- Is the power button on your Android phone broken? Well, don’t dump it in the recycling bin just yet, because you can still turn on your device even if the power button isn’t working.
Here are several methods of turning on an Android phone even when the power button isn’t working:
[00:34] Use Your Phone Charger
[01:14] Use an alternative Home Launcher
[02:01] Use the Android Bridge (ADB)
[03:01] Remap your power button

All of these require the phone to be powered on. Or the adb trick requires one to turn that on prior to the power button crapping out. I may be wrong but i think the majority of people watching this vid cant turn their phone on due to the power button crapping out and prob didnt think they need to find a trap door for if their power button decides to stop working and the phone is off or battery runs down.
how the hell u tell me to instal that application when my phone can't be turned on...
How the hell can u comment when ur phone cant be turn on

If you own a Samsung galaxy press both top and bottom volume buttons for 10 secs then plug in the charger for 5 secs while still holding the volume buttons.Then unplug the charger and leave the volume button at the same time.OS installation will pop up,cancel it with the bottom volume button and your phone will start.
Edit:It mostly works with recent sumsung Galaxys.
Didn't work 😔
@@ranjanibhat4417 It mostly works with recent Samsung Galaxies,like from 2017 upwards.
What Samsung galaxy do you own
WORKS SO WELL !!! THANKS MATE !! I WAS SOO WORRIYING MY ALL PERSONAL ADAT WAS STORE ON THIS PHONE THANKS MATE !! REALLY MEANT TO ME !!]
But try to plug the usb into the laptop or computer input. Cause thats how my phone started otherwise it was only charging
TLDR:
"How to Turn Your Android Phone on When the Power Button Is Not Working
Step 1: Ensure your phone is already powered on".
Thanks! 🤦
i would like to thank you for 4:03 been searching for a technician to fix my power button and it costs $15 (800 Php). I could have bought a new one since my phone is 5 years old, but i even rarely use it and just use it for making and accepting calls
In order to use ADB usb debugging needs to be enabled right? My samsung android phone is switched off and long pressing volume up and down button simultaneously while connecting to a laptop isnt doing the trick. any suggestions people
I have an issue where the power buttons not working but the phone was out of charge when this had happened
I have the same problem what should I do 😭
Same
Exactly same
Same
Same prblm now my phone is switched off pls help me
What about post shutdown? Havent installwd anything. How to turn on w/o power button?
If the power button doesn't work, these aren't an option. This is absolute nonsense.
Helped me lol
@@joeroagan66 Your power button was clearly working.
Yeah bro i cant do anything can u say what u do
Just try pressing the volume down button, wait after a few seconds and it should be able to turn on,, it has worked out for me
@@LookSomewhereElse9 OF COURSE THE VOL DOWN BUTTON. the only button that works for my old phone (for nostalgic purposes) is the volume up button lmao
What Should i do when i do not have working volume buttons
damn bro, go to repair center
I lost my off and on button on my samsung 4g thank you for teaching me :)
The phone charger thing was a first go to even before this video
help please, i did the holding down volume up button while charging it bringing me to the android recovery screen, to press it i guess you need power button. idk how to press reboot
Dude, this is not working at all if I do it with my phone off and then pressing the volume button.
What if all your buttons are not working except all the middle one below the screen and the PC does not recognize your device ?(it is charging however but it says does not recognized) because i have all that problems.
While holding down the volume down button, wait three seconds and then plug in the USB cable. You can release the volume down button after plugging in the USB cable. The phone will go into a factory menu, where you can exit, reboot, and then reboot again. You can then remove the USB cable if the phone has a battery."
sadly it won't work, as starting to charge only puts it into a seperate charging instance (without the ability to connect to a pc), where you'd need to hold the power button to rly turn it on. But thanks anyway
It doesn't show my device as attached in my cmd.. What shall i do?
i have an urgent question and would be really happy if it got answered, how should i turn on my phone once it has ran out of battery, it normally turns back on after the alarms but that means i wont be able to use it on the whole weekend. i need to know a way i can turn it on once it's completely dead. like it just ran out of power. please i really need it, i would be thankful if i got an answer
same thing happened to my samsumg a51, did u find a solution?
@@Sanitymovieclips yeah! Well you kinda have to restart your phone for it but it's not exactly hard,,
Press the upper button that allows to do sound (if its combined, just do the upper level), then put in the charger at the same time, dont stop any of em until your phone starts up, then you will get an option to reboot it and boom, it's on again
It might be a bit different for you, but for me it has helped a bunch,, I hope I can make your day better
@@Sanitymovieclips though I am not sure if itll work out the same, but please give it a try
@@LookSomewhereElse9 thank you bruh. It worked..
wouldnt you charge the phone????
tysm omg u help me very much omg 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
So my family doesnt have eniugh money to get me a new phone and my phone only turns on when i plug it in so that means i can use it while away from home 🙁
Finally something for English for once
Using the package disabler app can disable the power button of the android device.
It was really helpful. I have a reason for not fixing my power button now
My doesn't allow me to type anything thing it says very app you touch says stoped working android launcher 3 now what to do
Just hold down the power button for 30 seconds. It worked for mine twice.
Mine just sends me to Google..it fell and cracked last week and now won't charge but will stay at the percentage as long as it's plugged in and not used . I can't afford another phone 😭
the volume button trick helped me, thank u :)
It is completely helpful, but my phone battery is totally depleted. How about that, Sir, How to turn it on back?
charge it maybe?
bruh moment for this dood@@thedisintegrador
For me it worked as follows:
- Plug in the mobile phone and press the "Volume down" button. The device goes into fastboot mode.
- Open appointment and enter the following (after adb has been installed, of course)
adb devices
fastboot devices
fastboot reboot
Device reboots. Voila!
What if volume button does not work
I have a BRAVE TABLET so it's button both volume and power button's are not working so i knew that the plug trick but i dont know how it turned off with 100 percent charging also plz make a video on BTSL1 tablet
Also thanks for the advice bcz there was nothing written on the device book
what if the volume button and the power button cable has been broken from the device and it has been power down
Same phone works but is powered down and that flex cable for side buttons broke off helpppppp
@@andre9552 thxx just now realized the display has been broken too
Greetings, currently adb devices isnt showing my phone. I have installed its driver( Nokia 7.2), my Pc recognizes me plugging and unplugging it. Any advice?
It really works 💯
I cannot do any of the above: my cell turned off and won't go on.
i Have Samsung j3, pretty old and i lost my power button, the only method that worked is to charge your phone while pressing volume down and the home button all at the same time, it will show the OS installation, just cancel it with the volume down and your phone will restart. If it didn't work, just try to play with the buttons, try to just press volume up/ or down and home screen button until it works.
What if the phone is powered off
Plug up the phone then hold down the down volume button if powered off
@@Banned_Userr hey my phone crashed and none of these methods work
thank you so much for this hack ! i was so scared but not until i found this video, thank you again
I lost my power button how can I restart my phone
My phone just switched off, hope the ADB will help :(
have you tried ?
So, for anyone where your phone is perfectly split on half and it died and now you want to turn it on. Plug her up on a good charger for like 5 mins for me i could see it was charging as the screen is not cracked, so idk how itll be for others but. Since i have a galxy a14 that still has the power button attached to its cable all i did was find the volume up and down buttons,(i tried the voulume up and plugging it in and it didnt work for 10 minutes) but find the down button and kinda line up the power button and basically caress that area with your fucked up fingerprint/power button and after a few tries of holding the finger print and moving it up and down my samsung screen popped on and buzzed. Idk what itll do for others but this did work for me just bc the voulme up trick didnt work
plug and unplug my phone and my screen is on, also when someone is calling. It looks like there is no other method for my phone Galaxy J8. The power button has the monopoly in my case.
So what do i do if the adb stuff doesnt detect my phone
Did your Mom ever sleep with Tim Roth? lol
is there no hope for me when the volume buttons doesn't work either?
Hi, I have a Samsung Galaxy A13 5g phone and the power button doe not work. Is there any steps i can take to power up/Start the phone back up? Pleaseeeee, i need help. Thank You
My phone is damaged but I used can air and it's back! May not apply to all phones
I dropped my phone in the sink and now the power button won’t work
My problem here is that My phone is turned off as in the turned off(I cant access lock screen homescreen) and my power button is not working.
Try plugging into your pc and just hold volume down
same, i dont have a pc i have a chromebook
@@keyboardwarrior7538 I did that but it says windows doesn't recognize the usb?
@@jessegilliam6161 try leaving phone plugged to socket to receive power then hold the volume keys for about 10 seconds. Try just volume up, just volume down, both of them. Hopefully one works. After that try setting your phone so it automatically turns on when charging
Plugging in to the charger will wake up the phone but will not turn the phone on if the power button doesnt work.
@ATLI IT ALSO WORKS ON REDMI PHONES TOO☺😊THANK YOU SO MUCH
yep
Anytime I see someone messing with a power shell or console I know I'm dealing with a wannabe.
Stop wasting peoples time.
My power button isn't working and my phone shut down😑😑
I downloaded SDK platform tools, and I opened ADB application file, but it just opened and instantly closed. I got no command prompt, except for the last application file, which didn't do anything, no adp, no .help I have a pixel 3 and windows, PLS HELP
In the file explorer, at the top where it shows the file path. Click at that space just after the last file name and type cmd. Press enter...
Thank you so much for the advice. I have turned on my oneplus 6 by simply connecting it to PC and pressing volume down button. God bless you...
i have no power button and no volume buttons, either. The entire back cover of my phone is missing. I was okay with it as long as I had it charged and in "ON" position, but accidentally I let the battery die. So no way I can turn it any more. If anyone knows the way how to turn an android phone with a naked back on, I'm all ears.
damn man, i have the same problem. No power and volume, but my phones back still intact.
@@pantherom9970 same
same here :,)

