Qeustion
My HD screen is off, and i cant seem to get it on again.
I just was working on it 1hour ago, took it out of my pocket and see that i have no screen.
Rebooted the phone, but no succes .. i see the screen turning on, but it light-gray (backlight) but no actual info/colors etc, also tryd a soft reset, no succes.
I have the Energy ROM Com5 build from 8July with the new 2.12 radio rom.
Could it be that in some way the screen died?
Hope someone can help me, im @ work now so i cant connect it with the PC.
When im home im planning to reflash the device ..
Thanks!
Weird
I just pressed a button and the screen turned on, and the colours/info just slowely fade away ... weird.
Could it be that the touchscreen is not oke anymore?
Or could it be a problem in the radio/rom i use? (and therefore a reflash could fix this?)
Hope its a easy sollution, otherwise ill be flashing it to stock and get it fixed by HTC.
Very very strange.
It seems to work again.
Anyone think i should reflash it to stock and try get a new one?
Are these signs of a screen going defect?
I dont know, first phone for me with touchscreen.
I would suspect a faulty screen, if it is still within warranty i would deffinately get a new one, however yes, try going back to stock first, see if it helps, it may be just a bad flash.
screen problem
I've had this and similar problems with my HD2, now on the 5th replacement from HTC in just 6 months of owning the phone. I also had the same problem on my HTC HD previously. Press the power key and just the buttons at the bottom light up but no response from the screen. Also had exactly the same problem your experiencing where you can faintly see the screen but not lit up. Flash it to stock rom and return to HTC for repair.
BEWARE!!! take some pics with date stamps of your handset before returning. They sent me 3 handsets all with the glass front panel not fitted correctly. Check the return handset carefully, you should be able to feel a lip between the casing and the screen as the screen is set a fraction lower than the casing. THis should be uniform all around. They tried telling me that i had damaged it myself despite calling them as soon as the handset had been delivered back to me.

That's 'sleep of death', which affects loads of htc devices.
Oke i will stock it soon and return for repair.
I think its idd a screen problem, cause when the screen isnt functioning anymore, and when i put my ear on the glass, i hear a little squishing sound, like air is escaping .. it doesnt do that when the screen shows info/colour.
Is it just me or is the power button too flush to find and and too soft to press. I believe I will eventually get accustomed to its position which is a bit lower than on the GS2, but the rounded bezel and flushness seem to make it a bit hard to press sometimes. The volume rocker seems more click for some reason.

It's just you, you'll adjust to it eventually.
I had pretty much the same issue. Maybe a little worse. My power button had no "click" whatsoever. It would often get stuck in when I pressed it to shut the screen off and would then cause my phone to reboot over and over until I noticed.
This happened way more often than I would expect from a £500 phone, so I called Vodafone and explained the issue. They sent a person to deliver a brand new phone the next day and the power button on this one is much, much better. So if you think you could swing it as faulty hardware, which mine clearly was, then I'd recommend getting it replaced.
Is your power button much flusher than the volume rocker? Mine seems so.

I think it's just you.... ive played with over a dozen S3s and all the volume buttons are clickier than the power buttons.
I am having an issue with my top volume button, it seems a bit sticky.
My power mutton is crap also, no click at all. I have samsung's slim case ant it's very hard to press power button. I bought that phone only 4 days ago, so i don't want to send it to repair service, it takes usually about 2-4 weeks

You shouldn't need to send it away for warranty repair, the button seems faulty, I would get it replaced. I have similar issues with mine, the power button is spongy and creaks. I will receive a door to door replacement today. Don't sell yourself short mate
yh its too flush, some times i have to double check that if its working and ive pressed it. but i got used to it
my volume up button is very sticky, sometimes press and volume goes full blast when i dont want. kinda annoying, taken button out and cleaned but no difference . not sure if i should send back as im rooted :crying:

