Most probably your power button is faulty.

Yes so i visited service center and they flashed nougat and tried to convince me its software issue

Yup same here. Its been going on for 3-4 days and is really annoying me. I think there's something wrong with the button

I had the same issue. It was due to an option "double tap power button" to wake up camera app (I have activated it in nougat) that wasn't present in oreo. I donwgraded to Nougat with a custom rom and no more problem, it was a software issue. It was very annoying, I have used Nova launcher and the option double tap to sleep in order to not use the button.
For me it was an issue with Oreo due to a dirty flash upgrade.

Oreo also have that option(search 'camera" in settings), but on single press it opens camera, that's the problem

Happens sometimes, the physical buttons are pretty bad, they get so squishy after some time. Just disable the double tap for camera, or just return it, it's probably still in warranty and it's acting faulty...

Yes that's the problem because when the gesture is activated before the upgrade it's impossible to desactivate it.
The problem disappears with the downgrade.
For me it wasn't a hardware issue, it was a software issue due to a mismatch between nougat and oreo gesture for activating camera with the power button.
No problem with my power button now and I will never activate this gesture again!!!! :laugh:

Still don't you feel uncomfortable? That you got defective power button?

No more problem with the button. It works perfectly now. I've never had a defective button, for me it was a software issue solved by a downgrade.
I'm agree with the sevice center who tried to convice you. It has happened to me exactly the same situation that you describe and it's solved now.

I've the same issue. Discovered it with Oreo January and it is still present in Orea February Update.

Its definitely a hardware issue

The people saying that the problem was fixed after they disabled the gesture fail to understand that the fault in the gesture is the external manifestation of a larger problem which resides in the power button hardware. The only sustainable solution to this issue, involves root and/or custom roms. If you want to know more, reply to this quote.

PS: The service centres also tried to convince me that it is a software issue, and flash nougat over my los15.1.

The power button on this phone is a little bit flimsy. Too many phones have this issue and the only workaround is to disable a camera shortcut as offered earlier.

The service center fixed same problem for me by replacing one part. You can replace it by yourself, if you brave enough: https://aliexpress.com/item/for-Xia...Switch-Flex-Cable-for-Xiaomi/32848157799.html

Disassembly video. It's pretty easy.

[pooniaprashant]

its a hardware issue, the power button is flimsy, i believe its more because of the button themselves then the button circuits as mentioned in the post above.

I thought it is hardware issue but then i realise that volume buttons are also having something same issue and works multiple times pressed once or somtimes volume decrease but no volume pannel.

 

[panduro]

So, the only way to fix I need to disassembly the phone? Service Center will not fix it?

Thanks
