A few months ago I dropped my himalaya all appeared to be well except the power button stopped working. After I opened it up to see what was going on, I found the switch to be missing.
Anyway no real problem except having to press green button to wake the thing up all the time.
So today I thought I'd try WM5 but without the power button I can't get into bootloader. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

It looks like you may have a hardware issue (on the board). Did the phone get wet or damaged in any way?

I know that the hardware starts acting funny if it get wet since the contacts for the buttons can short out. I would get HTC to take another look at it. Also, make sure that you are not damaging the device accidentally by crushing it in your pocket or things of that nature.
Heey i have a problem with my power button. Had this problem before but it was gone after one day. The problem is my powerbutton isnt functionaly like it has to be. It changes from time to time.
Sometimes it doesnt work at all when i push the powerbutton.
Sometimes it works slowly. And when i have pushed te button couple of times, i get a phone with screen on, off, on off etc. Like it has lag or something.
When my powerbutton wasnt working yesterday, I saw that the button was pushed the whole time. I mean when you push powerbutton and homebutton you make a screenshot. If i only pushed the homebutton it was making a screenshot.
This things change from time to time. Any one got any ideas????
Im not even sure if its my button that is failing or it has to do something with software.
btw i already tried reflashing rom and kernel with no result.
thx in advance
It's the button, not the software that is the problem. Try taking off the back cover and cleaning out whatever dirt/lint that could be under the button.
i tried that already but it doesnt seem to work. Looks like i have to go back to stock rom for warranty. Hope this is going to be possible since my powerbutton isnt working.
Hi,
i recently bought 2 Galaxy S wifi 5.0 as there was a deal going. first one worked fine but a few days later and i've opened up the second one to find the screen isnt working.
its stuck at the 'select locale' screen from the initial setup with me unable to scroll and select any options. the back and menu keys don't work either although the home button seems to be doing something as the keys light up when pressed and it also works in recovery mode.
The volume key works as i can see the media volume going up and down when its pressed, it also worked when i booted into recovery mode to try a factory reset.
i can see the media scanning running after bootup and when i plug in the usb to a computer it appears with the USB connected (but ofc i cant press the button) so i think the system is running fine?
the power button seems a bit stickier than the one thats working fine and also when i hold the power button in to shut down the device (unable to press power off) it comes straight back on. is there way to force a shutdown rather than reboot?
just wandering if theres anything i can do to hard reset? im a bit reluctant to flash a stock rom / gingerbread as i have on the other one if the screen is just dead but thought id see if anyone had any ideas of anything i can try?
cheers,
Well, I would return it since it is still under 30 days (where did you get it?).
comet was £99.
yeh ill probs take it in tomorrow just wandered if there was anything i could do to double check the screen was definitely goosed
My Motorola Xoom WiFi's power button has stopped working properly. I believe that the button does work as I can use it to perform soft reset(pwr+vol up). But, it does not put the device to sleep or wake it. Not sure what happened... I took the device off of the charging dock four days ago and it has not worked since. Also does not remember my WiFi password if the screen times out. Once this happens I have to use power+ volume up to turn it on again. Waiting for reboot each time sucks. I would appreciate any help as I am somewhat of a noob. Thank you.
Hi guys,
I know there are Threads about S2 shutting down randomly but in my case it's a bit different.
I bought my S2 as a used phone roughly a year ago. I rootet it and installed cyanogenmod 10.sth.
The problems started maybe 3 months ago when the phone just randomly shutted down after screen flickering although the battery was not empty. The guy from ebay told me it's not the stock battery he changed it. Now suddenly the power button is not working anymore so I changed the lock button to the volume down button which worked briefly. So now the phone is running but I can not unlock it because neither my power button nor the 'new' unlock button (volume button) is working. I can however plug the USB cable into the phone which will wake it up.
Next I tried booting into clockwork mode which worked without pressing the power button at all. I only pressed volume up and down. Inside the clockwork menu I could not select anything because the power button is not working.
My problem is I can not see any pattern in this mess. I am thinking about a defect/old battery or permanently active power button or damaged ROM, I have no clue.
Do you guys maybe saw this problem before or is it a combination of several problems?
Best,
Hoernle
