Hi, there! Last year I was using a Vibe K5, but I bought another one because of this problem: all of nowhere the Power Button stopped working. I did factory reset, I've bought a new "strap" with the volume and power button on it, changed, perfectly. But, even though I did all of this, the volume kept working, the power button don't.
Today I decided to try another search on Google and save this phone, but again... nothing.
Any help on this?
Hey, don't know if this of help at this point. This is a common problem with this model. I was facing the same issues and even purchased the same volume and power button strip but I soon realised that id got the wrong one. I took it to the repair shop and after fiddling around a little bit worked on The same damaged strip and brought it back to life. It took around 5 mins in total. I'd suggest you take it to a local repair person (although 90% of them will ask for a new strip) and ask them to fix it without you having to get a new one.

Hi I have been having this tablet for almost a month now. I have been experiencing when I press the power button to wake the device up, the screen won't turn on to the unlock screen. Its random but it happens to me at least 4-5 times a week. Any of you have the same issue? Is this a known issue cause I'm seriously thinking of returning this device and get an ipad instead.
I have only had my tab for a couple of weeks now, but I have had this happen to me once so far. Was slightly concerning, as I thought it had died for a moment.
EDIT: running version 3.2
Happend to me when I was still on 3.1. Update to 3.2 solved it.
my tablet came with 3.2. i have just written an email to sony. will let you guys know how it goes
happened to me three/four times in total and I had it since the launch. I used reset pin hole to fix.
Hi. I have the same problem. It can happen for 10 times a day. It's really annoying, and I don't know what to do.
Tried hard reset, but problem still remains, even when using only pre-installed programs.
Please help
Yep, I have had mine for about 2 months, never had an issue, went to go turn it on yesterday..... nothing.... so i figured the battery was dead, plugged it in.... nothing.... let it charge all night..... nothing.... tried to reset.... nothing... the light by the power button comes on when plugged in... orange charging, green ready, flashes orange when i reset it, but when i hit the power button, nothing, and the screen doesnt come on. I have had it with Sony and their piece of **** equipement, everything they have came out with since the PS3 has been junk!
I have had my tablet since it launched and this has only happened to me once. Using the reset pinhole fixed it right away. I would exchange it if this happens frequently.
After two months, this just happened to me for the first time about an hour ago... Odd. Pin hole reset fixed it.
Yeap sony suggested me to do the same it's been going ok so far. Another small issue happens to me is that it sometimes hiccup from sleep I had to press the power button twice to turn the screen on
I went to store and just ask for replacement. Now, with the new device it seems everything to be fine
The help guide is very useless yet useful for the Tab S because it says "You must access this page from your tablet." <-- It's broken, so how are we supposed to do that Sony?
But you can find a version of the help guide through loads of 404 errors, and it says prod the reset button with a paperclip (not a needle, a paperclip) and the power button will flash. Then boot up the tab like normal.
This worked for me, which is good because I thought the screen broke as I dropped my alarm clock on it. No physical damage so if I wanted to, the warranty would've covered it
I finally got my tablet back from Sony.... they said they found nothing wrong with it, but it works now, so far no issues. (this is after 2 days of me trying to get it to turn on, and about 3 hours at the store with the repair tech trying to get it to work, hence why they sent it in, and magically Sony found nothing wrong)
Try turning the screen brightness down to 98-99% and not 100% I found that worked for me
Had to get my one day old Nokia 800 replaced today.
Got everything setup last night and decided to power it off just to give it a restart. The phone would refuse to power back on. No amount of button pushing/reconnecting to the power would make it start up again. No power, nothing..dead.
I managed to get it to restart after performing the three button reset. No problem I thought maybe just a one off. Turned the phone off and put it on charge overnight and this morning the same problem returned.. Could not power on. This time the reset would not work at all, no matter how many times I tried.
Carphone warehouse swapped it over in store today for another handset. Hopefully I'll have more luck with the replacement.
