Power button doesn't work after new update...and that's the least of it

Ever since I updated my 4S with the new software my phone has had so many problems:
Power button no longer works. I have to hold both the home button down and the power button to "reset" my phone to turn it off.
I am having to do this CONSTANTLY b/c my phone freezes up ALL the time. When texting, using maps, other apps. Sometimes I can't get the freaking thing to even unlock. Texting is a disaster. Half the time they don't go through and when my phone freezes up for the millionth time that day and I reset, I later find out that my freaking texts didn't even go through. I HATE THE NEW SOFTWARE HELP!!

If you are able to hold your home button and sleep/wake button down at the same time to reset the phone, you should be able to power it off just fine...

  • ENVY 7640 - Power Button doesn't work after going to sleep

    We print about once a day. It printed the first day without problems.The second day, we were unable to print and went to the printer and pushed the touchscreen - nothing happened.Then we pushed the power button - nothing happened,Then we unplugged and re-pluged the power cord - the printer booted and we were able to print. The third day, we were unable to print and went to the printer and pushed the touchscreen - nothing happened.Then we pushed the power button - nothing happened,Then we unplugged and re-pluged the power cord - the printer booted and we were able to print.The fourth day, we were unable to print and went to the printer and pushed the touchscreen - nothing happened.Then we pushed the power button - nothing happened,Then we unplugged and re-pluged the power cord - the printer booted and we were able to print.Then we registered with this forum and ask this question:HOW CAN WE KEEP THIS PRINTER POWERED ON WITHOUT RE-PLUGGING IT EVERY DAY? 

    I have the same issue as described at the beginning of this post.  As noted by teacher, I have checked and confirmed the green light in back is still lit.  I just bought this printer and issues started from the beginning. After I unplug and then restart the printer that way, it turns on and the power button will turn off and then turn on the printer.  Its only after its static for a long time and goes into some undefined mode.  At that point, the printer no longer responds.  How can a company ship a product to customers in which the power button doesn't work? The only reason I bought this printer was becuase my HP Photosmart 7510 randomly gave me printer head error after changing the ink.  It was only like 3 years old.  I can't believe my new printer is buggy.  Your company is on thin ice now. Please help me resolve this problem.

  • Re: Portege R500: Contros button doesn't work after installing update

    After installing the most recent version of Toshiba's Value Added Package, the two buttons (toshiba assist and backlight on/off) do not work properly: they open instead a firefox browser window.
    I assume there is something to configure in the "optimisation" section of Toshiba Assist.
    When I open the program "Toshiba buttons functions" (sorry for the puny translation, in Spanish it's called: "Funciones de botones de Toshiba") all the entries are blank and I have to indicate the Url of the program supposed turning off my LCD's backlight...
    I have no clue where to find this executable.
    Can anybody help me?

    Thanks for the response.
    I hope I don't have to use such an extreme solution. Mainly because I *really* don't have time for restoring an OS. Furthermore, if I have to restore everything every time I update the computer: what is the point of updating?
    There must be a more subtle solution... don't you think?

  • Ran update this morning.  Now power button doesn't work and soft boot brings to the battery/cord icon as if there's no power.  Can't get into anything.  Any help on this?

    Update for Windows was run this morning---it actually made me run it twice.  I was initially able to use my phone but now I get nothing but the battery/power cord symbol.  The power button doesn't work at all.  I have tried soft boot of the down volume and power button.  Seems to reboot but same screen appears.  I cannot access anything on the phone.  Is there any help on this? 

        Hey there, javadan! Thanks for letting us know about the problem with your software upgrade. I'm very sorry for the issues you're having. Based on the two attempts to process, I would have to say there was a problem with both install attempts. You may need to process a factory reset. Which model device do you have?

  • Volume and Power button doesn't work..how do I fix?

    My son's volume buttons or the power button doesn't work.  Is there something I can do to fix these issues?

    Try the following to rule out a software problem.
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • The screen doesn't work except on the bottom and i cant reboot it because my power button doesn't work, The screen doesn't work except on the bottom and i cant reboot it because my power button doesn't work

    I was in the middle of texting my mom and the screen stopped working! It only stopped working in the middle but i can't even turn it back on because my password numbers won't work when i touch them! I also cannot reboot my ipod because the power button doesn't work! I need help on fixing this problem please!!

    Try as best you can with broken button.:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:
    For PC
    RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
    If necessary:
    Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
    For MAC or PC
    The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT201263 iPhone not recognized by iTunes and my power button doesn't work

    My iPhone just shut down after a call, battery was around 60%, its power button doesn't work and iTunes doesn't recognize it. I can't put it in DFU mode because that's by pressing home and power simultaneously but I don't have a power button. I can't restores via iTunes because it doesn't recognize it. What am I supposed to do?!!

    Same thing happened to me today...when googling found people having same problem with iphone 4 and said to hold power and home buttons to reboot.  It worked! I was in a panic but its like it never happened...everything is as it was before. Even showed a missed call...

    Hi! I bought my iPhone from USA and the power button doesn't work. I have warranty. I will come to UK soon. I wanna learn; can i benefit my warranty in UK?

    The warranty is not and has never been International.  Warranty and support are only valid in the country of origin.  The only exception is for devices sold in the EU where the EU is treated as one country for warranty and support purposes.

  • My iPhone 5 is disabled and the power button doesn't work. How would I fix it?

    My iPhone 5 is disabled and the power button doesn't work. How would I fix it? Please Help

    wait it for your iPhone to die then before it turns it plug it into iTunes while holding the home button and it will force it into recovery mode.
    will be hard to get the timing right cause u will need to wait for the battery to die and charge up again. Other then that just take it to apple and have them replace the device for a fee.
