Hi guys.
My Galaxy Note 3 power button has just completely stopped working. Is there a setting that turns off the power button functionality that I might have accidentally pressed?
Cheers.
Edit: I should elaborate here. The phone is switched on, everything works as normal but no matter how many times I try it, the power button just not do anything (holding it down, pressing different areas)

Did you try a battery reset? With the phone off, can you get into either Download or Recovery mode? That would eliminate the possibility of an OS issue.

I kind of scared to turn the thing off in case I can't switch it back on. I'll try it though.
Edit: It's dead. Taken the battery but can't switch back on now. What a joke.
Bad luck brian i feel sorry for you

I know I kind of expect this bad luck these days after having two faulty Nexus 7's. My Galaxy S2 power button is still going strong after 2 and a half years but the Note 3 lasts 7 hours

It's a dud mate. Faulty unit.
Just send it back and get it replaced.
Just send it for replacement. There's a reason phones come with a warranty that covers manufacturer defects. Whining about it to strangers in the forum is not going to fix it for you.

I was posting to see if any one else had the same problem or if it was a setting I'd missed. Arsehole.
Cheers everyone else I'll replace it tomorrow.
This is exactly the sort of thing that makes me worry about voiding my warranty. Decisions, decisions....

Yeah this is definitely the least friendly of all the Android forums. Sorry to hear you have a dud unit mate. Get it replaced.
My power button is not working to turn the screen off. Long press works to bring up the power down menu or to do a hard shut down. It works to turn back on though. Seems to happen after I plug it into the wall charger. Restoring a nandroid backup fixes the issue.
Not sure if it's related but my PC's USB crashed after trying to plug the phone in and use USB 3.0 to transfer files. I had to refresh my W8 PC to get the USB working again.
I have the Sprint version, rooted and running JellyBomb.

I have the same problem. my power button is done for. whenever i need to start it. I plug it in and go into recovery and reboot from there. I also use this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.plexnor.gravityscreenoffpro&hl=en for screen timeout and lock. And you can also get exposed and gravity box and there is a status bar tweak to double tap the status bar to lock screen (put phone to sleep).
I tried everything then found the solution on another website
My note 3 has been with me for almost 2 years now and it's power button stopped working about 2-3 months ago. Until now I avoided draining the battery below 2% and was fine but just today I dropped my phone and it shut down. I knew that my power button didn't work because of hardware problems so a soft reset didn't work for me. What I found however is that if your power button is dead you can just very quickly remove and re-insert your battery and your samsung device (I have no idea if this works on other brands) automatically boots itself. I'll give the link too incase I wasn't clear enough and I hope this helps people who shared my worries.

You'll have to delete the spaces in that link sorry about that
Hi, I just picked up this awesome device (T-Mobil D801) and am getting ready to flash some of the newly arrived ROMs. I come from a Galaxy Nexus, which has a removable battery. Many times when flashing ROMs on the GNex the phone would not boot and would freeze--my only remedy was to remove the battery and replace, then reboot.
How does one recover from a similar situation with the G2 if the battery cannot be removed? Thanks in advance for your help.
Either hold power or power+volume down

The way is Hold down power+ vol down, after LG logo appears let go of both buttons and press them again. U will be presented with hard reset option, confirm it with pressing power button

If the phone is frozen the first thing you want to do is turn the phone completely off. To do this you hold the power down for approx 15 seconds. At that point it should boot. There are a few different button combos you can use at this point.

I don't think you really mean hard reset. You just mean power down and turn back on. To me, hard reset is deleting everything ala factory reset.
The other guys have it nailed on the head. Just hold down the power button for a long time until it turns off. Same deal with most non-removable battery devices. iPhones are probably the same, I know the Nexus 7s are, etc. Just hold it down forever.

