i have searched other threads before posting so i appologise if this has already been said in another thread that i have not found.
Anyway sometimes when i press my powerbutton to turn the screen on it it does nothing. sometimes if i keep hold of it for a secondd or 2 it works or sometimes i have to wait 10 seconds or so for my phone screen to turn on. or sometimes i press it and my screen comes on for a split second and then goes back off then i press it again it comes on haha
its not really a big deal but it sometimes gets annoying if you want to do something on my tg01 quickly and my tg01 power button is been slow to turn my screen on or just been a general arse

I'm afraid that this "problem" is not related with ROM. I have two and both have the same behaviour with different ROM. When it happens, a trick is push the camera button.
Hope this will help you....
ohh so its not just me then cheers for the tip and thanks for the quick reply

Can someone please help asap as time is running out. I have no way to get to a Barnes and Noble, this was bought online and today is the last day to return it.
My NT seems to be not off but not on either. If you look at the screen from an angle it looks a blueish/purplish/grayish color like when an old tv would get turned off. I can't get it to turn all the way off or turn on. Can anyone help?
Yes it is rooted by nook zergy method. I was reading with it, turned it off, put it on charge and when I went to take it off it was like this. I have tried I have tried the power button, n button, combinations there of and with the volume buttons and have not found a combination to get it on or off.
Please advise. Thank you!
Update: Well after freaking out and trying everything I could think of I have called B&N and told I just hadn't held the Power and N button long enough. I thought it was 3 seconds but I was so wrong. It took 20+- seconds. Moderator you can leave this to help other people like me or delete as you see fit. Thanks!!
power + N and hold both til it shuts down?
not clear if you already tried this.
edit: you must have posted same time i did. glad you got er worked out.
Thanks for trying to help me!!!!!!!! I feel so stupid for not holding it long enough and then running hear screaming for help. I'm thankful you were kind enough to offer me help. I guess someday's these things just get to a person more than others. Thank you much.
Yeah you have to hold the power button for like 10+ secs to force the Nook to fully power off.
I've had this happen a few times as well and ejecting the MicroSD card usually works as well. This, of course, is faster than waiting for a reboot.
Need some serious assistance. Was playing with my dogs just a bit ago and decided to record it. So I go to the camera and switch to camcorder and the screen just turns green and the flash comes on and basically it's stuck. Ok so I go to settings and force stop the camera. Try to start it up and it just says unable to start camera. Ok so I guess I'll just restart the phone. Go to restart get to the white htc screen and the flash is still on. hangs there for quite awhile so I start hitting buttons. Screen goes black so I hold the power button again. Capacitative lights just flash. So now the phone won't power on no matter what I do the capacitive lights just flash at me. Any suggestions?
try holding power for like twenty seconds to reboot it.. it's like pulling the battery out. The capacitive light flash apparently means it's signaling to you that it's about to do a full reset.

Will give it a shot. My first phone with non removable battery.
Seems to have worked thanks a ton. Kinda worries me that the camcorder freaked it out like that though.

Sorry to hear this, try this. Plug in the charger, hold the power button. Release power button, hold it down again all with the charger in. I had some sort of soft brick messing with custom roms. It would not power on till i tried with the charger plug connected. I was spooked and thought it bricked.
Let me know how you get on. If that fails, RMA time

jayochs advice fixed it. Kinda freaked me out. May return it anyway as this isn't the first time the camera has caused some goofiness with the phone. Not rooted still 100% stock.
Hello to everyone in this Awesome forum, long time lurker here, first time poster. I have a vast experience flashing Roms on a plethora of devices From My Huawei Ascend/Htc Amaze and plenty more but today my Lack of knowledge has finally caught up and I flashed CM10.1 on my HTC One(M7) and it was working fine but until earlier today when my screen went off and it wont come back on... I called my phone and the call goes thru you can see the soft keys turn on but the screen stays off, now when I long press the power/IR button the soft keys flash many times but the phone doesn't Reboot it just keeps flashing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. and yes to the trolls out there I have been looking on the forum for around 3 hours and all I can find is HTC One X post... Thanks For the HElp
You need to hold down the power button for 10 secs and it should reboot. If not you can try to boot into recovery using adb on your computer.
If you still can't see your screen then try using this app called [email protected] on your pc to try and mirror your phone.

