power button problems/Hardware failure?

so i think i got my phone around october of 2012 and i recently hate it! i loved it..i dropped and broke my first one..clumsy me..but it was innevitable..it worked great..then it was stolen :P got a replacement..phone i have now..i rooted it was careful about device specific blah blah and i had already fixed a hard brick :P im not stupid...but then my phone started acting super weird..the screen shut down when it tried working it would be dark green and fuzzy...a weekend later i pulled the sim and out it back in.. (for no reason) .. and my screen worked but my power button didnt work any more my screen wont stay asleep and my power menu continually pops up and it reboots (never completely)...like the power button would be jammed...any help idk if i can still get the root off and use triangle away cause my phone doesnt hardly stay working and when in C.W.M it selects random options usually reboot phone (first option)...is my warranty void will they replace my phone again even rooted...it is a hardware not software failure?

btw

i loved my galaxy s3 please help me love it again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tpayne2345:
I've had this problem as well but haven't found a solution yet, I'm going to try smashing it on a table like the above video suggests and see what happens

the weirdest part for me is when I odin back to stock the button works perfectly, like brand new, and then I clean flash any rom (4.2.x & 4.3) and it gradually starts messing up again, usually takes about 4-5 days for it to get to the point where I can't even boot to recovery/download.. luckily using the stock samsung cable allows me to enter and stay in download mode to odin back to stock.. rinse and repeat
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] redwings8888:
LoL yeah here's the fix "smash your phone on the ground, but wait, if it doesn't work just do it harder"

That's the best thing I have ever seen.....

This has happened to me twice now.....I just take the button off and make a widget on my homescreen to lock the phone.... LoL LoL LoL this advice is too funny

"yeah dog just run over your phone wit a forklift, problems will be solved yo."

Thank you so much SlimSnoopOS for posting that video link. Worked perfectly.

I made a backup using noogie method and i tried to restore it today... i created the noogie sd card and booted my NST with the sdcard.. it displayed Rooted forever.. i connected the NST to my pc and deleted all partitions on minitool partition manager... then i write my backedup img via roadkil's disk image... it said don (but i think it was on 99%).. i disconnected the NST from my pc, removed the sdcard and rebooted... it cannot boot now.. it says Install failed with an exclamation mark...

I have retried the restore method but now i can't delete all partitions.. it seems that the boot partition can't be deleted anymore and i can't write the backup img via roadkil' disk image; it says "cannot write to sector..."

edit: just read this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2104145

the img is 270mb.. the backup i made initially is only 77mb.. maybe my original backup was not complete? I will try restore with the rom provided
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeanPlunk:
So I sold an unopened, sealed Nexus 5 to someone last night and he's having a problem activating the device.

Here is his description of what happened:

"I popped in the SIM card, the loading proceeded as normally. It said it was activating and then a box popped up saying that "android is upgrading system files" or something like that. It restarted and went back to the language selection screen. I pressed English, next and then it went to the connect to wifi screen, froze and then restarted before I could even connect. Now it just loads on the boot"

I had him boot into recovery and do a factory reset, but the result is the same. I had him do a 2nd factory reset just be sure, but again, same result.

My thought is the system upgrade didn't happen correctly and not is corrupted.

What's the best course of action? Can I use the WugFresh toolkit to flash stock and unroot, or would I have to do it through ADB since the phone can't boot into the system?

I don't want to leave the buyer hanging, he seems like a nice guy, but I'm just not sure how to proceed?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Synyster06Gates:
Use ADB and flash the factory image for him.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeanPlunk:
That's what I figured. I'm not super familiar with ADB but can figure it out I'm sure.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] switchfo0t:
Easy walkthrough:

1) Install ADB drivers (You can do it with WUG Toolkit).

2) Reboot your device in Fastboot mode (Hold up/down volume and power)

3) Download the latest HAMMERHEAD image from google website.

4) Download the Google SDK (not needed, but you will need Fastboot.exe, so I would recommend downloading the whole thing)

5) Unzip the image (.tar or .tgz I think) to the location where Fastboot.exe is (all the files should be in the same directory, usually platform-tools)

6) Double-click on the flash-all.bat file from the unzipped .tar or .tgz folder, should install stock image on your phone (note that you might need the latest version of Java installed on your computer)

And you're done.

