[Nexus 5 General] DT USC:
I read through this thread thinking one of you found a better solution than me, because you always seem to. Anyways I did not see anything that would help me because I am out of warranty and don't own a solder gun. On my last N5 I took it apart and put a small piece of foam between the button and the board. This added a little resistance to button and also helped pop it back out when I pushed it. It worked for over a year. Once or twice I had to go in and move the foam back into place because it worked its way from between the button. It takes less than 5 minutes and cost 0 dollars. Hopefully this will help some of you that don't have other options. I'm about to do it to my "new" N5 because I decided to get my other one wet this weekend.

---------- Post added at 02:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:11 PM ----------

Quick Follow up: I just did it to my "new" N5 and it worked well again. It had been power cycling all morning when I tried to wake the screen up, or touched it. Even with the case off (the case covers the power button and puts a small amount of pressure on it, so it makes it more sensitive when the power button issue arises). Now I have the case back on it and it is working like it should. if you are interested below is all I do to fix it;

1) Take the back off the N5

2) take the 6 small screws out that hold the top protective cover over the board

3) go to almost any door in your house and tear a very small piece of the foam off of the weather stripping (a lot of windows have it also)

4) take a tiny flat head screw driver and press the foam on either side of the power button, between it and the board.

when I say "either side" I am referring to either side of the small white button that comes off of the board. be sure not to get any foam between it and the power button. this is where the problem actually comes from. the power button doesn't have enough resistance to push it back out and stop making contact with this white button on the board, so it keeps turning phone on and off. the foam acts as a buffer between the power button and board.

5) put phone back together and enjoy.

Chroma Rom lets you use the volume buttons to wake the phone , and you can also tap to sleep. EX kernel has tap to wake but that feature drains more battery.

Thanks for the tips DT USC. I have a Nexus 5 collecting dust due to a wonky power button. If your trick can extend its life a little, I can probably find a use for it.

I got mine replaced for 335inr roughly 5usd.

The repair is available at both (I asked only two SVCs)

Noida sector 15, LG service center.

Noida sector 63, LG service center.

They do it instantly, 5-15 minutes.
[Nexus 5 General] DT USC:
No problem Caleb. Mines been working perfectly for several days after doing that to it. It bought me almost an extra year with my last N5. The only way it's ever failed me is if the foam works itself out, but that's very rare and an easy fix.

[Nexus 5 General] brotherofkalel:
I just had this power button sticking problem occur again. Last time I tried flicking/whacking it, worked for about a minute. Then I tried pulling it apart and pulling the white part with pliers, that worked for a few months, now it's sticking again.

I've ordered a replacement part to fix it myself (I've done a lot of electronics rework in the past) but I need to get it going until the new part arrives. Here's what I did this time:

(You don't have to heat/solder/whack anything.)

1 ) Pull the phone apart until you get access to the button.

2) Disconnect the power connector so you don't short anything out.

3) Squeeze the switch gently with needle nose pliers diagonally both ways slightly distorting the switch. Don't squeeze it so much that it doesn't spring back into shape.

4) Reassemble.

[IMG="see attached pic for explanation of squeeze diagonally"]http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3581511&d=1450488200[/IMG]

The switch is made from a copper/nickel body. Gently distorting it this way should loosen up the moving parts allowing the button to release properly. DON'T SQUEEZE IT TOO MUCH! You could end up breaking it or tearing the solder joint or worse, the pads off the board.

Mine seems to be working fine now. Hopefully it will last until the replacement part arrives.

Maybe this will help someone with the same problem.

Same here i got this problem too with my nexus 5..my trick is giving some scolding with my finger on the edge of screen which around power button in booting process

Sorry for my bad english :D
[Nexus 5 General] darkstar121212:
factory reset cleared it up

This happened to me and I installed gravity screen as a workaround, which worked fine. However, I had a software issue that locked my phone so I had to factory reset and the problem went away when I did that. It has been a few weeks and it works fine now. Mine was definitely software related, not hardware.
[Nexus 5 General] 6:17:
I remember hearing about the power button issue and feeling fortunate it hadn't happened to me. About a month later, I was at work and I pulled my phone out my pocket and seen that it was constantly rebooting. I remembered a post about tapping in the button area a few times. I worked hit or miss over the next few weeks. When I upgraded to MM, I would pull a hot phone out my pocket cause the camera kept getting activated. It was a total pain. One day, I accidentally dropped it. The back nearly separated, but for about two weeks now, no power button issues
[Nexus 5 General] Juhler:
Hey

That sounds like a fix that is worth trying before resoldering the power button! Did you manage to take any pictures of it for reference?

/Cheers
[Nexus 5 General] DT USC:
I didn't when I did it. . PM your email address or number and I will be glad to send you some if you want. I have not touched it since I did this months ago and it is still working perfectly.

If i look in my nexus 5 the white inner power button has enough place to push back...

I tried this, but it didn't work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doPuXkQTGbc

Such a small problem, but the phone is useless. In my case this all startet after a freeze in cyanogennCAF. Before that I nearly never had an issue with the power button. But the double tap to camera sometime started by accident.

One time since then I was able to boot to fastboot and I restored to Stock with factory image. The Phone worked for 20 min. But since then, the best I can get is the boot logo for some seconds, after that: reboot.
[Nexus 5 General] Juhler:
My phone actually started to behave normally after a few days, and now it has been working with out a problem for several weeks. :good:
[Nexus 5 General] garikfox:
I just got a new Nexus 5 this past Wednesday and to prevent my power button from going out I'm using Gravity Screen app with just the Proximity Sensor on, So all I do to wake the screen is wave my hand in front of it, Now I'm hoping to only use the power button once a week to power cycle it. Without the Gravity Screen app I'd be pushing the power button more then 20 times a day.
[Nexus 5 General] marinnnn:
I had also problems with power button, after I opened phone and fiddled with it, it started working again. To be on safe side I set volume buttons to wake device and double tap to lock it (using custom rom). Also installed Simple reboot app(root needed) in case I need to reboot phone.