Thanks for the suggestions, ill post back if any of them work.
(Update) it seems my phone is not on adb debug so it wont work with the latter and when it comes to the power hold I've been holding for longer than a min and nothing happens... thanks tho
I had this same exact problem last night, I just plugged back into the charger(the one connected to the wall outlet) and the screen came back on and it asked for my SIM card lock passcode, after that then it rebooted itself, and has been working fine since.
Hope this helps

hi all,
i had same problem, it happened second time, after i finish phone call, screen can not turn on while phone is on, volume keys react, and there is sound from incoming call.
tried to reboot, tried to to enter to recovery mode, every time two led buttons at the bottom were on or blinking.
first time when it happened reboot (hold power button for 10 sec) helped, and second time nothing could help, after about hour it started to work again.
very strange, i changed version and waiting for results.
This is most likely an issue with the light sensor at the top left of the front of the phone..
I've noticed similar symptoms during calls.. but if you are near a bright light the screen will become visible.
Additionally.. i recently had an issue where the phone shut off and wouldnt turn back on.. i held a bright light to the light sensor and then held the power down along with Volume -/+ buttons and the issue resolved itself..
the light sensor...
I had the same problems with the screen... first it was happen randomly from time to time. Plug it to charging and blank screen. Not responding to hard buttons. And come up from alone. All this happen few times until today... Does not matter what you do, the screen remain black and dead. Start thinking for replacement of the screen(which is very costly and seems that need to be done by htc=$200).
The case: the light sensor working in kind of revers mode. Means when there is light screen is still shot off(the chip did not get the proper signal and "think" it is still dark) so the screen is out of power and all the hard button and soft as well are out of any function. Pressing the power button ends up flashing soft home and revers on the screen, same as described in the first post.
THE SOLUTION: take a led flash light(i used another phone flash light) and light the sensor in the upper left corner of the phone. If this is the problem the screen will immediately come on. Then press the power button and restart the phone to reset the logic signal to the chip and to have proper reading. NOTE: it is kind of hard to operate the phone and light at the same time the sensor with the flash light. If needed get some help but you need sensor covered with light until restart the phone, otherwise the screen will become black immediately.
GOOD LUCK,
Ok so I ran into an issue here I've never had before. While I was using my phone, it rebooted on me. Not all that uncommon, but this time, after it turned off, it started vibrating and the camera LED started flashing on every vibrate. I've never seen this before. Holding the power button did nothing, and I had to pull the battery. However, this still didn't solve the issue. As soon as I put the battery back in, it would immediately vibrate, flash the Samsung logo, and then nothing. Holding the power will not do anything. Plugging the phone in for charging will just make it continuously vibrate every second.
I'm really stuck here. This is my only phone and not much idea what is going on. I have not changed anything on my phone in months. I'm somewhat led to believe this is the stuck power button issue, since it will immediately vibrate as soon as I put the battery in. But it would seem odd as I didn't touch the power button when it originally went into that odd LED reboot sequence.
Any ideas??
I'm going to say it's a stuck power button. With your finger flick the back of the phone by the power button a bunch of times.

First, I'm going to say it's amazing how problems occur for different people within a short amount of time.
Second, Thank you 440bro. My phone started acting strangely very similarly to how cgi described and I couldn't figure out what the issue was. When I went to into download mode it would shut off 5 seconds later. I'm really surprised the power button didn't unstick when I was doing that. But I flicked mine a few times and wala, working phone. I was all gearing up to buy a new phone too.

I've never had the power button issue, but to me the power button clicks very strongly as it normally would. It does not feel as if it is stuck in..
And I can not get it to go any further than the samsung logo for a split second. I can't get it into download or anything.

