Power button issues on my CDMA touch pro
 

I've recently noticed that after my device is left for periods of time and the backlight goes off and turns orff into its low power mode, i cant wake it up. I hit the power button and nothing happens. This issue is hit or miss, sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt. It makes using the alram clock on my device hard when its frozen in the morning. Anyone else expericning this issue?

I am just recently having this issue too. I dont know why. I do a hard reset and its not as bad but it still does it about 1/5 times pressed, but before the hard reset it wouldn't work at all!

I'm afraid that If I take it into a sprint store its not going to mess up for them.

Have you guys loaded any custom roms on the phone?

Re: Power button issues on my CDMA touch pro
 

Im using the stock rom but with custom apps and stuff. I dont think its software related but I can't say that I don't notice an improvement when I do a hard reset. Maybe its an app or a hack that I have????

Re: Power button issues on my CDMA touch pro
 

Are your devices on the charger when this happens? I had this happen with me on the stock rom, but never on mightyrom(or any other custom rom for that matter)

Re: Power button issues on my CDMA touch pro
 

It could be something that you installed..I would install one thing at a time to see what is causing that problem.

Re: Power button issues on my CDMA touch pro
 

It happens on and off the charger.

I think im going to just restore my backup to a couple of weeks ago and hopefully that will solve the problem.

Re: Power button issues on my CDMA touch pro
 

I restored my backup and everythings back to normal. I wonder what caused it???

Re: Power button issues on my CDMA touch pro
 

Ok this is really starting to piss me off! Its back to doing it! Even after I restore back to a couple of weeks ago, and I know that it wasn't doing it then. The biggest problem is trying to get the idiot techs at the sprint store to fix it. If it doesn't act up in front of them, they are just going to Shooo me away!

Remove all apps and start from fresh. See if for a day or two if its does it or not. If it does not do it put on one app and let it go for a day and so fort. It could be one or more apps conflicting, or a hack that you forgot. That back up is not going to work.

I'm having this same exact issue. All of yesterday evening my power button didn't work....Migty rom, Stock rom, with after market apps, without after market apps, etc. No matter how many times I hard reset, the button just wounldn't turn on. I wake up this morning to take the phone to Sprint, now the power button work flawlessly....wtf

Re: Power button issues on my CDMA touch pro
 

I've had this problem also. When it happens I need to soft-reset to 'wake' the phone up. It happens very sporadically, so I've just been brushing it off as another 'quirk' of the TP.

Actually, while it only happens occasionally during the day - it happens a lot first thing in the morning when I unplug it.

mine just starting doing this a couple days ago too

Re: Power button issues on my CDMA touch pro
 

Does anyone else have a problem where if the phone does wake up as it should - for some reason the data connection suddenly decides it can't connect? I often have to soft-reset for that problem too.

Re: Power button issues on my CDMA touch pro
 

Well, yesterday I took my phone in to my local Sprint repair center, and they simply replaced the slider/screen. I told them I was having the sporadic faulty power button issue as well as people not being able to hear me sporadically on in/out bound calls, as well as screen glitches when slowly scrolling on a screen. Anyway long story short, my faulty power button issue is no more...as well as all the other issues I report. The power button is attached to the slider, so you guys should probably try that...having Sprint replace the slider.

I have been having the sme issue... Think I can get Sprint to change the slider for me on my Verizon model? :)

Had the same issue with mine and it only got worse had to take it back to alltel. did not mess up for the rep but he did warrnty it out and give me a new one anyway.

Re: Power button issues on my CDMA touch pro
 

Been having the same issues, I can almost always wake mine up by briefly sliding open the kb. I have found that this issue is typically (but only temporarily) resolved by hard-reset and/or installing a new ROM.

One thing that seemed to work very well for a while (but does not seem to work any more) was to slide out the kb and then pull "up" on the power button, get your fingernail under the back edge of the power button and pull up. This instantly solved the issue for me on a number of occasions, but again the result was only temporary.

I'm thinking that it may be that pocket-lint/dust/etc. may be getting under the button and interfering with its functioning... But thats obviously just a theory. It would be nice if anyone could figure out how to remove the power button (without breaking anything) to see what is going on underneath...

I am presently considering trying to get a warranty/insurance replacement phone from Sprint, but I admit I really don't want to go through the hassle of relocking the SPL and finding and installing the stock OS...

had the same issue...

I removed the stylus and used it to poke the likkle switch in the stylus housing...

it was stuck and was preventing the power button from working

cheers..

I get this occasionally and soft reset to get it back. Typically it happens overnight. It is interesting that often after I discover the phone this way in the morning, the battery has not charged and is near zero.