LG Google nexus 5 "powerbutton troubles and randomly restarting"

Hi Guys, Good day. The sad part is there is no communication by google about the "powerbutton troubles and randomly restarting" after updating to marshmallow, which google should had updated to all nexus 5 users. If you dont get your power button replaced at the first instance when your phone restarts abruptly, there is a high chance that the motherboard also going defective. I too was late in identifying the power button issue. Hence after getting my power button replaced, my phone was working fine, but WiFi and Bluetooth were not working. Since WiFi and Bluetooth are part of the motherboard component. I had to get the motherboard also replaced, now things are back to normal. Hitting the phone does not solve the problem, its hampers the rest of the component in phone. So dont. Please reach the nearest authorised LG service centre and ask them to do the needful. Power button comes in two part , a small power button and the full set power button. Replacing the small power button will solve the issue and the price is less. Seems that Marshmallow is too heavy for nexus 5 hardware, causing the nexus 5 hardware to fail. Also heavy HD game users/wifi users in nexus 5 might have observed the device heating up more where the power button and motherboard resides (left side). This might be another reason for the failure of the power button and motherboard.Please pass the info to rest of the nexus 5 users who are facing this issue. Google i am unhappy that you did not update the nexus 5 users in advance about this ongoing issue. Have a lovely weekend guys thanks.

My solution to the power button not working

Here is an alternative solution to the dreaded power button failure on the Nexus 5.

Basically I tried the already posted methods: cleaning the button on the motherboard with cleaning liquid (used a lot!), and also the method by DT USC posted a few pages back: use a small piece of window insulation rubber between the motherboard and the button on the case, to let it not stick to the motherboard. For me, neither of these worked.

My issue was actually not that the phone was constantly rebooting (i.e. sticking button), but that the button would just not respond. Not, unless I pressed it very heavily and hope for the best. What I found out was that when I pushed the phone from front and back tight together near the power button side, the button would actually work, whilst letting go from the phone and not push it together, it would not.

What I then did, was to add that same insulating foam rubber inside the phone, between the case and the motherboard to create a pressure to the button area, so that it would work. And it now does 100%!

Only downside is that by adding extra material inside the case, it makes a small gap on the side near power button allowing dust to get inside a bit, as you can see below. I don't mind personally really, as there is already a small piece of case disappeared near SIM tray anyway, and a working Nexus 5 is better than non-working.

Attached a few pics to explain the procedure. Basically what I did was:

1) Use plastic tool to open the back cover. For the first time I suggest using hair dryer for the below part to soften the glue. I really suggest checking the following video for general information how to work with this phone when opening it up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPuCmfhzgbg

2) Open the 6 screws and remove the black plastic cover

3) Insert a small piece of foam as seen in the pictures. Make sure to not cover anything important. But it's quite easy since you can just place the foam on the top part of the silver plate.

4) Carefully align the black plastic cover back and re-attach the screws. You can then see if the piece of foam you used is too thick by observing how big of a gap there will be, and also now is a good time to test the power button itself before putting the back cover back.

If the issue is a loose connection somewhere that is sorted by adding pressure on the phone as I had, you will now have a fully working power button again.
[Nexus 5 General] crashtestcf:
Just a quick note for you guys having this problem have had it twice now, if you have been using a magnetic phone cradle as i was (or possibly even have your phone sitting on a speaker or something with a decent magnet) this is likely the issue, fix by using a small raw earth magnet and rest your phone sitting on its edge with the power button on the magnet, left mine sitting like that for about 24 hrs, and where previously it would reboot before the android loading screen its now switching on and off as per normal.
[Nexus 5 General] leaskovski:
Ok, so this actually seems to work, at least in testing. I haven't pulled the phone apart yet to add some foam, but I have just held the phone very tightly in the area around the power button and then pressed it a lot, and it hasn't appeared to cause a reboot! I'm going to try this when i get home with some foam strips I have.

Edit:

So a couple of weeks later, I have done this, and I haven't had an issue since doing this. It looks like pressure being applied to the area has fixed my dysfunctional power button! Thanks!!!!

[MENTION=4151838]xdadevnube[/MENTION] XDA's recommended place to look is Swappa, but pretty much anywhere will do as long as you try not to get scammed. Of course, you can also buy from a carrier store/retailer if you'd rather have a brand new one. Other than the two models for the different LTE bands (D820—US/D821—rest of the world), every Nexus 5 is the same.

So I upgraded to WM6 and it works great, would love to keep it. But there is no support for the mac at all. Can't sync, can't link to it, nothing.

Have to downgrade back to WM5 till everyone catches up.

Anyone have the link to the old Rom?

There are HTC S620 ROM's out there

There is the HTC S620 ROM floating around, but I haven't seen the "official" T-Mobile WM 5 ROM posted, and I've looked quite a bit.

To use the S620 ROM you need to SID and CIM unlock the phone, and then you can fall back.

Well I finally got the Dash VM5 ROM to load via my XP machine. Only thing I did different was to run the AppUnlock application from mobile.surrealnetworks.com. First time I ran the ROM Updater for VM5 I got the same error message. The update went so far as to give me that 3 color screen showing ROM versions or something (on the DASH). I restarted the ROM Updater with that screen still on and it loaded fine. Know that I think about it, I am not sure if in the past I restarted the updater with the 3 color screen on the Dash, or if I rebooted the Dash 1st. Not sure if the AppUnlock is necessary or not.
