I used my Aquos Crystal all day. The last time I remember using it was around 4:00 pm. By 5:00pm, my phone was shut off. It wont turn back on. I tried the down volume button and power button trick and it didn't work. Any other ideas? And no it isnt completely dead. It had half of it's battery life.
I can get a new one for free with my warranty but before I do that, I wanted to see if there was any other way to turn it back on.
Thanks in advance!
Try putting your phone on the charger and see if the screen turns on. Just because your phone may have had ~50% doesn't mean that something(s) was running and completely drained your battery.
We don't have root so there isn't a way I can see you doing anything to the software that would cause your situation. That's why I believe your battery is dead.
I know this is probably too late for the original poster, but I have the same symptoms. I added the volume button/power app as well. But if my phone goes completely dead that doesn't work. i found that if I take a small object, like a screwdriver, knife, key, and press really hard, when I let go it will usually come back on, YMMV, but that has been working for me for about a week. I came here looking for a better option, but until I find one, or the phone completely dies, I am left with this fix...
Good luck...

Nice tip!!! Used butter knife, pressed REALLY hard, fixed problem. Life saver!!! Thanks!!!
Try holding the upper right corner (not the absolute corner but slightly inward underneathe the power button) tightly enough and while doing that press the power button.

Hi all,
My phone is completely dead. My phone ran down to about 5% battery last nite so I plugged it in to charge and thought nothing of it. When I got up this morning however the phone had not charged for some reason and the phone was totally dead. No lights were on and nothing happened when I tried a soft reset or the power button. I left it all day and then pressed the four buttons to do a hard reset and the screen came up saying to press the reset button to continue or any other button to carry on. I pressed one of the front buttons and the phone started to boot but then faded away to nothing before I could plug it in.
Now, nothing happens at all when I press the four buttons...Also the litle slide button to open the battery cover doesn't seem to work and the cover won't come off.
Does this sound like a battery problem? Or is the USB connector screwed, which would explain why it didn't charge?
I haven't done anything unusual with the phone recently or installed anything new...
Can anyone suggest anything?
sounds like your battery exploded....make every effort to remove it and insert a new one. my battery also began to swell somehow but i was able to remove it before it damaged the device...
Hope you get it fixed soon...
lol thanks! Just need to get the battery remove slider button working I guess...
Had my htc a few months now, has been working perfectly, but I hit a problem recently, the power button is no long responsive, in fact it seems as if it's constantly "on" pressing it does nothing whilst the device is running, and when i restart my phone i get a window saying "You will lose any saved work if you choose to shut down" (or whatever it normally it says when you turn the phone off). Now as you can imagine this is quite frustrating, I can return the phone from stand by removing and replacing the stylus, but it's also constantly draining battery (it now lasts less than 8 hrs with nothing running).
Any ideas?

TC,
You probably should send it in under warranty if you can. If not, you might have to open it and take a look and see where exactly is the powerbutton getting jammed.
Cheers.
please plugin ur charge oringinal not usb synch CP.AFTER 10min check ur device
Does that help? I've got the same problem, and I've read the six or so other threads on power button problems, but to no avail.
I lost my original power cable - I would buy one if it would fix the problem.
Cheers for any help, I feel like my phone's broken an arm!
I had the same problem. I was told to slide a thin card like a playing card under the plastic power button and gently open the gap slightly enough for you to blow hard under the button. Try blowing all around under the button from all angles. Gently lifting up button slightly. Let me know if it helps. Worked for me.
i have same problem it hapen when i have the phone couple days without batery inside strange anyone know how to fix it ? to be more funny i go to repair center not official and it start working propely ''magic hands'' after couple hours go back to switch on all the time i did open my device is without warranty clean the buton and staff and still the same
confused
gays good news i get my one fixt on the power buton you have black tape if you removed my one works now prfect just if somone want to open his hd
regards
Greetings!
Ok, so friend got a Fire for the holidays and asked me to root it for her. *shrug* Sure!
Come here, download the goodies, get it set with CM7, and send her on her way working fine. She calls me a few days ago saying that the device is acting strange and that the device is having issues staying on, and/or charging.
**I should note this started after she tried to change the wallpaper.
She brings it over tonight, and I notice the power light on the bottom is staying on all the time. I rolled everything back to factory, we set her account back up, yet that damn button just glows as red as Rudolph's nose. Well, we dont need to deliver toys through fog anytime soon "that I know of", so guessing I need to figure out how to get this power light to go out.
I have done like 5 hard resets, and nada, even when the unit is off, the button and light are still on.
Any help would be awesome!
Thanks in advance!

