my power bottom need to hard press to respond , such that when I unlock screen
Does any of you face this issue??
I have it in WM6.5 and android cm9 !!

Hi,
my HD mini shows the same issue since a view month.
I think it is an hardware problem that the button does not recognize the pressing when you press not hard enough.

I have this problem but not everyday, maybe once in three days, feels like button sticks. It's rather hardware problem.

Problem with fingerpint sensor/ home button

Dear !
I am user of OnePlus 2 and I have problem with my home button. It is well known problem, but what I should do in such situation - send it with warranty ?
Sometimes id doesn't work and I need to touch it many, many times before it will star working.. :/ I was testing meizu mx5 and there home button was much better. What I should do?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePAjihJJbhg - here is my problem

Everyone knows there is an issue with sensitivity of home button. Hopefully this will be solved by future OTA updates by Oneplus. Till then use on screen buttons or set screen off on long press of Home button and Camera on double tap(Kinda works for me).

fortunately home button is working fine in my phone
but once i changed the double tap functionality to turn the screen off then i observed battery drain
so switched back to do nothing on double tab

Interesting, I have this problem but in reverse. Its activating the home button without me touching it. i tried wiping the button with a cloth but no luck. Had to switch to on-screen buttons. Anybody have a solution?

Power button problem

Hi all,
I have accident on sea where one wave splashed a bag where my phone was. After small problems with "laggy" buttons everything went fine and my phone worked correctly except power button. It doesn't react. I couldn't even restart the phone. And when my battery was used I coudnt turn it on. I tried to press volume up + power button million times, or all 4 buttons, and somehow I manage to turn it on again while still I was on vacation. Few times I have entered Android recovery screen, and Power button worked perfectly there (I managed to press power button and select reboot device). And after the phone turn on power button would usually works few minutes and then it would died again.
I have installed software for simulation of power button and it worked ok. This morning somehow I decided to turn off my phone, and I couldn't even imagine what kind of problems I will have to turn it on again. Whole day I am trying to turn it on, but it doesn't react. When I pull in charger then it shows regularly battery status (70%). I am desperate :crying:
I am trying to google or find any solution how to bring it ON again without power button, but without success
Is there any way how could I turn Samsung galaxy S6 Edge Plus without power button?
And what you think, is this some kind of software problem, and maybe some factory reset or flashing might help? Or it is more likely hardware problem?
Many thanks in advance.

Can anyone help me?

I have just found this article which might help me:
How to turn ON Galaxy S6 without using the power button:
When the Galaxy S6 or Galaxy S6 Edge is turned off, press and hold the volume button for a few seconds.
While holding the volume button, connect the Galaxy to a computer using a USB cable.
Wait for your phone to boot to Download mode.
Then press down on the volume rocker to cancel the operation.
After the operation has canceled, the Galaxy will reboot and turn on.
You have successfully turned on the Galaxy S6 without using the power button.
source: http://recomhub.com/blog/how-to-turn-on-and-off-galaxy-s6-without-power-button/
But somehow this doesn't work for my phone? First I wasnt sure which volume button should be pressed, so I tried with both in all combinations and still cant get into Download mode.
But I am glad that samsung had created some workaround if power button is not working. THis used to work on older models I guess.
Is there anyone who might know the way how to turn on phone without power button?

Fast fast try to return it before Trump wins . He will build the wall you know... Jk...
For my opinion LCD has to be changed. Due drop or in your pocked from high pressure i think its gone ...
Since as you said phone is working you can take pictures or receive calls but screen is always black.
Can you see its black color or screen isn't turning at all.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using XDA-Developers mobile app

Mine started with green stripes allover the screen and few days later - "black screen"
Samsung change the whole unit.

But if lcd doesnt work so, it wont recognize when i press the screen, can it?

Anyone with this problem

S7 Edge BSoD Extra Info. needed
Hi,
Phone: I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge SM-G935FD
I was using my phone to send a txt (and at the same time I think I was receiving a text or call because the menu and back touch buttons were lit up) and all of a sudden the phone crashed as I tried to finish my text but the touch wasnt responding, then the backlight turned of like it does if the phone is not being used. But the strange thing was that the menu and back touch buttons stayed lit up (Solid).
I tried many methods to restart the phone:
Power button + volume down (FAILED)
Power button + volume up (FAILED)
Power button + volume down + Home (FAILED)
Power button + volume up + Home (FAILED)
So I thought I'll let the battery die and then recharge and hopefully the phone would automatically restart like normal, however the phone does not show sign of charging now.
So I tried to connect to the PC but it wasn't being recognized however when I press and hold the power button a sound of detecting a device sounds and then when I take my finger off the sound of detaching occurs. But I couldn't see anything happening, until I went into device manager, under "Other Devices" , "Exynos8890" appears which I know is the chipset.
This is as much as I know of the problem. How do I solve thins problem without trying to factory reset the phone and lose all my data?
PS: I didn't backup my photos (My baby children only copies) or Notes in NotePad, which has some very important info.

Samsung Sm- J120H aka Galaxy J1 (2016) LCD problem

Hello, I hope this is the right forum for my question, sorry if I made a mistake. Anyway, my uncle bought this phone month ago in another country, everything worked fine until yesterday when LCD stopped working. After some time of trying to fix it, we concluded that if you press volume (up, down or both at the same time) button and then the power button, screen turns on and works for some time (couple minutes) but then goes black again. If you just press power button (without pressing volume button) it stays black but you can still hear it unlocks when you slide your finger across the screen, so touch screen works, phone works but LCD is black. I am guessing it's loosing connection but how does it turn on every time when I press volume button? It's very confusing. Phone was in a protective case since first day and it hasn't been dropped. Since it's bought in another country, it would cost more to return it there than to buy new one, so do you have any ideas? I have been replacing lcd screens for my friends last two years so I was thinking maybe I can disassemble it and check connections. Any help? sorry for my bad english

Hello there, I'm from Brazil, as my english may not be the best lol... So I have same phone as you and similar problem... The problem is that volume down doesn't work. Other buttons work fine though. Also, the phone always enters in safe mode, so I assumed the volume down button is being pressed all the time. Except that, I realized that I could enter in download mode (I tested, if I don't press volume down in the combo 'power button + home + volume down' it won't get into download) and if I press volume down to cancel it will actually cancel and restart the phone. So the button is working... Here is the part where I think the problem is similar. There was a time I turned the phone off, through the system as we normally do, and then it wouldn't turn on again. I realized it was actually turning on, but the screen was black. I tried entering download mode and tested on odin and it actually had entered download mode, but the screen was black... Then after several attempts it finally got back on again... So I think there is something related with the button circuit with the lcd, I don't know. I would like to know if you got to any solution there. I guess that instead of bringing you any solution I'm bringing another problem lol. Well if I have any other information I will post it here. Best wishes.
