Just flashed AOKP b38 and it has been running well. I encountered a weird problem today. I ran the battery all the way down, and plugged it in (into my laptop) to charge. The normal "battery" charging screen came up. However, it would not let me turn the device on with a long-press of the power button. If i held the power button for 10 seconds, the device would hard-reset, and go back to the battery screen.
I ended up having to unplug, turn on with the power button (which now worked fine) and boot up until the AOKP boot screen came up, then re-plug in. Once booted up, the power button worked fine again, so I doubt it's a hardware issue. I also tried holding the volume up and down buttons, and that did not work either.
Any ideas?
Update - fixed by flashing the subZero kernel on top of AOKP

So I used my nook tablet all day yesterday and this morning. I put it down to goto lunch.. came back and noticed my wifi was not on.. I checked settings and it showed "Wifi turning off" and it was grayed out and just stuck.
I've seen this before with other android devices so no biggie. I powered the unit off.
Now it won't turn back on. Holding the power button now for about 20 secs and nothing.
The battery is at like 80% and I even plugged it in to see if it helped but no good.
I did root it at 1.4.0 and used the Block OTA method with titanium backup but nobody else seems to have a problem.
Is there a way to boot in recovery or something ? Perhaps a trip back to B&N will be needed.
Ok.. holding vol down + power for around 8 secs got it back on. Weird
i have noticed this a few times. Not sure why but never lost anything

His happened to me once and I don't know what I did to get it back on. Glad that I now know, thanks.
Sent from my rooted Nook Tablet.

I had a similar problem. I couldn't get the tablet to turn on. I discovered in a Kindle Fire forum that you could get the Fire to start when stuck in the off position by holding down the power button for 20 seconds. I tried that with my Nook and it started right up.
Thank! That worked! I was having the same issue. Said Wifi was turning off and all went blank and couldn't reboot. You gave me the answer.
Cheers.
I have had the wifi "turning off" issue. Rather than turn off the nook, I used the menu that you get with a long press of the power button when you install either ROM manager or titanium backup, can't remember which. It has rebooted every time without issue.
The Wifi issue is a known problem. You can set the wifi to stay awake when on the charger and this problem wont happen. Add the power widget so that you can turn the wifi off when not connectwd to the charger. This combo fixes the wifi issue. When your Nook experiences a kernel error it will appear as if it is off but if you hold it at angle, you will notice backlight is on. Just hold nook button and power and it will turn off...then power to reboot rom.

Actually, it's happened to me twice while I had WiFi set to never sleep when charging.
Moved To Q&A
We now have a Q&A section. Please post all questions there
I rooted my Nook Tablet and it worked fine yesterday. Now it won't turn on and isn't recognized by my PC. I hear the windows alert when a usb device is connected but when I try to do anything via adb I always get 'error: device not found'.
I tried doing adb get-state and all I got was 'unknown'
I tried booting into recovery via holding the power button + n for various amounts of time, but nothing happened.
Does anyone have any ideas? It was working fine yesterday and I haven't changed anything on it since I used it last.
Hold the power button down for about 10 seconds. let it sit for a minute, then hold the power button for another 5 seconds or so and release. It should boot up. (assuming your battery is charged)

I had to do a reset (power button + Home) twice so far. Each time it happened after I left the tablet to recharge overnight. It did not turn on as it normally does when you unplug the charger.
I must admit that the (power button + Home) reset does not seem to be cut & dry. The routine quoted above worked the first time. The second time, I tried it several times then finally I tried the pwr button by itself and it went on.
Mine just did this Power and vol down got it running again.
Pretty sure I overheated the phone last night, and now the power button doesn't work. I fell asleep with it in my pocket, I got a call from my wife early in the AM, after the call I found the screen wouldn't turn off. So today, I've tried an app or two to replace the power button, tried a 3 hour battery pull, and in a brief instance of idiocy, decided to reboot into recovery to try and wipe everything and see if that would do anything - now I am stuck in CWM Recovery w/out any working power button so I cannot even exit. I've tried pulling the battery again and it just reboots into recovery.
Any tips on how to get it out? I want to pull my pictures and info, wipe the phone then sell it on ebay - What would I need to do?
if it is a custom recovery you can use ADB while booted into recovery.
adb pull /sdcard
Has anyone had a problem with just the power button not working at all anymore?
My SII had the problem recently that the power button just does not work, so I can no longer wake the phone up after the screen has shut off. I'm guessing it is a hardware problem because I even restored it all the way back to stock.
Does anyone know how hard it is to replace the button if it is bad?
I had my power button fail for several days on me (it has since started workign fine again tho). I was in a similar place but when pulling battery, my phone would reboot normally so i could at least use my phone while on the charger. I know that pulling battery, holding volume up/down and reinserting will boot you into recovery so i'm wondering if your volume button is messed up too? can you navigate up and down in recovery with the volume keys?
I had to get my button working to position myself to avoid the issue but I'm now pretty much power button free and running siyah kernel (touch recovery) and i use the Stweaks swipe to unlock feature, rootbox rom with a power menu toggle, and a lock screen widget so i don't have to use my power button at all. Again, i had to get my power button working to flash the kernel though maybe you can push the kernel with odin then you'll have the touch recovery to try wipes and resets with?
edit: here is a link of tearing down a 9100. I think our power button is the same- unfortunately it looks like you have to solder the new one in.
I couldn't find the part# for the i777 (or confirm if it's the same as the 9100) but the power button for the 9100 is KEY FPCB-POWER KEY(GT_9100) GH59-10916A and is about $5 online
here's a vid of the breakdown, he's replacing the screen but browses over the power/volume keys too.

Phone was running LP Pacman rom and did fine for several weeksbut then started bootlooping for no apparent reason. Now it bootloops if I plug in the charger cable or hold down both volume keys or the volume down key even if I dont press the power button. If I press the power button by itself without plugging in the charger cable it doesn't do anything. When I take out and put in the battery the "SAMSUNG" logo come on momentarily but then nothing. I cant get it into recovery or download mode and Odin doesn't see the phone. I didn't drop the phone or get it wet or anything. Any ideas? does this sound like a hardware problem with the power button?
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
So I bought an S6 Edge today. Updated it OTA to 5.1.1
Fully charged it up.
Got off a 1 hour call, the entire UI was very unresponsive
Tried rebooting, it was stuck at the boot screen.
I can only get it to reboot by holding down vol+home+power, to the 'custom OS' screen.. and then pressing down to reboot
When it boots, it says 0% battery.. and turns off
Has anyone experienced this. When I hung up the call, I had 95% battery
Can I add this is the third phone I have received from Amazon
1st one - Wifi didn't work
2nd one - 4g didn't work
3rd one - Seemed fine, now this is happening!
So the phone is off and charging.
I got the battery to come up, it says 83%
But when I turn it on (hold vol down, power and home, press cancel).. it says 0% battery, and turns off after a few seconds
I can't even enter recovery normally (vol up, power and home, held down until the android appears)
I have to use the custom OS shortcut, click cancel, and then hold vol up, power and home
I decided to try a new charger. After a few seconds I get this:
http://i.imgur.com/eFejVLY.jpg
It said 98% a minute ago!
Could this be related to the issue?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/help/battery-resets-to-0-reboot-t3143657
Can't use that app as I don't have root..
you tried just holding down the power button and volume down button for 10 seconds to soft reset it?
Mine didnt boot up at all yesterday died at 80% battery, did the above and been fine since
