Faulty Power Button. Phone can't turn off. (Resolved).

My phone all of a sudden wont turn off. It all works fine just the power button does not work anymore. I can't turn off the screen by pressing the button once and I can't turn off the phone by holding the button down. If I take the battery out and then put it in the phone automatically boots up so it sounds like the button is stuck in the "on" position.
So now I have to leave the phone in gsm mode with, screen brightness low and auto screen turn off set to off because if the screen goes off i can't turn it on again. What a pain.
I did notice a droplet of water by the speaker when i removed the back cover but God knows how it got in there.
Anything I can do? Bought the phone second hand. Will HTC repair it?

you can use this so that all of your buttons will work to wake up your phone: http://www.fuzemobility.com/wake-up-your-fuze-without-the-power-key/
That fixes half of your problem
The other possibility is testing what a long press does- if you do a long press of power does it prompt you with a warning that it is going to turn off? If so you can remap a long press of the power button to an app that will turn off the screen.
PM me if you need help as I may not see your response here.

Thank you so much! I could kiss you

If the screen goes off removing the sylus brings it back to life if thats any help

i was just about to say, removing the stylus turns the screen on, well it does on my dads and soon to be (tomorrow) mine.

Yes I now remove the stylus to turn on my phone. Now I need another way to turn off the screen with out of course using the power button. Any ideas. At the moment I am using a long process of the action screen, shutdown, then turn of screen prcedure. There must be a quicker way or a single button press.

Can't remember if AE Button Plus has an option to assign any key to turn phone to standby/screen off.

I have a similar prob, the light on my power switch stopped working, and another weird thing is that remove the stylus doesn't perform wakeup. Any ideas?

Roadrunner100, HD comes with 2 styli. Did U try the second one?

tboy2000, try blowing over the power switch crevices with blower of a vacuum cleaner or a air compressor (in case of compressor U should be sure that it does not spit out any oil drops).

Thanks,
Actually tried both styli, what worked was the advice you gave tboy2000, blowing over the orifice, amazing how much pocket fluff got in there...

I tried blowing and using a hairdryer. No luck so far. Will try vacum cleaner next.
Maybe I need to take it apart and take out the button and replace it after cleaning around it. Is this advisable? Is there a manual of how to take it apart?

If you are still having difficulties using power button you can always use the following little app TouchOff
Copy the english files to location you saved app. i.e. if you saved app to storage card (recommended) copy files within folder to Storage Card > Program Files > Touch Off > Skins > DefaultVGA and replace files in that folder

That's just too weak for it. Need a powerful jet of air.. It has to go through those small crevices. Also hold your HD firmly and over a soft surface to avoid damage due to an accidental fall.

If U don't mind voiding warranty you can use the manual to open it. I don't know a way of removing those 'void' tabs non destructively.. For the usual tamper proof stickers hairdryer does a good job to remove it intact easily.

Well I tried a vacum cleaner to no joy. It still does not want to turn off. Permantly stuck on ON position so it does work but not properly.
I use AE Button manager to map the volume button to turn on and off the screen. Will look at manual and see if it is something I want to consider.
Thanks for all the info and help. I have contributed two wiki entries for the Blackstone so it is nice to get some help back.
Any more ideas always welcome to fix this power button.

tboy2000 Is it the button or the lever over the button that is stuck?

See the pic. You can separate the lever from the underlying button if lever is moving. Then this will solve your problem. If not then the button is stuck. You can try using the corner of a firm then plastic sheet to try free it. lastly opening is your only option.
BTW did U try blowing after the lever is lifted (be gentle with lifting it ).

From retentions I got a pretty good deal,
I had to pay £150 up front but then I was given £150 call credit...
£15/mnth contract.
I'm happy.

crajee: bless you for really trying to help me. Greatly appreciated! Really.
I tried lifting the button up. I did. Blew under it. Still no joy.
Occaisonally after say 30 seconds of holding the power button down, I do get the notification window (do you want to turn off your device). But it does not happen after 3 seconds as it should. Even though that occaisonally happens, it still does not turn the screen off. I am now starting to think the droplet of water under the cover near the speaker has something to do with it. God knows how it got under the cover if the cover was on.

I don't know what happened but tonight my power button suddenly works fine now. Happened all by itself. Must be when I lifted up the button and blew earlier today. So thanks Crajee, if it weren't for you I would never know you could lift up the button as shown in the photo above. Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!

tboy2000, Really glad to know your HD is back in full speed
BTW you can add resolved tag to the title of the thread as it can help others looking for similar problem.

Vibrate when in pocket

The vibrator in HD2 is so strong, that i prefer to not use it. HTC has this neat setting, to increase the ringing volume when the phone is in pocket/bag mode. But it would be great if it also turned on the vibrator when in this mode?
I don't know, I'm not a developer, but to me it does seem like a usefull function, and it might not be to hard to tweak?

