Hello guys, my Desire X is acting very strange, the screen suddently changed the colors and went on and off for 3 seconds, and after that everything was ok. I decided to turn it off and I did, but now I can't turn it on ... I tried a factory reset. i.e. remove and replace the battery, hold down the volume button and then press the power button, but didn't work.
Still when I plug it in my computer, the led turns on but I can't access the phone using the computer since it doesn't turn on.
I don't think the power button is broken because it was working just fine before this. Does anybody know what's the solution for my problem here? Thanx!
Did you flash anyhing? Seems like an hboot brick to me...:what:

My Power button quit working yesterday. I am trying to remap my volume button to wake the screen, and be the new power button. I can't seem to get it to work. I am rooted and I am using root explorer to edit the text.
I have found a number of apps that will wake my screen and some of them work okay, but I have to have lock screen enabled because of my corporate email, and once the screen locks, the apps don't work.
Also, I am worried that if my phone ever get's powered down (runs out of battery), I don't know how I would turn it back on.
Any advice???

I need a physical button. I'm rooted on Gingerbread and I want to update to ics but I can't figure out how to fastboot without a physical power button
There's a few apps in the store like 'quickboot' that'll allow you to boot into fastboot if rooted. Just remember for menus like recovery, you're likely to be stuck once you need to use the power button to select an option

Send it to service to get it repaired. It's pretty cheap for repairing a single button.
i was browsing and suddenly my screen stopped responding to touch input
now i can't even turn off the phone (the back, home and menu buttons work normally)
i'm hoping it's just frozen for some reason
i still have a lot of battery left so what can i do to restart it instead of just wait for it to run flat?
I think its vol up + power until it vibrates. Something like this

I want to turn off my power button when my screen is off, since my phone keeps restarting itself when I have it in my pocket.
I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389946 and tried to follow it. I couldn't find a sec_key.kl file, but there's a bunch of files such as AVRCP.kl, generic.kl, gpio-keys.kl, qwerty.kl and sii9234_rcp.kl . Reading them, I figured that I should modify gpio-keys.kl, as it contains the line ≫key 116 POWER WAKE≪. I tried removing WAKE and rebooting my device, but nothing is changed: my power button still turns the screen on.
Any ideas on how to solve this? I'm running 4.1.2, VikingWay v. 2.3 rom, which is a modified touchwiz rom (which I'm sure haven't changed the keys in any way).
Even if you disable the wake function, longpressing it will turn the device off, there's not a way to change that. It works from recovery, even without a ROM, even when the phone freezes completely, so it's hardwired
so there is no chance? (mod or something else)
if it's really hard-wired than it's a feature
I don't think your phone is rebooting because your pressing the power button.
Its probably some software issue by rom kernel or smtn u installed

Exactly.
Are you on a custom kernel if so try flashing it again, or maybe you are oc/uv. If nothing works flash the rom again.

it's definitly not the custom rom!
if my phone is in a handybag i have no problem,
but when i change the back case und put it in a handybag i have reboots... (back case is metallic. so the phone is larger and there is less space left in the bag --> pushing the power button)
it could be the long pressing power button in the lockscreen, which opens a windows with shutdown, reboot,...

Check what eMMC chip you have, then Flash a kernel with the sudden death fix if you are not safe. I remember someone said their phone was rebooting occasionally before it died. You may not have the same problem but it is better to be safe.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
the emmc check app says "NO Sane chip", eMMC chip 10/2012
so what is this sudden death fix?
i think the problem is, that the metallic back case makes the phone larger and so the power button would be pressed when it's in my handybag..
hello greetings, was trying to install clean rom 2.5 and for some reason froze in the aroma installer option "status bar mode". This is the second attempt, the problem is that does not shut down or rebooted just stays on that screen and does nothing and when I hold down the power button the soft keys start to blink but nothing happen . On the first attempt I restart the phone right through adb because I don't know what I do but adb could see my phone but now adb don't want to see it. It's been an hour trying and I get nothing ....
Try rebooting into recovery again by holding the buttons but do it under a bright light. It's weird but it works

Yeah I can vouch for the bright light thing. Hold your phone close to a light bulb and hold down power. It will reboot.
I have been able to do hard resets on droids before. This droid HTC DNA I cannot get it to HARD reset at all. Ive read a few sites, even information on HTC's website, youtube videos.
holding vol down and power does nothing but boot the phone normally and then prompts for a (forgotten') pin lock screen
Does anyone know the for sure how to do a hard reset on DROID DNA? the factory reset menu never comes on. the vol up and down keys work fine.
Hold down power. The buttons should blink. This will hard reboot the device. Once it shuts off, hold down volume also. This should send you to the hboot screen where factory reset option is available.
Be sure not to hold down volume - until the phone hard reboots.

I hold down power it gives me the 3 seconds countdown until restart, screen goes black after 3 seconds but its still booted never restarted. (im guessing this phone has fastboot enabled and I cannot disable it because pin lock is on)
Odd, I have fast boot enabled on Viper and did what I mentioned with no issues.
Edit: are you still holding power down after screen shuts off and then pressing vol down also?

Can you do adb reboot bootloader?
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
just press and hold volume down and power for ten seconds or until it boots into hboot and if you are going straight to fastboot unplug from a usb cable and select bootloader
