No more reboots since the new update. But the power button doesn't work anymore. I have to use the docking station to turn the TF101 on and a app to turn it off.

Is it going in and out?
Did you drop it recently?
My bezel was bent out of shape from being dropped onto the bottom left corner and yesterday I took it off to bend it back in shape. When I put it back on, power button wasn't set properly, so just popped it back off and back on again and it works just fine.
It's fairly easy to do. Just remove the two T5 torx screws by the charging port, then pull out and up on the bezel (some used a guitar pick or some plastic piece to pry it out) all the way around the device and it comes right off. Then to put it back on, just put it over the device and simply push it back in and it'll click back in place.
The button works fine and I never dropped it.
If my TF is on and I get a dark screen I can use the button to turn it on.
But I can't turn it off with the button.
If my TF is sleeping for a few hours, the button can't turn it on, I have to use the dock.
The funny thing I can reproduce this behavior over and over. First I was thinking its the button, but for me it seems to be a software issue.

I have also power button issue after upgrade 9.2.1.17...

My TF is not rooted. I would like to reboot it.
Does anybody has a idea how to do this, when the power button is not responding?
Other ways I have to drain the gathered completely, what I really don't like.

If you root it you could use terminal emulator, su [enter] reboot [enter]... try rooting with viper mod, at least you could turn it on and off with terminal emulator... not sure what the command for shut down is, power off maybe? Sure someone knows it...
power down command
Under *nix 'shutdown -P' (or '-p' under *BSD except OSX) should power down the system.

JUST ROOT IT.
or use the command "adb reboot"
Adb reboot says demon not active and nothing happens.
Do I need to be a superuser or any permission to do that?

Do other adb commands work?
And why don't you just friggin root already? You know it takes less than a minute right?
I don't agree with Horndroid much, nor do I share his animus about your not rooting, but I must say that having your device rooted is SOOOO easy, and totally reversible, and would make all of this 100% easier for both the community to help you troubleshoot, and for you to do what we need you to do to help us troubleshoot..for example having emulator terminal access or ADB control of your device. For the latter you don't NEED root, but it makes things SOOO MUCH EASIER. So yeah, just root already...
I'm experiencing the same thing. After the latest update, my power button doesn't work correctly.
Power button does not work TF101
I have the same issue since latest android update. Have all latest firmware etc and it is a brand new TF101.
Don't want to root. Anyone know an app to shut down this thing?
Perhaps Asus will include a power off/sleep soft key in the settings/bottom bar section for future releases...
Strange

ICS (I think) has Widgets for regular reboot and to turn off if your button doesn't work or you don't like using the button. [Sorry, I just realized that the icons came from an app called Quick Boot (reboot) that does require root to work]
So after you root and install that app - Just go to apps, (where all the icons are- top right of home screen) then Widgets tabs at top, swipe around and you'll see several buttons with lightening bolts labelled for the various options including both power off and reboot. (At least in Revolution HD ICS ROM.) I never even tried vanilla stock ICS. I have been on Revolution since Honeycomb. When ICS came out I waited a few days for the Revolution version to come out.

I picked up a MT4G for cheap with a badly cracked digitizer and decided to replace it. I'm not new to taking apart and fixing small electronics so I didn't feel like there should be any problem. I looked over the videos and info about taking apart this phone, and replaced the digitizer with no problem. The problem came when I booted the phone up. it boots into fastboot but when on none of the hard wear buttons work. I can also boot into Hboot by holding up and down while powering on the phone, but after the phone is turned on again none of the hare wear buttons work. Anyone have any suggestions???
either you broke your ribbon or your ribbon is not fully connected in check agian and try
Well it doesn't sound like you broke anything internally because you can boot into fast boot, you probably wiped the phone of software somehow tho, can you choose selections in fastboot menu by pressing the volume and power keys?

No. non of the buttons respond when the phone is on. The funny thing is the buttons respond during power up because I cab boot into Hboot. I'm going to take it apart again and have a good look to see if anything came loose.

Sounds like a strictly software issue, I'm pretty confident that if you can get adb access you can flash a rom through there. Can you mount the phone to your computer?
In the development section there's a guide for getting adb access, if you absolutely can't get the phone to respond than adb is your best bet.

Installed ADB onto my laptop and got it to see the mytouch 4g plugged in by showing the serial number. When I enter commands I get errors, I think the phone may be toast.
No way dude if it's recognizing it you're in the clear, if it gives you errors try to remount, you might want to get one of the developers on this since I'm not so technically proficient.but I do know that it's completely recoverable as of this point

My G2 works as it should, but recently it started to behave rather weirdly...
The only button I cannot use, is the ON/OFF/STANDBY-button. It doesn't work at all. And when I am using the phone, i.e typing a text message, it randomly gives me the "shut down, airplane mode, silent mode"-menu, just as it'd happen when I press the On/off/standby-button. It works on its own... when I am typing this, I see that the "shut down, airplane mode, silent mode"-menu keeps on coming up and then disappearing after 4-5 secs, even if I am not touching the phone at all!
However, this sometimes goes away so I can use the on/off/standy-button again like normal, but then maybe after few days, it "locks" again and start "behaving" on its own...
What is happening with my G2?! What have I done? Can it be an application that I've installed, or? Any ideas?
I would reflash your rom after a complete wipe (factory, dalvik) start fresh. I seen this in another thread with someone else. If it doesn't help it could be a hardware problem. How long have u had your phone?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Seems to me like a hardware issue. You might have to remap your on/off button to something else. Try this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850464
I see...
I am new to this flashing thing... Hmm.... I am supposed to meet a friend who want to buy the phone, but I suppose it's not possible to get this fixed until then?
What happens if I reset anything to factory defaults? Would the power-button work as it should then, or?
Also, I've got pics and movies on my SD-card. How do I completely "refresh" the phone so there's no trace of my photos/videos?
I've had my phone for roughly 2 months. Bought it as new then. Worked nicely until recently.. Haven't dropped it on the floor either.