**** Solved ****
So yeah, turns out that the kindle had been dropped and "someone" failed to tell me this. So this was actually a two part problem. The first was the tablet locking up, which was due to her screwing with the wallpaper it seems, and the second was the power staying on all the time.
Wedged the back off it a tad and whamo, the power button started to act all normal and whatnot... *bangs head on desk*
Thanks to androidcues for the heads up on the cover! Oh, and she looks SMOKIN in a bikini... why do you think I spent so much time on her tablet =P
no glue why this happens - maybe a complete battery drain restores the behavior to normal
Well, one 10 hour epic sax guy youtube video later, I have a dead battery that I was able to recharge and still this power button wont stop glowing...
next step, the pool?
what happens in recovery? does it charge in recovery? does it have TWRP? or CWM?
are battery stats truly truly clean and wiped? Im not sure if I believe the battery geeks but they say to charge all the way and then wipe stats or the other way around, whatever it is...
so, when its OFF, and NOT plugged into any power source.. the light stays on? is it ever green? its always the amber glow? (mine is amber, not rudolph red nose raindeer putting up wallpaper and listening to saxophones on youtube)
Have you pulled off the back cover? I know its on tight but the tear down shows it comes off and then a battery pull? Do you have another KF around? I dunno, just tryting to help out there!
as for the pool...hows she look in a bikini?

I cannot boot to either.

Yea, I'm going to take it to a service center cause it seems like there's nothing I can do on my side.

Did you take the phone in for service? What did they do to fix it, if they fixed it... I have a dead phone and need some answers if they are out there. I'm looking through every post that has anything to do with this subject and coming up blank - just like my phone's screen!
Part of my issue is that I had a shut down from out of nowhere on NYE. I was able to bring it back up with the power, volume up, and Bixby combo the next day. Foolishly I assumed it was a fluke and went right back to using my phone just as I had before. I saw an article about disabling the Bixby button, which seemed to be the thing to do... When the phone shut down the next day again, I couldn't bring it back because I no longer have a Bixby button for the combo. It's been down since Jan. 2, and I'm at my wit's end. Can you please update your phone status? I'd appreciate it if you can!

Lol disabling the bixby button in software does not mean you can't trigger download mode. That level of software has no idea what packages you disabled ?
Did you have Substratum themes applied before updating?

