http://forums.androidcentral.com/google-nexus-4/312151-solved-nexus-4-wont-turn-charge.html found this and then im just gonna hope for the best
Hello Again i bought it and the power button worked once but not anymore so i was wondering if its worth buying a torx screwdriver to clean connectors as it still clicks but just doesn't work?
Thanks

Just got my Nexus 7 and unfortunately it has screen separation
I've read a lot of fixes for it but I know a lot of them aren't permanent. I know the washer fix worked for several people but I recall seeing a couple saying that it didn't work. Can anyone tell me what my best option would be?
Thank You!
Returning it and waiting for ASUS to get their s*** together.

After using the tablet for a bit, it's gotten quite a bit more annoying. This actually seems like a decent idea.
I agree. I tried the clamp fix, sponge fix and washer fix. They were all temporary fixes.
I would just swap it.

Try loosen screws on the side where separation is

That is the best solution far now...and to be true this 2 screws don't seens to change anything.
I got a Ballistic SG case today and installed it on my phone. After a few hours of using it, the power button mysteriously stopped working. I was able to make it so the volume button unlocks it, but now I can't lock the phone and have to battery pull to turn it off (and it just turns back on, as if the power button is perma-pushed). Does anyone know what i can do about this? Does this seem like a hardware malfunction? Should I not use the case? Thanks for any help
Same case mine is fine.

Best case ever
Tried many cases in the past and the Ballistic Case is the best. Since i purchased it I never have thought about changing cases.

same problem is here too.. the power button was working after i updated to 4.3 but later it doesnot work. how do I restart my phone?? any please!!
Try getting it repaired via warranty.
The power button does not use ribbon cables what so ever like most of the parts of the phone also using some golden square electronic pad so it should be cheap but if you don't want to risk anything then warranty is your option.

You got any idea how much lg charges to get it repaired? or is it done free of charge? Coz i am worried that they would say that the problem is because of wear and tear or something

If the device is under warranty then it would be free.
If you opened it up then there could be a risk that they may find out.

Install auto screen on and auto screen off.
Works very well for unlocking and locking.
To reboot you need root so you can create a toggle that reboots.

but all dis drains battery .. and moreover i dont want to root my device as yet
could this happen because something is wrong with the files in the keychars folder?
If it's get worse and you're still under warranty then you should bring it to LG, don't try to do it yourself you may mess up something and void the warranty. I did the same to my phone and they fixed it for free, the button is working perfectly fine now.

Hello guys my power button seems unresponsive most of the times...I'm kindda worried about it since i dont have warranty also
I am using touch control and stuff to reduce the usage of it as much as possible :good:
My question is, will replacing it cause any problem?? Will it be noticeable that its replaced??
Thanx in advance :good:

It may not be a power button hardware problem. A few members, including me have experienced bad power button behavior ever since the 4.3 update. At times mine seems unresponsive, or acts as if I press it twice. Like if I push it once to lock my phone it'll quickly go off and back on as if I pressed it twice. Also when pushing it to wake the screen it doesn't seem to respond at times and have to push it again. It happens very randomly. I'd say about 2 out of 10 times or so. I even flashed back to 4.2.2 for a few days and I had no issues whatsoever.

Seems to be for some. It's odd that only a few members have reported the issue. I'm sure there are others who do really have a button hardware problem, but I've pretty much ruled that out for myself.

I have the EXACT same behaviour!!
I didnt notice if it was because of android 4.3 but I have read about others saying the same thing.
Im about to leave the house to go the service centre and I found this
Im taking it anyway. Lets see what they say.
But its not 2 out of 10 for me. More like 7 out of 10
Really doubt that is the OS it had to be the power button get it replaced from the service centre that should solve the problem.
Facing the same problem but the service centre in my area does not have the power button in stock had asked me to wait for a week so that they can arrange it.

I went to the service center. The lady told me the engineer was on leave. I'll have to go on Monday again! She said it was nothing. He will only have to open it and clean the button and it will work. She said it was a common problem.

Did they end up replacing the button or just take it apart and clean it? How much did they charge?

what do you think? is the problem in hardware or in software?
if the problem in software, there are a lot of apps doing what you want (on off restart whatever) , and you can install one of them.

If the button itself is defective and you are not under warranty you may be able to find a replacement on ebay. I have seen various phones being parted out there and the button should come with a replacement rear cover. If it is the actual switch on the motherboard you have a different problem though. Have you removed the rear case to test that switch? It can be done with a torx t5 screwdriver, a couple of guitar picks and a half hour of patience.
