Samsung s6 Power/lock button not working but works in safe mode

[Android Central Question]

Samsung s6 - power button only works in safe mode. Did a factory reset four times, uninstalled all downloaded apps. Google assistant keeps being activated on its own. I think it has to be a software issue as the button works in safe mode. How can I fix it?

Safe mode stops apps you installed from starting when you start the phone. A software issue with the phone's firmware would be there in safe mode or normal mode. So it has to be something you installed.

I am having the same issue, I woke up this morning and can't lock my screen power off or use my home button . Also my Google assistant kept turning on and I never even use it !