Hmm, it sounds like your issue is a little different that mine. Mine acted similarly to yours minus the camera flashing. If I put in the battery, it would vibrate, I'd get the logo, then 4 or 5 seconds later it would turn off. If I put it on charger, it would just vibrate every second or so.
Try this. Take your battery out completely, then put it in while holding the vol down button only. See if the download screen pops up. If it does then it's definitely the power button. If that's it, try using a straight pin to scrape out any crud that worked its way between the case and button.

Sounds the same. However, after getting the logo, it just goes black, then nothing happens after that. On the charger it does the same as yours. It also vibrates every second if I just hold vol down.
The download screen did pop up when i did that. It came up, then went black after maybe 2 seconds.
No amount of flicking or banging this thing is knocking it free. I tried scraping but still nothing. I began to take all the screws out but can't find an easy way to pry the white casing out.
You guys wouldn't believe how many people on here have been through what you're going thru. Including me! My button clicked perfectly. It started rebooting while it was sitting on my tool box. So I couldn't imagine it was the power button. One day I stripped it down too almost nothing. While it was stripped I powered it up and decided to flick various areas with my finger. Flicking the power button fixed it! I was like wtf! It happened a couple months later. Instead of stripping, I started flicking! Cures me every time now.

Well, at least it's reassuring knowing I found my culprit. What isn't so reassuring is that flicking it isn't fixing it. After watching the video for the SII replacement, I'm worried that the switch actually went bad and needs replacement. When you took it apart, how did you disassemble it once you removed all the screws? I tried prying up a bit with a mini screwdriver but I'm worried I'm going to crack the case.
Watch this video how to take it apart.

wooohoooo
Got it booted back up and working again. Thanks everyone.
I really don't know exactly what the cause was. As the above poster mentioned.. I took the thing fully apart and didn't notice anything odd or stuck. The outer part of the button was fine, nothing dirty or stuck, and then the button itself appeared fine and would click seemingly normally. I just took out the outer part of the button to clean it, and just kind of wiggled around the physical button itself. Reassembled and all good so far. It just booted up now.
NOT a Boot Loop.. To be clear.
So today at Pax prime, i'm surfing reddit waiting to play EVOLVE (TOTALLY awesome) when a friend comes over to say hey. I put phone in pocket, conversation ends, I pull phone out, and its off.
I try to turn back on and nothing. I take battery out, put it back in and it instantly vibrates and does nothing else.. I try said approach about 800 times and nothing. I find that when i put battery in, its like as soon as the contacts touch it replicates the power button. So i try to boot into recovery by sliding battery in and quickly positioning my fingers on + and Home buttons, and in the upper left it says Recovery boothing.
Then nothing else happens.. I try downloading. This results in the downloading warning and what not, then gives me the option to + into downloading mode or the - to cancel. Then the screen shuts off. . Curious, I try this again, and before I finish reading the whole warning and all yellow text, it turns off again.. SO i'm like.. hmm battery. Charge for 6 hours and wait in insane lines. . . Go back to phone. Try downloading again... and same behavior.. This time instead of reading I hit + and it gets into DL mode then turns off... I repeat but faster and then faster and faster again, and it just turns off. I timed it and my phone will only stay actively on for 5 seconds exactly from the point of contact on the power source and the vibration as if the phone was turned on.
I cannot connect to computer to ODIN or do anything else to it to get it to behave for more than these precious 5 seconds...
NO idea whats going on. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm running the Latest (stable?) build of SlimKat 4.4.4 build 7 with CWM recovery
Just bumping because cannot use phone. No backup. ALL bad.
Additionally, is there a way to hard reset your phone with out it turning on?? If that existed, that would make my day.. Like a reset button that I can just put a paperclip in.

Hey I really appreciate the reply. I have yet to find any other threads with similar issues but its definitely possible that I was not using the right search criteria.
Today I was driving to work and tried turning it on and it was like nothing was ever wrong... Its worked fine since then as well. So can a power button shorting out cause this behavior? Or is in the process of becoming completely shorted out?