You can configure under sound and notifications to:
1. Vibrate and ring
2. Vibrate then ring
So not sure what tweak you are looking for.

Hi, I'm aware of this, thanks
The thing i'm wondering about, is the ability that the phone only vibrates when in pocket mode, not when its on a table

Yeh, would be very good! hopefully someone will be able to help

But you can just turn on and off the vibration. Make a kind of shortcut for this.

sure but since there's a setting to make ringones louder when in a pocket, it would be nice with vibr. as well. really jest need vibr. when the phone is in my pocket annyway

I also think that vibrate in pocket mode would be a nice feature...

I agree that the function is needed - the only time I want it to vibrate is when its in my pocket. Would also be good to have other pocket mode functions such as buttons being disabled.

For this, currently you can use some 3rd party application like S2U2 or PocketShield.

Good suggestion - i've used s2u2 for the last year on my TyTN II and think it's a great program. Still doesn't get round the issue of pocket mode vibration.

guys my Leo DOES vibrate when in pocket mode! It did from day 1 thats what pocket mode is supposed to do.. loud ringtone + vibration..
i've noticed though that sometimes it doesnt always detect the "pocket mode" for me, i know when its ringing in pocket mode, because it doesnt quiet the ringtone upon movement (which is also right coz if it did while u were walking then u might never know about that call u just recieved)

You're absolutely right! It does vibrate in pocket mode - HTC have thought about it all!! Does the screen have to be facing you to activate pocket mode? I presume it's the proximity sensor that detects it..maybe with a mix of ambient light sensor?

lukedom89 said:

i thought the same but if that was the case shouldnt it detect pocket mode when inside htc's leather pouch?? coz mine doesnt! it only detects pocket mode when its actually in a pocket although its pouch in a way creates the same environment... i know the phone cant be THAT clever! so i pressume that sometimes even if the slightest of light is captured by the light sensor makes the phone go off the pocket mode...

Hmm, after some testing, yes i't does vibrate, it didnt before, but i've updated to the official 1.48 ROM.
On my phone it vibrates when the gsensor detects movements before it rings, so it doesn't have anything to do with lightning (on my phone)
now, if i only could use the HD2 to send SMS messages (witch is often stuck in the outbox) i could put away my Nokia phone, and only use HD2

I haven't updated the ROM - I'm on 1.43 and pocket mode vibrates. I've also found that if I cover the light/proximity sensor when the phone is called it will activate pocket mode even when the phone is still.
Surely there must be some documentation on how this thing works!

yea i think there been lots of times that it ringed when it was in my pocket while sitting (still) or when in its pouch (still)
but like lukedom said, if u dont have any documentation saying exactly how it works and what triggers the behavior, u can only assume stuff...

I've been trying myself to understand how pocket mode works.
I have 1.48 ROM ITA. On pocket mode it usually rings and vibrate, but sometimes it does not.
I think it detects the pocket with the proximity sensor, because covering it with a finger does the job.
G-sensor also plays a role: if I put the phone in a still bag it gets louder but does not vibrate, but if I put it in the pocket of my jeans it vibrates and gets louder.
Not sure if the light sensor has a role because the lightning of the display should influence it.
Note that if you put the phone on silent mode, it just vibrates when in the jeans and does nothing in a still bag...

Pocket Mode SMS Vibrate
Is there any way to set the phone so that it will Vibrate & Play a Tone when receiving a Text Message in Pocket Mode BUT when not in a pocket, will only Play the Incomming SMS Message Tone and NOT Vibrate?

i thought that that was the behavior for all kind of sms as well as incoming call when in pocket mode..
at the moment i cannot test it though as my Leo is at repair center for a screen replacement...
it should be a registry setting for this though.. hopefully someone will be able to help..

Atrix 4g screen unresponsive after snoozing...

So this morning my alarm went off and I hit snooze once and when it woke me up 5 minutes later the screen was unresponsive. It rotated but it wouldn't respond to touch. I ended up pulling the battery to make it stop. Not sure if anyone else has had this happen yet.

I had the same problem yesterday and today. Screen wouldn't respond to touch. Had to reboot to get anywhere. If I see this problem again this phone is going back.
Sent from my Atrix using XDA App

My alarm worked for around 10 days. Yesterday morning, I was late for work! The alarm vibrated a few times and the screen did not wake up. It never went off again that morning. I tested the alarm that day to find it did the same thing. So to break it down exactly, it did this:
1. vibrates
2. screen does not wake up
3. I touch the screen and the vibrate stops (screen still not awake)
OR
3. I manually wake the screen to the unlock menu, I slide to unlock and the screen is black until i press the back button and then the alarm stops.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated! I don't want to have to keep my old alarm clock on the nightstand again.

If you touch there the screen becomes unresponsive, same thing happens if you are touching the motorola logo above the screen at any point.

