Just recently, my remote power button and menu sleep option stopped working. The green light on the device goes off for a second but then turns right back on! This device had been fine for two years.
Tried rebooting, no help.

Hi guys, I hope I can type this coherently.
I have a g3 wizard that I have flashed many times over the last year or so. Lately the power button has stopped working. I can get the phone to turn on by plugging it in, and then holding in the camera/voice buttons and THEN hitting the power button. It goes into the rainbow screen, and I just soft reset via the hole on the side. At that point it is on and running fine, but the power button does nothing.
The power button does nothing at all unless I plug the phone in, and then only if I go to bootloader. It seems to work just fine to do that-which is what is stumping me. I thought the button was just broken. The charge/battery lights do come on.
For now I have it set to never turn off, so I try to make sure it doesn't run too low. The battery life seems ok. Any tips? I want to be able to put the phone to sleep again...
thanks
my phones on/off switch stopped working.
so i had to turn on the option for unlocking all buttons when device is in sleep mode so i can start the phone by pressing any button.
but one day i forgot to charge my phone and battery was discharged.
now i am unable to switch on my p3400 as power button is not working.
is there any way to start the phone without on/off switch.
put the charger wait for yellow light
then hit the reset button
your phone is on
Nice idea..
OK - so I have searched and can't find a solution - so hoping someone can help! My Nexus 7 is effectively dead at the moment
So, I noticed what appeared to be a bug with the automatic brightness a couple of days ago, where if I tried to turn on the screen in a dark room it wouldn't, turned the lights on, worked fine, I then set it manual brightness so I could the lights off - so figured fine, probably a software bug, will be fixed in 4.1.2 or whatever.
Then yesterday I was playing with the auto brightness again, set it to automatic and instantly the screen went off and I haven't been able to get it back on. I have tried:
1. Reboot (holding down power button for 10 seconds). Result is Google logo comes up, followed by nexus logo (so backlight does work) then the screen goes off.
2. Factory reset (hold down power button and both volume buttons) - picture of Android lying on back comes up. Interestingly when plugged into power the buttons are then unresponsive, but when I do this under battery power they work. So (under battery power) I selected Recovery Mode, and the screen then shows the Google logo for in excess of an hour. It doesn't go any further. So I can't factory reset either!!
When the screen is off, I have plugged into my computer, and it recognised. I managed to unlock it once (by guessing the pattern unlock) and I could see the file system. So it is on and working, the backlight is just off and I can't find any way to turn it on!
It is not rooted.
Any ideas or help???
I was just surfing through the net, I left my phone on bed & went to the bathroom, came back and found that the display won't turn on. Pressing the power button caused the back,recent apps buttons to light up but that's it. Even the LED notification lights work whenever a notification came.
Note : I think the phone turns on properly when I hold down the power button bcz I hear sounds, the led blinks, the phone even vibrates. But the display stays pitch black all the time.
What I tried :
Take out the battery, leave it for a few minutes then put it back on and try to turn on the phone.
Take out the battery and hold down the power button for a minute then put the battery back in and try to turn on. This time the phone turned on but when I pressed the power button once normally to turn off the display, it won't turn back on.
Try to go to recovery mode (Power+Home+V. UP). This worked once too but when I cleared cache and rebooted the device, it didn't turn back on.
Try to go to download mode (Power+Home+V. Down)
Plug the phone to my PC through USB cable, PC detected it but nothing happened.
Sometimes the phone turns back on normally but after a while it dies again. I checked the battery, it's fine.
Please help I was using my phone when the screen suddenly goes off but the phone is on, the screen is blinking (lights up and off) continuously but it stays blank. I can open and close the screen by clicking the power button as you would normally do if you're checking the time on your phone. I tried pressing the power button for more than 15 seconds; tried the volume down + power button for more than 15 seconds, and tried the volume up + power button combinations. I tried it while it was connected to the charger and I also tried it without connecting to the charger. All it does is restart/boot my phone I know because it vibrates, but no logo, no display of the battery charging, but the notification light turns red when connected meaning it is charging. I can connect it to the computer also and it displays my device's model. But all in all the screen just stays blank and just keeps blinking (like lighting up and down). The phone wasn't dropped and it did not get wet by any liquid substance, when it happened the battery is up to 87% and I left the screen off for 4 hours before using it then it happened. I am out of solutions as I can't also reset it as there is no display even the logo and battery charging display are gone. But I know it is alive because I can turn it on and off and connect to the charger and pc. If anyone knows or can diagnose the root of the problem it can lessen my worries and maybe just resort to bringing this to a cellphone repair shop. Thank you. TT____TT
