Hi guys! Just got a nexus 7 1st gen and its stuck in a bootloop. It seems that it thinks the power button is constantly pushed in when its not which is causing it to restart constantly. Ive managed to get it to stay on by wedging down the volume up key but i cant use the sleep/wake or volume up and as soon as i let go of the volume up it thinks the power button has been pressed and asks me if i want to power down, but before i can press anything it resets. I have put new buttons in this morning to no avail and cant find anyone with the same problem and was wondering if anyone one here had any idea?

I just purchased my nexus 10 today and would like to root it. However whenever I try to boot into recovery by holding both the volume buttons and the power button down it just turns off and does nothing, if i continue holding them down it just vibrates and the screen remains black. Has anyone else experienced this problem and found a solution?
i have the with the root also
Thought Id ask here before I give up.
Been having a problem with my nexus.
The power button started acting up recently.
I've tried replacement and also made sure the mechanical button works inside someone else's device and it works fine.
My problem is that the button seems to loop or not work at all. For instance the device wont boot (Gets stuck in a loop) unless I hold the power down until the boot has completed, then if I let go it will usually stay on.
But then the power button is unresponsive unless I hold it again which in turn puts it back into a loop. I can hold it down for 10 secs then release then I get power down option but if I select it it goes back into a loop.
Ive tried a recovery which hasn't fixed it and tried using computer to flash a new image but I cant unlock boot loader as when I manipulate the button on the screen where I have to accept. It then goes into a boot loop again causing the device to not unlock/relock.
Im pulling whatever hair I have left out here and am about to give up unless anyone else has any ideas? Its as though the power button either works but sticks on. Or doesn't work at all. depending if I've held it on for a while or not.
Many Thanks
Hi !
I bought a Nexus 4 for 10 bucks from a taxi driver knowing it has this problem . I searched the whole internet and barely found some info, most of the people who got this problem just force closed it and then it worked. But with this one, it happens everytime i turn it on.
You can see the problem in the video.
Also, if i let it boot, i can change the volume and i managed to turn on the flash, so the touch is working. And the screen does the same thing if i wake it, but it's not that bright..
Can anyone help me ?
I don't know if it has root or anything, if you can at least help me with a guide to flash it without knowing anything about the software or the settings in it, i'd be really thankful!

Hi
If you can go to stock recovery i.e press an hold volume down+power button until you see bootloader.
Then press volume down key until you see recovery. Press power button to select.
Then press an hold power button and press volume up key and release all keys.
Now you are in recovery.
You can do a factory wipe.
See if that solves the problem.
Good Luck

Hi all,
I have accident on sea where one wave splashed a bag where my phone was. After small problems with "laggy" buttons everything went fine and my phone worked correctly except power button. It doesn't react. I couldn't even restart the phone. And when my battery was used I coudnt turn it on. I tried to press volume up + power button million times, or all 4 buttons, and somehow I manage to turn it on again while still I was on vacation. Few times I have entered Android recovery screen, and Power button worked perfectly there (I managed to press power button and select reboot device). And after the phone turn on power button would usually works few minutes and then it would died again.
I have installed software for simulation of power button and it worked ok. This morning somehow I decided to turn off my phone, and I couldn't even imagine what kind of problems I will have to turn it on again. Whole day I am trying to turn it on, but it doesn't react. When I pull in charger then it shows regularly battery status (70%). I am desperate :crying:
I am trying to google or find any solution how to bring it ON again without power button, but without success
Is there any way how could I turn Samsung galaxy S6 Edge Plus without power button?
And what you think, is this some kind of software problem, and maybe some factory reset or flashing might help? Or it is more likely hardware problem?
Many thanks in advance.
Can anyone help me?
I have just found this article which might help me:
How to turn ON Galaxy S6 without using the power button:
When the Galaxy S6 or Galaxy S6 Edge is turned off, press and hold the volume button for a few seconds.
While holding the volume button, connect the Galaxy to a computer using a USB cable.
Wait for your phone to boot to Download mode.
Then press down on the volume rocker to cancel the operation.
After the operation has canceled, the Galaxy will reboot and turn on.
You have successfully turned on the Galaxy S6 without using the power button.

But somehow this doesn't work for my phone? First I wasnt sure which volume button should be pressed, so I tried with both in all combinations and still cant get into Download mode.
But I am glad that samsung had created some workaround if power button is not working. THis used to work on older models I guess.
Is there anyone who might know the way how to turn on phone without power button?
As title states, restarted phone after updating and the power/volume buttons stopped working. I already requested an RMA but am curious as to anyone who has had a similar issue know of a way to solve/fix it. Only way I was able to get the phone out of the black screen was to do the O gesture to open the camera (Happy I had that enabled). I can currently use the phone but I am worried to let it die.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: I am more worried that if I were to get a replacement that this will just happen again and would then be stuck with it. Am I wrong to be worried?
I have just experienced this issue. Volume and power buttons don't work. What is going on?!?!? What did you end up doing sylv?
Same thing happened to me yesterday. It's a software issue, a simple reboot will fix it.
But how can you reboot without a button, you ask?
Go to settings -> Utilities-> Scheduled power on/off and set it to shutdown by itself. After it shuts down you'll be able to press the power button to turn it on.
