The power button is not responding: Samsung Note 5 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys
Every now and then, when i press the power button it doesn't respond unless i long press it. Sometimes it takes 10 seconds or even longer, then it works normally for a short while, then it doesn't reapond again.
Restarting or force restarting doesn't fix it.
""*This problem is not exclusive to Note 5, many devices do the same and it's not a hardware issue *""
Anyone has a solution to that?

It's not a hardware issue at all ?

Reflash stock firmware or use 4 files firmware repair, search for your
region .

I did that.. But 1 file Rom.. Nothing changed

Curious, how do you know that this is not a hardware issue? My Note 5 doesn't do this, never experienced this on any of my Android devices.

Screen flickering when i wake up the phone...

Hello, every time i when i press the power nor sleep/wake button the screen is flickering with gray and white lines a half a second before i see the lockscreen. I have just started to notice this lately. i am running everything stock (xwki8-2.3.5) and i have downgraded and upgraded but nothing is working. Is there any fix to this or should i return the phone?
Plzz help me, this is quite annoying for mee!!
Anyone????????????????
Hello????? Anyone???????????

			
				
if you are taking about the lines that apears in 0.003 sec when you try to wakeup your phone after it goes sleep , disable all crt annimations or just flash another rom
it is normal in some roms and you cant even notice it apears in only 2 mili seconds or may be micro seconds otherwise here is what you shuold do
if you are in waranty you may replace your phone because i think it will be hardware related , but if you cant , your last hope is to root it and flash custom rom to see if the problem solved
some times problems were though to be hardware problem but rooting and changin the rom solved some issues ,
ex: my phone sound was soooo bad , when i frist bought it , and i thought that my speaker is damaged but after flashing agood rom the problem gone
but it is better to go to samsung center if you can replace it , better to get entire new phone then also root it

[Q] Is my Note hard bricked or not?

Before anyone comes in and tells me I haven't looked and there's a million threads, I've looked at most of them and none of them have my exact problem.
Anyways.
I have a Galaxy Note and I was running PACman v18, and was running just fine until today, minus some random reboots which are completely normal for me. Today it froze and I was expecting it just to reboot but instead the screen goes blank and then my phone starts vibrating every few seconds and doesn't turn on or respond to anything. I pulled the battery and put it back in and I got both of the Samsung screens successfully before it turned off and started vibrating intermittently. Every 4 seconds or so, there would be a short vibrate that felt cut off. Naturally I tried going into download mode but that didn't work. Holding down the volume down provided me with vibrations every 2 seconds although nothing else happened when I pressed any of the other buttons. I then read to hold down the volume down button and insert my battery in, which I did, and it came up, but about 10 seconds later it just dies. Yes my battery is charged completely. So my question is, am I hard bricked? It doesn't sound like it in some ways but other ways it does so I am unsure which is why I came to you guys. Could I use a jig and it work?
Thanks a ton guys in advance.
Hard brick....no
The device acts like it has the stuck power button issue.
A very common problem for us, and it obviously won't allow access to anything.
Before I go any further with other possible issues, I'll relay a bit of info from a thread I saw yesterday with similar problems.
User had the same symptoms, and took a large pink eraser from one of his kids school supplies.
He figured the power button was it, so he gently tapped the power button housing a few times, and presto...working again.
Since no changes were made to the device, the sticky button is looking more plausible.
Of course, if you try it ...be gentle, but it may do the trick.

Thanks. Do you know what section it was on so I can look for it, or better yet, the link?
Can't recall.....I was browsing in the GS3 section and stumbled across several posts.
It seems we aren't the only ones with button issues using Samsung products.
General search for stuck power button issues.
Most say to remove the back of the phone to pop the button back out, and to clean it .....but yikes ....be very careful and read plenty if attempting that.
Sorry ...I don't have more info than that..
Let me browse here, and see if I can find a bit more info on the subject ...g

Power button is stuck

Hey guys
I need your help please with my s3. The power button is stuck, and I can't put the battery inside cause it reboots, reboots all the time and never switch on due to the fact that the button is stuck. Ive tried to take my phone to pieces, but a screw is stuck too !!! I put away the power button but nothing changed.
First, I'd like to turn on my phone, is there any ways to do that? For instance, to disable the power button, or something else I don't know. I just wanna get my pics back. And if someone knows how to resolve this problem with this d*mn button, tell me.
Thank you
nobody can help you from forum ,all we can do is to give you hints , anyway ,did you press to strong on it ? In case of that try to flip around the button (not hard ) ,and don't laugh ,worked for me . If that doesn't work ,i suggest to repair by your own if you know how ,if not ,then service.

Okay, thank you for your answer.
I will see how can I fix it.

Immediate Shutoff

I'm not too sure what is happening here, but my phone has been acting all month. Sometimes it randomly shuts off on it own, afterwards i would just restart the phone, and it would work fine. Today it did the same thing, but now my phone won't reboot. it'll power up for about 2 seconds, and immediately shut off. For the most of the part Im thinking it might be a software issue, not my battery. Im running a Phoenix Rom from another galaxy s4 carrier with a patch to work with Verizon models. At this point I can't doing anything with my phone (enter recovery or download mode). Any help would be greatly appreciated..

Chris -
The only time my S4 did that was when the battery was totally depleted. I suggest plugging it in and charging for a couple of hours and then reboot. If that still doesn't work - it might be time to replace it. good luck!
I have read several posts where people were having similar issues and it ended up being a bad power switch.
You might check that out.

Samsung Galaxy S8+ stuck on "Optimizing app 97 of 97." after newest upgrade.

Samsung Galaxy S8+ stuck on "Optimizing app 97 of 97." after newest upgrade.
Hi people.
My phone started installing the upgrade overnight, and did not boot because it got stuck somehow. So the alarm didn't wake me up, and boss was disappointed
Is it a faulty app causing this? If it is the last app, then does it mean that it is the last app I installed on the phone? It has probably been stuck for around 6 hours now.
I searched around but cannot find a solution.

I just turned off the phone with the shutdown proceedure, which is volume down and power button for 7 sec. Then turn it back on and luckily it just booted all the way up.

For myself, the Optimizing of apps had rarely ever happened on its own and I don't recall the last time it's happened on its own either.
The only time that I ever experienced this is when/if I manually wipe the Dalvik Cache/ART via TWRP.
App Optimization is typical behavior for Firmware and some Apps that are Odexed (basically temporary files for them). Some members prefer to use Firmware/Apps that are Deodexed. This means that the Firmware/App doesn't look to an Odex file for Optimization that, in turn, doesn't require an Optimization process.
There's more to it but, this is just for you to have some basic information regarding the Optimization process that you had experienced.
It's great to see that your up and running and I wish you the best of luck!
