My nexus 10 will not stop bootloooping no matter what I do. it reboots every 5 seconds no matter what. Ive tried rebooting into revocery but I cant select "recovery" because for some reason the volume buttons are not working. Ive also tried plugging it into the charger and into my laptop. 4
Any way to fix this? (still bootlooping as I post this)
I would try accessing Bootloader. If you can do that, then you can factory restore.

Like I said the volume buttons are not functioning so I cant access the bootloader. (still bootlooping)

I was cleaning my buttons as they were sticky but im sure that was the actual cause of this.
Im worried that If i have to contact Samsung to get it replaced (assuming they replace it) that they might not like the fact that I unlocked my bootloader.

Stuck or shorted volume down button. If it were a remote control (tv) with a soda spill causing it to stick or water shorting out the contacts, I would say to remove the battery, disassemble the keys and spray it down with a good electronics contact/component spray, let it dry out and put it all back together and you would be good to go.
I don't know if I would risk taking apart the n10 myself. If you did, be careful with the spray on plastic... A mild cleaner/alcohol which may damage the plastic. If you were cleaning it with water, you may get lucky and it could dry out on its own in a few days... If you have an air compressor or even 'a can of air', you could try that to dislodge whatever is making the button sticky or even moisture. (use canned air cautiously since it can create more moisture if over used... Just quick sprays around the button).
Last, I don't think Samsung would have an issue with rooting it... It's not a software issue and I also don't think cleaning out the button would be covered under the manufacturer warranty. Something you might have to pay the bill on.
Thanks everyone for your replies. Thankfully all has been resolved through Google's customer support. They are sending me a new NExus 10 free of charge. I cannot stress how awesome their support was and am thoroughly impressed.
Thanks again guys!! This community rocks.

Good to hear!
Has anyone else had a problem similar to this? I've figured it's due to wear and tear, but I know I don't use my phone half as much as many people do here, yet I can't seem to find any information on this.
The same thing happened to my Captivate last year, which I had owned for about 20 months. Ironically, it's the reason I got my Note back in March and now I'm having the same problem, just sooner. Basically, my phone will sometimes reboot itself sometimes if the button sticks. It is noticeably more pressed down than when I first got it and even more than the volume keys.
Try opening it up and re-sit the button. You may need to clean out some gunk/dust. Or, you may need to replace the button. Replacement parts cost only few dollars from ebay.

Thanks for the response. Do you have a link or something that will instruct me on how to safely deconstruct my phone? I've never done and I want to make sure it's carried out properly.
I'm having the same problem. The phone isn't even a year old. I tried removing the screws in the back hoping the white cover would come off so I can see the internals but I couldn't pop it off. (then again I didn't try pulling that hard) I just press the button a bunch of times and the phone eventually turns on again. I saw on eBay a power button repair service for $45. If i knew how to open the phone I would probably try to do it myself.

If your phone is less than a year old .... This is a known hardware issue. This is an example of when it is acceptable to return to AT&T or whoever for an exchange. I am strongly against all the return for operator inflicted issues, but this is an issue with these phones and you should be calling for a replacement.

Hello
I just registered for this site. I watched the video explaining to me that I'm a noob, and appreciated it. It put me in my place.
I have a Samsung Galaxy s II (for at&t; SGH-i777)
It is about a year and a half old.
I have not rooted it, everything on it is as if it were out of the box. Nothing is changed from the default settings.
I have upgraded to 4.0.4 though.
About a couple days ago, the power button stopped responding completely. I took out the battery and reinserted it which caused the phone to restart but did nothing for my problem. I have called Samsung (they told me to send it in for repairs: costing $70) I would love to get it repaired without sending it in or parying that amount. I have seen options of getting it rooted, downloading an app to transfer the powere button function over to the Volume down button function, but I don't really know how to go about that.
Therefore, I ask you, O'people of XDAdevelopers, do I have any other options? I did search the site for a problem similar to mine, but everyone else has their phone rooted. I am also unfamiliar to any technical terms. I am a noob to the fullest. I don't know how to root the device or even what things would be neccessary to root it.
Any help would be much appreciated it. I am willing to do anything.

As far as rooting and finding software workarounds, you can easily find all of that info by searching and looking at the stickies.
From a hardware perspective, I would recommend taking apart the back shell of the phone, and try to see if the power button responds by pressing it without its plastic cover piece.
If you have any soldering ability you can replace the part yourself for under 10 dollars. Search eBay for it

Hey man thanks for the help. I didn't get a chance to try out your method. A couple days ago, I woke up and the problem was completely gone. The power button was fully-functional and my phone was working perfectly.
Unfortunately, today, my phone has started acting up again. It keeps restarting on its own. It shuts down while I'm using it and it restarts. Nothing seems different so I start using the phone again, and it happens again (it restarts). Its restarted today around 7 times. My power button is functional at the moment, but I remember this exact sequence of events leading up to my initial problem where the phone's power button stopped responding.
What do you recommend?

