[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snarkq:
So here is the situation:

My power button is non-functional. This happened before, and I was able to press very firmly on the power button to access a shut down menu and turn off the phone. From this, I was able to enter download mode (pressing volume button while inserting USB) and go back to stock, which surprisingly, fixed my power button. I thought this nightmare was over.

Now, my power button has stopped working again (ICS hacksung 5.0). No matter how much pressing, prodding, whatever, I cannot get the power button to turn off the phone.

I cannot find any adb commands to turn off phone.

"adb reboot download" simply restarts the phone, no download mode. (adb does recognize the device)

If I take out the battery, as soon as I put it in the phone boots up.

If I am pressing any of the volume buttons when I put the battery in, I can access recovery mode (But cannot select anything because power button is still broken)

Any ideas? I doubt my phone is still under warranty (1.4 years old) and I do not have mobile insurance.

Thanks for any help in advance

Depending on what recovery u have (cwm or ?), U can use the capacitive buttons, while in that revovery, to navigate and select the power off option.

Thats a neat tip that I didn't know about, but I can't find any option to power off? Sorry for being retarded but I have given this time I promise

cwm recovery is what I have installed atm
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
Reboot to CWM and Power off option may be at the bottom of the 1st screen that u come to. That is dependent on what version of cwm u have though.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crt60:
Quick boot from the market, you can place a poweroff button directly on the home screen
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b-eock:
The ICS ROMS CWM recovery doesn't have power off choice, so he can't do that.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snarkq:
Unfortunately the quick boot "power off" option simply froze my phone, or restarted it.

I let my battery drain so that I could get a dead phone (that part worked), but when I hold my volume buttons and plug in the USB for download mode it goes to the "battery" screen or (if both are held down) recovery. No download mode.

In recovery "key test" the power button fails to register any key press, but it is not spamming either. This seems like a hardware problem, but I am not sure how it was fixed when I flashed back to stock before if that is the case

I will next try making a download mode jig, I'll let you guys know how it goes...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StaticMatt:
My cousin had the exact same problem less than a month ago.

I see you tried reboot download through adb, have you tried it using the same command, but using android emulator from market? That worked for her phone so worth a shot.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BloodSkin:
its a far shot but odin is now available for use on the phone itself and works on our phones. maybe you can find a kernel thats had the buttons reconfigured. i know darky has one somewhere.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snarkq:
Thanks for this idea, when I use

#su

#reboot download

the phone simply reboots. Same thing happens in "Quick Boot" 's "Bootloader" reboot option. This phone just seems broke as hell.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chappatti:
Firstly, this power button problem is a lot more common than you would think. It is most often a hardware failure - I mean the button mechanism (springs etc. just dies). Google it to see how common.

Your post suggests a clue: If just putting the battery in reboots the phone, then the power button may be stuck in the "in" position.....so it is always getting "pushed". Then anything you do would mean ht epower button is already being pressed. If this is the case, you will never get a software solution ???

Also, I absolutely do not mean to be nasty. But if you search both Q&A and General sections there are previous threads with this button problem. Many other solutions have been posted and it will be difficult to list them together.

Finally, you can actually replace - yes, replace - the button yourself. Google/you tube has it.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patruns:
If you want to use the stock ROM you have to first get it deregistered and then register. If you run VCM7 it does not matter.....
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bubuphonik:
So theres no way to unregistered it?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gallahad2000:

[HTC Inspire 4G] krantus:
Hey all,

Love the site and thanks for the awesome threads. I was searching around and couldn't find something to help me with my problem. So I have an HTC Inspire 4G, obviously, and just installed the ROM called Zombie Cream Sandwich. I've played around with a few ROMs and never changed my radio though. When I flashed it, my microphone stopped working on my phone. Anyone have any ideas of what to do?

I have AT&T by the by. Any help would be great.

thanks.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qunamax:
Hi, i need a little help from arc S owners.

I looking into buying almost brand new white arc s from a friend but i tried the phone a few times and everytime i started scrolling trough menus or some lookingup on market and web (3g) the phone's upper back (around second mic hole) started heating up (just after a few minutes of usage) and stayed warm untill i left it to stand by. Is that normal? Does everyone's s arc S do that? It's like worm, not really hot, but i'm wondering what would happen with heavier usage than just surfing and scrolling around menus?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo95:
It's normal as the antenna and CPU are located there.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qunamax:
Thanks for a fast reply.

