Power button issue

[davehorne]

In Settings / Advanced Features / Side Key / Press and Hold, I have Power Menu enabled.

The power button does nothing until  I go back, choose Bixby and then re enable Power Menu.  The side button will only work for a while, the Setting doesn't appear to stick, if you know what I mean.

Anyone else have this issue?

Greetings! Sorry it took a while to respond. I wanted to test things out on my S24 Ultra and S22 Ultra. After several tests over the past few days, I believe that YOU have solved this problem for me, THANK YOU! I had a feeling that it was something in GoodLock that was causing this problem, because everything was fine prior to installing GoodLock. Excellent sleuthing on your part! Hopefully Samsung is still monitoring this thread. I'll be sure to pass this along to them and Verizon and to give you the credit the next time I talk to them. Thank You again! 👊

Ah your very welcome, it was very frustrating and took me a couple of weeks to find the solution. All the best, the S24 Ultra otherwise has been a great phone for me.

I have same issue. Changed to press hold to open power menu, but it works for awhile only. It will go back to some other function like opening up Gpay or open Google Home app. Those are settings i previously set it to.

Read the notes above. Do you have good lock installed?

This was the fix for me

Many thanks to Rushfan for the solution, which fixed the issue on an S25 phone and S11 tab.

Amusingly Good Lock wasn't even installed on the tab. However, installing it, opening Registar, disabling the Side Key option, then uninstalling Good Lock, the button now shows the Power Off Menu with a long press - and it's a permanent fix!