Edit: already seen someone else mention a similar problem on here. Hope there's not a bigger issue.
How do you perform the three button reset? My phone randomly decided to turn off whilst I was driving and now it wont turn back on
Yes I've been in that spot as well. For five minutes the phone wouldn't respond to any power button press. Long, short, whatever. I was already starting to slide into panic mode when it suddenly came back alive on another short press.
It's not the only hardware problem I've encountered, I also have problems with touchscreen and buttons and a loose part inside the device.
A friend of mine got an under-warranty replacement for his first DNA a couple of weeks ago, but now the replacement's power button is pretty much unusable. He has another replacement coming, but in the meantime, I directed him to an app that would use the volume buttons to wake up the phone.
Of course, the app used more power - and my friend accidentally let the battery drain to the point of shutting down. The only thing he can do (that we know of) is connect it to power, giving him the pseudo-recovery charging screen.
Short of anything that would void the warranty, is there anything my friend can do to squeeze a little more life from the phone until the replacement arrives?
The replacement phone arrived, so after trying a few things and failing, my friend decided to give up and shipped the old phone back to Verizon. Thankfully, he had a slightly-old backup of all his unsynced data on his laptop.
Admins, please close.
Brand new s3.
power button doesn't seem to work. Anyone else?
not a known issue, take it back.
You realise you need to hold the POWER button down for a length of time?
Same problem. I haven't installed any apps or anything not either previously installed on another phone or tablet. Button isn't stuck, just totally unresponsive. Guess a trip to best buy is in my future
Add me to the list. My power button stopped working a few days ago.
I thought mine had died until I realised the batter had gone flat but I'm quite sure that's not the issue here.
Yea happened to me too. Maybe some water spilled. If not you have been abusing the power button. Better get a sleep wake cover like a finite and don't let the battery die. Power button issues went away after a few hours. Trick is to keep insisting the tab that power button still works don't give up.
Also press it in centre don't go wayward while pressing.
If you got issue with power button and got warranty get it changed for a replacement device... DO NOT GO FOR REPAIR SAME DEVICE.
Also if you connect charger and remove and connect trick is to learn how it works tab s3 should turn on without power button required. Just make sure you got that fingerprint unlock also keep screen timeout less if u don't have auto sleepwake cover
Hello, hopefully you can help me to troubleshoot my problem.
I've purchased a Honor 8x (64GB+4 RAM, SJN-L23, International version - no warranty) on May for my wife as mother's day present, the phone has been great until yesterday... she was using it regularly, suddenly the screen was frozen so she turned off the phone, what was weird is that the phone shut down without the classic "Shut down or restart" query, after that the phone won't turn on, the phone had enough charge (around 40%).
As a classic troubleshoot, I tried several combinations of: press power button for 10+ seconds, press volume down+power button 10+ seconds, volume up+power button 10+ seconds, actually the 10+seconds went up to a few minutes pressed with no success.
I left the phone overnight charging, although no light was turned on (we tried with other phones and the charger/cable was working properly) and re-tested with the several-button combinations with no success as well
I tried to contact amazon and they were not able to refund for my item since the purchase was almost three months ago, and I'm not able to send it for service with Huawei since is the "No-warranty" version, this is actually the third Honor (5x, 6x now 8x) "international version No-warranty" the other two still working like a charm.
I refuse to have a $200 brick, so if you have any suggestions please let me know.
Thanks in advance for your help!!!
Greetings from Mexico.
I think Amazon should replace the phone if it was a direct Amazon sale and not Marketplace.
Thanks for your reply, I've contacted Amazon and unfortunately there is no way to return the item according to their policies so I'm stuck with a ~3 months old brick.
Since the phone is almost lost I'm not afraid of give it a shot, I will disassemble it in order to "remove" the battery (unhook the ribbon cable from the PCB), I've recovered some old phones that way hopefully does the trick.