I have no such ability. I could follow instructions but I myself am not good with that type of stuff. Fortunately though, this wasn't necessary. The power button started working on its own again without me having to do anything. Everything was fine until today, my phone has started acting up again. It keeps restarting on its own.

Wait.. so even though the phone is working fine today, there's still the possibility that its going to completely fail? It stopped restarting on its own once I took the cover off. I had the Otterbox cover for SGH-i777 on it, but once I removed the cover, the phone has been working fine. Do you think there's a connection between the cover and the restarts? (I would post the link for the otterbox cover to show you, but I can't post links since I'm still a newcomer)

First off, have you checked to see if there’s another update? There were two 4.0.4 updates released for this phone. There was one back in January, I believe, that introduced the sleep of death problem, as well as causing a lot or seemingly random reboots. Some of the problems you describe definitely sound like these. They released another update around March that was supposed to fix these problems. That update is also 4.0.4, but should be UCLL6.
The power button issue is also a well known problem. When mine starts acting up, the first thing that happens is I’ll press the power button and the power menu will come up as if I’m holding the button down. Then a few seconds later, the phone will reboot and usually the power button doesn’t work after. It’s likely a design defect and will fail eventually, but there is a solution, if only temporary, that has worked for me and several others. If it starts happening again, pull your battery and press the power button repeatedly. Some people have gone so far as to press it several hundred times. I usually only press it a couple dozen times, but the problem does comes back for me eventually and I have to do it again. Interestingly, most of the people I've seen reporting this power button problem have had it start in the last couple months, around the year and a half mark. Not trying to say anything, but very awkward it started happening right as the Galaxy S4 was announced
I had this problem and tried all the workarounds but they didn't seem to work or was buggy. I ended up having to send it in to Samsung for them to fix it (luckily it was still under warranty). It ended up being a hardware issue so you may need to send it in to repair if you cannot fix it yourself with the methods in this post.
Those with power button issues, try this app:

Works great, and the Dev has a thread for it on XDA.

I had almost the exact same problem with my Sprint Galaxy S II (Epic Touch). (Random reboots every couple of days, which got progrssively worse. Eventually, I noticed that just brushing the power button would cause the phone to reboot ~10sec later.) It ended up being a bad power button, and replacing it resolved the issue.
How handy are you with a soldering iron? If you're pretty good, you can buy the AT&T i777 S2 switch for about ten bucks and replace it yourself. (You can also try cleaning it for free - several tutorials here at XDA. The Samsung "Captivate" and "Epic 4G Touch" have similar switches and and the same problems. Search both forums.)
Several eBay sellers have the switch you'll need. (They don't provide the skills needed to solder it in place - but your AT&T phone will be easier than the I897 Captivate or D710 Epic Touch. Your switch is similar, but a larger size.)
UPDATE: Several eBay sellers now offer mail-in repair services! (If you don't have mad soldering skills, you can still get your phone fixed:
$40 (switch, repair & return shipping): http://www.ebay.com/itm/Galaxy-S2-POWER-SWITCH-REPAIR-SERVICE-SGH-I777-Samsung-SII/161040773617

I've having that problem on mine it's still on Gingerbread. The power button seems to be clicking normally, it doesn't seem stuck. Yet anytime I stick my battery in it automatically cuts on and the screen seems to shut off without responding to the power button. I cannot reboot the device. I cannot turn the screen off/on without plugging it in or unplugging it from charger.

You could remove the power button entirely and rely on the Gravity Screen On/Off app I linked above. I have never tested it on GB but it should work, as It relies on the sensor. Removing the power button shouldn't be difficult at all, as you can access it by removing the battery and there are several tutorials on how to do that (i9100 tutorials will work just as good).
Perhaps some of these ideas will work for you?
My current phone has a failed power button. I didn't bother removing the power button, as it is unnecessary. I use Gravity Screen, and an app called Power Menu to replace the power button long press menu. I just pull the battery to turn the phone off, and for rebooting. Works acceptably well.
Of course the other option is to have the power button replaced, which is about $40 plus shipping, but this phone is so old it is hardly worth it.
Or, how I learned to not rip open phones on a messy desk.
My S2 was my first android phone, and man has it been an incredible phone. Really the only issue was some lockups with an att update, wherein I switched to ParanoidAndroid.
Unfortunately, recently the phone began having power button issues. It wouldn't wake from power presses, it would wake and work, or it would wake and suddenly restart the phone.
I figured it was the power button, so like a true fool, I got to work ripping open the phone to clean the inner guts.
Attached are a few bad pics I got. Good lord these phones get dirty as hell inside!
After spending 15 minutes cleaning the phone and the crap out of the power button, I went to re-assemble it.
When I realized that it was the volume button I was cleaning.
When I realized the power button dropped when I ripped it open.
The lesson here for me:
Open your phone as a last resort
Open your electronics in clean areas, so when you drop things...
and be careful!
I get these a lot. I can solder a new power button on for $50 including return shipping. You can email me @ seivad17 [at] msn.com if interested.
What's the problem? You just need to replace the power button. If you're not afraid of opening up your phone, then you can surely buy a cheap soldering kit and learn how to solder using youtube videos. That's what I did. You'll fix your phone and learn a very useful skill for a very, very small price.
I opened up my phone to fix the power button, and it started working, even though I didn't do much other than blowing some canned air into the area where the actual switch is. But in taking it apart, the vibrator motor got pulled off of its ribbon cable, so it doesn't work anymore. I've taken it apart a couple other times to look closer and see whether it's something I could just solder back on, or if I could buy a replacement part, but every time I open the case I get one or two new cracks in it, so I don't think I'll open it again to finish the job. I'll just live without the vibrator motor until I get a new phone.
Mine also failed recently due to the power button. It's nearly two years old, so I replaced it anyway. Think I'm going to buy a replacement power switch and see what I can do--maybe give it to a friend or something.
The strange thing is, when I pull it apart and use the phone without the actual power tab (rubber) in the slot, it will work. But not every time. So I'm thinking the button itself was being pressed too firmly while in the case/my pocket, which caused the switch itself to fail.

