[Q] Power Button Not Working

[crysreal]

I recently upgraded from 4.2 to 4.3 (Slim Bean) and suddenly my Power button doesn't work well.
When I press it, it doesn't wake the screen (not all the time, sometimes it does.)
When I remove the battery and put it in, the phone turns on immediately without me pressing the power button.
Sometimes the shutdown menu comes up randomly.
In CWM, I can't select anything ( the power button was used to select things in the menu.

Is it related to the upgrade, or is it just a coincidence of broken parts?

Any advice/workarounds?


Thanks!

It is a coincidence. Turn off the phone and try to turn it back on. Do you have the same issue? Note that Slim is not even loaded yet. Try to clean the button, search how, many threads on this subject here. Workaround is called Volume Rocker Wake, it's in ROM settings. Different place on different ROMs, but almost all custom ROMs have it. Good luck!
