Power button defective? Can't turn phone back on right after shut down.

AS329 · #1 (**permalink**) 06-09-2010, 02:35 PM

I can hold down the power button to get the menu to turn the phone off, however, once the phone is off, the button does not turn the phone back on. I have to pull the battery to get it to turn on. Anyone else? Am I missing something? TIA

thanks, if BB truly has their second shipment in I may try to get an exchange...unless someone here figures something out before I get back from traveling.

I too have noticed this.... the power button works fine for initiating shutdown and for turning the screen on and off... but... once it powers off I sometimes have to wait 10-30 seconds before I can power it on via the button.... makes me wonder if there is some latent capacitance after power off that has to dissipate or if its just an OS bug...

I have 3 evos in the family, I am having my wife test.

Mods, if appropriate can you combine these two threads.

Can anyone else test and report back?

I noticed it the first night i got the device when i shut it down. The other night i again tried it and didnt notice it if it did happen. Maybe it isnt an issue like hex mentioned but just a built in delay ? Idk im just guessing but im gonna try it again right now n c

After shut down i noticed the green LED to have a heartbeat similar to a notification ... could not power on while that was in effect. As soon as it stopped it powered up no problem .. hex's opinion is a direction id lean to as well