I had something very similar. Used it for a few days after I switched on the Volume as screen activation (on CM). Then it stopped charging. Ended up being a ribbon cable from charging port to main board was bad. Got it replaced and it's as good as new.
Mine acts strange. When I put the battery, it automatically turns on and power button doesn't work, also USB but if I push USB really hard it gets working but works too bad. I cant make factory restore because of the power button, but also the battery is replacement battery, I charged it outside of the phone with the charger and in 30 minutes dropped from 21% to 10%, even doing nothing. So is it battery problem or my charging dock needs to be replaced? battery is 2200 Mah.
I had the same problem with my Cappy. I was able to get by still because I could still get into recovery. I just downloaded an app from the Play store that allowed me to have advanced reboot option. When I wanted to turn it off I just removed the battery.
I had seen a guy use a type of cleaner for electronic equipment that he sprayed inside a few times and operated the button. He said he was able to fix the problem. I don't remember the spray though.

My power button died a few months ago and I've been using an app called "Wake Up Screen!!!" that let's me shake the phone when I want to turn it on.
It's getting a bit old, so I'm thinking of rooting it so I can map the power button to the volume button. Anyone know if I'll need to use the power button during the root process? This stuff is all new to me.

Hi,
I also need help. I just got my TS and downloaded the play store and started to load apps onto the watch. Everything was fine until I set the watch down to fix dinner. When I came back, it wouldn't turn on. I tried holding down both buttons thinking that may be how you can reset it...no luck. I don't want to open the back because that will ruin my warranty. Is there anything else I can do? I am not computer literate (figuring out how to sideload the play store apk was the achievement of a century for me).
I just feel so lost. I don't know who to even ask at this point...I don't think I did anything wrong to the watch. I have no clue why this happened. I just got it today.
Have you tried to charge it yet?
Also, if you haven't rooted or run the patch, really bad idea to put ANY info on it.
You can open the back without voiding anything but the water-resistance warranty. If you open the back you can pull the battery. If you pull the battery, or let it run down all the way, then try to restart your watch with a charged battery in place, it will probably work again.
It may be that your power button has slipped out of alignment or is otherwise not pushing on the switch on the main board correctly. Sometimes the main board can shift away from the external buttons. If you open your TrueSmart, you can take a look anyway.

I ran into a similar problem with my power button not turning on my watch. Sigh. Did you ever solve your problem? Its hard enough that I can't even open the back of the watch as I had to take it to a local jewelry person to have him open it to put in my memory card when I first got the watch.

My 1900. omate will not power on so how do I check to make sure the min board is in contact with the power button? I can see it pushing down some metal tip when I press the power button but then what? Push it with a screwdriver or ?
With your TrueSmart back cover off but the battery still installed, can you still see where the power button is pushing against the power switch on the main board ? If so, you can push the power button and see if it hits the switch to depress it. Maybe you could also carefully slip a tool in sideways between the button and switch and attempt to depress the switch. I suggest you try with something non-conducting first, if you can reach it with the battery still installed at all.
This is just to check whether the power switch is being depressed far enough to activate the watch. Sometimes the switch has been found to not have been properly soldered to the main board or to be otherwise defective.
Make sure it still won't power on after a battery pull first, of course. I'm sure you have already tried that, but it bears repeating.

Keeping the battery and getting at the power switch is difficult because I had to lift up a second layer to get at it. I managed to depress the button and screwed it back. I pressed the power button and nothing happened but when I plug it to my pc via cradle it kept blinking the battery symbol again and again. Not sure if that meant the battery power was low so I pulled the battery and put it back in. This time I see it flash the battery symbol once then it nothing.
Update.... it went back to flashing the battery symbol.
Update... my watch came back after switching batteries. I did depress the power button from inside before I screwed the backplate back on. I applied the ensc security patch as I used the wrong option..didn't know there was four options in the drop down menu at bottom. I was hoping for a fix butThe power button still doesn't work so I turned on the watchon app... if its working and switch the display on to 30 mins. I'm looking to apply the ensec 20140318 patch. OOPS I already did the patch.
