Nokia Lumia 720 Automatically giving message time to time 'Slide down to power off'

[WPCentral Question]

Hi,

I am using Nokia Lumia 720. The results are the best so far.

However today I started facing following issue.

It is giving me the message 'Slide down to power off' automatically in regular intervals without clicking any button.

When I slide down it should shut down and stay shut down till I start again, however it is restarting automatically and again flashing the same message.

The middle button is not working for me.

Can anyone please advice me what can be the solution for this ?

Regards

Seems like the power button is stuck. If your phone is still under warranty, send it for repair. If not, try removing the battery cover. then turn on the phone without the cover installed.

Same thing with my Lumia 928. I swipe to unlock it, and there is the 'slide down to power off' message. Very annoying.

I'm facing exactly the same problem in my Nokia Lumia 720. I didn't do any game update etc. I was on a call and all of sudden it started and I have restarted it multiple times but issue is not resolved. It is very annoying.. need help!!!

This turned out to be a hardware issue. Due to moisture power button wasn't working properly and got it replaced in ₹250. It is working fine after that.