So just to confirm, your arc does that too right? More or less just bringing it up from standby makes it worm up?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo95:
Well, it gets hot fast but I can use it for a few mins without it getting warm/hot, depends on what I'm doing, but if I use 3.5G it heats up extremely fast and can get almost untouchable up there if you stream a video/tv show for 45mins.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qunamax:
Ok, now you are scarying me :) and sorry if i'm bugging you i just want to make sure before i buy it, it's quite a sum form my standards so i'm cautious.

I don't think i'll be streaming stuff off net a lot and that long, but what about 3d gaming, watching movies from sd card?

Does the heat interfere with daily usage?

Other phones do that to right? Is it that arc is so slim so its more obvious?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo95:
Haha, you can still hold it then, it's just hot and still works perfect and I have my Arc for almost 6 months now. But for that you really have to download a lot.

In games it gets hot, but not too hot, depends on how CPU intensive it is.

Playing movies is no problem.

Phones of friends get hot, too and my X10 did the same.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qunamax:
Ok thanks mate! Just one more, how the battery life on stock?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luhccas-X10:
Two days of average use and one day with heavy.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dp94:
You should buy the Xperia Arc S, I've also bought it a month ago and there are no problems.

The heat doesn't interfere your daily usage and other phones like the SGS2 also do that (not that much, but it's unimportant, because Arc S is also that fast and the heat isn't annoying at all).

And the battery life is quite good, I'm only charging every 24 hours.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qunamax:
Thanks, i got the white arc s and i love it! :-)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Markus-SonyXperiaSupport:
It's perfectly normal that a phone generates some heat when being used. The thinner/smaller phone the warmer it will probably get since the heat got less space to spread out on.

The phone should however not get so warm that you cannot hold it in your hand or not use it.

When browsing (WiFi), charging, in long calls, playing games etc. it's normal that the temp. will rise.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bern4d1:
will the heat broke the camera hardware someday as it placed at the heating part??
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo95:
Mine is almost 7 months old and it was untouchable hot 2 times (charging error, reboot fixed it) and gets warm/hot often, but the cam works fine :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redprince:
My arc s also get heat so fast with 3g on... and its untouchable there when it gets hot! i think it will boil water if i put it there :p
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Longch:
My arcs

My just hot at the top right conner when playing games or charging
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greywolve:
I agree to the last post ... but it depends on the used ROM as well. For example: When I use FXP CM10 it's not as hot as when I use LXP CM10.2 ... But even when it's warm/hot it is still stable and usable ... I had only one reboot when I used the phone while I connected it to the charger
[Galaxy S II General] rwj5279955:
I was reading a post in Phandroid last night about Verizon not including Google Wallet for it's version of the Galaxy Nexus, for Verizon's partnership with ISIS, and spare batteries not supporting NFC (third party batteries that is) because the NFC chip is built in to the battery itself.

I don't know if this was covered here already, bit I have read countless posts from folks wanting to enable NFC on their Galaxy S2.

Hopefully this will help someone get to the bottom of hacking it into our GS2's
[Galaxy S II General] The-Kevster:
The battery contains the NFC aerial. We have a space for the NFC chip but its missing.

I just played with the brightness of my Arc and noticed that the autobrightness was deactivated afterwards.

I downloaded a lot of widgets to set it back to auto, but it didn't work with a lot of them.

Then I finally found "widgetsoid" and that finally worked to set it back to auto.

So if anyone else has the same problem, here you have the right widget and don't have to spend time on finding the right app or widget.

Hope that helps you guys, because I found it beeing very annoying.

Regards,

Flo
[Xperia Arc General] doomed151:
In SE's Xperia line of phones, auto-brightness is ALWAYS enabled, no matter what you do (unless you run a non-stock custom ROM).

