My home button stopped working after I used the phone in the rain a bit... Has anyone had any success in taking this apart to clean it? I've got button saviour running to replace it at the moment, which is OK, but not great.
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,
The home button on my sgs2 (I9100) randomly stopped working on a night out. It doesn't respond to any click (short, long, etc.). I am currently using an app to replace the home button but I'm unable to take screenshots or bring up my task manager now. My touchbuttons next to the home button still work perfectly. I have restored my phone to factory settings without any no result. My phone is not rooted btw.
I'm thinking about buying a new home button flex cable to try and fix it but I'm not sure whether that will fix my problem because the touchbuttons are still working. Maybe just the home button on the flex cable is broken so replacing it would fix my home button.
Any help or insights on the matter will be highly appreciated.

I have a strange issue with the home button not working.
Originally I changed the front camera, rear camera, and mid frame.
I turned it on, and I found that the home button does not work, but the soft buttons did.
I changed the charge port daughterboard, and put in a new home button.
However, the home button still does not work. Everything else does.
Anyone have any ideas if I damaged the motherboard?
How many of you guys have a power button issue?
When pressing power to turn off screen it often double-presses.
For me that means often (but not always, maybe 50/50)
When I press power to turn off screen:
- It instantly goes to lock-screen (the same as if i manually pressed power twice. Once to turn off, once to turn back on), then I have to try again to turn off screen.
- Camera app opens (if double-press-power to open camera setting is activated). This one is most frustrating as I love the shortcut to open camera, but now camera often pops up when I just want to turn off screen.
One user mentioned this power button issue only exists in custom roms, and when they switch back to MIUI it works fine.
To me it sounds like a hardware issue though, but who knows. If it's a software issue I'm hoping somewhere out there knows a fix.
Has anyone had this issue on custom rom, then switched back to MIUI and it was fixed? Or have you switched back to MIUI and the problem still existed?
If it's a hardware issue then I just have to put up with it.
If it's a software issue... I really want to stay on custom roms... but eventually it's going to make me snap and go back to MIUI
This problem exists for me on Mido/Snapdragon with AOSPA and LineageOS. Haven't yet switched back to MIUI to see if it fixes the problem, but I'll give it a try when I find the time.

Same here. But in my case, it's when I'm holding the power button to bring up the power menu, it would just randomly turn the screen off and on in split seconds. And I'm using unofficial Resurrection Remix Nougat v5.8.5.
I suggest you use another way to turn off the screen, like double tapping the home button. I always double tap the home button to turn off the screen to conserve the power button, but this feature depends on the ROM you're using.

I don't want to jinx it, but I may have solved the power button issue moments ago!
I'm on AEX 4.5 and been having this issue ever since flashing Custom ROMs. Well, what I did now was press the power button a little harder and longer than usual and it turned off the screen correctly - didn't immediately turn back on automatically as usual.
And ever since doing that, the power button has been working as normal.

However, I've got another problem now. Even though pressing the power button now works correctly - turns the screen off, holding the power button has got issues. When I hold the power button to bring the power menu up, it treats it as a double press and camera opens.
For now, I've resorted to using the "Reboot" Quick Settings tile for rebooting (however, power off will be an issue).

Edit: Looks like I did jinx it. Minutes later, the issue is back. Power button is back to being useless.
i had it too...i went to service center and got it replaced. it works fine now so i guess it is a hardware issue

You just got the button replaced? I wonder how hard that is to do myself hmm. First need to find a replacement part
Experiencing the same issue..I guess it is a hardware issue as I didn't get this problem earlier but now it is there on the same custom ROM in which it was working fine earlier.

I'm too facing this issue. I noticed this issue when I was on official lineage OS 15.1 build. Now I'm running latest MIUI 9 stake build and guess what the problem still persists. I guess it's a hardware issue but who knows. But it happens rarely. I mean 1 time after every 10 clicks. Also my volume down bhuton is behaving strangely. Whenever I click it one time, volume goes down by 2 or 3 steps. Happens 2 times in 10 clicks
maybe redmi note 4 has this hardware issue. 1.5 years later and now the buttons have became too mushy.

can we get it repaired free of cost at mi service centre, if its in warranty
I'm on lineage os 19.1 with ngk kernel on poco f1, I replaced the power button (the part with the flat cable) and the back cover since the issue was persisting, but the issue persists also now so I think it is a software issue, I reported the bug but who knows if devs will fix it