Hope it helped!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaybot:
Hello, I am the buyer of this Nexus device. I was able to successfully do these steps above, and reload the stock image for the Nexus 5. However, I am still running into issues.

WITH SIM:

I was able to get to the home screen after the initial setup, sent a few test text messages to my Google Voice number successfully, and browse on Chrome for a little bit before the device froze and restarted. After it restarted, I let it load up again, tried setting up my Google account on the device, then it froze again. All of the freezing happens within 3-5 minutes of using the phone.

So I decided to go into the bootloader, and do a factory wipe/cache wipe, and proceed without having the sim card in. I was able to get to the wifi selection screen, select my router, but as soon as the keyboard was suppose to pop up, the device froze and restarted. I am now just stuck on the welcome screen.

Any ideas now?

Update: So I'm not sure what happened, but I ended up locking the device through Wug's Nexus Toolkit, inserted my sim card, and proceeded to set up the phone normally. So far everything has been working perfectly fine. I can receive/send texts, make and receive calls, and do normal functions with the phone without it locking up and restarting. Fingers crossed it'll stay like this.

Any idea on why this would've happened in the first place with the device?

---------- Post added at 01:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 AM ----------

Update 2: Well, I noticed that it will randomly reboot every half hour or so it seems. It's kind of random, but I'm not sure what else could be causing these random reboots. The phone itself is working fine, but I just started experiencing random restarts.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neomorphix:
Are you still on the stock rom or custom?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaybot:
Stock. I did the steps above and flashed the stock rom that I downloaded from Google's website.

---------- Post added at 01:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:48 AM ----------

It was working fine earlier. I put it on the charger and got it to about 50%, used it for a little bit, then bam. It froze, and restarted all over again. I can use the phone maybe 5 - 10 minutes before it starts to recharge. Sometimes It'll automatically reboot after even unlocking the device.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neomorphix:
I would do another factory reset and use it for a bit without any additional apps installed. If you are fully stock and locked with this happening I would think about possibly doing an RMA. Also just and FYI make sure you have the seller of your phone call and transfer the warrenty to you so if an RMA is needed you have the ability to do so.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaybot:
I will try factory and cache wipe again, and see if that does anything with no apps or anything else installed, and go from there.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neomorphix:
Sorry its happening. With everything stock and no third party apps or mods there to cause it at least to me things start looking like something bigger might be wrong here.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaybot:
I think so too. No go after another factory wipe/cache wipe. It reboots automatically after awhile. I haven't had this kind of issue before, so I'm not sure what is causing it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neomorphix:
Yeah im kindof at a loss here as well. I have had those issues before but they have always been due to something I have added thats messing things up. I am interested to see if anyone else has any ideas.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaybot:
I figured it would be a sim card issue since it was working for awhile without the sim, but I did the factory/cache thing without the sim card, signed on via wifi, but it still doesn't work. So I am seeing what my options are from here. Thanks for all the tips everyone.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neomorphix:
For some reason I wasnt thinking of this earlier. Can you capture a logcat from the device after a reboot and post that here. Should help track down the problem.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaybot:
I was going to try and do that earlier. I will try and do that now, but I can't even get past the bootscreen animation at this point. The 4 dots will do the animation, freeze, and just reboot.

I'll keep trying. But, I really think this is just a defective one. I had a white Nexus 5 a few weeks ago and didn't have any of these issues :crying:

Edit: My last restart the phone kept vibrating like crazy before restarting.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neomorphix:
Ok. This just sucks. But as with any mass produced product there is bound to be the ocasional issue.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theesotericone:
Honestly it sounds like it's hardware related and time for RMA. OP If you do have ADB set up grab the last_kmsg right after the reboot.

adb pull /proc/last_kmsg

I doubt it will show any kernel panic but it's worth a shot.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neomorphix:
From the sound of it he is now not even getting far enough to be able to pull it. I also think RMA is the best option here.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theesotericone:
Just saw that. OP by your earlier symptoms I rules out a stuck power button. With the new info I'd look into it further. If the phone is just looping over and over it could be a stuck power button, Mash the power button repeatedly for a minute. Then try and reboot. A few other people have had this on the N5 already and it's a notorious issue on some Samsung phones.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeanPlunk:
If it comes to that, how do I go about transferring the warranty over?

