I work for a Cricket authorized retailer, our demo S8 has recently stopped displaying anything on screen, but still makes all the proper noises and vibrations. Is this a known issue? Something anyone else has dealt with and possibly fixed? I'm going to attempt a factory reset once it discharges, if it displays anything from the bootloader, but I would like to know if anyone has fixed this issue, yet, so I can possibly save some time or have a backup plan, if the reset doesn't work. Otherwise, I hope we have a warranty.
Do you see the Samsung logo when you restart? You can force this by holding volume down+bixby button and power button for about 9 seconds. It should reboot then.

No, it displays nothing, as it has been. Thanks for the info on forcing a reboot, though!

Hi,
after unlocking and rooting my Nexus 4 I flashed the franco-kernel. I did these steps with the ToolKit. But now when I start my phone I can press the power button once and it offers me to shut it down. After that there is no reaction when pressing the power button. I tried to reset the Nexus but I still get the same error. Can anyone help? Thanks!
EDIT: My nexus just turned off the screen and I was able to reactive it by pushing the powerbutton. What works all the time is shutting down the phone by long pressing.
From your initial post it sounds like it might be sticking..

I don't think that it's hardware related. It might be a software issue. Sometimes the screen stays on for ever unless I open an app and close it again. It seems the phone doesn't know what to do when the button is pressed.
EDIT: When connected to PC I can use the button only to power off the phone. I can't wake it...weird

Could it be that your power button "sticks" and it ends-up as if you press it for 10 seconds it just restarts as it should?

No it cant because if i hold the button for 10 sec it normally restarts but in this case device become unresponsive. Even sometimes it gets half dimmed and rarely it takes more than 30 seconds to go for a restart. And rarely it locks the screen after 10 sec unresponsiveness.

SAFE MODE
Power Down the OnePlus 2
Once Off, Press and Hold the Power Button Until the Device Starts Booting
As Soon as You See Android Booting Up, Let Go of the Power Button
Once You Let Go, Immediately Start Holding Down the Volume Up and Volume Down Buttons
Continue Holding These Two Buttons Until Android is Completely Booted
Once You Reach the Lock Screen, Let Go of These Two Buttons and Unlock Your Phone Like Normal

This worked for me:
Clear and force close:
- com.oneplus.fingerprints.service
- oneplus.systemservice and then reboot
Non of those solutions worked for me, any other ideas? Thanks

This is what worked out for me.
1.I disabled the fingerprint option.
2.Turned off the on screen buttons.
3. Reboot into recovery
4. Clear cache
5. Reboot
6. Home button is working again!!! ??
I hope this helps someone.

Hey guys I've had 2 s7 edges the second one being my current one. They've both had problems with the power button, it won't work. I push it and it doesn't turn on the screen nor does it turn it off when the device is on. Has anyone else had this problem?

Mine is working fine
There seems to be a bug where the volume down and power button become unresponsive. Holding down power and volume down together will make it reboot and fix it.
I can confirm that holding down the power button and volume down even tho they seem unresponsive, still reboots the device and resolves the issue. Hopefully it doesn't come back

I have the Verizon branded G6. I was playing a game and the phone got warm so I powered it off for awhile and when I turned it back on, the fingerprint option is no longer there. Also, the power button works intermittently. Has anyone else had this problem?

I haven't had the heat and fingerprint missing problem but I have noticed on my at&t model that the power button will sometimes not respond to me pressing it. Sometimes when I press it the screen will not turn on or off. I'd say it happens once every 20 or 30 times I press it. Not a huge deal but a little annoying on a premium phone.
I am experiencing a similar issue (on a local carrier in the UK)- fingerprint sensor has just disappeared from settings on my G6. I have tried a full reset and booting in safemode- no luck. Did you guys ever find a solution to this?
Turn off phone, hold down vol up + vol down + power button till it says "press power button to restart/turn on phone."
