I think others have also the problem that the power buttons tends to get stuck. Super inconvenient, especially when you navigate in TRWP.
Is there any help for this?

Power button does not respond at any point.
*EDIT:except after battery out for a long time, then power button WILL turn the phone on, but then continues to not function as per usual.
However, the phone automatically turns on as soon as the battery is placed in, so it's not dead at least.
Also can not get the phone to be recognised on either of two computers (one running Win 7 and the other Vista) always get "device has malfunctioned etc"
Have re-flashed a ROM from SD but same problem. If holding down the Vol Down on start up (putting the battery in) I can get to bootloader, hence the re-flash. But holding down both gets to the hard reset 'warning' screen, but it won't let me press Vol Up to actually do the hard reset.
All in all a frustrating problem which means I have to remove my battery to turn my phone off and have to use the option from Windows Menu to lock the device.
Any help with any of the problems is greatly appreciated.
Also Power Button mechanical function is still normal.
Many thanks.
Sounds like your end key has become faulty as well as your volume up button. Both of witch are common issues, especially the end button, but most peoples volume down button wears out first. This is do to the fact that the end/power key is in constant use from turning on and off the HD2 or from getting MAGLDR to pulled up a bootup for those running NAND Android. Also the volume keys take a lot of wear and tear from constant volume adjustment especially if you listen to alot of music on your HD2. Plus the volume ..down key takes extra wear and tear from being used to enter bootloader.

Yes it does seem that way, however I have had teh battery out over night, when I put it back in this morning it DID NOT automatically initiate the boot sequence. But it did after I pressed the power button, so it must have read it to some extent?
Also when the phone is on I can change the volume up and down as per usual, its all a bit strange.
Any other way to initiate a hard reset other than that menu?
Thanks very much!
It seems you are having a hardware issue, try sending your device to the service centre.
I have installed Clockwork Recovery Mod, when I boot into recovery mode, I get the menu, but cant figure out how to scroll. Any ideas?
I've tried all the buttons, and the only button that does anything is the power button, which just reboots.
Any help is appreciated.
use the volume up/down buttons to scroll, home button to select
Well those buttons don't work. It seems as though the recovery mode just becomes unresponsive as soon as it starts.
So my follow-up questions are:
1) What would cause the recovery mode to start, and then become unresponsive to the buttons on the tablet?
2) Is there any other way to flash a rom besides going into recovery mode?
I though the buttons weren't working too, until I pressed the power button a few times and they started to work
Well, on my droid i use the volume buttons and it should be same with all other phones
You got caught up in the S7 & S7 Difference just like I did. As best as I can tell, the recovery is for the S7 (non-slim) version of the tablet which has more physical buttons than the slim.
I'm living my new S7 (3 days old) but sad about the seemingly lack of development for such a sweet little device (for the price). Getting the launchers and such working might give me a enough drive to learn about making my own roms.
Oh speaking of launchers, make sure you enable "debugging" over USB. I made the mistake of installing launcher pro and rebooting. Thankfully debugging saved me (it locks up at the lockscreen with another launcher even installed but not 'defaulted').
Hi there,
I've got a problem with my A500 (rooted with taboonay ROM).
I've been using it for weeks without a problem. But now it doesn't boot any more. The screen stays black, the Power button lights on when I press it, but that's all.
I tried to hold Volume button while pressing Power, but it won't boot either.
I don't understand why it behaves like this.
Any way to force it to boot, please?
thanks !
Look somewhere on the forums, there was a topic how to unbrick.

Try doing a hard reset.
There's a little pinhole on right, lower side of tab labeled "reset".
I tried to push this little button, the power button lights on but the screen stays off...thank you anyway. Any other tips?

Use the search function and find the thread(s) about unbricking .
In the developer part you can find theme with unbricking instructions
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

Since some time my volume buttons aren't working as they should. When I press the volume up button it goes up a bit but then straight down again, as if its pressing both up and down at the same time.
Most of the time it does this, sometimes it works properly but almost never. Same goes for the volume down button.
I was thinking it was probably my volume/power connector, so I ordered a brand new, original lg g2 d802 connector and I just now replaced it, but I'm still having the same problem! I've also installed several new roms/kernels since this problem has been happening so I don't think its software related.
This is very annoying when I have a bootloop and I have to enter recovery, because it basically wont recognize I'm pressing volume down.
Anyone have any idea what is causing this and how to fix it?
Anyone?
Still having the same problem, flashed factory image, so it cant be software right? and also replaced the whole volume buttons board, so how can it be hardware? Really confusing. If anyone has any insight, or anything else i could try, it would be greatly appreciated!