I feel really bad, I just don't get it. I bought two of them, the other buyer hasn't had any problems. Both brand new, sealed, in the box. Go figure.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neomorphix:
You can do the transfer by calling Google play support. 855-836-3987
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SeanPlunk:
Awesome, thanks for the info :good:
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smartjain:
Hi Guys,

Is there any setting which I am missing, whenever I click on the phone icon. I am always presented with the dialer and then I have to scroll to call logs. Is there some setting where in I am always presented call logs (as in nexus4) and then i scroll to dialer?

Thanks again
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trickster2369:
When in the dialer, hit menu, and edit tabs.

Thanks Devs. From my VZW G2.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smartjain:
That is editing the tabs but still the dialer opens by default. Is there any way we can change it to call logs?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smartjain:
So it cannot be changed
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] War-Rasta:
I don't think it can. Your best bet would be to use a different dialer.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] War-Rasta:
I just ran into a solution for this. It's not available as an option on the dialer but it is available as a setting on the G2 TweaksBox module for the Xposed framework. I installed it and enabled that option and it's working fine for me.

Thank you very much, I've completed setup with what you said.

But it's too bad PR 4.0. No PIA, not HALO, wrote as 4.2 on 4.4.

I removed using a two minutes. Developers please "ROM-gapps" and add KERNEL.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anthropostar:
If you took a minute to look at the roms discription (Beerbongs last posts in his thread) you could have saved yourself the time.

Its commonly known (if you follow PA's development atleast) that Paranoid Android-devs are rewriting their features.

The download now is almost pure AOSP.

Next up for testing are : Hybrid engine and Immersive mode (new). Pie and halo will probably have to wait a little longer.

Hello! I am new to the forums and the whole android bussiness, so I apologize in advance for anything I've done wrong :P I am looking to root my Toshiba AT300-SE, which runs on Android 4.1.1. I would prefer a "safe" root process, as I want it to be rooted only to play some apps and not actually changing the software of the device. Thanks in advance!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikestrong19:
I am having issues flashing a custom ROM to my d2vzw. I originally followed the directions on the CM wiki for putting CM onto my phone. CWM would give me errors about not being able to mount my SD card, which meant that I couldn't download the ROM. However, in a previous thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2516163), I was told to start the rooting and flashing process over again. I ODINed back to a stock, pre-rooted ROM and then unlocked my bootloader with EZ-Unlock 1.2. I tried to download TWRP from GooManager, but it said it couldn't find any compatible recoveries when I went to Install OpenRecoveryScript from the menu. I instead flashed TWRP 2.6.3.0 via ODIN, but it gives me the same errors. It is also worth noting TWRP 2.6.3.0 asks me for a password when I boot into recovery, but the modded one did not. At one point, I downloaded a modded TWRP that turned out to be for Sprint GS3s (so it wouldn't let me download CM), but it did not give me the same errors (can't mount SD card, etc.). I have since put TWRP 2.6.3.0 back on the phone and get the can't mount errors again. Today, after a few weeks of inactivity, I went into GooManager and tried Install OpenRecoveryScript again. This time, it said that TWRP 2.6.3.1 was available, so I tried to download it and got an Invalid MD5 Sum error. It is also important to note that my SD card is formatted to FAT-32 (I could try to format it again in case there is an issue with the SD card). I am currently using a brand new SanDisk 8GB SD card (which I bought specifically to ensure that the issue was not with my SD card), which I formatted to FAT-32 after I got the Can't Mount errors. Even after formatting to FAT-32, I still get the errors. Any idea what is going on?

EDIT: I just read that the issue may be with data encryption. As far as I know, I never encrypted my data, but for some reason, the password screen on TWRP shows up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikestrong19:
Bump.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Macrodroid:
Install rom manager, select recovery setup and choose cwm 6.0.4.3. Let rom manager install the recovery. I had the same problem, this fixed it... :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikestrong19:
Thanks for the tip. I actually read your thread as soon as I posted this and did exactly that and it worked. I guess its something with the touch recoveries or something.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Macrodroid:
Not really sure what the deal was really, but I haven't changed recoveries since and I've had no issues flashing any roms. The only thing I can think of is the phone is a new upgrade, so maybe something different in the hardware... Glad it worked for you! :)