The volume up button broke on mine after 4 days. It stopped springing back up after pressing it. Vodafone swapped my handset, and so far so good.
It is a little worrying to see others having similar issues with their buttons - I assumed mine was an isolated incident.
So I've been playing with my phone for the last couple of days and recently I've been getting random reboots. I thought it was the ROM so I rolled back to a ROM I wasn't getting the issue and experienced the same. I did switch from CWM to TWRP and started getting the problem right around the same time. What happens is the phone goes dark like it's going to reboot, it does it's vibrate to say it's awake and repeats the vibrate roughly once a second until I push the power button a few times or until I pull the battery. I've been able to replicate this by holding the power button down.
Has anyone experienced this issue?
so is your power button broken?

it still functions but it feels touchy. it's very easy to activate it. I'm wondering if the hardware switch is loose and out of place. I'm still debating on tearing it down or calling Samsung and getting it replaced, but I'm not sure if I really want a referb or some tech playing with my phone.
A referb word be preferable to a broken power button.

haha I doubt it, I'll call them tomorrow to find out and if it's going to be too long I'll just tear it down and take a look at it. I have been meaning to look at the possibilities of adding an inductive charger to the phone, maybe this is the opportunity.
I'm having exact same problem. power buttong gets stuck if I press it. phone reboots and just vibrates after reboot without going to recovery or samsung logo. I have stopped using power button and enabled wakeup screen on volume button (SlimROM). Also added "Power" to power widgets in notification drawer settings. I try to avoid pressing power as much as possible.
i'm thinking of calling Samsung support or open phone myself to check it out. let me know if you got it fixed by Samsung. how long did it take to get the phone back? did you restore phone to stock rom before sending it? was it covered under warrenty?

I have an issue similar to this, im thinking my issue is loose connections. what mine does is turn on for a bit and then restart. I've been able to resolve mine by flashing this rom.

I would try taking your phone apart and cleaning the power button with a q-tip and a LITTLE alcohol. if that fails i'd try to flash the rom. Good Luck
attends nimeno
did flashing the rom every fix it op? or did you just go ahead and replace the power button? if the rom did fix it, can someone repost the link? the link is broken.
Again i would try cleaning the power button off first.
to do so:
there should be 9 small phillips screws around the battery -remove those
then the metallic looking rim around the phone has clips that clip the back portion to the rest of the phone. use a finger nail and seperate the grey from the white around the phone, unlatching the clips. remove the back cover and locate the power button(on the left when looking at it from the back. dap the q-tip in a tiny bit of alcohol barely moistening the cotton. apply the q-tip to the button getting a small amount on it and press the button until it clicks smoothly. on the cover you took off you can remove the button it has a little rubber angle on each end holding it in. clean around that also. reassemble and test.

Personally I wouldn't ever Odin with this issue, a reboot while flashing a new bootloader potentially boom. My issue was persistent through all roms and even in recovery which lead me to believe it was hardware. What I did to solve the issue was I pulled the case off, battery out and just played with the button for an hour or so. Felt how it clicked and if it was clicking funny. After that it worked fine. By playing with it I don't mean mashing on it, I mean gently and normal clicking, feeling where it caught and didn't. What it felt like to me was some lint under the button which eventually worked it's way out. Hope this helps

I had this issue of my power button sticking today. I took the phone apart and used some rubbing alcohol on a q-tip to get some on the button and pressed it repeatedly. I did that a few times and used some canned air to dry it out a few times. Put it all back together and button is working like new again.

If its not staying on at all then i agree with you. But if the problem is off and on and you've already tried cleaning the button thats really one of your last resorts. if the phone reboots during a flash you will get a firmware download error and you will have to reflash. may take a few tries but if the phone eventually stays on it'll be fine.

As I agree with you. Glad we're on the same page with a power issue like that, I'd check via the recovery image to see if it happened there and continue troubleshooting.

So I've confirmed it is the power switch. Any way to replace it?
dweezy you must have super tough fingernails. I recommend two guitar picks, working them as a pair -- one pixk to separate the bezel from the body, the other to hold the place as you move around the bezel.