Try this, put the brightness slider around the 40% mark, shine a light on the sensor, if there's enough light, it will go to full brightness in no time. The same goes conversely.
[Xperia Arc General] Luhccas-X10:
And how to disable without use third part apps?
[Xperia Arc General] squalldua:
have anybody tried this app ? is it good ?

i read bad reviews like :

- unable to uninstall

- lag

- flood the widget list with so many stuff

etc etc

but it just reviews, so it might not be true, i don't know... :confused:
[Xperia Arc General] Flo95:
@ doomed and Lucas:

I just put the slider to max and then back down and it didn't work untill I set it to auto again with the app I mentioned in first post.
[Xperia Arc General] kradcliffe:
Widgetsoid is a fantastic program and works 100% with the Arc / Arc S

The auto brightness feature does work to a point, but you can also toggle 3 different percentages to suit where you are. I have mine set at 30%, 70% and 100%. You can also have a slider if you wish.

No problems at all with the app, although it's a bit complex to set up first time you won't be able to live without it in the end. Loads of options and configurations to keep anyone happy!

Keith
[Xperia Arc General] doomed151:
Auto brightness is disabled at the minimum and maximum point, only in the middle.
[Xperia Arc General] Flo95:
Ah, didn't know that.

In the middle it just worked a bit if even

After setting it back with the app I got it working again and I hope to have the stock SE setting back now.

I'm happy.

For people who get the same strange bug this might be usefull.
[Xperia Arc General] J_B204:
+1 for widgetsoid - I'm a long time user with my current Arc and previous HTC Desires and Hero phones.

As has already been said, its a bit complicated to set up initially but allows great functionality in a single widget.

Well worth a try.
[Xperia Arc General] squalldua:
i've been playing with it for a day now.

haven't check the auto-brightness feature yet, i downloaded this app at 6pm, so its already dark here. i've taken the arc on the street at night, and under room lighting, so far i think its always stay at 30% brightness. i'll see if this feature works under direct sunlight :cool:

there's a widget to view cpu temp and storage (rom,sd,ram) status now :)

just wondering, is there a way to make the storage status more accurate.

most the time, the ram status doesn't show the latest status. maybe there's a setting to make it check the ram status more uptodate :confused:
[Xperia Arc General] squalldua:
i have no idea about this. please explain it for me :o
[Xperia Arc General] tinyXperia:
The only thing I hate about widgetsoid is that you can't backup your setup, so if you do a Nandroid restore, you'll have to set up each widget again. I had about 8 switches, and then you have to choose a function, colour, opacity. Really sucks.

First of all naughty naughty please do not post questions in the development forum. I moved it over to Q&A :)

Ok now thats over with follow *THIS* guide to get fastboot drivers set up on your pc. Some users spend hours trying to figure it out (myself included the first time) and that guide is detailed. Install the pdanet program on your comp to get the needed drivers then boot your phone into fastboot mode and connect to your pc via usb cable. If it doesnt install the automatically then you can do it manually via the Device Manager.

Once the drivers are installed open up a command prompt and goto the folder you put the fastboot.exe file in. Type fastboot devices and it should return a number which means your phone is recognised.

Next goto *THIS* thread and follow the instructions to fastboot the Stock images back to your device and restore your phone.

Once everything is back and working READ every instruction thoroughly before doing anything in future :) Luckily this phone is next to impossible to brick :D

I have windows 7 too so it will work its just a pain to get them on.

Did you install the pdanet drivers to your pc? Did you update the drivers in the Device Manager? Please list your exact procedure you followed and where you are getting stuck.

still no luck

i tried installing the pdanet program but it doesnt detect the phone as it doesnt boot up?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Why are you trying to boot up the phone if you know it doesnt boot?

You need to do everything through the fastboot screen. Hold Volume Up and Volume Down buttons while pressing the power button until the big green Android icon appears and it will say fastboot on the screen.

Have your Device Manager open (from settings on your pc) so that you can dee the item pop up in the list that you need to update the driver for.

PdaNet drivers are the best ones that work for fastboot.

Mark.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jeezy85:
when i go into fastboot mode.. then go to device manager the only thing i can see with a explanation mark is android 1.0.....

theres no samsung device or nothing
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Yes thats the item you need to update the driver for.

Make sure you have installed the samsung drivers (and maybe pdanet drivers if you want to be safe) on your pc first. Then double click on the Android 1.0 item and then select Driver, Update Driver. Click Browse My Computer and then Let me pick from a list.

It should give you a few options. If you see it then select Android Adb Device but if not try one odf the samsung adb interface drivers.