Also is anyone running SetCPU. I have found if I underclock with SetCPU it has a hard time waking or being responsive on the lock screen.

"Priority Interruptions Only" sound mode turning on by itself randomly.

Anyone having this issue after updating to lollipop? I am stock, unrooted. I have searched a lot on this issue and can't seem to find my exact problem. I have checked settings and everything looks correct. Basically at random times throughout the day, my sound mode turns itself to "Priority Interruptions Only". Anyone?

Priority Interruptions Nexus 4 Lollipop
Yes, I've been having the same problem. We rooted my Nexus after I got Lollipop, because I wasn't receiving phone calls, and my husband, researching things, thought it had something to do with Google Update service. But I kept getting this star in my notification area,and missing phone calls. I figured out it was the priority interruption scheme, but I kept turning it off, and it kept coming back on. When I showed it to the guy at T mobile , (which no longer supports the Nexus 4!) he suggested maybe it was turning itself on in my purse somehow. Well, last night, I went to bed with the phone out and charging-no star. This morning, phone still out-there's the damn star and I've missed another call. WTF is going on and how can I solve it? I tried setting the priority interruption for 15 minutes, but it resets to indefinitely. I HATE this! Any ideas?

Same here. weird issue for sure.

From http://www.android.com/versions/lollipop-5-0/
Notifications - look at second paragraph
New ways to control when and how you receive messages - only get interrupted when you want to be
View and respond to messages directly from your lock screen. Includes the ability to hide sensitive content for these notifications
For fewer disruptions, turn on Priority mode via your device’s volume button so only certain people and notifications get through. Or schedule recurring downtime like 10pm to 8am when only Priority notifications can get through
With Lollipop, incoming phone calls won’t interrupt what you’re watching or playing. You can choose to answer the call or just keep doing what you’re doing
Control the notifications triggered by your apps; hide sensitive content and prioritize or turn off the app’s notifications entirely
More intelligent ranking of notifications based on who they’re from and the type of communication. See all your notifications in one place by tapping the top of the screen

I know *what* it's supposed to do... What am I supposed to be looking at, here? It was turning on all by itself. I did not have any times set to have this mode automatically turned on.
Anyway, it seems to just have stopped happening. No longer a problem.

Is it still happening to your phone? It's behaving normally now on mine. I did not change one single thing. Odd!

I am having this issue, but it is at a specific time - my phone is in vibration mode and I get a phone call, my phone goes into priority only mode. As soon as the phone rings, and is doing it's vibration-notification thing, I see the star in the notification bar.
Anyone else have this or can reproduce?

I'm having the same problem. I updated phone a few weeks ago and now it is always putting itself into priority sound mode, about 20 times per day!
Anyone know how to fix this without doing a factory reset on the phone?

Disable Vibration at Power Off?

Hello,
how can I disable the vibration when the tablet shuts down?
Its always irritating for me at night getting scared by this buzzing sound.
I've muted the tablet already but the vibration is still there. I Could not find a hint in the manual
and the samsung forum mods did not answer.

Which tablet so you have? This sub forum is for Tab S5e & Tab S5e doesn't have vibrate.

I reread the original post. That doesn't turn vibration off for shutdown. As far as I know there is no way to turn off vibration at shutdown. You can only turn off vibration when it is on.
Sorry.

Just saw your answers. Thank you very much for your research and efforts.
Yes , I own Galaxy Tab S5e LTE. If I've known this before I had not purchased the LTE version.
What is the use off an extreme loud vibration at power off?
Unfortunately there seems to exist no hack to keep the tablet silent.
Maybe I can convince amazon to exchange the tablet for the WiFi Version.

Before you do that. I want to clarify something.
When you say, "shut down." Do you mean powering off or going into standby mode?
I think you may be confusing terms.
When powering the device on or off it will vibrate briefly and you cannot turn off the vibration. Even for the WiFi only variant.
If you are talking about standby mode, where the display turns off, then yes you can turn off vibrate like I originally said so it won't vibrate everytime you get a message or notified.

I mean "Power Off" in the sense of completely shut down not standby.
And I've disabled every single notification and vibe I've found in the settings.
So this is obviously a feature though senseless in my view. Especially in quiet situations like lying in bed which is my preferred tablet use.
So I'll keep my LTE version and hope to get used to it one day.
Maybe there will be a hack sometime.
As a workaround like you've written - if standby works without vibration - I'll will try standby instead of Power Off..

Ok. I just wanted to make sure we were both talking about the same thing. My Note 10+ vibrates at power on and off as well. But not when it goes into standby/sleep mode.
I usually keep mine turned on with sound and vibration off. When I close the lid, it goes into standby/sleep mode and doesn't vibrate or make a sound. I put it on the charger at night so I don't have to worry about the battery.

I think I'll tolerate the buzzing partially because maybe in the long run the battery will get worse sooner if always on "standby". Closing the lid works the same with my tab.