Phone is stuck in a boot loop and this is what I know so far. Phone is on stock ROM, power button is working fine, I can get to recovery and OS and download mode, and while phone was charging I took the battery out and the phone keeps vibrating. I now know it's a hardware problem for me (I think), but I can not pin point where. Any advise would be helpful cause I really love my note and this is just breaking my heart. :crying:

When you get into recovery does the phone stay on? If so how long 10 mins? Hours? If it stays on I would assume its software.
Phone stays on forever in those modes, I'm gonna flash a different ROM to see what happens .... so I'm back to say it's a hardware problem. Same exact thing happens with liquid JB, paranadroid, and CM 10...did a clean wipe before installing each one too. Friend pointed me to some sites talking about a battery failure causing phones to do that so I'm gonna order a new one and see what happens...if this fails I have to get a new phone...and continue to work on my baby.
My Samsung Galaxy S2 (AT&T) is rooted, and I am running a custom ROM. It worked great for about 7 months, but yesterday my phone would randomly reboot when I would press my power button. I thought it was either the custom ROM or my power button was stuck so I installed a new custom ROM to see if that was the problem was software related. After I installed the new ROM the power button worked great, but this morning my phone would only unlock when I plugged it into the AC or when someone called me (The power button is not unlocking/locking the phone). I've tried to boot into Recovery, but I need the power button to reinstall a ROM and it's not working there either. I've done some research and one guy said it may have overheated and to let it sit without the battery for a few hours so this is what I'm doing now. However, I think I've come up with the conclusion that my power button is broken, and if this is the case I could use some help on how to fix it because I'm not skilled with phone hardware. Any help is appreciated, and if I find anything else that helps then I'll be sure to post back that my problem is fixed and what I did to fix it.
The ROM I'm running now is SlimBean for S2 (AT&T)
Has no one else had this problem? Does anyone have any fixes or suggestions?
Lots I'm sure. I remember seeing at least two other threads like this recently. U can get into download mode and flash without a power button if I'm not mistaken. Also u could use mobile odin pro to flash back to stock. I mean if your point is to try and find out if it's a hardware problem or q software problem. If you already know it's the hardware I would try and fix it yourself or get a warranty replacement.

Thanks for the reply. You can flash without a power button in CWM Touch, but Slimbean only has CWM. I can't flash Touch without a power button. Kind of a crappy situation. lol
UPDATE:
I just tried using the Odin method in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1313659), and now I'm stuck in a bootloop on the AT&T logo. I can get into 3e Recovery, but once again without a power button I can't do a Wipe Data/Factory Reset so I'm just stuck at this point. Any more suggestions?
You could have downloaded an app from the market called quick boot and booted into recovery mode. My daughters phone is doing the exact same thing. Haven't got a chance to look at it. I have found out that the power button is different from the international version. Would have been an easy fix if they were the same. Her's is less than a year old so I may send it in to Samsung for repair. The button looks like its modular and soldered to the board instead of being soldered to the board via a flat flex cable. I'm going to updated my post on the subject once I get some facts.

I could boot into recovery (CWM), but it didn't do me any good because my power button wasn't working so I couldn't select an option. An update after you get facts would be nice though. Thank you.

I was experiencing the exact same problem! At firstly my power button was so sensitive that it turned out to be a 'touch button' instead of pressed button. It always auto directed to power button menu. Until yesterday it decided to die on me. Thank God I installed AOKP rom which has the option to wake the screen with volume wake option.
However to answer your question (i ran into the same problem that I stuck in AT&T ICS boot logo), it's stuck because the data/cache needed to be wiped before it could freshly boot up. This is what I did:
1) Get into the download mode (with battery out/in, hold 2 volume buttons and plug into the usb)
2) Get Odin (I figured out you already have it)
3) Download a siyah kernel which version must be above 3 in order to have the touch kernel (nonswap or micswap in whatever you can find from the internet). Make sure you download the kernel in a TAR format. Otherwise ODIN wont work with it.
4) Flash the siyah kernel through Odin under PDA option
5) Now, unplug your usb and insert your battery. Hold on to both volume buttons again and all hail to auto bootup function in our phone. You will manage to get into siyah recovery
6) Reflash/restore any rom you want that has SIYAH's support
Hope this helps. Right now, Im searching for one working screen lock widget without having the screen on/off within seconds. It's annoying!
its a hardware problem.you can get it fixed from a local repair shop spending $10.

