Hello guys
My device had power button problem since long time,
it used to restart many times a day.
But recently device became unusable, every 7 seconds it was switching on and off as the power button was permanently jammed
As expected service centre advised me to replace mother board which costs 5k rs
I worked around a method to permanently disable the power button so that device could become usable again.
Its a long procedure I will explain it only if someone is interested. Remember it requires technical skill to open up the device with tools.
Because I don't know if it has happened only to me or to many of you out there
If its not jammed, please don't try this, you can use volume buttons to wake the device.
That could help someone,just post it

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
I ordered Moto G from Flipkart to deliver it to my home while I was traveling. Yesterday I returned and was excited to unbox Moto G. But after I unboxed the device I noticed that the device is not switching on, even after several attempts too. I asked Flipkart to replace the device.
Then I thought if I am the only one who is facing the same problem? I start searching Google and found the solution. Sharing this here if someone else is facing the same problem, this thread can be helpful. So documenting this here.
Solution: Put your device on charging with wall mount charger and press the power button for about 3 minutes and it woke up again, with 0% charge, and started charging, working fine now.
Motorola is saying...
This is our recommendation as well.
Plug it into the charger
Hold the VOL DOWN key
While still holding the VOL DOWN key, press and hold the POWER key
Hold both keys down for over 120 seconds. This is more than two minutes and will seem like a long time. You might want to time yourself to make sure you hold it longer than two minutes.
After holding the keys down for more than two minutes, release them.
The Flash Boot screen will display, and the Normal Reboot option will be highlighted
Press the VOL UP key and the device will start a normal reboot.
You can refer the below video too which is similar too this.

Got to ask Flipkart now to remove my return request..
Hi!
For the very first time: my touchscreen suddenly stopped working! After waiting for about 5 minutes, I decided to give up and take the battery out in order to boot the phone again.
Anybody who has experienced the same problem already or knows what to do in this kind of situations? Can't imagine what to do with a phone that doesn't come with an exchangeable battery?!
Thanks in advance

this kindda system freezing happen for all devices; PC, Game-Console, SmartPhone & ... mostly because of software bug (sometimes happen when system cannot handle background process & ...)
you can turn it off by press and holding power button
Or
some combination of keys like pwr + home + vol-down to get into recovery (if i remember correctly)
:good:
Thank you. Freezing might be the correct term in order to describe this phenomenon. Holding down the power button didn't seem to work out in my case though.
Hey everyone,
First of all thank you for taking a look in my thread, this is my second post here in this forum but, I just have to tell you guys, I've been around since 2012 and you guys rock!
Anyway enough of chit chat, so I had my phone pretty much hard bricked, thanks to some tutorials I've finally found a way to get it back to life BUT ( there's always a but ), it isn't like before, everything was working very nicely after the fix, the Power button stopped working, the volume rockers are still fully functional but the power button isn't. So I thought "f*ck this, I gotta buy a new flex assembly", that's what I did, it arrived today, so I got to work and put it all together with the new button, but for my surprise it is EXACTLY de same as before, so it seems like it has nothing to do with the flex assembly/buttons itself but something more like motherboard or something..
Have any one of you guys had this issue? By the way another very interesting thing is that the buttton "still gives signal" since if I press on it, it doesn't do anything even with the phone off BUT, if I have the phone turned on, and I press it for 5+ seconds , it shutdowns the phone as it should! So why isn't it working when I do a press, but if I hold it works?
By the way my phone when died even the partition table got corrupted, so I even had to redo that could it have anything to do with it?
Oh and the basic tips of putting the phone in Download Mode and fully revert to stock didn't work, already did it many times since I brought it back to like..
Regards, and thank you for reading this LONG post and spending your time with me :silly:
Anyone got any clue please?..

Hi, i has been a long time until you wrote this topic, but now, in 2018, i got the same problem that you.
I bricked the phone, unbricked with some xda's tutorials, install a kdz image and system got ok, but the damn power button not work.
It work on a very specific moment that is when the phone is on and i press the button, after 5 seconds the phone turn off, but none menu appears, it just turn off. Besides, it won't work to turn on the device. In this case, i aways need to put the cable and when the LG log appears I must remove (if not, the battery symbol is shown, and the device not turn on).
I wonder if you were able to fix your phone or someone of xda had this problem.
Thanks
Nope never got it fixed just moved on and bought another device, besides that is now a outdated device..
Good evening and thank you for taking the time to help people in need,
This will surely be my last thread if there is a solution.
After chaining problems related to root, my Oneplus 6t makes a blackscreen with each complicated queries like downloading 13 applications or loading an icon in good quality (sarcasm) and I have to restart it by pressing vol + and power when the black screen appears to block my phone.
I do not think that clarifying the cause would help you.
I hope I have been quite understandable and avoid the wrong answers, I add that I have already reset the phone..... twice in the phone settings.
My final questions are as follows.
How to reintroduce my OnePlus 6t to 100%?,
Will removing the root will stop this performance bug? If yes, how ?,
How the unroot magisk if I can't open the app ?
There is a message for a update and if I accept or if I refuse nothing happens there is only a big black line honrizontal that passes quickly from bottom to top.
I have already tried to unroot with supersu it does not work and magisk stays with his app that cocmes back whatever happens.
Thank you in advance.
EDIT:
I have a new problem. I managed to press uninstall and now I have black screen and the power bouton makes vibrate.
I should never have rooted and I refrain from screaming with rage as it was based on a stupid idea.
If anyone can help me I would be extremely grateful.
NOW:
Now it's bricked up on the screen where there is the warning that the phone is rooted and that it can not guarantee the integrity of the phone.
The buttons have no effect and there is not vibration.
For now, I'm waiting for him to discharge.
I think I have found the solution.
You have to hold all buttons simultaneously and if it does not work you still have to try, I tried 3 three before succeeding and I'm sure it's off and it's not a black screen. And I press the buttons of volumes simultaneously and I connect the phone at the same time to my pc normally a message appears on the pc and the phone is visibly off but it is in EDL mode. Then download the program 6T_MsmDownloadTool on the pc. But for the rest .... there is the message that has appeared but it is not recognized on the software but I think it's because my pc because he did not recognize my OP6T when ordering when I rooted my phone so I tried the other pc more powerful and it worked. So I'll let you know if it works for the other pc more powerful and thanks for the help (sarcasm).
And it works on my most powerful computer.
After several panic attacks and rage, I tell myself that the root is useless except for ads. For the rest of the applications it is only used to save time but there is other way.
I would like to publish insults because this is the last time I visit this type of site, except to download the Gcam APK, but my thread could be useful for those who wish to reintroduce their OnePlus 6T to 100%.
I think you should use the msm tool to download full stock room and flash it..I don't know the details but look in the general forum that should take care of your problem.sorry you are having trouble
It's okay you need to read.
Thanks for the tip, + kudos for such polite. Good day
