Hello everyone,
After three months of using my truesmart for tracking my runs, it seems that power/back button became stucked at fully pressed position.
I've tried to RMA the unit to Omate, but they told me that it isn't covered by warranty.
So basically I have to probably repair it myself.
Do you have any tips for what should I be aware of, and how to fix it?
Thanks in advance for any tips

Had to get my one day old Nokia 800 replaced today.
Got everything setup last night and decided to power it off just to give it a restart. The phone would refuse to power back on. No amount of button pushing/reconnecting to the power would make it start up again. No power, nothing..dead.
I managed to get it to restart after performing the three button reset. No problem I thought maybe just a one off. Turned the phone off and put it on charge overnight and this morning the same problem returned.. Could not power on. This time the reset would not work at all, no matter how many times I tried.
Carphone warehouse swapped it over in store today for another handset. Hopefully I'll have more luck with the replacement.
Edit: already seen someone else mention a similar problem on here. Hope there's not a bigger issue.
How do you perform the three button reset? My phone randomly decided to turn off whilst I was driving and now it wont turn back on
Yes I've been in that spot as well. For five minutes the phone wouldn't respond to any power button press. Long, short, whatever. I was already starting to slide into panic mode when it suddenly came back alive on another short press.
It's not the only hardware problem I've encountered, I also have problems with touchscreen and buttons and a loose part inside the device.
I've poked around a bit on here and couldn't find a resolution to this issue, so I decided to make a post about it. I have a Sony Z Ultra GPe; bone stock, never rooted or ROM'd. I've been having sporadic issues with the power button. I can't tell if they're hardware or software related, though. Sometimes the button won't respond at all, but it will allow me to hit power and volume up to reset it. This last time, it won't respond to the power button period. I hit the red reset button, and now it won't turn on at all. Phone has plenty of charge to it.
Any ideas?
I had the same issue and it really bothered me. Decided to call Sony and sent it off for repair. They took a look at it and had to completely replace the phone. The whole process took about 14 business days plus travel time so make sure you have a backup device because you won't see it back for about a month.
Note: Phone was still under warranty and I literally just got it back last week.
Sir,my mobile(Sony Xperia z ultra )power button was always pressed and it was not work but the volume up button was used for unlock the screen when it locked. There is a problem for my mobile automatically turn on when it turn off
Brand new s3.
power button doesn't seem to work. Anyone else?
not a known issue, take it back.
You realise you need to hold the POWER button down for a length of time?
Same problem. I haven't installed any apps or anything not either previously installed on another phone or tablet. Button isn't stuck, just totally unresponsive. Guess a trip to best buy is in my future
Add me to the list. My power button stopped working a few days ago.
I thought mine had died until I realised the batter had gone flat but I'm quite sure that's not the issue here.
Yea happened to me too. Maybe some water spilled. If not you have been abusing the power button. Better get a sleep wake cover like a finite and don't let the battery die. Power button issues went away after a few hours. Trick is to keep insisting the tab that power button still works don't give up.
Also press it in centre don't go wayward while pressing.
If you got issue with power button and got warranty get it changed for a replacement device... DO NOT GO FOR REPAIR SAME DEVICE.
Also if you connect charger and remove and connect trick is to learn how it works tab s3 should turn on without power button required. Just make sure you got that fingerprint unlock also keep screen timeout less if u don't have auto sleepwake cover
Hi, there! Last year I was using a Vibe K5, but I bought another one because of this problem: all of nowhere the Power Button stopped working. I did factory reset, I've bought a new "strap" with the volume and power button on it, changed, perfectly. But, even though I did all of this, the volume kept working, the power button don't.
Today I decided to try another search on Google and save this phone, but again... nothing.
Any help on this?
Hey, don't know if this of help at this point. This is a common problem with this model. I was facing the same issues and even purchased the same volume and power button strip but I soon realised that id got the wrong one. I took it to the repair shop and after fiddling around a little bit worked on The same damaged strip and brought it back to life. It took around 5 mins in total. I'd suggest you take it to a local repair person (although 90% of them will ask for a new strip) and ask them to fix it without you having to get a new one.
Hello, hopefully you can help me to troubleshoot my problem.
I've purchased a Honor 8x (64GB+4 RAM, SJN-L23, International version - no warranty) on May for my wife as mother's day present, the phone has been great until yesterday... she was using it regularly, suddenly the screen was frozen so she turned off the phone, what was weird is that the phone shut down without the classic "Shut down or restart" query, after that the phone won't turn on, the phone had enough charge (around 40%).
As a classic troubleshoot, I tried several combinations of: press power button for 10+ seconds, press volume down+power button 10+ seconds, volume up+power button 10+ seconds, actually the 10+seconds went up to a few minutes pressed with no success.
I left the phone overnight charging, although no light was turned on (we tried with other phones and the charger/cable was working properly) and re-tested with the several-button combinations with no success as well
I tried to contact amazon and they were not able to refund for my item since the purchase was almost three months ago, and I'm not able to send it for service with Huawei since is the "No-warranty" version, this is actually the third Honor (5x, 6x now 8x) "international version No-warranty" the other two still working like a charm.
I refuse to have a $200 brick, so if you have any suggestions please let me know.
Thanks in advance for your help!!!
Greetings from Mexico.
I think Amazon should replace the phone if it was a direct Amazon sale and not Marketplace.
Thanks for your reply, I've contacted Amazon and unfortunately there is no way to return the item according to their policies so I'm stuck with a ~3 months old brick.
Since the phone is almost lost I'm not afraid of give it a shot, I will disassemble it in order to "remove" the battery (unhook the ribbon cable from the PCB), I've recovered some old phones that way hopefully does the trick.
