Hi guys,
Im wondering if any of you HD2 pros can help me out. My power button recently stopped working. Now I cant turn on my phone Is there anything AT ALL I can do to turn my phone on?
Thanks for any help at all.
Edit: After trying everything I could think of I found out that if you hit the soft reset button on the back while plugged into a power source it will boot up!
you can use an app..that powers on your hd2 with shaking the phone...it is in the themes and apps section....may use up a little battery
Is this what you meant?

Well I can wake the device by hitting the call key, my problem is once my phone dies or if it freezes and I have to pull the battery, I cant turn it back on since I have no power button. Has anyone else had their power button broke? Was it a hassle to get fixed? Thanks for any help guys!!
Yes, put your phone on charger and take out the battery and put it back in and it should turn on without holding the end key.

I accidently flshed a HD2 T-Mobile USA HD2. The phone just become stone dead. Can not turn on at all, no sign, no charge light. simply nothing, can't do hard reset, too. Is there any way to reflash the rom(with jtag maybe)?

Hi
try this: Remove battery, then hold the volume key down, then put battery back in while still holding volume key down. No push power button once (while still holding volume key down.
See if this puts you back to the multi colour boot screen mode.

Hi Russ
I try it,but still doesn't work.
Shuai
OK do you know if you had a full charge on the battery when you started? Try to charge the phone up(while off) see if the little red light comes on. If it does, leave it until it goes green, then try a reset. That the little red button on the left at the bottom where the cover sits. use a pen to reset this and then try the volume down and start. See if we can get some where this time
Russ
What did you flash??
was there a radio involved.......... did it have .51. in the name???
If so then its dead. JTAG is your only option........ or warranty but you didnt hear that from me...........
This is what you call a bricked phone. Well, I hope you have warranty.

Sorry for that
Try to hold the power button for 20 second
tried that, didn't work
OK
Recharge ur device and try to volume down button with power button for 20 second
was fully charged when it died, if there is no hardware reset button on the device, maybe i'll get lucky when the battery goes flat.
If it doesn't work, i'll have to send it in...
Thanks
got it working, all i had to do is let the battery run flat and then charge it, now i'm going to root it.
Hi guys,my brother has the active,and today he just found it dead in his pocket.No turn on,no lights,just a small vibration bump when holding the power key.Any clues?
I've changed battery,SEUS won't detect the phone.However,Flashtool detects a SE phone when I'm holding the volume key.
It was never rooted,just stock firmware.
Any clues?Please help

This thread should go in general not development.
Now i would say that if he never modified the phone and if it still have warranty to take it to a sony ericsson service center that would be his best option.
Try taking the battery out for a few minutes, and by a few i mean something like 5 minutes, then try turning it on.

Remember to try to turn it on, while the battery is out... that will help to drain the capacitors for energy.

If you have unlock bootloader.. And you try to update over the Air then you brick your mobile.. For that just relock your bootloadet

Small vibration when pressing the power button is completely normal. It means, that you don't have to hold the button more...
What happened before this occured?

it was in his brother pocket i don't think he done anything they never do when something goes wrong
just kidding i think there's something wrong from factory and if he don't want to take it back for me the next step will be to try and flash generic firm using wotan server.
Because smaller brother's tend to lie, and since this is a waterproof phone, before sending it to get fixed, make sure that the humidity stickers on the inside of the phone and on the battery are still white and not pink/red.

And if in service they notice, that phone was opened before?

What? You dont have to unscrew anything to see them. The one on the phone is just on top of the SD card, and the battery one is visible with the battery inserted, from the gap that the Sim card hole has.
Be cool guys,I've "interrogated" him,and I don't think he done anything.
Stickers are fine,and the phone is just 3 months old.Well,it's going to service on Monday.It's just so strange to die like that.
By the way,yesterday in the evening it started to blink red.I've put it on charger and the led soon became yellow,but hte phone still won't turn on.I've replaced the battery with a fresh 100% one from my X8,and still no effect.The battery from the Active is also fine,my X8 works with it,and it's about 70%.
What happens after the vibration during the power button?

TP cannot turn on without dock if powered off completely...
Happens when its shut off completely as in long press the power button. No matter how long I hold it to turn on it just refuses to turn on.
I plug it into the dock give the power button a tap and it turns on. Without the dock no matter what I try it just will not turn on.
Anyone have the same issue or is mine isolated and an exchange is in order?

I don't know if I'm having that same problem but my TP has a tendency to shut itself off if I have the keyboard attached and leave it sitting for a day or two. I have to push and hold the power button for it to come on. I haven't tried taking the keyboard off and hitting the power button.

Have you tried quickboot from the google play store it's free. That is what I use to shut down most of my Andriod devices.
Not sure this will help. Try a soft reset. With the tablet on insert a small wire in the hole near the SD card slot. Worth a shot at least.

Will it turn on into the bootloader? Not sure about the Prime but on my Aria you press the volumn down and power at the same time. There are options there that might help. Be careful and I'm sure the experts here will chime in wether this would help or not.

I tried this too...nothing happens too. No bootloader. However if I press the up button and power the backlight flash awhile then back in to the darkness. Wonder what that is for..
The weird thing is..I did not even explicitly turn off the prime...I always leave it in standby. It turns itself off after awhile of not in use. Anyone face that issue? And then I got to go running for a dock again because I cant turn it back on
Sounds to me like you ran the battery dead and placing it in the dock makes it think it still has battery. If the battery is completely run out it takes about 5-10% charge to get it to turn on. Seems pretty common among all my devices.

Nope...battery for both is full..plugging in just the power direct into the tablet won't work either..it has to be the dock..
How long have you held the power button? I find that if you hold the power button down for an extended period it will turn on.

I'm sorry to hear that. I'm on my 3rd Prime. The power button on the 2nd was different where you really had to search for it to turn it on. It worked but it was almost flush with the metal. This one's better but it seems like it's getting harder to turn on as the days go by. I find myself having to press a couple times to get it just right to turn it on.
I have heard several people complain about the power button but I think it was mostly that it was hard to find. You must have one that's not working too. My experience with RMA is give it 7 days once they get it and call every other day for an update. (They'll keep asking for 24-48 hours to get an answer) Keep notes because they are and one more thing, take pictures of how you packed it and the condition of your Prime. You never know when that might come in handy. Good luck.
Hey all,
I have a Droid DNA that has not been rooted or have anything but stock ROM running on it. Today, I was using Snapchat when suddenly I get the box that pops up when you hold down the power button and then you choose whether to turn it off, restart it, or put it into airplane mode. Then, there's a notification that in 3, 2, 1, your device will be shut off.
After it shuts off, it goes into the infinite bootloop where it doesn't go past the HTC screen and I can't even do anything in the bootloader because it just restarts mid-pressing of the volume buttons.
I think the power button might be stuck, but it feels mechanically fine. I think it's stuck though because without even pressing the power button I could just hold VOLUME DOWN and still get into the bootloader for like 4 seconds.
Is there anything I could do?
Thank you so much in advance.

Take it back to verizon if its not rooted or anything, show them whats going on, they will probably tell you to send it in to be fixed.

I think I'm going to have to. I let it run its course until the battery died and was hoping to resurrect it by charging. However, now its not even charging. There's no orange LED (blinking or constant) to let me know the phone is charging. Damn.
