Both my mine and my wife's phones were updated to 4.0.4. As soon as we updated we started having issues. When the screen would go black into locked mode, we couldnt bring it back. We would have to pull the battery to restart it just to get the phone working again. Would happen probably 5 times a day. Then yesterday, my phone started doing it every single time the phone would go into locked mode. The only way it would come out of it is if i would do a battery pull, someone would call, an alarm would go off or I would get a text.
So now the power button doesnt work at all and isnt responsive to anything. I even did a factory reset; nothing. I read somewhere to let the phone completely die, take battery out, plug back in, insert battery. So I did that. But now....its at the charging screen and I cant power on the phone at all.
Called AT&T. Called Samsung. Basically, I am SOL because my screen is partially cracked so nothing can be done for me at all.
PLEASE. ANY suggestions? I have five months left on my contract, I cant buy a new phone!
EDIT: After a bit of charging and another battery swap, I was able to get back in. Power button still doesnt work though. And of coursethe apps that allow you to map different buttons for the wake screen option dont work with 4.0.4. Samsung and AT&T keeps saying that its impossible that a firmware update affected my power button. But I never had issues until RIGHT after i updated. Same with my wife's phone. And the more im reading online, the more it seems 4.0.4 is affecting the power button? WTF is going on here!?!?
