[Q] Start android without power button!? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Good day guys,
last week i noticed that i´ve got two chinese htc one m7´s in my house.
Now i want to get them running so i can use it as home media center for
my tv or audio boxes.
But if it weren´t as easy as it is, both of them got a broken power button,
so i have only a volume down and volume up button left.
So, how to start them without a power button?
Is it possible to give them some boot signals over usb connection or so?
Please help me guys! :crying:

Hi,
Go to lockscreen, and press:
1 time home button
2 times back button
1 time home button
1 time back button
2 times home button
1 time back button
you get to service menu. Go to 'Service Tests', and 'Earphone'. Volume Up, and see if You can hear something. If not, theres a hardware issue - You must go to service.
EDIT: Or try to flash phone in SEUS
Is not working, probably a hardware problem.
Thank you anyway

X10 became "zombie" after manual update

Hi All,
I come from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1105745
I have followed instructions and installed the CWM-recovery-3.2.0.0-r3-x10mini-Edify in my X10 mini (non-pro) by manually copying system/bin/* and system/xbin/* files (overwriting) to my /system (remounted as rw).
After that, I turned off the device and then turned it on (simple powercycle). After turning on I was repeatedly pressing the "back" button (and not the volume down as done for other devices). The amazing result is that phone booted up apparently in a normal way, except that no hard button is working! I am talking about power button and the menu button.
I have realized that I don't have the star screwdriver at hand, and tomorrow I am leaving for a 1 week trip. When you talk about bad timing
I am of course waiting for battery to die...but meanwhile, can you help me with this (relatively) big problem for me?
Thanks!
If I attach the USB cable I can see it's still alive, and also alarms are ringing as usual! How weird that buttons don't work..has somebody ever experienced this? Can't find same cases online..

[Q] Xperia S Problems

Hi, I recieved a new update for my Xperia S today so I started updating it. However, My laptop went to sleep mode while updating and the update stopped due to loss of internet connection and now my Phone won't turn on. Help!
try volume up (hold it) and press the power button(hold)
so hold both volume up+ power
you should get one vibrate (keep holding) followed by three vibrates.
try powering after that

Hold your volume down button while connecting USB cable and use PC Companion to restore.

Contact Pictures
Hi!
After searching extensively on xda and talk.sonymobile, I still wasn't able to find a solution to my problem. So I'm posting my problem here.
I own an Xperia S (obviously ); Build No.: 6.0.A.3.75.
Can anyone tell me how to set the Facebook photo of a contact as the default photo for that contact?
Cause I had an Xperia arc earlier and all I had to do was simply go to contact>edit>scroll down to the facebook data>tap on the photo and select it as the contact photo.
This seems impossible with the SXS as I've tried syncing and re-syncing the fb, google contacts & twitter contacts a hundred times. I can only tap on the gmail/google contact data for the contact and select it as the default photo but not on the fb data. i.e. the fb picture.
please help me out!
Thanks.

Phone clicking back button

First of all try to see any app you have downloaded which is suspicious because an unwanted app can trick with your device if downloaded from untrusted sources
If not then,try formatting the device once
If this also doesn't help then only look for flashing stock rom again
Hope this helps

My girlfried had the exact same issue with her S6, clicking the back button repeatedly by itself, sometimes several times a second.
Then it could work fine for anything from a few minutes to a day or two.
From what i was able to dig up at the time, it appears that there is a issue with the ribbon cable that connects the soft buttons (among other things shared through the same cable) to the motherboard, apperantly signal noise might be introduced which will make the phone think the button was pressed.
Since the phone was still under warranty we sent it back, and from what i could tell from the repair description after she got it back it appeared that they had replaced the circuitboard that holds the soft buttons and other stuff and its cable.
Her phone has worked fine for almost two years so far.

Question Screen dead how to power on and know the device is on? Need to wipe it.

Hi! Suddenly the screen on my new A52s is totally dead.
So it's gonna need repair or replace under warranty.
Before I send it in I need to wipe it using the Android find device service.
Problem is it cannot find the A52s. And I don't know if it's turned on or off since the screen is broken.
How do I turn it on and know it's on?
Will the find service find it even if it's turned on but not logged in, which probably will be the case if I manage to boot it.
The device is all stock.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Yes. And I can see a weak flickering on screen but not so I can see icons / text.
I have also tried connecting it via USB to my pc and both phone and pc makes a plong noise.
But the phone is not shown in Windows explorer.
