Here is my problem. If when i am using my touchpad i happen to hit the power button by mistake it seems to freeze my touchpad(or is like a pause button). I try and get back to what i was doing but nothing seems to help me get back. I have held the power button and what i call the home button together and for some reason my camera starts snapping away?
If i plug my touchpad into my computer it seems to unfreeze on its own! Without the computer i have to reboot and loose everything i was doing. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciate..thanks

I fell asleep next to my phone one night and when i woke up and tried to wake up my phone the volume menu opened up and acted like if i was pressing the volume bar repeatedly. I turned it off and on again and once it boots into Windows the same thing, if i try to press volume down it will and it will go right back up again. The Volume rocker button is fine and not stuck. I found out though if i hold up and down before windows mobile boots up it will allow me to operate as normal but once i let go It goes back to the volume going all the way up. I have flashed different roms to no avail.
Does anyone have any ideas to what could be causing this?
I just started having the same problem with a Samsung Omnia 7. It fell into some water, let's say it was a bucket, i pulled it apart and thoroughly dried it. Seemed to work perfectly for a few hours, now the volume thing.
Our HD2's hard buttons are not invincible and I learned that the hard way. After lots of use on my phone the send, home, end, and volume down buttons stopped working. I also believe my end button is stuck on because it always boots up on its own, meaning I can't shut it down and leave it off. I have to take the battery out of it.
My advice is if you can find a way to use "soft" buttons to navigate your phone do it and save yourself the hassle of breaking the hard ones for when you need them. Good luck!
HD2 Volume Stuck on UP

I had a few drips of water it my hd2 and a couple days later, I rebooted and after it rebooted, the volume is stuck on UP. I took it apart. I has nothing to do with the button itself as I removed the button and it's still stuck. Still no solution yet.
Hi,
Did anyone find a solution for this? I had to hard reset my HD2 couple of days ago. After the reset, I installed all the apps, one after another. The phone worked fine for a day, until this afternoon when it started acting crazy. First symptom was that when you type some numbers of the "Phone" screen to look up a contact, I was not able to delete the using the back button. Other keys like up, down, left, right too didn't work in the SMS compose screen. I restarted the phone thinking that it would resolve the issue, but worse. The volume control showed up just after the boot and the "volume up" tone was constantly going off as though I was pressing the volume-up button constantly. I tried rebooting and remove the battery, SD etc, uninstalled few programs, but to no avail.
Request help from senior members...
For some reason I can't shut my touchpad down. If I hold the power button down, not much happens until I release the button. Then the screen turns off. Tap it again and it's back.
Any ideas?
thats strange try a hard reset, hold the power button and the home button down for literally a minute or so or until it resets. it will reboot into moboot hopefully. you might have to do that and go back into webos to completely shut down. good luck
Thanks for the reply, I was just trying it when the battery ran out!
But I'll give it a go if the problem returns, thanks.
Ran into the same problem today. The power menu, along with various power/reboot widgets wouldn't work, but after about 20 seconds of holding home+power it worked and booted to moboot.
I had this happen to a coworker, after I had recently upgraded her to alpha3. I tried everything to repair it before deciding to start from scratch. The best thing to do is restart using the power and home buttons (hold them until reboot).
Then think about reinstalling.
Good luck!

I had this same issue today. I downloaded Quick Boot from the app store and it allowed me to restart. Worked great
just happened me too, it MAY have something to do with low battery, i noticed someone above had the problem with low battery. mine happens to be low too
also, i turned off lockscreen earlier, maybe that was related.
I was in TWRP recovery flashing Xron rom b2.9 and the recovery said the zip file cant open. So it just kept doing its thing and would not let me go back to the main menu. I tried hitting home and back buttons, but no luck.
This was not found by me. I am giving credit to this amazing person who somehow found a trick to reboot the device even if your not in an OS.
"The reboot solution that I found to work all the time is to simultaneously hold the power button, volume down button and the big HP button for 30 seconds."

I had an issue with my Touchpad where the touchscreen stopped responding in CM7. Volume rocker worked and power button would turn the screen on and off, but I was stuck with no touchscreen and no means to reboot. After a mild panic attack, I plugged it into my computer and luckily had debug mode enabled so I was able to adb reboot it.
But this... this is incredibly useful. Thank you for the post. I'm glad to see that the manufacturers making devices without removable batteries are giving us a trump card to hard reset the devices. My 7" Galaxy Tab has a similar function where holding the power button down for long enough eventually resets the device.
..or you can just hold power + card button for 6 seconds. no volume button needed.
Hello guys, I'll try to be as brieff as possible:
My cousin has a SGS3, which suddenly started showing the power options screen (when you long press power button). Now his phone restarts on its own every time. When you insert the battery, it turns on by itself. If you try to access download mode or recovery mode, it does it but restarts again. I read it may be the power button is not working properly, but I dissassembled the phone and the switch is works normally (it's not broken, either stuck). I read several solutions about clearing cache and stuff, but it just keeps restarting! Like if someone were pushing the powerbutton every time. Btw, he discovered he can turn the phone on and actually stop the phone from restarting if he continously presses the power button and menu button alternatively without stopping (which is useless). When he stops doing that, 3 secs later, it restarts again. Any suggestions?
It's a hardware fault, did you test the button with a meter?
If yes then something else is shorted, to power on when the battery is inserted.

Ah, so this is merely hardware. I did not test it, but now it seems clear something is wrong on the inside (which, unfortunately, I cannot help with). Thanks mate!
Wifes phone does nothing but restart its self, I need to get her pictures off her phone. I pull the battery out and as soon as I put it back in the phone boots, sometimes will boot all the way but always restarts itself. Anything I can do to get the pictures off this phone? Phone is not rooted. Thanks.
anyone?
Your power button is probably broken or dirty. The latter is a very easy fix. Disassemble your S3 and clean the power button with alcohol. It will remove any kind of dirt thats around your power button which makes it restart all the time ( I had the same problem). If your button is actually broken, you need to remove the power button (There are a few videos on youtube that will guide you through both procedures). I hope it helps.