Hey did you solve this issue? My Power button suddenly stopped working as well.
Backup your sd card data, pics and such to your pc,,,, dropbbox is the best btw. Then use cwm to format the sd card. as far as the power button, its prob a hardware flaw. sell it cheap and move on.
Could it be a problem with the flex table connecting the two halves of the phone?
I have a similar problem with my old touch pro which is done to the cable.

C'mon guys -- its probably just a stuck button. You have too much grime in there.
You MIGHT be able to clean it out and get it working without taking it apart by doing the following...
You will need a small spray bottle with some rubbing alcohol (NOT the 99% kind)
1. backup the phone, just in case, shut it down and REMOVE THE BATTERY.
2. spray the button area. Saturate it, try to get alcohol into the cracks around the button. If you get some on the screen, wipe it off.
3. work the button for a couple of minutes. push it push it push it push it push it push it push it push it push it push it push it push it push it .
4. Let the phone dry out -- the alcohol should evaporate pretty quickly, but I would wait two or three hours before...
5. replace the battery, turn on the phone and test.
AS USUAL, DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Well I did a replacement and all is good now just finally rooted it

What was the app, and where did you download it from?
And if you hooked your phone up to kies and it saw it....then the phone must be powered up. Remove the battery again, wait 10 minutes, then replace it.

Yes the phone has power but only shows a black screen.
Yes the battery has actually been out all night.
No Kies did not tell me anything i got a box up on my phone when it conected saying could not connect as application open.
The application was called Kids mode by zoodles.
They have sent me 2 ways to reset my phone one of which to hold down the volume button then press the power button which shows a menu choose clear storage using the volume button and the phone should be restored....it doesnt do any of that just turns on.
The other way is this
a) Install the Android SDK from a website they mentioned
b) Connect the phone to the computer with a USB cable
c) Type "adb uninstall com.zoodles.kidmode"
of which i am currently attempting to understand.
If you know any different then your help would be appreciated.
oh and the app itself i found on the android market on my phone
try getting into recovery by pressing vol up+home button+power and release when the S logo pops up
Thank you for that. It didnt work.
Have been defeated all this messing about so have taken in to have system rebooted.
I had the same almost and am still locked in the "Logo of Limbo" ( the big S) after 10 days and dealers trying this and that. Can't say it was an app that caused it, but it seems resetting SGS is a task and a half sometimes

Well, it's not pressing but holding:
Shut down the phone
Hold Vol-Up+Home and power
Release power when you see "Galaxy S, GT-i9000, Samsung" blinks
if this doesnt work, try Vol+Down instead of Up, and update the status here with what you see.
I just stumbled upon a 'safe mode' that our Atrix can be booted into, I believe its similar to windows safe mode, as in it only loads essential system files.
To do this, power off your Atrix, and press the power button to turn it on. Once the boot ANIMATION starts, immediately press and HOLD the vol up + vol down buttons until you get a long vibe, then release. you'll then see 'safe mode' at the lower left of the screen when the lockscreen comes up.
Im sure this could be of some use... for something. Just unsure exactly what this could be useful for at this point.
Is the data working? Can you make phone calls? I didn't try it yet.

I'm sure there are more than this, but I've heard safe mode mainly being used by people who get the force close of death loop (aka force close loop that never ends, even when restarting). This way in safe mode you can try to do something about the app causing the trouble.
like delete it?
Safe Mode FTW! Thank you! Thank you!
I was in a force-close loop after a launcher update and this was the solution.
XDA comes through again!!!
Thank you so much!

First time I found out about safe mode, it was when I was booting my Galaxy Note and at same time rubbing it against my trousers to wipe the screen clean. In GNote, during the boot animation the Menu key has to be tapped several times, no wonder the rubbing did the trick.
It is good to know now when it would be useful.

Hey
My power button seems to have failed on me. I press it but nothing happens and I leave the phone alone and it press itself. Something inside must have failed
Can I fix this myself? Not sure if I have a warranty on this phone anymore (never unscrewed but rooted and has CM running on it)
Hm can't say much. Did you drop it? Could there be dust and pocket lint in there preventing button movement?

Strange, I just had this happen to me the other day! It ended up being dust/lint...
hopefully that's all it is for you as well!
My power button is also acting up. When I hold it down while the phone is on nothing happens. When I pull the battery and put it back in it turns itself on. It is rooted running the Andromadus Alpha v5, previously running ILWT CM7 where it was doing the same thing but I didn't figure it out before flashing the ICS ROM. What would happen if I took it to a T-mobile store?
Happening exactly the same, button doesn't react completely and if i remove battery start up automatically. But i drowned the phone before so probably thats why...
Happened to me. I ended up just remapping my trackpad button to the power button.
How you did it?

The symptoms sound to me like the power button is stuck down, either the plastic button itself or the actual switch contacts underneath it.
Seems like it has auto fixed itself...........for now.
I edited the curcial-oj.ko file or whatever. Changed the key binding to POWER instead of trackpad click.
You can use adb to pull/push the file from /system/usr/keylayout. Reboot after pushing
keep in mind this only affects the android os, so you still need to be able to turn on your phone without using the power button (can't use tp to power on phone)
