Hi Guys,
My phone's power button started behaving strangely yesterday (don't know what triggered it, didn't install any app or change setting which could cause it).
It works as EXPECTED:
1) To Turn on the phone.
2) To Turn on the Screen from Sleep Mode.
3) To reset/shutdown when pressing together with Volume Up Key.
It works Weird:
1) When Screen Is Already "On" and I want to turn the screen off by pressing it. It works as Volume UP Key :S
This started happening yesterday and as It was working fine in all other cases except the one I mentioned, I thought it would be a settings/software issue. I reset my phone with Sony Update Service but nothing changed.
Edit: I have latest stock firmware which happens to be 6.1.1.B.1.75
Did anybody have same issue? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Rizwan

Heey i have a problem with my power button. Had this problem before but it was gone after one day. The problem is my powerbutton isnt functionaly like it has to be. It changes from time to time.
Sometimes it doesnt work at all when i push the powerbutton.
Sometimes it works slowly. And when i have pushed te button couple of times, i get a phone with screen on, off, on off etc. Like it has lag or something.
When my powerbutton wasnt working yesterday, I saw that the button was pushed the whole time. I mean when you push powerbutton and homebutton you make a screenshot. If i only pushed the homebutton it was making a screenshot.
This things change from time to time. Any one got any ideas????
Im not even sure if its my button that is failing or it has to do something with software.
btw i already tried reflashing rom and kernel with no result.
thx in advance
It's the button, not the software that is the problem. Try taking off the back cover and cleaning out whatever dirt/lint that could be under the button.
i tried that already but it doesnt seem to work. Looks like i have to go back to stock rom for warranty. Hope this is going to be possible since my powerbutton isnt working.
Hi,
i recently bought 2 Galaxy S wifi 5.0 as there was a deal going. first one worked fine but a few days later and i've opened up the second one to find the screen isnt working.
its stuck at the 'select locale' screen from the initial setup with me unable to scroll and select any options. the back and menu keys don't work either although the home button seems to be doing something as the keys light up when pressed and it also works in recovery mode.
The volume key works as i can see the media volume going up and down when its pressed, it also worked when i booted into recovery mode to try a factory reset.
i can see the media scanning running after bootup and when i plug in the usb to a computer it appears with the USB connected (but ofc i cant press the button) so i think the system is running fine?
the power button seems a bit stickier than the one thats working fine and also when i hold the power button in to shut down the device (unable to press power off) it comes straight back on. is there way to force a shutdown rather than reboot?
just wandering if theres anything i can do to hard reset? im a bit reluctant to flash a stock rom / gingerbread as i have on the other one if the screen is just dead but thought id see if anyone had any ideas of anything i can try?
cheers,
Well, I would return it since it is still under 30 days (where did you get it?).
comet was £99.
yeh ill probs take it in tomorrow just wandered if there was anything i could do to double check the screen was definitely goosed
Hey all. So lately i've been having problems with the Sony Xperia x10i, and I decided to do a factory reset which seemed to clear all my problems but now the home button does not work at all, except when I use it to wake the device (when the display is turned off and I press it, it turns on the screen and shows me the homescreen).
Is there any way to resolve this?
Thanks,
David.
I have been playing with my MOTO E for quite a few days.
The ONE thing that kept bothering me for all these days were the Random Reboots.
After trying many thing finally I have come up with a practical solution to this problem.
I have been having random reboots with the Stock Rom as well as other Custom Roms. Usually while pressing the power button the power menu used to appear for few seconds and then without pressing anything the phone to restart, and this happened with the stock rom as well as other custom roms. I had contacted Motorola, they had asked me to boot into SAFE mode and see if the problem persisted , and it did. So I started using the trail and error method and what I found out that it's a hardware issue, or a issue with how our power button works.
SOLUTION :
So basically what I did is I replaced the power button with the Volume buttons for waking up the device, and for putting it to sleep i assigned the pull up gesture(which is usually for launching google now). I assigned the sleep function in CM11 for the pull up gesture(if you are using the stock rom you'll need to use screen lock apps which allows that function).
After applying this, I have been using my phone for about a month now, WITHOUT a single random reboot.
This is a simple yet effective solution.
Hopefully this'll help you and save you those annoying random reboots.
Can you please explain in detail ? I am using stock rom, and my phone reboots randomly few times a day.

Use "Pocket Lock" application to lock and unlock/wake your device instead of the power button and check if the problem persist...!!
Hello,
as I was going mad with the "Power Button random reboot", I discovered your helpful post. I didn't know it was possible to set the phone to wake up on volume buttons. On the other hand CM allows you to put your phone in sleep mode touching the notify bar twice.
Half a day with these settings, it seems good, Moto E has a real problem with power button, now I have to control myself not to touch it anymore !
Thanks.
Hello all!
My Moto E is of lately causing a very weird problem. If I press the power button more than even 1.5 to 2 seconds (yeah, I measured it), the phone restarts. This problem was persistent when I had not rooted the phone, and even now after rooting with PA 4.6 beta5 ROM, the problem has become more grave. If I keep the button pressed even for half a second more after the Power Options are displayed, the phone restarts! I tried Factory Reset, Re-Flashing the ROM, but all in vain.
This is really a grave problem for me.
Please help.
Im too facing this randomly... I guess thats a hardware problem( mayb switch)...
Same problem here... Did everything I can... But all in vain....
Me too.....it used to randomly restart...and now i think the power button is stuck inside a little...
Its already reported in Official Motorola forum by many people here. Now i use volume key to wake up phone using Gravity box and double tap statusbar to sleep...

I used to have the same problem. Later I rooted the device and installed xposed framework. Still it rebooted randomly. I had dropped the phone a little while ago due to which the power button became a little loose. Afraid of breaking the power button, I started to wake up my device using volume buttons. Use GravityBox to do so if you have xposed installed. Else you can search for an app that does the same on Play Store(although these apps suck your battery heavily). After using the volume buttons to wake up my device, I noticed that my phone no longer restarts. If your phone still restarts after following these steps, use any different way to lock the device like 'double tap on Status Bar' (like I use).
Hope I helped friend.
me too!
i have been having this problem from quite a few days; it only exists when i install a new app and then when i delete it the random reboots will stop; i believe this is a bug in the kernel which is getting triggered by an app.
hope it can get fixed via software update, possibly by lollipop.
ps: never had a problem while on clean format (with no extra apps)