Just a quick update. I'll be talking it to a shop Monday to see if someone else can find the problem internally. In the meantime I've installed Quick Boot to restart/recovery/etc, ExTweaks to enable slide to wake (Volume wake didn't work all the time. This is much better.), and a Screen Lock Widget. I can finally use my phone again, but I still want this button fixed. lol

I spoke to Josh from mobile tech videos since my wife's i777 power button just took a Shiite. He said he can do it for $35. I fully trust his work as he fixed my old cappy long ago and I have spoken to him on a few occasions on the phone just to be android stuff.
I have been at work all week so I haven't even been able to see if my wife's phone is a software issue or hardware. But it can only be turned on (the screen) by plugging it into a charger. So I am following this thread so tomorrow or soon I hope to check out her phone or send it to Josh.

$35 is well worth this annoyance. I'm going to see what my local shop will charge; if he charges around the same price and I don't have to ship it then I will gladly take it there. That sounds like the same problem I was having so it's probably hardware, but you can flash another ROM to see if that fixes it. Please post back with any further information; this problem seems to be all over with no one giving much advice/tips. Good luck!

Yup. Unsure what causes it and how I got it back alive. Was thinking perhaps the board problem? Have you guys had some severe fall or water damage done to your phone before? Just asking
Sent from SGS2 i777.. be prepared for typo.
Mine was like that too, when i pressed it, it would bring the power menu or restart the phone as if i left it pressed some seconds, but now it works fine. Im using latest AOKP by task. Really weird.
Any way, while i was with the problem, i was using the slidetowake feature from Siyah, volume wake and an that maps long press search button to unlock, and i don't even use the power button anymore. Its more confortable to me to slide a finger across the screen, and to long press the search button to lock it.

That's interesting. I have not dropped my phone, and it has never gotten anything more than a little rain on the screen. I took it to a cell phone shop and he said that the water damage indicator inside the phone had turned pink which means that it thinks there was water damage, but there was no corrosion on the board or any other indicators of water damage. I don't know what could have turned that pink though...

That's how my problem started so I would be careful with using the button to much. It's good that you like the slide2wake more. lol I believe it's a soldering problem so the shop I took it to is looking into that.

That's what I thought it might be. Maybe shower steam? I did leave it with them, and he said all he did was mess with the button and it started working again. I don't know what it is... maybe dust in the button?
So my phone is in perfect condition i've had it under a month there has been no major damage to it, it looks new and has been in an otterbox all its life with another screen protector on it.
But when i woke up this morning the touch screen wouldn't respond. I could use all the buttons and they worked i could even pull up s voice by holding the home button and then pressing back button and get to android home menu with the app. But the touch screen would not detect my fingers at all.
I don't see how its possible it has got any damage it is in perfect condition.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I think i read somewhere about resetting the digitizer?
And as far as resetting it to factory and or going to a different firmware. Since i cannot access my apps i cannot really backup my phone and it has really important info that i can't lose. So i'm stuck in between 2 walls and i am screwed.. Any suggestions?
Oh and i also removed the otterbox and screen protector to make sure nothing trapped underneath it was causing interference. No luck. :crying:

if not rooted send it for warranty, and if it is rooted unroot it first and check download mode status before claiming warranty.
use a usb otg cable and usb mouse to navigate the screen.
You can make a backup using adb

My phone is in the shop for that and beeing repaired, probably a digitizer malfunction (hardware related). Buttons work but touch does not work. Send it in for repair. They will replace the whole screen.
