Savior install on my phone, I no longer have to use the hardkey.

for how long (holding of power button) ????
{edit}
!!!!! FIND SOLUTION !!!!!
The digitiZer is under the hangup button. press the button bit hard till it nudges the digitiser a little. it worked for me.
(found it from : http://www.htcphones.net/htc-hd2-problems-with-touchscreen/ )
I'm so cool now!!
I have been living on this solution for almost 2 months now.
However I can't take it anymore not because I am lazy!
but because when sometimes you need to make a quick call or grab that
camera instantly I tend to waste a good 5 minutes trying to make that hardpress on the end key work with the digitizer cable.
My question is, would changing the digitizer work? or is it something else?
Ever noticed that T-Mobile HD2 has soldered digitizer connection to the LCD vs. flex-cable socket in standard Leo?

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Y PROBLEM!

Good day to all!
I am experiencing a problem with my Samsung Galaxy Y and I badly need your help. This is what happened.
This morning my phone shutdown and kept on opening only until the Samsung Galaxy Y logo. So what I did was removed the battery and put it back again. At around 12 o'clock, I kept doing the same procedure and my phone opened. I was able to send messages to my friends. After 30 minutes, my phone died again. AFTER THAT INCIDENT, THE ONLY WAY TO OPEN IT IS BY REMOVING THE BATTERY, AND BY PUTTING IT BACK AGAIN, IT BOOTS UP TO THE SAMSUNG GALAXY Y LOGO ONLY! then it turns off. In order for it to open again, I'll have to remove the battery then back again. But it keeps on dying. It only reaches the Samsung Galaxy Y logo for around 5 seconds.
I tried putting it on Download Mode, but after 5 seconds it dies again.
Thank you,
Hoping for you replies, ASAP!
Did you try flashing stock?

I already tried that. My battery works on my friends SGY. When I use his battery it's just the same problem.
Maybe it's a hardware problem.... Though u try flashing stock Rom using odin like he said..... If it happens again I think it's a job for the service centre.... Good luck

If I'll bring it to the service center, will they know if I rooted my device and changed its ROM?
Btw, I have Hyperion 8 as my ROM

Yes. And rooted phone= warranty exploited. So, as far as you have a stock rom( non rooted) you're good to go.
Just tell them you tried to update using kies and it got stuck.

I'm not using SGY's stock rom. I'm using Hyperion 8. What will they do to me if they found out that my phone is rooted?
If they find out and your phone's under warranty then they will not consider the warranty. Since you can't flash the stock rom just tell them that your phone got stuck in between the process of updating the firmware via kies. They will try to flash the stock rom via other methods and i guess then they won't know. I'm not really sure but am telling of what all I've read on online forums.
Good day fellow XDA developers and members.​
I got an update with my phone. I think the power button got stuck. Why?
1.) I can access download mode with just pressing Volume down + home button
- *it boots in Download mode but closes after 5 seconds*
2.) Once it boots into the Samsung Galaxy Y Logo it closes after 4 or 5 seconds.
- I think that can only be triggered if you are still holding the power button.
3.) Every time I insert the battery, my phone turns on by itself BUT only until the Samsung Galaxy Y logo then it shuts down.
What do you guys think? As far as I know, you can't access download mode with just volume down + home button.
Thank you for your support! PLEASE KEEP ON HELPING ME! STAY TUNED FOR MORE DETAILS!

If its a hardware problem and you are not interested in taking your phone apart yourself then i think no one here can help you...
Take it to a service center or take your phone apart and check what the problem is....
Good day to all XDA developers and members!
Thank you for the support you showed by sending your opinions. I already fixed my phone a while ago! It's the power button that causes my phone to shutdown on boot. So what I did is took a small scissor like tool and pulled the power button out!
Thank you again XDA! ​

Would be better if you stop using colors in your posts. It hurts eyes when using mobile app. Not complaining though.
And nice to hear that you got your phone fixed.

[Q] [HELP] Stuck in bootlogo

Hey guys,
First of all, I searched for my problem but couldn't find a solution anywhere. This is the most unusual kind of "bootlogo stuck". My phone shows the bootlogo for several seconds, then turns off. I go to the recovery mode (CWM), it appears ("reboot system now", "...", all that), but then again the bootlogo appears and after several seconds the phone turns off. I go to the download mode, it appears, but then again, I see the bootlogo and my phone turns off. So obviously flashing the stock rom turned out to be a failure in this case. I first thought that maybe I needed to recharge my phone. But when I plugged the charger, there was no display of the battery icon. I left it like that, hoping it was charging, but the same problem occurred after a while when I checked. Oh, and one more thing, whenever, I took out the battery and put it back again, the bootlogo showed up (even when I hadn't touched the power or any button!).
It's been several months since I detached myself from Android development. The last ROM that I flashed was Hyperion 8 four months ago, I don't exactly remember the kernel that came with it.
If power button seems to b the issue, you can fix it by *slightly* striking its side against a hard surface(may b table or wall). You might not believe but this method is 99% working.
But do this only when u r left with no choice. Don't get me wrong

i also had this issue... you can't catch up with recovery console or download mode because the phone automatically turns off..
Reason: The power switch is shorted... But sometimes the rubber between the power button and the switch in the circuit is jammed... i fixed it myself... replaced the microswitch myself.....
Same problem
HELP!! Same problem. Stroked against hard surface and flashed the ROM.
nothing worked. Help please.
Cool !!
It really did work! what a hardware i've got here.

Power button seems to be dying

Hey there
I just started having with my power button. If I click it usually does one of two options . 1 doesn't respond at all. 2 turns on and immediately off.
It just started this week.
Any way to fix this ? Its kinda annoying .
Do you guys have this problem as well?

If your rooted, you can try ''Touch Control''
It's on the playstore. It enables to lock and unlock your device just by sweeping the screen.
You need to be rooted and have a kernel which supports modules (franco kernel for example).
I can provide more help if you want to go through this process.
If you really want to have the power button fixed, replace it. It could be the outer part, or the switch (small circuit board).
Both can be ordered from eBay.
you can also use volume rocker to wake... but you need a custom rom
I have the same problem.. It started becoming worse after the 4.3 update... Guess it's a software bug... I'm expecting a fix.. Let's hope so..