Finally, someone who speaks fluent English. YES
Screen just jump on and off and will not power up to the regular screen

Do you have any tutorials on performing the adb option?

How do I set up abd?
Wtf can't I just go into settings and turn phone off
I brought my phone in to get the screen repaired and somehow they broke the power button... so now I can't power on the device to retrieve data. Please help!!!
How to get ADB
thanks mate.. really helpful..saved my day
thanks a lot
I downloaded Android Studio because the website said adb was included. When I tried your instructions it didn't work. Reading some of the documentation says settings on the device must be changed so adb can be used. Do you have any advice?
Try Installing Minimal adb and fastboot tool and run the commands in cmd. It may help.
Yeah also u need to enable adb debugging tool(from settings enable developer oprion ) then and only it will work
@@BASED525 so if dev mode is enabled (to which I recall it is on my s21) I should in theory be able to boot it via PC? I don't recall the usb debug setting as I was mainly trying to disable forced updates from AT&T as they are notorious for bricking devices, which happened during one of the last updates and disabled my power button function but not the locking functions. It still accepts a charge but won't boot manually.
Geeksquad, ubreakifix, att, and a handful of other service centers claim to know nothing about this, meanwhile I spent 20 minutes doing research before finding this rabbit hole. I'm far from tech savvy but if I can find it why can't they? Lol
MY volume key is also not working
my power button is broken and my phone is power off ............what should i do to turn it on .?
Its not working for my Samsung galaxy J2 pro

Hi. The power button of my LG V60 stopped working. Probably due to the paste when I apply it on the new LCD. Is there anyway to fix this issue?
