Power Button Failure

AnyGiven · #1 (**permalink**) 06-28-2009, 11:19 PM

My power button does not work 90% of the time. I am scared if my battery dies that I can not turn this phone back on. It happened twice but through constant cursing at the phone, prayer, and cursing out the phone again it turned back on. Has this happened to anyone else? Is this my fault or Sprint? Is this due to flashing (flashed it 3 times so far)?

well it's not from flashing, although it's likely something to do with the specific rom or software your using.
it is possibly a hardware issue, but if that were the case it would never work or only work if you push it jussstt right.

Get that cab to turn it off and then pop your stylus out and it will turn on

I ACCIDENTLY LET MY PHONE DIE!!!!!!!! NOW I CANT TURN THIS ON!!!!!! The reset button does not work in an off state (Sprint). I was lucky to turn it back on twice (one time in line in a Sprint store to get it looked at). This isn't a known problem??