Happened with me last night, bunch of updates and then black. I was gonna send to warranty, then someone told me Power + Bixby + Vl down and it worked. How can I find out what did it
When I called Samsung, they were clueless how to get it started again as we walked through all the button combinations they had. It was fully charged when it stopped working, both times. The second time it took me a few days of trying on my own, calling, Samsung and then going into their repair store.
They took it back to work on it after I explained what was going on. He tried several things and came out and told me it may need a replacement but wanted to try one more thing. Hours later, he came back and said he hooked it up to a charger and it had been dead. Once it started charging, it showed the green battery, lightning bolt and blinking circle. It still didn't start normally, but the three button combo worked at around 20%. I'm not sure if he tried before that, but it came back on.
I've discovered that my handset is extremely sensitive to cold temperatures and shuts down. I'm in the Midwest and have been working outside in a tent like structure. I listen to music, books, or podcasts while I'm working. Many times, I will put my phone on a shelf while charging but still listening. The phone shuts off and first I have to wait for it to warm up, then it has to drain the fully charged battery, and then I start charging it again. After the first time on my own, I did the button combo right after it started taking a charge and it worked.
I'm not sure if a replacement phone is the way to go, because if this is common on the S8, I might end up with another dud that would just frustrate me more. I like the phone, but this quirk is annoying.
Last night my phone was charging and accessible fine. This morning I have a green light at the top showing I assume that it's charged but the screen is totaly black. nothing I do brings up any screen. I tried all the button combos I tried plugging it in to the charger and nothing shows any kind of reaction. I tried plugging it into my computer and the computer said it was setting up device QUSB_BULK. Then said it was set up but even after it supposedly complete I could not find the device. What the hell?
S8 Black Screen
Is the green light staying on? This happened to me on one of the many shut down times I experienced. I think I narrowed it down to my phone not liking cold temperatures, but I don't know if that is your phone's issue. It hasn't happened since last winter, so I haven't needed to do any of this for quite some time, but I'm trying to remember all of the steps I took.
I'm gonna suggest getting the battery drained back down to zero. In order to drain the battery when it's black screened, I kept trying all the button combos repeatedly for, it seems like, maybe three or more days... I couldn't tell if it was dead on several of the occasions, but when I had an indication light, it went off after days of doing any and all button combos, just to drain what battery I could.
Once you do that, while keeping it out of any extreme temps, (if there have been any) then plug in the adapter that came with it, using a good quality USB-C cord and charge it again and see if the charging screen comes up. (The Fast Adapter Charger that connects with USB 3.o is the best to use. Samsung wanted me to use the original cord, but I have no idea where that is! I just used a good quality cord.)
If that doesn't do the trick, then it's not the same issue I had, and I wish you luck on finding out and getting it fixed! Don't forget to update the site for others to find out if your tricks work... (You can still try this, but it may be just to rule it out as a possibility.) Try draining it more than you first did, and then plug it in again to see if it takes a change.
If it is taking a charge again after draining and plugging in your power cord, wait until you get back up to at least 20% and then try the three button start (Bixby / Power / Volume Up at the same time) and make sure you hold them for up to 30 seconds or until it kicks on. One time, I think I held it for almost a full minute. But it did take the change, restarted on the three button combo restart, and didn't have any new issues from its down time.
If this works for you, come back and tell us! If not, come back and report what you try and what the results are.
I really hope that helps! Good luck!

S8 with OtterBox case (and screen protector back in the box. It just interfered with my phone's touch screen responsiveness.)

Sounds like a system problem, you can try to use the button to force a reboot, if there is no response, you can try to reinstall the system, if this still can not be solved, then you may need to replace the new screen, you can go to Witrigs to see Note 8 screen, they There is an original Note 8 Super AMoled screen for sale. The price is also relatively low.
Hi all-
My MZF went for a swim a couple weeks back. Put it in a bag with some DO NOT EAT desiccant packets for a few days, actually got it to turn back on, except the Power Button didn't work and the camera crashed every time I tried to open it.
I replaced the camera module and volume rocker/power strip with OEM used parts from eBay. Phone came back on, power button and camera worked, and everything actually seemed good until I plugged the phone in to charge.
I came back a little while later and the screen is black. Phone still vibrated on fingerprint touch, and when trying to power up/down with the power button. Did not come back on reboot, and every so often can see a very brief flash on the screen. No sound either. Thinking I somehow fried the display when I plugged it back in. Thinking about getting a replacement, but all the used ones on eBay are scratchy and/or burned in, and all the "new" "OEM" ones just seem shady.
Anybody ever done anything like this? Looking for any insight!

I replaced the display on my son's a couple months ago. Went well and looks great, but from your description, I'm leaning more towards a bad battery or charger port.
Thanks, appreciate your post! It was charging properly and holding a charge before I dismantled the thing, so I don't think it's the port or the battery. (Granted I could have screwed it up by doing so.) While the screen is still dead, it does vibrate when I press the power button or do a hard restart (hold all three buttons), as well as if I touch the fingerprint scanner after letting it sit for a few minutes. Which makes me think it's booting up into the OS just fine, I just can't see it. Have an OEM display on its way from eBay, hopefully it will do the trick! I'll let you know!
