It seems that my power button stopped working.

When I push to close the screen
Is this happening to anyone else?
Also went into settings, and it seems there is no Home Screen function.
Or to close screen??

Until you get it repaired, you can pull down the quick panel and use the power ucon to shut down your phone. You can go to settings and turn on the double tap feature, which will wake or lock the screen when you double tap. Advanced fratures/motions and gestures/double tap to turn on screen and double tap to turn off screen.

It really seems to be a software issue.Because there is no option on the side button for home screen or sleep power off.
Will not activate neither anything else on this screenOvY0s4Kscj.png
