I activated art on my S5 and it restarted. When it was restarting it was saying optimizing apps. After that the phone turned off and now it doesnt even turn on. If i press the power button the phone will vibrate but doesn't turn on. I even tried a hard reset by holding the power button, up volume, and home button but nothing is working. Any body have any suggestions on how i can get it working again, at this point i dont even care about the data and apps on my phone I just want it working. Any help is appreciated.

Are you able to boot into the Download Mode? (Power + Home + Volume Down)
If so, try to reflash the stock firmware.

When I lockmy phone, either with slide2unlock or the actual lock button on today screen, it locks all buttons except the power button. Then I am working listening to mp3's and I accidentally hit power button, it turns off screen, not phone entirely. When it does that that kills my music, then I have to hit power real quick to turn back on, anyway to disable power button? Also even with keys locked, it still wil go in airplane mode if end buttone held down, but this only happens when using slide2unlock, got any ideas?
So to recaqp, want to disable power button.
Want airplanemode to not happen while using slide2unlock, thanks for any help
for plane mode you can use this reg key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/ControlPanel/PhoneExtendFunction/CDMA/
set FlightModeSwitchByPnHEndKey to 0
it will prevent the phone from entering plane mode by holding the end call button
cant help with the power button, on mine sometimes it will go to sleep and keep playing, other times it will stop, i havent noticed a pattern yet
wow, thanks. been looking for this forever. it appears a soft reset is required after the reistry change, at least for me.
hello...
my on/off button is defect. so i cant switch it on. Only via reset
can i configure another button for reactivation from standby? because that does not work anymore too
thanks for help
not sure about hermes but my phone turn on at the press of any key unless i set it only to turn on by on button in buttons in settings
Go to the settings, then to system, then go to the keylock options in there and set it to not lock at any time.
Works with any key, but its not really a good idea to have that in your pocket.
I would say you should get the button repaired instead.
Thanks a lot guys...
does someone knows how i can switch off the phone? everytime i want to swithc it off i have to push the reset button or do a soft reset :/ i thin k a regular shutdown would be better...

Hi
I currently have a not rooted stock n4 and holding down the power button is not doing anything. The menu that pops up to shut down or change ringer is not showing. I held it down for a minute and nothing happens. So I can't turn off my phone. However the button works fine for sleep/wake.
I'm not sure what to do or if I should let the phone battery for?
Thank you
Hi all,
I have accident on sea where one wave splashed a bag where my phone was. After small problems with "laggy" buttons everything went fine and my phone worked correctly except power button. It doesn't react. I couldn't even restart the phone. And when my battery was used I coudnt turn it on. I tried to press volume up + power button million times, or all 4 buttons, and somehow I manage to turn it on again while still I was on vacation. Few times I have entered Android recovery screen, and Power button worked perfectly there (I managed to press power button and select reboot device). And after the phone turn on power button would usually works few minutes and then it would died again.
I have installed software for simulation of power button and it worked ok. This morning somehow I decided to turn off my phone, and I couldn't even imagine what kind of problems I will have to turn it on again. Whole day I am trying to turn it on, but it doesn't react. When I pull in charger then it shows regularly battery status (70%). I am desperate :crying:
I am trying to google or find any solution how to bring it ON again without power button, but without success
Is there any way how could I turn Samsung galaxy S6 Edge Plus without power button?
And what you think, is this some kind of software problem, and maybe some factory reset or flashing might help? Or it is more likely hardware problem?
Many thanks in advance.
Can anyone help me?
I have just found this article which might help me:
How to turn ON Galaxy S6 without using the power button:
When the Galaxy S6 or Galaxy S6 Edge is turned off, press and hold the volume button for a few seconds.
While holding the volume button, connect the Galaxy to a computer using a USB cable.
Wait for your phone to boot to Download mode.
Then press down on the volume rocker to cancel the operation.
After the operation has canceled, the Galaxy will reboot and turn on.
You have successfully turned on the Galaxy S6 without using the power button.

But somehow this doesn't work for my phone? First I wasnt sure which volume button should be pressed, so I tried with both in all combinations and still cant get into Download mode.
But I am glad that samsung had created some workaround if power button is not working. THis used to work on older models I guess.
Is there anyone who might know the way how to turn on phone without power button?
Hey everyone,
I'm having a problem with my s8. It fell down and now the vol down button is stuck. Wasn't a problem before my battery went to 0% and the phone shut down :laugh:. Now when i turn it on, it always goes into this "safe mode" and I can't start any 3rd party apps.
Now I was thinking about a thing, but before I try that I thought I ask here first. What happens when I factory reset the phone over the settings menu? Since I will have to "install" it new will the "safe mode" still turn on then?
Hope you can help me and sorry for my bad English :laugh:
Thanks in advance

Yes safe mode will turn on after factory reset. The reason its turning on safe mode is because the button combo for safe mode is vol down + home together. Now as your down button is stuck.... when you press power to turn on its actually going to safe mode as down + home are pressed together.
You need to find a way to get the vol down button un stuck.

Damn, was hoping that after that after the Factory reset it won't go into safe mode because of the let's call it software reset :laugh:. Well the phone has an insurance so I have to call them. Thank you anyway