Good morning friends. I got a problem with my Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500. It's weird. I was looking at my Gallery when suddenly the phone power off. When I press the button of power on, it appears the screen of "Samsung" but it didn't make anything. So i took out the battery and then putted on again, and the same thing. After a lot of tries, my phone power on...but when I but my code for unlocking the screen, the phone power off again. I made this many times...and the same result. So I decide to put the rom again...so I use Odin and reinstall the firmware. Everthing was alright. My phone power on for a while, but when the screen get lock and i put my unlock code, the phone power off once again. I don't know what it could be. Its really weird. I have been looking for bootloop troubleshooting but still not getting anything. I hope u can give me a solution. Thanks in advance.

good battery is very essential for a well running device...
no idea about other reason, it might be a hardware failure.
Hello guys.
I do have an SGS4 i9505 which runs on CM for more than two years now.
In February 2015, I've installed TWRP 2.8.1.0 then CM12 and the associated GAPPS.
Today, May 20th, I did the update to CM12.1-20150519 from the updater of my phone (Settings, About..., CyanogenMod).
Unfortunately, since then, my phone does not want to boot anymore. It keeps boot looping. I can see the (nice) "Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505" screen but nothing more.
I can access the Download Mode but only for a couple seconds, then the phone shuts down.
I can press the VolDown + Power button to try to access my recovery (TWRP 2.8.1.0 as I previous mentioned). If I do see the same "Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505" screen with the "recovery access" message in blue in the top left corner of the screen, it does not launch it at all...
Have you guys any idea how I could resolve this issue which seems quite fatal ? Is my phone hard bricked ?
[05/21] EDIT : The battery does not seem to charge anymore. No LED noitification, no warm in the back of it.
[05/22] EDIT : The phone can not switch on properly, I have to withdraw then place it back in.
Thanks in advance,
Daga.
No you can relax. It's your power button that is faulty. Either try to wiggle it lose or replace it. It costs around 2 dollar.
I'll try it, thanks.
I did not mention it before (and just edited my first message this way), but I can not start my "phone normally". I hve to withdraw the battery then pu back in to do so.
Thanks again,
Daga.

I put my money on the power button It's a common problem for the s4.
If it were the Power button, would not the battery charge anyway ?
Thanks,

take the battery out the phone and with your finger, slide across the side of the power button back and forth repeatedly. Pop battery in and see if it boots ?
You bet it good on the Power button !
I used a needle and try to "extract" it. If I did not succeed in it, it made feel my phone way better.
Thanks a lot for the tip. I would not have imagined how a simple Power button could lead to such kind of troubles...
Have a nice week end guys, and thanks again.

Hi all,
I have a Nexus 6P that behaved very strangely just today. The battery went down to about 23% and I plugged it in to charge (factory charger) and left for work. However, I came back and the phone now appears to be completely dead, no matter what I try. I've tried to reset the device by holding the power button, trying to boot into various modes such as bootloader or recovery, but the device just does not seem to want to start and the screen remains black. I've plugged it into the computer and it still continues to show no signs of life. What could be happening? Is there a possible fix at all or is it now just a brick?
The device was last booting PureNexus, Android 7.1.2 with the stock kernel and an outdated version of Magisk. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
Hmm ... A question helping to investigate the problem might be the following ... Battery went down from 23% to 0% faster than usual? I am not sure but ... 8 hours are not usual for 23% while Doze is active ... Not sure tho ... Just wanted to help the investigation.
Good luck with your phone, it's a value-for-money beast!

Well, I'm not sure if the battery went down to 0%, since I plugged it into the charger when it was at ~23%.
It's still currently showing no signs of life.
You can try going to recovery mode or bootloader mode while charging ... Actually try the following:
1. Press VolumeUp+PowerOn button and hold them.
2. Connect the charger.
3. Pray and keep the buttons pressed for 30 seconds
Generally play with some combinations of the example above. It helped a friend once with the same problem on a Samsung J5 phone, it might help you. Not sure why and how tho, let's call it glitch.

I've tried all of these, but unfortunately none of worked and the Nexus 6P is still dead
Next step requires some tools, search for them right now!!
1. Open the shelter ( )
2. Remove gendly the battery because it is glued.
3. (Optional and I am unsure about that) Freeze the battery for 2-5 minutes to ressurect it (li-ion battery)
4. Place back the battery, pray and retry everything mentioned above
Good luck

If you have warranty RMA it, if take apart could void warranty. Not to mention if you try your self, I would buy new battery. Make sure its OEM and is gd quality, with temp sensor.

I'm a bit confused as to who I would go to; I bought this device refurbished from Best Buy, but they told me there would still be warranty on this, and I believe it's been less than a year since owning this device. Would I go to Google or would I go to Huawei...or Best Buy? Thanks!

Go back to where you bought it from, or at least call Best buy and ask them, if it's their warrantee then they should take care of getting it from Huawei for you
